I used to hate android emulators, since the ones I’d tested on Windows were ad-ridden, slow bloatware.
The other day I needed to run an android app on Fedora 40.
I tried Waydroid and it worked very well. The app ran supersmooth as if it was running natively.
Also the cli syntax was very sane an user friendly.
waydroid app install|run|list …
So if you need an Android app on linux the experience might be better than what you think it would be.
I’m new to waydroid, how are people running games? The games I want to play don’t show as supported by the device.
Yeah, it can’t run stuff compiled for ARM, right?
I hit a speed bump and I haven’t had time to fully investigate but I too would like to run games.
we can if you load libhoudini or libndk, but both are proprietary so they arent included by default, casual snek’s waydroid-extras
Ooh, thank you. I’ll try that tonight.
It worked! But the menus are bugging out in the game itself so I’ll need to tinker some more I guess.
What if Fedora is running on ARM?
it should have pretty good support but you may need to use this script to spoof the device for some stuff https://github.com/Quackdoc/waydroid-scripts/blob/main/spoof-device.sh
