OTA-24 upgrade and Waydroid
-
@zubozrout According to a large wave of recent comments on this forum it seems that the latest WayDroid images no longer work with Ubuntu Touch.
Unfortunately, I don't have any device to test WayDroid on Ubuntu Touch any-more now (my Nexus 5 is not compatible), but in the meanwhile I strongly advise WayDroid users to NOT perform:
sudo waydroid upgrade
This has to be confirmed by specialists though. If this information is true I will post a comment in the installation tutorial.

@zubozrout Same here, I tried Waydroid on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and is stuck at loading screen as well, though on OTA-23 it was running without problems. Didn't try to launch it from command line, but guess that the outcome of that will be the same as yours.

I can confirm this problem. I just installed UT on an OP5T (OTA-24). Then I (2 times) installed Waydroid both via the WaydroidHelper and via the terminal. But Waydroid doesn't start.

@zubozrout
Same here. launching waydroid takes forever. Pixel 3A -
I just spoke to Rudi right now.
Can someone brave enough to test:
sudo mount -o remount,rw / sudo sed -i '/aidl/s/2/3/' /etc/gbinder.d/anbox.conf
Then reboot the device and test WayDroid again.

@stanwood I haven't tried it like that but got inspired on Reddit (which basically was aidl2 to aidl3 change) approx. a month+ ago when it first happened to me after a Lineage OS 18 based image was released and it didn't work for me. But I got suggested the same on GitHub: https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/583 ... Nonetheless I would be interested to know if it works for someone as right now I don't have a place to safely test this.

@stanwood Thanks for your efforts! It seems to work.

Thanks @stanwood for the fix, it worked!

Ok, I can confirm too. Not sure why I was unlucky when I tried a few weeks ago. Thank you @stanwood

@stanwood yes, it works! Thank you
