@bogotrax another output. I hope this helps even though i am not sure it is suppose to look like this. I expected a clearer firmware description.

@cliffcoggin i have non installed. Is there a browser inherent one?

@kugiigi ok thanks for the info!

@kugiigi simply nothing is happening when you click on 'add comment' or 'add answer' also with the fork that was suggested. Is there any chance that another browser with another engine exist?

Hey,
I know it is a rather specific problem but i can't post anything on askubuntu. Using the waydroid browser from the same device, and everything works. Is there an alternative browser with a different 'engine' i can use on UT? I am a bit confused by that problem.
Thanks!

This is what i get as a result from the terminal when trying to get infos about bluetooth. Can you check if it has the same stats as yours?!

@nauvpp hello nauvpp, i followed your advice and used fastboot flash bluetooth_a bluetooth.img on my mi a2 , but it was not effective. I used the latest firmware from firmwareupdater site for xiaomi devices V11.0.28.0.QDIMIXIM . i extracted the bluetooth image and flashed it with the img. Can you confirm that these are the steps to take? Is there anything you did differently? Thanks in advance! Is there a way to read out the firmware version for bluetooth of my device somehow?

@messayisto shouko just sold his phone so i guess either somebody else will take over or he does support with the help of active testers. But you can contact him directly, if you want to know more. I can't speak for him: t.me/shoukolab

@bogotrax
Since Shouko doesn't maintain this device from march on anymore it will hardly make any news, but i found out that bluetooth simply "doesn't like" when the cellular data is on. It only works when wifi is on and it needs a reboot after that. It is very annoying since waydroid" doesn't like" wifi which makes it impossible to for example listen to music when you are on your way with the mi a2. Anybody experiencing same or similar issues and searched for a solution already? My skills are limited but i like to learn about more terminal commands if that helps in my issue. Having cellular data on and no wifi, simply doesn't let the device find any other bluetooth devices. Rfkill shows no blocks and the bluetooth service is enabled. So there shouldn't be a reason that it doesn't work. Any other ideas on debugging the issue?

@messayisto thanks for the suggestion

@markus66 have the same problem regarding offline charging. Simply doesn't work. Would like to address that. Where or how do I contact the maintainer?

@bogotrax

basically what i did is

sudo -s
mount -o rw,remount / && apt update && apt install waydroid && waydroid init

And then

sudo waydroid container start 

And followed by

sudo waydroid session start

Both give a lot of information that look like errors. I am not able to debug this. I came to the conclusion that the waydroid helper needs just endlessly long time till it installs waydroid and then suprised me with a reboot and a working lineage after all my manually installing of waydroid.

Sorry i can't reproduce the process.

@lakotaubp had the same issue and had to reinstall my device, i would change bluetooth support to "working but with issues" since having to reinstall is an issue. Seeing how many people struggle with bluetooth on their mi 2 i think it would be justified. I also tried with service restart in terminal and it didn't work.

@keneda good to know thanks

@bogotrax ok guys, it worked through apt install + waydroid init and container start. Didn't do it through libertine, so no clue if this is an appropriate approach. But even wifi works on android so it is something. Thanks guys for support!

@mschmids Hello, thanks for your support! I really appreciate it. Reinstalling sadly also didn't do it. I would install through terminal if sb could point me to a tutorial on it. Again thanks for your input!

@mschmids ok waydroid icon crashes and every android icon crashes both with cellular and wifi. Sadly. Can anybody post the install over the terminal or adb. Maybe i have more luck that way. It also says xdg session not wayland when i try starting waydroid from terminal. Any idea what that means?

@mschmids I tried fron the UT drawer. How do you enter the lineage desktop?

@mschmids i can't get waydroid apps to work on my mi a2 - the browser e.g. just crashes and i can't access any of the other (lineage) apps. I used the waydroid helper. How do i apt waydroid? Or is there a workaround?
