      @LRV Weird, OTA-13 did not change anything concerning Android kernels, that are already installed in the Nexus 5 Ubuntu Touch image.

      However, since Anbox touches the root of the system image, it must be reinstalled after each OTA update:

      sudo mount -o rw,remount /
      sudo apt update
      sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb
      anbox-tool install
      exit

      Than re-install your .apk apps as described above. It should work.

      EDIT: Do not load Anbox cd-image as it is already charged in the Nexus 5 by default...

          @tgv34 Ok, so you might resize your memory partition dedicated to Anbox as follow:

          sudo mount -o rw,remount /
          sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt
          sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/loop0
          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb
          sudo mount -o ro,remount /
          exit

          It should work fine after this.

            I guess you can also mount /var/cache/apt from the userdata partition.
            This way what is installed is kept after an OTA.
            But I never tried it myself cause I have no need for Anbox.

                @stanwood Just curious because I didn't install :
                Have you tested Firefox through Anbox? If yes, is it fully operational: downloading, acceleration...

                  @domubpkm No, I installed Anbox on an experimental basis and tried a few Android apps. But didn't use Firefox as Morph is really fine for me. But I guess you can install Firefox not using Anbox but with Libertines. (easier way)
