      Hi,

      At the moment we are talking with a developer about how we can start to work on Anbox.

            @xray2000 Just a quick thought: I don't see the banking issue being solved through anbox. Even lineageOS won't run most banking apps, even with microG or Gapps for some... Our only hope is that banks will, for some unlikely reason, start to develop for UT. We shouldn't give people false hopes 🙂

                        "Quick update from April 9 2021:

                        As previously announces, a Volla phone working device has been shipped to the developer.
                        The smartphone is currently blocked by the Customs Service of the Russian Federation for administrative reasons.
                        We are working hard with our local partners to get the device to the recipient as soon as possible.

                        Thank you for your patience.

                        We would like to take this opportunity to thank all contributors for your generous participation in this fantastic project.

                        The campaign continues. Feel free to join us and stay up-to-date."

                          @xray2000 in the Russia they have introduced a slightly strange law, probably meaning versus Google Android and Apple iOS, according to this law into each saled smartphone must be installed with a Russian browser (any "russian" build :), a Russian search engine (Yandex), Russian email service (Mail.ru, etc...), Russian messenger (ICQ? ), and Russian social network (VK.com ?), Russian antivirus (Kasperskiy ?), Russian voice assistant (Yandex Alisa or Mail.ru Marusya), Gosuslugi service for communication with the gov., Mir payment system service (alternative to VISA and MasterCard), Russian cloud storage (Yandex Disk) and Russian software office (something based on "OpenOffice"). Otherwise there will be problems at customs. So we need someone to put it all together, at least in the form of Web-applications.

                              @markatrafik That's right, but I think this law (which is valid from April 1rst 2021) is related to the global sales market.
                              I don't think it applies to a single working device hopefully.

                                Dear everyone,

                                Here's a fresh new update:

                                We are pleased to announce that our developer now has a fully working device. It's a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, which she received from a member of this community right here! (Thank you @mardy ) 😉

                                As for the Vollaphone, it has been returned to the sender for legal customs reasons. Nevertheless, a new shipment will be sent to the developer's business address.

                                Anyway, work can now begin in earnest!

                                We are proud and happy to have raised over 3'000 Euros in donations at this stage. That said, the campaign continues, each participation brings us a little closer to our goal: Enabling decent use of Android applications in the Ubuntu Touch ecosystem.

                                All details are available here: https://gofund.me/acb31504

                                See you soon, for some new exciting updates.

                                  Very excited about this - fingers crossed chat applications with push notifications will at some point be supported, though I see how that might be challenging. Great initiative in either case.

                                  And shout out to the anonymous donor who gave 2 500 euros earlier today. 💸

                                    Dear all,

                                    Let's give you some fresh updates.

                                    We are very excited to announce that a primitive Anbox container has newly been built based on LineageOS 17 (Android 10), on a handful of Halium 9 devices. (Mainly on Redmi Note 7 currently)

                                    Although it is not yet operational now, things look well promising.
                                    The new phase now consists of various debugging tasks & adjustments.

                                    Of course, we are only at the very beginning, far away from a usable stage. But we'll be sure to call for alpha testers when the time comes.

                                    Many thanks to Alexandra, Erfan and all other devs involved for their precious work!

                                    We remind that Anbox is a very important project, which requires a lot of time and resources.

                                    Thanks to your support, we can continue to work towards the success of this amazing operation.

                                    Stay tuned for the next exciting update!

                                    Cheers,

                                    Rudi and Steve

                                      @xray2000 LinageOS 16 is Android 9 based. So I guess that goes better together with Halium9?
                                      Edit: ok great to hear that the Halium9 can work with Anboxed Android10.

                                      Fairphone 5 (waiting for port)

                                          Dear all,

                                          We are delighted to provide you with another exciting weekly update!

                                          Considerable progress has been made over the past week.

                                          The development team has grown with some impressive work from Erfan and Luka, who we thank very much.

                                          The Anbox container is currently partially operational on the Vollaphone and the FX Pro 1.
                                          It is a LineageOS session that starts as a virtual machine on top of the Ubuntu Touch session.
                                          It also allows access now to the camera and some games (SuperTuxKart for example). Here is a short demonstration video:
                                          https://twitter.com/Khode_Erfan/status/1388881976330006530?s=20

                                          This progress could never have happened without your support. We thank you very much for your valuable participation.

                                          The next steps include many challenges, such as activating the sensors, porting to the other Halium 9 devices, making it work stable and efficiently, as well as creating an installation script. This will probably be the most time-consuming and delicate phase. Indeed, Anbox is not yet usable in its current state.
                                          But we are more than confident in the success of this project, and the next few months are looking good!

                                          See you soon for more news!

                                            Dear all,

                                            Many of you are waiting for the latest developments this week:

                                            The LXC Anbox container is now created. The debugging tasks as well as the activation of the sensors are in progress. These small adjustments are actually a long part of the work.

                                            A next phase will be the creation of the kernel for each device (long road), which could potentially be integrated into the Ubuntu Touch root and thus distributed through OTAs.

                                            From everyone involved in this project: Thank you for your support.

                                            We look forward to providing you with further updates.
