WayDroid on SFOS?

Looks like you messed something up :slight_smile:
I would reflash and install from fresh. Typically, starting from fresh:

  • enable developer mode and set root password
  • install Chum GUI
  • from Chum GUI, install: Waydroid, Waydroid Settings and Waydroid Gbinder Config Hybris (uncheck “show only packages” from Chum GUI pulley menu)
  • run Terminal, and execute commands:
devel-su
systemctl disable dnsmasq
systemctl stop dnsmasq
vi /etc/gbinder.d/anbox-hybris.conf

(press I (upper i), change all aidl2 to aidl3, press Esc, press “:” and “w” and “q”, press Enter)

waydroid init

(this will download images)

systemctl enable waydroid-container
systemctl start waydroid-container

Open Settings, go to Waydroid and click on “Start”. Wait few seconds, go to apps grid, and run “Waydroid”. Hopefully Waydroid should start.

If you don’t want / cannot reflash device, then you can try removing everything Waydroid related and following above steps (excluding developer mode and Chum GUI installation, I assume).

In Terminal:

devel-su
systemctl disable --now waydroid-container
pkcon refresh
pkcon install zypper
zypper ref
zypper rm waydroid waydroid-settings waydroid-runner waydroid-sensors waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris waydroid-gbinder-config-mainline

(confirm, by pressing Y)

rm -r /home/waydroid /opt/waydroid /usr/share/waydroid /home/defaultuser/.local/share/waydroid /root/.local/share/waydroid /usr/share/waydroid-extra /var/lib/waydroid /home/defaultuser/.local/share/applications/waydroid*

(it will throw some errors about non-existent directories, ignore them)

Reboot phone.
And proceed with the first steps in this post (ignoring Chum GUI and developer mode installation, as you should have them installed already).

I can confirm following works on my F(x)tec Pro1.
And important - if you want to use Waydroid, you need to stop Android App Support / AlienDalvik, it can’t be active while using Waydroid. I would completely remove it if you want to use Waydroid.
