      How are ya'll implementing the android compatibility? Like is it a generic Java VM that runs on ARM64, and you can just use a java vm, or do you need that + specific libraries that might be copyrighted, and then you gotta re-implement those libraries, or is it like a clusterf*** and they did a bunch of weird proprietary s*** and it might be easier to make a tool to let developers recompile their source code for free for a new target?

                Can it be installed and tested manually?

                The instructions you posted earlier in this thread seem to be for the regular anbox version if im not mistaken?

                    I see you are getting impatient which I can also understand... that's why I had a little chat with Erfan, and I can share with you the Anbox group, there you can ask how to test it, and get more help if needed.

                    The telegram group link: https://t.me/anbox_halium

                      Congratulations on your great project Xray. You might say people are impatient....we have already tried to install Anbox on the Oneplus One 🙂

                      Could someone please post any details about how to test here also? I don't have the facility to use Telegram unfortunately.

                          @xray2000 thanks for posting that, I wasn't aware of that page.

                          If there are any download links for kernels, or guides, posted in the telegram group maybe someone could post them here?

                          I'm ready to update to the halium release (oneplus one) and and would install a patched kernel for testing anbox.

                              In this sentence, you mean a more user (friendly) testable version ? a turnkey version to test ?

                                  I've been thinking - I have a spare FP2 on my hands I don't plan on using anytime soon. I understand anbox is now based on treble and won't run on anything under Halium 9. There's a Halium 7 build for FP2. Wouldn't that be a good testing device to try and port anbox to Halium 7 ? What I'm trying to say is I'm willing to send this FP2 to Erfan it this can help the majority of UT users with Halium 7.

                                    @emphrath Almost unpossible to send it to Erfan as in his country he can only except one phone per year.
                                    Also not possible to et Anbox on Halium 7 as it needs android9 vendor.

                                          Dear all,

                                          We're pleased to give you some fresh updates on the Anbox-Halium development over the past 2 weeks!

                                          First of all, the name of the project has changed, but the objectives remains more than ever intact:

                                          Anbox- Halium is now called WayDroid, this is to avoid confusion with the "old Anbox" service.
                                          It is a compression of the words "Wayland" and "Android", the system allowing to run a LineageOS container on an Android base in the Wayland environment.
                                          The new naming was chosen via a large community survey.

                                          Also, a few technical improvements have been achieved:

                                          • Make sure anbox-sensord is started anyway
                                          • Use iptables-legacy incase it found
                                          • Provide powervr GPU dependencies

                                          Erfan, helped by a few developers, is continuing to improve the main server.

                                          We are all very excited to test this service. For the more adventurous, a Telegram group is available to guide you through the installation:
                                          https://t.me/anbox_halium

                                          The repos are hosted here:
                                          https://github.com/Anbox-halium

                                          For end users, it is best to wait until a successful installation program is available.
                                          It is also advisable to wait for the publication of some patches from the core team, especially in the wayland environment to avoid a risk of system instability.

                                          Nevertheless, the first feedback from alpha testers is very encouraging!

                                          We take this opportunity to thank Erfan and his contributors for his work as well as the UBports foundation for its encouragement.

                                          Thanks to help us to continuing this great project by supporting our campaign:
