Waydroid on Armbian ? How to install it properly?

DarkevilPT · January 21, 2023, 12:34am

I did this:
sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y

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” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list
sudo apt update

sudo apt install waydroid -y

sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container

App installs well then Vanilla Download results:

Waiting for waydroid container service…
Failed to load binder driver
modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588
Binder node “binder” for waydroid not found

In short… what am I doing wrong? what needs to be done? Anyone can help? I really would live to try android apps via Linux

you either need to rebuild kernel with those modules enabled or install dkms. If you were on an archlinux based distro (RebornOS) i could give u instructions since i dont use debian based distros.

How do I do that? I press pull request and… copy paste that code for rpardini to… develop kernel for it ?
(Im not 100% familiarized how on these moves work so apologies if I sound dumb).

# Contributing to Armbian Linux build framework

We would love to have you join the Armbian community! Below summarizes the processes that we follow.

## Reporting issues

Before [reporting an issue](https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/new/choose), check our [backlog of open issues](https://github.com/armbian/build/issues) and [pull requests](https://github.com/armbian/build/pulls) to see if someone else has already reported or working on it. If an issues is already open, feel free to add your scenario, or additional information, to the discussion. Or simply "subscribe" to it to be notified when it is updated.

If you find a new issue with the project please let us hear about it! The most important aspect of a bug report is that it includes enough information for us to reproduce it. So, please include as much detail as possible and try to remove the extra stuff that does not really relate to the issue itself. The easier it is for us to reproduce it, the faster it will be fixed!

Please do not include any private/sensitive information in your issue! We are not responsible for your privacy, this is open source software.

## Working on issues

Once you have decided to contribute to Armbian by working on an issue, check our backlog of open (or [JIRA](https://armbian.atlassian.net/jira/dashboards/10000) issues open by the team) looking for any that do not have an "In Progress" label attached to it. Often issues will be assigned to someone, to be worked on at a later time. If you have the time to work on the issue now add yourself as an assignee, and set the "In Progress" label if you are a member of the “Containers” GitHub organization. If you can not set the label, just add a quick comment in the issue asking that the “In Progress” label be set and a member will do so for you.

Please be sure to review the [Development Code Review Procedures and Guidelines](https://docs.armbian.com/Development-Code_Review_Procedures_and_Guidelines/) as well before you begin.

Hey rippanda,

I’m using your RebornOS from Github. Could you give me instructions on how to get Waydroid (or Anbox) to run?

I can’t install binder and ashmem via dkms cause the kernel does not support KProbes. On the other hand I can’t figure out how to recompile the kernel for RebornOS cause the radxa wiki has only info about how to do it for debian based systems and when I try that in RebornOS make exits with error 2 upon Makefile line 1920…

So yeah, instructions on how to get Waydroid to run on RebornOS would be really helpful. Also: Is it possible to get GPU support for Waydroid? What would I have to choose in the installer for that to happen?

Thanks a lot!
