        Dear all,

        A new fundraising site for the "Anbox-Halium" project for Ubuntu Touch has been activated: https://www.whydonate.eu/fundraising/anbox

        This one replaces the GoFundMe campaign https://gofund.me/acb31504

        The goal is to raise 5'000 Euros in provisions for future development work. This will be in addition of the 7'175 Euros raised on GoFundMe

        We are happy to continue to support Anbox in order to finally allow decent use of Android applications in the Ubuntu Touch ecosystem.

        Frequent updates will be posted here.

        Many thanks for your support!

        Rudi and Steve

          @stanwood said in Open Ubuntu Touch to all Android applications !:

          eventually

          Clarification : the meaning of the word 'eventually' may seem ambiguous outside the context or for french UT users. This word means FINALITY, ULTIMATE GOAL for me here. Isn't it ?

            @domubpkm Indeed, but to avoid confusion I changed the word!

              @stanwood ok. The meaning is 'ultimately'.

                Dear all,

                We're pleased to provide you a fresh update on the latest Anbox developments, that have been achieved last week:

                • Backported dmabuf from upstream mir to ubports mir in order to fix anbox display on pinephone (and other mainline devices with ubports)

                • Switched from qtwayland to native wayland

                • Prevented anbox from sleep and lock state

                • Added x86 support and lxc version >2 to scripts

                • Merged microg patches

                • Added mouse and keyboard support to wayland

                Thank you for your support (and patience). We also thank (one more time) Erfan for his great work!

                Continue to support Anbox project development: https://www.whydonate.eu/fundraising/anbox

                See you soon for the next update!

                  Micro G ? Did I read that right? Good news.

                  Question: as it stands, is this new anbox a big energy consumer or not?

                      I have a question, maybe farfetched 🙂, that comes to my mind : (the new) anbox is based on android 9 or 10 or 11 ? And must be updated according to the evolutions of android to adapt to the last versions of the app ?

                        @domubpkm LineageOS 17 based on Android 10 is the version AFAIK used in the new Anbox. This should be sufficent for a while, as security updates for that will be provided for quite some time.

                        Fairphone 5 (waiting for port)

                            Is there a current version which is easy to install and test?
                            Would like to try the current progress on my phone and looking for a tutorial.

                                    Are you all working with X86 Anbox team? Wondering if the wonderful work you are doing here will translate to X86 devices as well?

                                          Thanks again to everyone for the hard work. I am a big supporter of this work, but am a bit lost: the recent work seems to be focused around multi-window, etc. for desktop, which I would think is 2nd level priority over getting apps to work well "full screen" for phones. Is it all needing to be done at the same time, or can enough polish be made for phone users first, then those testers and feedback can inform desktop work as a 2nd stage? Maybe phone use is already polished enough, but I have thought it isn't ready to test yet?

                                            Hello all,

                                            I am very surprised how smoothly the new Anbox works on the video and am really looking forward to testing it myself sometime! Very big thank you for all the hard work.

                                            I unfortunately don't (yet) understand much about Linux/Ubuntu Touch and the technologies behind it (switched from BlackBerry OS 10 myself, which could also play Android apps, but with better hardware integration), so I wanted to ask if Anbox is expected to work on the Nexus 5 as well?
