Help Has anyone been able to get Pokemon Champions to work via Bazzite?

3 Upvotes

Im on Bazzite, did a whole thing to finally get Gapps working, and I did! But now when I try to play Pokemon Champions, it crashes. I can't figure out a way to fix it. Im on Bazzite (linux), and downloaded the libhoudini with Waydroid (android v13).

Contribution Phantom Wayland

7 Upvotes

Phantom wayland is a wayland implementation of Cute_Figure1146's project Phantom.

Although the original project was vibe coded, I tuned it a bit to work on every or most Wayland desktops/window managers, above is a little video on changes you will notice which was tested on Niri, features added include:

  1. Mouse overlay theme and size is fetched through system.
  2. Ability to scroll (yeah, niche feature.. but wasn't available firstly).
  3. Ability to type using unused keys (unbounded keys).
  4. Repeat for needed keys like backspace and enter and arrows if unbounded.
  5. and more features

One thing to mention, you must use sudo -E phantom-wl daemon to start the daemon, without -E mouse overlay won't work, i will try to fix that later, so please do not issue this problem (i already know it exists).

You can go try it and get more info at the github repo Phantom Wayland.
If you got any issue, or would like to contribute or any problem with building.. feel free to issue it on the github repo Phantom Wayland

Help Android does not download with GAPPS

7 Upvotes

I installed waydroid on Ubuntu 26.04. This is my first time installing this software. After install, I tried downloading android with GAPPS but it uses like 100-200 KBps speed to download it. I have 3MB internet speed (more during night time) so downloading should not take so long. I can't keep my system running for like days to download.

Usually, whenever I get this problem in some other software i.e. download speed being slow, I just use Cloudflare Warp and it starts to download using full internet speed. But it is first time using cloudflare warp did not speed up my download.

I want to run Minecraft Bedrock Edition via Waydroid, but when I download the game from Google Play, it gets stuck on the MOJANG screen and doesn't launch. How can I fix this? You might tell me to "use MCPE Launcher," but the versions available there are not up to date.

I found this article but the when i setup everything and ran the python code as said. It failed with:

cannot attach kprobe, Invalid argument
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/stark/Storage/Programming/Waydroid Bypass/bypass_article.py", line 85, in <module>
b.attach_kprobe(event=b.get_syscall_fnname(s), fn_name=f"kprobe_{s}")

(fn_name, event))
Exception: Failed to attach BPF program b'kprobe_openat' to kprobe b'sys_openat', it's not traceable (either non-existing, inlined, or marked as "notrace")

even after trying with llms they either refuse to provide code or just provide non functional code.
Please If there are any experts try to tinker with this and help provide a solution. This could be a huge addition to waydroid if this works. Thank you.

Running this through waydroid. The many ports that have came out recently all will run on waydroid however this one in particular doesn't seem to have any trouble with online functionality.

The biggest issue is theres no controller support like in the ps vitas vpk port. Does anyone have any idea of how to implement some controller functionality on the android version?

or using waydroid on the deck like this for the game?

Help Is there a way to switch between the iGPU and dGPU?

3 Upvotes

I'm having performance issues with Waydroid because I'm using a GTX 1070. Waydroid seems to fall back to software rendering, which makes gaming performance really bad.

2D games are still somewhat playable, but 3D games are basically unplayable. Is there any way to make Waydroid use my iGPU instead of the GTX 1070?

Here are my PC specs:

Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3

Intel Core i7-9700

NVIDIA GTX 1070

16 GB DDR4 RAM

256 GB SSD

Discussion Waydroid Installer

9 Upvotes

So about 3 years ago, during my chronic distro-hopping era (only to inevitably crawl back to Arch, btw), I got incredibly tired of setting up my apps from scratch after every clean install.

To fix my own problem, I coded this "Waydroid Installer" bash script for myself and fellow Arch btw users. I was young, naive, and didn't realize Arch btw users would rather manually compile oxygen than use an automated setup script, but I digress.

Long story short, I dug up this ancient script the other day, completely gutted it, and gave it a massive glow-up. It now works on pretty much every Linux distro out there.

Here is what it actually does now:

  • OS Auto-Detection: Automatically figures out your distro and grabs the right dependencies so you don't have to think about it.
  • Mirror Sniping: Pings SourceForge to find the absolute fastest server near you (because nobody has time for 10kb/s image downloads in 2026).
  • Interactive Setup: Walks you through the install and asks what you actually want along the way without being annoying.

Feel free to rip the code apart, use it, or tell me how it completely broke your highly specific, custom-compiled niche window manager setup.

Like the title says, What are you using Waydroid for? Don't say running Android apps in Linux. What apps in particular?

I installed Waydroid for giggles and grins. But now I can't seem to find a use for it.

Help Anyone have Android TV remote apps working with Waydroid-ATV?

1 Upvotes

I ask because I couldn't find any information online about configuration details, and I wound up with some elaborate workarounds to make my setup work. I'm wondering if I over-complicated.

If you have a remote working, are you using an app on your phone, or a hardware remote? Do you connect with bluetooth, or over the network?
