so i found a small workaround, i managed to do "anbox-tool disable" restarted the phone, then ran "anbox-tool enable" and it just sort of works now. the age old saying...if it dont work, turn it on and off again haha.

Hello, one thing i would like to bring up / suggest is the addition of folders on the apps list menu, for example, id like to be able to add messaging apps into a folder and technical apps into another, the main reason why i want it though, is the fact that after installing anbox (nexus 5) i have both the ubuntu touch and android versions of the stock apps, like calculator, calendar and settings, which is getting rather annoying. any help or advice, other than ignore them, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to the ubuntu dev team none the less, loving ubuntu touch so far!
