i think it should be possible to define which image to load in waydroid init, only i did not find the proper channel etc.

You can download an older image, unzip it and use it
how do you do it?
I tried to go to sourceforce, download the imatge vendor & system, and replace it on my sailfish here: “/var/lib/waydroid/images” But still is not working.
Thanks!
you have to unzip the images and follow Using custom Waydroid images - Waydroid
That way, I have been able to use May '22 images.
THANKS!
I redownload the images, and now seems working, only that I saw one problem, I’ve got a popup saying trebuchet keeps stopping, and I cannot do anything to leave, force close or app info ends with the same popup again
Try to rm -rf /home/defaultuser/.local/share/waydroid . See also discussion at Waydroid quirks · Issue #1 · sailfish-on-fxtecpro1/droid-config-halium-qx1050 · GitHub
Yes, now it works! I was looking, because I saw it was permission… Now I’ve got an android inside sailfish!

One question, is there some way to share a folder between waydroid and sailfish? maybe some config in lxc?
Thanks!

Latets waydroid arm64 images work again with Sailfish. Work was recently added to support our old compositor, and that is now in the released december images. (halium 11)

I’m new to sailfish. Installed it on an XZ2 compact as per XDA thread. Added CHUM repo as per github readme. Unable to install waydroid however. Error message (in dutch)
Blockquote
Fatale fout: niets levert ‘/usr/bib/make’ nodig voor het te installeren waydroid-1.3.3+git3-1.8.1.jolla.noarch
What am I doing wrong?
I installed waydroid in the terminal with the following commands on gemini:
devel-su pkcon refresh
devel-su pkcon install waydroid-runner
however, since my device doesnt have the missing kernel modules I got an error after running:
devel-su waydroid init
I got error messages I could search online.
did you get chum from here: https://chumrpm.netlify.app/ ?
Hi jbj, yes I did get chum from that link
I think I also got errors when installing from chum the first time, but honestly cant remember what made the difference 
did you try both waydroid and waydroid runner?
maybe give it a try from the commandline as well in the hope for more precise error message.
good luck!

failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again…
well at least you got further than me. Did you have to set up ashmem and binder by yourself?
No I didn’t. I found this But that didn’t help.
I’m maybe gonna try to install wayland as explained in that post, but I’m not hopeful.
FYI, here’s what I get so far:
[defaultuser@xperiaXZ2Compact ~]$ waydroid-runner
[D] unknown:0 - Using Wayland-EGL
library “libGLESv2_adreno.so” not found
library “eglSubDriverAndroid.so” not found

The last line keeps on repeating itself, until I close waydroid-runner
I’ll keep you informed

You have to install packages from Chum - waydroid and waydroid-runner. Then install from terminal -
devel-su
zypper in waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris
cd /etc/gbinder.d
vi anbox-hybris.conf
Change aidl2 to aidl3
Save file.
waydroid init
Than reboot and start waydroid
