How to Install Waydroid on Linux Mint 21.1 Vera | Waydroid | Android in a Linux Container - A container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

Please, I would like a command file containing all the commands

I did every step jsut as described here but after executing weston, waydroid doesnt open!!! It's the second time it happens to me. I tried before on Lubuntu and waydroid has never started in my life. Why??????????????

[@kneto7671]

Check the output of weston in your terminal. I get an error: "Unknown parameter: ?2004 exited" - and then nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution for this?

[@sln7736]

same problem

[@ThatSilentGuy]

AFAIK Waydroid requires the desktop to run in Wayland instead of X11 to work properly. Since Cinnamon just started supporting Wayland recently, Linux Mint might still not work properly with Wayland and fallback to X11.

[@desmondharris6518]

worked

When i install it and try opening waydroid it does not open at all

[@भक्तो_का_पापा]

Hey bro it worked fine for me. But when I installed play store and opened it. It crashes and I install other android applications. They are not installing please help

I get an error: "Unknown parameter: ?2004 exited" in my terminal session in which I ran "weston" and then nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution for this?

It won’t open. When I try to start it from the terminal “waydroid session start” to see what’s wrong I get this error: “[gbinder] WARNING: Service manager /dev/binder has died” Anyone know how to fix it?

Still works quick and easy for cinnamon 21.3. Just know if you have your firewall enabled you may need to setup exception rules or waydroid won't have internet. The waydroid docs page has a section for networking issues, that solved it for me.

[@StormFighter08]

Thanks for the advice mate!

[@acpollazzo]

it works only on wayland... so on standard linux mint it doesn't work

[@TechSolutionz]

Yes. Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon now supports Wayland Sessions.

Waydroid can't properly initialize on Linux Mint MATE :( Mutterings about missing Wayland. I'm on 21.3 now, and yes, NVIDIA RTX GPU too.

[@Zobbster]

Brilliant tutorial, thank you - straight to the point

[@Denis-Maldonado]

If you cannot launch Waydroid inside Weston, and you have a Nvidia GPU, that's the problem. You need to add these lines below the properties section in ' var/lib/waydroid/waydroid.cfg ' (remember opening your text editor with sudo command for elevated permissions): ro.hardware.gralloc=default ro.hardware.egl=swiftshader

Help, I have a problem, I installed everything, apparently everything was ok, but although the icon is visible, when I click on it, nothing opens, in the terminal it appears as if it is running, but it does not appear anywhere, someone told me can you help? Thank you.

[@TechSolutionz]

1.Are you trying in Weston Terminal? 2. Share your " waydroid status" in comment.

[@sebastianskazinski4472]

yes, I have the same problem, tell me if you found solution ;)

[@lucasgabmoreno]

Hi! Thanks! I could start weston but when trying to launch Waydroid it says: "failed to start clipboard manager service, check logs" and doesn't launch

[@TechSolutionz]

You might need to Install pyclip...

@@TechSolutionz Thanks!

[@tusharpatel2190]

I have followed the methods correctly and weston launches but waydoid does not.Please Help

[@randomuser1170]

Inside weston terminal type "waydroid session stop" then "waydroid session start" then launch waydroid again

[@hermesvasquez170]

thanks works perfect😊😄

[@СавваБондаренко-ь2г]

Waydroid doesn't start. How I can fix this?

[@TechSolutionz]

check your waydroid status first....

[@youjib]

Does it needs VT-X ?

[@machivaldemon]

whats the standard sysreq?

[@minepoolgothacked6925]

i researched it a bit and if you are using a custom kernel such as xanmod or zen you might not have a menu show up you have to enter psi=1 into your grub or something i dont understand really

[@TechSolutionz]

Probably

[@richardsalt8002]

will this work if i'm running mint in virtual machine ?

[@TechSolutionz]

Yes it will but you will need to do some modifications

[@kxking343]

I'm not getting internet connection, am I the only one facing the issue

[@JedHurricane]

Same

[@rafaelbarrocal6345]

I solved it by disabling the firewall

Perfect! thank you so much

It doesnt open whatsoever

[@TechSolutionz]

I would need to see an error to guide you.

[@Nightyru]

I run weston works fine but when I run waydroid it doesnt show it what do I do?

[@TechSolutionz]

You must have missed something during Waydroid Installation. Please Verify!!

[@Nightyru]

@@TechSolutionz ok

[@minepoolgothacked6925]

@@Nightyru are you using an xanmod kernel or a zen kernel that could be the problem

[@minepoolgothacked6925]

@cafungacarequinha6548 you gotta edit the grub entry for your current kernel and add psi=1

[@parmetra]

Thank you! Tell me, please, do you feel lags through use through Weston?

Yes. Slightly Sluggish.
