Ya my attempt made everything unstable as well(oneplusone), only thing I noticed was you need to add "-no-xattrs" to mksquashfs to match the current android.img, also switch to "-Xbcj arm" ofc.
On one attempt I managed to disable google play services by rushing before settings crashed lol, didn't help with other apps that require google play though.
Well did you remember to
"sudo anbox-tool disable
sudo mount -o rw,remount /"
like in the script?(and reverse afterwards)
I never got opengapps to work but I think to edit the system I ended up copying the android.img to another directory, running unsquashfs on it, modifying it, resquashing it (mksquashfs) and then overwrite the original image.

I'm trying to follow a guide anbox: how to install google play store
I've edited the script to match the anbox on my ubuntu touch but I'm encountering the error "cp: cannot create directory '/home/phablet/anbox-data/rootfs/system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore': read-only file system" even after running "sudo anbox-tool disable" and "sudo mount -o rw,remount /".
Wondering how to proceed without destroying my anbox, should I change file permissions or something? Would I be able to change all the file permissions and then switch back?
Below is my modified script I'm trying to run from /home/phablet.
