Update to focal - consequences for Waydroid

ma

Hi, I have a few questions about the update to focal:

What happens to Waydroid (and apps installed there like a messenger) when you switch to focal? Do I need to reinstall Waydroid and the apps?
Is it correct that an update to focal must be done with the installer (OP5T)? Can future OTAs be installed via the device?

Thanks!

Can anybody help us with answers to these questions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Waydroid data will be retained but you may have to reinitialize it again. No need to install waydroid via apt though.
As for the 2nd question, I'm not sure if there's a plan to make it available via OTA but so far it's only via the Installer which is quite simple anyway.

@ma Waydroid for me kept its configuration (apps installed and so on) after the upgrade to 20.04. You have just to "init" it again, no need to reinstall it.

Thank you all for your answers, this was the thing that I was waiting for in order to switch to focal

BTW, just to clarify, I remembered you can also upgrade to focal without using the installer. You just have to switch to the focal channel and install the OTA on the device itself.
