Waydroid on OTA-2
-
After upgrading to OTA-2 on my Fairphone3+, Waydroid stopped working. I uninstalled using Waydroid helper, and even uninstalled Waydroid helper itselves and rebooted. Then after reinstalling Waydroid helper, the install process is stuck with the message "Preparing to download system image".
Any idéas on how to proceed ? -
@Kjetil Try it from command line in terminal.
sudo waydroid upgrade
sudo waydroid init- last command will say it is already initialized...
Then reboot. Somehow mine started working...

@mihael Thank you for response !
Unfortunately, my waidroid was uninstalled, and I could no loger install it with "Waydroid helper". I then did:
sudo mount -o remount,rw / sudo apt install waydroidand finally your last step:
sudo waydroid initand reboot.
It works ! -
@Kjetil Beautiful!

After trying to reinstate Waydroid after OTA-2 I hit a problem with the waydroid-extra folder not existing.
This was solved by running:
>sudo su
#mount -o bind /userdata/system-data/etc/waydroid-extra /etc/waydroid-extra/I can then launch waydroid.
My problem now is that the mounted folder is unmounted when the session ends, but I dont t recall doing anything when originally setting up Waydroid to make this permanent.
Can anyone explain how to permanently bind the folder?

@treebeard I did some more digging andth I believe I need to add an entry to /etc/fstab
I'm struggling to save the changes to the fstab file. Im using seabass2 to edt the file and have tried several things inclding sudo su,and making the filesystem 'rw'
Im not sure how to launch seabass directly in sudo mode. I tried 'sudo seabass2' and 'sudo seabass'.
So my question is how can i edit and save changes to fstab?

@treebeard on UT changes to fstab are not persistent. In the latest OTA's waydroid and all dependencies.should already be installed and just need initializing. Maybe contact the porter of your device for more information.
