UNSOLVED Anbox: device offline

RapidRotator

Since Waydroid is not (easily) available for my OnePlus 3, I installed Anbox using the instructions at https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html#run-anbox-installer.

However, when I try to install an app using adb install, it sits waiting for devices, and then times out.

adb devices on my phone responds with:

List of devices attached
emulator-5558   offline

I tried adb start-server but I can't seem to get it running. Also, when I start one of the default apps, all I get is a black screen.

What do I do to start the adb server?

@rapidrotator Hi again
What is the result of # anbox-tool status ?

RapidRotator

@luksus

Kernel: OK
System: OK
Enabled: YES
Running: YES

Now I'm confused.

Luksus

@rapidrotator hmmmm...
Perhaps try to reinstall anbox with anbox-tool? Or did you install it just now?
Did you reboot in between?

RapidRotator

@luksus I installed it an hour ago, and did a reboot, yes.

Luksus

@rapidrotator hm no idea then...
Perhaps try to watch the different options of anbox-tool with # anbox-tool --help .
Perhaps anbox-tool disable and after it anbox-tool enable.
Or maybe adb is deactivated, but you still are able to install apps using anbox-tool app-install?

RapidRotator

@luksus Yes, using sudo I van install F-Droid.apk but it doesn't show up in the drawer.

Phone : OnePlus One

I have recetly installed Anbox on my phone while waiting for Waydroid to mature more. Hopefully its easy to switch over when it comes times.

In doing so, one thing i have noticed is what OP os talking about. Usually what i have to do is run

adb kill-server

Reboot the phone and then try

adb devices

and that should show your device with it being online
