Waydroid

Installing and configuring

Waydroid is available in the Community repository. If you have enabled this repository you can install it by using this command:

1

$ sudo luet install apps/waydroid-vanilla

OR

1

$ sudo luet install apps/waydroid-gapps

Enable and start the waydroid systemd service

1

$ sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container.service

initialize for vanilla:

1

$ sudo waydroid init

or for android with Gapps do:

1

$sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS

AppArmor (optional)

Waydroid can use AppArmor to sandbox Android processes, but it is not a hard requirement. Since it is installed as a dpendency of lxc, you might as well enable it.

Enable the apparmor service:

1

systemctl enable --now apparmor.service snapd.apparmor.service

Enable required boot parameters. Edit /etc/default/grub and append apparmor=1 security=apparmor parameters.

1

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="apparmor=1 security=apparmor"

After editing this file, regenerate the grub config file:

1

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/crug.cfg

Now restart the system.
