yes, sorry, I’m sleeping… 
Thanks!
Thank you all, especially @rinigus , to remind me of this being unsolved on my phone. I rarely need Android software, but I had similar problems with generating and attaching to a session as @jsingla and this always frustrated me. Using waydroid-runner as nemo or defaultuser is so much nicer!
Hello, I’m trying to get waydroid run on Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus with 4.4.0.68 (32bit) but waydroid log gives me this

Unfortunately, my xz2c already has waydroid installed and I cannot test from “zero”. However, after uninstall and reinstall I managed to get into the same state where Waydroid doesn’t start. Hard to say why. I will update your issue at SFOS/Waydroid and let’s see if @piggz has any ideas.

Thanks rinigus,
One question, there is some way to install an old version?
Thanks!
You mean of the old Android image? Probably there is, but you have to look it up yourself. Some images are at WayDroid - Browse /images at SourceForge.net . Not sure what they really use these days
I was thinking on an old package of waydroid, not the image, but if you think the problem is the image, that should be easy, righ?
I would suspect the image. But it is my guess…
hello,
I tried to download an old image, 20210928, HALIUM (and also the vendor from the same date) to check. After reboot I’ve got this error:

Thanks!
After some tinkering and looking at error messages from waydroid, I suspect my gemini is lacking ashmem and binder from the kernel.
I don’t have any experience with compiling kernel modules (I am not even sure if it is a possible alternative to get some kind of patch?)
does anyone know of a good beginner friendly explanation, to get something this moving in the right direction ?
thanks!

in github repo, they commented they are using some old version of binder, I think.

Since Waydroid’s last online update (I downloaded and installed right now), Waydroid doesn’t start any more. It hangs on ‘Starting Android session’ and shows eternally spinning circle. Did a few reboots and tried again after, but still hanging. Volla/ GS290, SFOS 4.4.0.72. What can I do? Any ideas?
I installed it recently for first time, did the init stuff, but never get past the spinning spinner of spininess either.
Just a guess: dnsmasq

Thank you all for helping, but I reflashed the Volla with Ubuntu touch and there will never again come SFOS onto the Volla. I really have to quit this for my emotional stability and this time it is consequently.
i know that this is needed after fresh install but after an update ?
I had to disable “vibrator” service after update once again in
/vendor/etc/vintf/manifest.xml
for X10II.
Last time - on the PinePhone some months ago - updating Waydroid re-enabled the dnsmasq service and overwrote the settings file.
Updates do often change/update system files and so delete changes you made before with the consequence that tweaks have to be done again.
not sure that i do understand.
i did not update sfos, i did just update waydroid and i would have hoped that the ‘app’ does not update any of its own settings
Did check binder: all set to aidl3 and hindl
should ne fine
