  • waydroid_script

    Discontinued Python Script to add OpenGapps, Magisk, libhoudini translation library and libndk translation library to waydroid !

  • But it supports only x86-64 android app. So I tried installing libhoudini via waydroid_script which successfully installed it without a problem. But not all arm app are showing and I couldn't run any arm app (it crashes or gives me plank screen) . After farther research I found that libhoudini is closed source and it seems like it's outdated and experimental. Also it supports only arm_a5 which is arm 32 bit. While most app only supports arm_a7 which is arm 64bit architecture.

  • anbox

    Discontinued Anbox is a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system

  • I tried anbox and succeeded in getting it running. But I had some preformance problems and crashes. Also the official Android image that ships with anbox supports only x86-64.
