WayDroid on Ubuntu Touch

the Android 16 based images can be tested with something like this on latest 24.04-2.x (or 26.04-1.x) daily at the moment: sudo su mount -o remount,rw / mkdir -p /etc/waydroid-extra mount -o remount,ro / mount --bind /var/lib/waydroid /etc/waydroid-extra wget https://volla.tech/filedump/waydroid-16/waydroid_arm64_only-system-20260908.zip -O /tmp/s.zip wget https://volla.tech/filedump/waydroid-16/waydroid_arm64_only-vendor-20260908.zip -O /tmp/v.zip mkdir -p /var/lib/waydroid/images unzip /tmp/s.zip -d /var/lib/waydroid/images && rm /tmp/s.zip unzip /tmp/v.zip -d /var/lib/waydroid/images && rm /tmp/v.zip waydroid init -f sed -i 's:/etc/waydroid-extra/images:/var/lib/waydroid/images:' /var/lib/waydroid/waydroid.cfg

hi, on fp5 (24.04-2 daily) when i launch waydroid, i am spammed on UT notifications. just like i have android notification on UT natively. I suspect it comes from UBconnect on UT (openstore) + kdeconnect (fdroid) on waydroid (could not find option to disable notifications for this 'device' to confirm its that).

you'd have to check the kdeconnect app on waydroid

Yep, i just disabled from kdeconnect, i don't know why i only checked on ubconnect Thanks you !!

no worries 👍

you need at minimum 24.04-2.x, 1.x won't cut it. clear updates list with the bin icon if already up-to-date otherwise and you should get the option to switch over also after tomorrow the ubports-qa also won't be needed as the MR was merged and should be part of next rootfs

hey, thanks for testing on Volla Plinius! I really don't have time right now to mess with this, I'm developing an app for UT and I'm dedicating 100% of my free time to it. But please keep this chat posted if there's any update about waydroid on Volla Plinius. Thanks everyone for your hard work!

the already listed steps will be integraded into Waydroid Helper, probably also with a message about adding the "Waydroid stop" app afterward from the main menu as it keeps running in the background even after closing without a way to bring the UI back again until it's stopped

This should work on any A13+ device, right?

tbf the images working don't matter for the PR, and I can fake the condition to test it, just realized I don't have any working H14+ devices

one-letter typo, lgtm otherwise

ubuntu touch mentioned :D https://youtu.be/2G44ZTTamuA

Nice. I had the video in my queue already.watching now. the channel Linux Experiment has been using UT as daily driver and talking about it lately
