Freeze in 10s and catch in loop reboot UT

Hello dear,

I was installed today Whatsapp and F-Droid apk's, and when I launch the Whatsapp app the Ubuntu Touch system can not stay stable and freezes in 10s, after it restarts... getting the eternal loop.

my device is Xiaomi redmi note 7. I can not uninstall WhatsApp, how I can launch all android system below anbox?

thanks in advance

Anbox is in an early experimental state you cannot expect too much from this feature.
It might be of help in case a dedicated app is absolutely necessary for you but I personally don't recommend to rely on it.

I don't know if your phone uses an halium 9 port, but if it is the case then you might want to look at this thread:

Anbox is broken for halium9 devices, and that is probably the behavior you're noticing...

@applee Ok I can uninstall the Whatsapp app, and he stopped the loop, but my question is, I can enter in android space? like "anbox container launch" because a would update drivers of the android

Sorry I don't understand your question.
What is it you want to do:
1- Update the firmware for accessing the hardware components ?
2- Update the "android's firmware" used by anbox (that would be updating anbox) ?
3- Something I completely overlooked ?

I'm not the best person to answer about anbox as I don't use it. My bank allow me to use an alternate method to their app and I learned to move out from widely used social medias...

@applee Sorry I'm not clear about this, I would like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mDiOrrFCgU action at 01:07s of video,

he switched completely to android side, and I don't found his file ./run-container.sh probably the source has updated and changing/removing this method...

Thanks in advance

No problem I know that's not something easy to explain and even more if english is not your native language.

So yeah this is the "new anbox" for halium9
This has not been officially released yet.
To find more information on how to install I think you can check my previous link and read the thread for more context.

But if I remember correctly they advise to join a telegram group in order to get better instructions on how to test this new version of anbox. Other instructions can be found on their git repository (sill if I remember correctly).
