It's pretty stable but the lack of regular Linux apps via flatpak is kind of a bummer because you will mostly have to rely on waydroid apps for most stuff. Lots of responsive apps such as gnome web are not available in Ubuntu touch

I'm glad to hear the stability has improved!

I guess that is expected as the user base is smaller.

Yeah I tried it for 2-3 weeks and I didn't get crashes or things like it not waking up when I pressed the power button on my oneplus6. I don't think I could get Waydroid working though

I see there's a snap store option for it now, but does libertine work? I remember testing ubports on my early adopter pinetab and I could never get libertine to finish its setup to install a normal app

Same thing about libertine, didn't work when I tried it, it just kept loading infinitely

That's a bummer

That sounds horrible. Waydroid is still on Android 11, which is now over 1½ years outdated and insecure.

This means absolutley nothing. You can still use 99% of available Apps on Android 8.

But if your whole setup is centered around emulating Android apps, why not use something like LineageOS or Graphene.

Waydroid is lineage based
