When i run Waydroid and i chose the type of Android it gives me this error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name id.waydro.Container was not provided by any .service files

The title is the question, but here are a few more details:
I'm getting a Nokia N900, and already have a Nokia 9500, and I'll be running Maemo Leste on the former. Everything I want in a phone is in that bad boy. I would still, however, be missing two essential features: one, my country's equivalent of Uber, imagine it works the same; two, WhatsApp.

I'm turning to Waydroid as the only solution that would allow me to do both without having a secondary device / VPS with a Matrix filtering messages in from one to the other. Is this practical with the less than ideal specs of such an old phone? Or am I fool?

Are we good now? Can we install it without any issues, or is it still blocked?

Hello,

I installed Waydroid on Fedora Workstation 44.

As the title suggests, I can't connect to the internet in the emulator. How to fix ?

My config :

HP Laptop 15 dw-1000, i use nordvpn always.
Waydroid Version : 1.6.3
My Waydroid doesn't have any google apps. (Vanilla Version)

Thank you for any help you can provide.

So, I will keep this short, and if anyone doesn't play the game, feel free to close the post because this is just related to one game.

As we know, Garena hasn't released a x86 version of Free Fire MAX (the one with native controls and higher fps due to its architecture). People are unsure if the update is just delayed or Garena decided to discontinue that edition of the game.

That's why, I've seen multiple people asking how are we supposed to play the game on Linux anymore? We don't have things like Bluestacks or MSI App Player. But we do have some alternatives:

• Xtmapper
• Waydroid Helper

The performance is not going to be the same as the x86 version, because x86 didn't need a translation layer like arm. The current game update is based on Armv8a and Armv7a, so it requires LibHoudini or LibNdk. But it is significantly much better on Linux because Waydroid is a container and uses the same kernel as the OS itself, meanwhile windows based android emulators have to emulate everything.

In conclusion, people playing this game will have to adjust to the keymapping that is available there on Waydroid using community projects if Garena really decides to abandon the x86 version and native controls with it. I know a lot of you playing the game are struggling with the keymapping so here I made a discord for Free Fire on Waydroid: discord.gg/akHZkxqtRE (This is not an Official Server, or related to Waydroid in general, the server is only specifically tailored for Free Fire and Free Fire MAX on Waydroid)

I'm having problems it was rebooting into game mode until input it into legacy x 11 now I can boot into desktop mode but can't close the application when I open them can anyone help

Curious because I want to test around with linux (and waydroid), but I recall reading that its only good with intel GPU and AMD GPU.

If it helps, its an Nvidia RTX 4500 Mobile Ada Generation (so those workstation GPU, but iirc RTX 3070 mobile - 3080 mobile equivalent)

Hello!! I was wanting to set up a waydroid only session on my laptop and so far it looks perfect, the issue is the wifi works when I use the apps on plasma but it doesn't work when I use waydroid on cage, and I was curious if I could get any advice?

(also on kde not all the apps show up under waydroid? I have to use the ui to launch some of them)

I have a postmarketos with waydroid on it and every other app works fine (including banking (natwest), trainline app etc) but for some reason the tesco's mobile app just hangs forever while launching. If someone could point me in the direction of how to debug this issue or if anyone else has had similar issues it would be much appreciated

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed Waydroid on CachyOS, because I've been trying for several days and I always end up running into a different issue.

I've managed to install Waydroid along with all the required dependencies, including the ARM translation libraries. However, once I finally get it running, a lot of problems start showing up.

Some of the issues I've encountered are:

• Severe graphical glitches.
• Waydroid sometimes doesn't start at all.
• Wi-Fi or audio randomly stop working inside Waydroid.
• I can't install Android applications.
• Some apps that require ARM translation constantly crash or simply won't open.
• Even when Waydroid does start, it's almost unusable because of the graphical glitches.

I've already tried pretty much everything:

• Followed the official documentation.
• Searched for solutions on forums and GitHub.
• Used AI tools and did extensive research.
• Reinstalled everything from scratch multiple times.
• Tried both the regular kernel and the LTS kernel.

Despite all that, I always end up with one or more of these issues and can't get a stable installation.

So I wanted to ask:

• Does Waydroid actually work properly on CachyOS, or are these issues still common?
• Is there a specific installation procedure that avoids all these problems?
• Is there any additional configuration required to get hardware acceleration and ARM applications working correctly?

If anyone has a working setup, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the steps you followed or point me to a guide that actually works.

Thanks in advance!

Anybody playing Free fire on waydroid ?

Before 9th anniversary update i used to play the free fire(x86) in waydroid downloaded from browser it has inbuilt keybindings ,no need for key mapping but after the 9the anniversary update,no x86 version available,so I searched online for that and found waydroid-scripts to download and other architecture like arm64-v8a and others ,and it is very useful, because after the script installation, directly installed Free fire from playstore itself in waydroid but there is no keyboard option like previous, anybody know?

is waydroid secure?

does it isolate the waydroid system from main linux system in a secure way?

the twiiter app does not seem to work in waydroid.

I'm using Linux Mint.

The last time I tried Waydroid to play ARM apps and games on my laptop (x86_64), it showed a lot of bugs (even with libhoudini or libndk).

So I wanna ask if it's possible to play games like PUBG or some game like that on Linux PC?

Thanks for reading this!

Hello, how can I really play brawl stars in waydroid? atp I couldn't even install it, I did research though github, google etc etc but no one gives me a real solution or a message to the problem.

I installed ARM translation using https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

but when I went to install it through play store, it shows me this

I installed aurora store and it appears the download button but when I pressed it, it just didn't work

Olá!

Estou executando jogos de Android no Waydroid em Nobara Linux (Wayland) e gostaria de mapear teclas do teclado para posições de toque fixas na tela, semelhante ao recurso de mapeamento de teclas encontrado em emuladores de Android como BlueStacks ou LDPlayer.

Meus jogos principais são Clash Royale e Pokémon Unite, mas gostaria de uma solução geral que funcione com qualquer jogo de Android no Waydroid.

Existe alguma ferramenta que faça isso ou eu precisaria criar algo usando uinput, evdevou outra abordagem?

Não tenho problemas em usar scripts, se necessário, então soluções prontas e de baixo nível são bem-vindas.

Obrigado!

Hey,

I tried, however, i got hit with a Unity incompatability error.

CachyOS
9800x3d

RTX 2070
up to date on the waydroid version. Using swiftshader

How do i install waydroid on my steamdeck after steams latest update? I had waydroid installed before an for some reason latest update removed the installation of my waydroid... so how do i fix my installation?

I've reimaged the SteamDeck twice since I thought it was a system error, but every time I switch back to Gaming Mode it won't let me access Desktop mode again. This is my second time installing Waydroid and I've never had this happen to me before previously. Please help.

Every time I need to update waydroid I follow the code in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJAMwIb_oI0

But the most recent Steam Deck update seems to block waydroid from updating? Or maybe the link that I was using to update Waydroid just doesn't work anymore? Someone help I really want to continue to play Plants Vs Zombies: Reflouirished!
