      I have tried both installing Waydroid manually, and trying to run Waydroid with the init:

      $ sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS
      

      I thought Waydroid Helper might help with getting the Play store installed, but nothing seems available. (I am aware of the need to certify with Google afterwards) Unfortunately, I only seem to get the vanilla version without Google Play Store, so I will try to ask my questions in reference to that:

      Will location services in Waydroid work for a parking app? I tried it with Organic Maps and didn't have any luck...

      Streaming music with the Deezer app in Waydroid - will streaming continue after the screen locks? The native UT app (UTeezer) just stops.

      If it is possible to get the Google Play Store installed, will authentication and banking apps work in Waydroid?

      Trying to figure out if it will pay to try to get the Play Store working, as some of these app are pretty hit and miss without. Thanks.

        @globetrotterdk said in New UT on Pixel 3a user.:

        Sorry, I won't be of many help.
        First I do not use Waydroid so I have no personal experience with it.
        But I read reports of banking apps being hit and miss as you also reported.

        I'm not sure the play store could be helpful or not.

        Sorry, not a straight answer, it will depend on specific apps and use cases.

          I tried jumping through hoops, but the best that I could get out of the parking app that I need was to manually place location, which would probably not be precise enough to avoid a parking ticket. The banking app refuses to work without Google’s PlayStore, which doesn’t appear to be available on the UT version of Waydroid.

          One of the weirder experiences was when trying to install the NDR SH app from the Aurora store, I got an error message saying that installing wasn’t possible as I hadn’t paid for the app - which is free of charge.

          The end result is that I have deleted Waydroid again.

              I see it now that you point it out… way too easy to overlook. I am giving it a try as I write. Thank you.

                @saveurlinux If the commands are the same as in desktop Wayroid, I am experiencing some problems. If Waydroid isn’t running and I use

                $ sudo waydroid shell
                

                I get the message that the Waydroid container is stopped. If Waydroid is running, I get

                Permission denied - Failed to rexec as memfd 
                free():  invalid pointer.
                

                I see that I should be able to use something like

                $ sudo waydroid session start
                

                I get

                I hope posting the log here is OK:

                  (After complete uninstall and app data wipe with Waydroid Helper)
                  OK, I have gotten smart this time and run the commands through adb shell to see what is going on - much easier:

                  $ adb shell
                  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS
                  [sudo] password for phablet:

                  So is the container running or stopped? The system appears to be confused...

                        @globetrotterdk I have same phone as you and waydroid install throw WayDroid Helper. It works fine on my phone, except banking apps.
                        Trying to launch throw the command line

                        sudo waydroid session start
                        

                        raise the same error as you,
                        but launching it throw the WayDroid Helper works

                          @saveurlinux I think, you should try to launch it with sudo but as:

                          waydroid session start
                          

                          and in an other tab launch

                          waydroid show-full-ui
                          

                          other command line are available look at

                          waydroid help

                            Looks to me like a DBus issue, but I will take a look at waydroid help tomorrow and see if I can get something out of that. At this point, not holding out much hope however, as my experience is that when you cut out the gui and just using the cli, there is a better chance of understanding what is going on. While the errors are fairly verbose, the result isn't ringing any bells.

                                @saveurlinux The Waydroid icon appears, but no active window, and when I try to swipe from the right, the system tells me that there are no apps running.

                                  @globetrotterdk maybe that's because you are doing it from adb and WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not available ? Try to do it from the phone terminal

                                  When the command

                                  waydroid session start
                                  

                                  succeed , you can open a new tab into the terminal phone app and then do this next one:

                                  waydroid show-full-ui

                                      @globetrotterdk The last line says it is ready, maybe it doesn't go any further until you follow with what @saveurlinux suggests?

                                        @arubislander Cool. That works. I was able to go in and get the Waydroid instance certified (through the adb shell) by following the Waydroid instructions and getting the android id.

                                        Unfortunately, after using Wayroid stop and rebooting the phone, the system freezes at the Google splash screen.

                                        A restart is possible, and I am able to get into Waydroid again by using the app tray.
