      @domubpkm Development of WayDroid doesn't depend on UBports foundation.
      Currently it works well on selected devices, but several issues remaining. (for instance GPS in Ubuntu Touch is killed when WayDroid is started).
      So yes, I assume it's still "early alpha" yet.

      Thanks to Aaron, there's now an app in the open store called WayDroid helper, which is in very active développent phase, giving tools to better manage WayDroid, for a smoother experience.

        @stanwood Im using WayDroid on Samsung Galaxy S10 for a while now. It works just perfectly without any issues.
        You might consider adding it to your list (https://forums.ubports.com/post/58835)

            Just to inform that a Micro-G update is available in F-Droid store.
            I could test it successfully, no issue has occurred 😉

              @stanwood , I think MI A2 WIFI problem is not only when using Google Apps, I have phone crashing each time when trying to open DuckDuckGo or MS Edge (all works when WIFI disabled an phone is on LTE).
              Btw. When going thru list of fully functional devices, I see this is not properly mentioned on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ (all those have "?" next to Waydroid feature). Would you know where to report it?

                  @matt73 Will not the WayDroid Helper app not do it with a complete restart after? If not try UT TweakTool to clear cache, user data etc then delete WayDroid.

                    @lakotaubp Ok, strange how the Waydroid icon remains after a factory reset. I will try what you suggested. If it doesn't work, do you know how I would completely wipe the phone and start again? I have a Google Pixel 3a XL.

                      @lakotaubp Couldn't see how to clear cache in UT tweaks. I just want to remove all traces of Waydroid off the phone, get UT up and running again and leave it at that for now. I'm not a natural nerd and this is just giving me a headache now.

                        @matt73 To remove a remaining icon, open terminal and:

                        cd /home/phablet/.local/share/applications
                        rm 'APPLICATION NAME'

                            Thank you for your instruction. Now I can run Waydroid on UT by click waydroid desktop icon with google pixel 3.
                            According to my understanding Waydroid is a wayland client, but I can't run glmark2-es2-wayland directly on UT or start Waydroid direrctly in UT terminal, how should I run a wayland client ?

                              @stanwood Thank you for the detailed description.

                              I followed the B) method (manual installation) on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro.

                              apt update run with several error messages,
                              after that everything went smoothly,
                              except the last command: there is no anbox.conf file, there is no gbinder.d directory at all.

                              Can you give me any hint?

                              Thank you in advance.

                                  @madas I've manually created the anbox.conf file and followed the manual procedure as well. I didn't get an error for gbinder. I wiped my phone to try something else so I don't have waydroid now but if u r still stuck let me know.

                                    @nakele How did you generate the anbox. conf? I have a Vollaphone (Ota-24), the installation of Waydroid was perfect, but I get the error that no path/file gbinder.d/anbox.conf exists - and under etc it really does not exist. Waydroid can not be started after that.
