Think so. Takes a minute for waydroid to load after starting session.
Does the full waydroid UI work properly?
Also, you cannot open the same app consecutively after closing it, there won’t be any UI but only a spinner if you tried. Either open some other waydroid app or you have to execute the command “waydroid prop set waydroid.active_apps none” and give it a few seconds before opening the same app again to get UI.
Clicking the waydroid app icons execute a command similar to “waydroid app launch com.android.settings”. You could try running it from terminal and check if app opens. This one opens waydroid settings. Waydroid session have to be running when you try it.
I read the whole thread but as I’m not a pro in compiling and dealing with scripts, may I ask if there is a newbee-friendly guide for installing waydroid on my sailfish phone? I love sailfish os, but I just need some Android apps as well. Since there is no aliendalvik upgrade for Xperia X, WayDroid seems to be a good Replacement.
So maybe you can help me… What exactly do I have to do to installwayDroid and get it running (idiot-friendly^^)?
If I ubderstand it right from previous discussions, Waydroid may not work by default on Xperia X unfortunately.
Nevertheless, the easiest way would be to install Chum GUI and install Waydroid and Waydroid Runner from there.
You would still need to run a command from terminal for waydroid initialisation before you could run it. This step downloads and sets up Waydroid image files. That would be “devel-su waydroid init”.
I don’t know if I should make a new thread or not. I explain:
I installed waydroid(-runner) on an XA2 DUAL following the github page.
Installation went good. Small a difference with the github readme: reboot was needed before being able to waydroid init.
Question: when I try to start it from the app grid, it spins forever (tried 5 minutes) saying it is starting but does not start.
Also, the browser seems not to find the internet connection any more since WD installation.
I was about to restore a backup of my system as I have no idea of where to search to solve this browser issue.
But maybe will it be an evidence for one of you.
Hi,
Well I didn’t succeed fully. Container and session start, but not the UI part.
I reflashed, reinstalled storeman + chum, waydroid and waydroid-settings, downloaded with waydroid,init. I set it to start at boot.
When I launch WD from the app grid, it spins for a while (cover) and disappears.

waydroid app launch com.android.settings gives:
[00:01:25] Failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again…
I didn’t touch dnsmasq as container starts. (But uncommenting #bind-interfaces in /etc/dnsmasq.conf + rebooting didn’t solve either)
EDIT: I apologize. Realized that the “hide details” is not working in the Forum reader app, making a huge horrible list.
So I moved the output of waydroid logcathere.
Hmm, it says repeatedly Failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again...
Although container + session are said running,
If I do
'# waydroid container start
as root, and then in another term as user, I do
$ waydroid show-full-ui
The output is
[06:43:12] Starting waydroid session
[06:43:12] XDG Session is not “wayland”
[06:43:14] Failed to start Clipboard manager service, check logs
Not the first time I see this complain about “wayland”…
Then, waydroid log, as user, outputs (rm’ed dup. lines):
EDIT: I apologize. Realized that the “hide details” is not working in the Forum reader app, making a huge horrible list.
So I moved the output of the log here.
/EDIT
I have been searching about this Failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again... on the net. They talk about something related to sensors but I don’t figure out the whole mechanics enough to imagine the way to go.
Looks to me that a service isn’t starting in the logcat, audioflinger? Do you happen to use Matrix or Telegram. If yes, might be worth joining the waydroid channel and asking there.
