yes, GS5
I have deleted everything…
Thank you very much!
If I recall correctly, I had the same or a similar problem. Check your platform-tools / fastboot version. I have fastboot version 33.0.3-8952118 installed myself while my package mananger has installed fastboot version 34.0.4-android-tools.
Might be a bug in the more recent version.
Good luck

was already weighing that probability.
I think that’s the problem…
thank you very much
Hello,
I am trying to install waydroid by following GitHub - sailfishos-open/waydroid: Waydroid packaging for Sailfish OS but I have not been able to get it to work.
Is it possible to get it working?
I install the packages following another thread where they indicate to do it through Chum.
@jmdlpino I can provide what I did successfully on my Volla:
You have to install packages from Chum - waydroid and waydroid-runner.
Then install from terminal -
$ devel-su
# zypper in waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris
Then as devel-su:
# vi /etc/gbinder.d/anbox-hybris.conf
Change aidl2 to aidl3, (appears 4 times in the file)
Save file.
# waydroid init
edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf to uncomment the following line (Volla, 4.4.0.72: line 124):
#bind-interfaces
# vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf
systemctl disable --now dnsmasq
Then reboot and start waydroid
Many thanks to @Sheigorath , who gaves me this hint long time ago.
And: NEVER update Waydroid if it reports an available OTA update. This may work a few times, but sooner or later it will break the system and even if it works it brings nothing.

Exactly, stick with a working image

Sorry,
I had high hopes with your instructions, because I was missing the step of modifying the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file.
I thought the problem was there.
But when I run it, it stays on the “Starting Android session/Waiting for Android UI” screen.
I have to clarify that I’m running SailfishOS from Boot Manager…
Thank you very much for your help.
When i had your issue, i had to use an older image. If you search my posts, you might find the description. Usually i do note evrything down.
The thing is: based on installation time you might endup with different image, some work, some not. At least my experience

I am using 4.4.0.72
you mean using older versions?
Thank you.
no
Older version of waydroid image or better the image of os running in waydroid i think it is.
if you would read my posts, you would see that i do init waydroid with an specified image version not with default.
if you run just waydroid init it will take some current vanilla android version i think.
i did download an older, working version and told waydroid to init with that.
i would suggest that you comment on my posts in the other thread, cause that i do not need to jump between them, might be easier for us

so while this post wont help you, it shows that i actually did download the image separately and then did waydroid init with the option to specify the path to downloaded image
problem is: i did switch my laptop and doubt to more details available on the topic.
but if you would check waydroid init options you could start from there, same as i did
ok i did find two download adresses:
https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/waydroid/images/vendor/waydroid_arm64/lineage-17.1-20220514-HALIUM_10-waydroid_arm64-vendor.zip?viasf=1
i assume this is it, my working images … that’s all i can do for you
hope that helps
