Just type in a few commands and you’ll have an image you can flash.

I’ve got a detailed description of what to do: https://git.erebion.eu/forgejo/erebion/sargo-temp

It is to Android apps what WINE is to Windows programs, while Waydroid is to Android apps what something between Docker and a VM would be to server software.

Actually, Waydroid is not too dissimilar from running, for example, an Ubuntu Desktop system in a Docker container on a Debian desktop system, just so you can use snap packages… Instead of installing snapd on Debian. (Not that I want snapd.)

Waydroid is more like an Android container appliance that runs a full Android system, while ATL, as the name Android Translation Layer suggests, translates functions and API calls, used by Android apps, into the appropriate methods of doing things on a regular GNU/Linux system (in contrast to an Android Runtime/Linux system), thereby being much more efficient, more comfortable to use and having the potential of integrating into the system really well.

Let me know how it goes! You might notice an issue I have missed and can then fix. :)

Definitely do! It’s a lot of fun and it feels great to have Mobian on the phone instead of having old Android on it or even a phone in the trash and no phone.

No idea, but you could of course install Waydroid on Mobian. I hope Android Translation Layer (https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer) will at some point get to a state where it is usable as the superior Waydroid alternative for many people.

Also, I keep some notes up to date over on my Forgejo instance: https://git.erebion.eu/forgejo/erebion/sargo-temp

I’m on Debian, that’s the reason I asked whether anyone knows the right Debian packge. :)

For now I use the Flatpak version, but that one has other issues, it does not keep the phone awake and once it suspends Bluetooth gets disconnected as well, which is fiddly.

exciting episode, many interesting topics

Try git pull and see whether the updated fork works now. If not, I will have a closer look.

Also, I’ve just built it successfully. Make sure there are no left-overs from a previous run which failed.
