Waydroid

!!!success GPU Requirements

Waydroid currently works best with Intel GPUs. They should work out of the box.

AMD GPUs appear to have mixed results (in particular, the RX 6800 does not work); if Waydroid does not work you might also want to try the NVIDIA instructions below.

NVIDIA GPUs do not work currently, but there are 2 workarounds:

Switch to integrated graphic card if possible;
Use software rendering:
- Make sure that you have already run waydroid init (see #Installation section)
- Edit /var/lib/waydroid/waydroid_base.prop and set:
```
ro.hardware.gralloc=default
ro.hardware.egl=swiftshader
```
- Restart the waydroid-container.service. !!!

Fedora 36

!!!danger Kernels 5.18.18 to 5.19.5 are broken. !!!

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 1"] Add the Copr repository

sudo dnf copr enable aleasto/waydroid

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 2"] Install waydroid

sudo dnf install waydroid

When launching waydroid from the application menu you'll be asked to initialize waydroid with some android images. Use the following links:

System OTA: https://ota.waydro.id/system

Vendor OTA: https://ota.waydro.id/vendor

!!!warning This will download non-free components (ffmpeg, possibly others). !!!

Ubuntu 22.04

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 1"] Install Pre-requisites

sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 2"] The Repo

Add the repo to your sources.list (for droidian & ubports, this step can be skipped) Replace DISTRO="jammy" with your current target. Options: focal, jammy, ubuntu-devel, bookworm, bullseye, sid

export DISTRO="jammy"

sudo curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -Sf https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg --output /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" > ~/waydroid.list && \
sudo mv ~/waydroid.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list && \
sudo apt update

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 3"] Install Waydroid

sudo apt install waydroid -y

Then start Waydroid from the applications menu.

Install and Run Android Applications

Waydroid is able to perform a few various operations found by using the waydroid app -h command:

usage: waydroid app [-h] {install,remove,launch,list} ...

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

subaction:
  {install,remove,launch,list}
    install             push a single package to the container and install it
    remove              remove single app package from the container
    launch              start single application
    list                list installed applications

To launch an app ising CLI, you would want to use the waydroid app launch command:

waydroid app launch xyz.apk

You can also install Android applications from the command line.

waydroid app install xyz.apk

The apk files you will sometimes find on the internet tend to only have arm support, and will therefore not work on x86_64.

You may want to install F-Droid to get applications graphically. Note that the Google Play Store will not work as is, because it relies on the proprietary Google Play Services, which are not installed.

Waydroid Prop Options

Waydroid uses various properties in order to tell the underlying Android system how to behave in a few places. To do this, we use the waydroid prop command. To unset a prop, waydroid prop set <property> ""

Properties

waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.multi_windows true/false (bool) Enables/Disables persistent freeform window mode
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.invert_colors true/false (bool) Swaps the color space from RGBA to BGRA (only works with our patched mutter so far)
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.height_padding 0-9999 (int) Adjust Height padding (30 will allow you to use navbar on mobile)
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.width_padding 0-9999 (int) Adjust width padding
waydroid prop set waydroid.display_width 0-9999 (int) (auto-generated) Auto generated size of Waydroid screen
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.width 0-9999 (int) Used for user to override desired resolution
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.suspend true/false (bool) Keep Waydroid awake and do not let container sleep

Setting up a shared folder

Setting up a shared folders to copy files from source to target.

!!!dark Source files will be accessible from Target but not Editable. !!!

sudo mount --bind <source> <target>

!!!dark We will setup the host folder to copy files from the host, and the droid folder to copy files from waydroid. !!!

Example:

Copy files from Linux to Waydroid:
- on Waydroid Create a /Waydroid/host folder
- on Host Create a ~/Waydroid/host folder

mkdir ~/Waydroid/host

- Bind Linux folder to the Android one

sudo mount --bind ~/Waydroid/host ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Waydroid/host

Copy files from Waydroid to Linux :
- on Waydroid Create a /Waydroid/droid folder
- on Host Create a ~/Waydroid/droid folder

mkdir ~/Waydroid/droid

- Bind Linux folder to the Android one

sudo mount --bind ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Waydroid/droid ~/Waydroid/droid

Clipboard

!!!dark Replace dnf with the appropriate command for your distro. !!!

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 1"] Install pip

sudo dnf install pip

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 2"] install wl-clipboard

sudo dnf install wl-clipboard

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 3"] install pyclip

pip install --upgrade pip pyclip

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 4"] add $HOME/.local/bin/ to your $PATH

add

export PATH="$PATH:$(du "$HOME/.local/bin/" | cut -f2 | tr '\n' ':' | sed 's/:*$//')"

to the appropriate file .zshenv or .bashrc or .profile

[!badge variant="light" text="Step 5"] reboot the system
