Waydroid, it's for running android apps.
You can use it inside weston (or some wayland compositor) if you are on xorg I was told.
Or you can use the old version called anbox.

so i installed aosp version by mistake insteafd of gapps version!!!




installed gapps but:


this devioce isnt play prtotect certified


Run sudo waydroid shell

Inside the shell run this command:

Copy
ANDROID_RUNTIME_ROOT=/apex/com.android.runtime ANDROID_DATA=/data ANDROID_TZDATA_ROOT=/apex/com.android.tzdata ANDROID_I18N_ROOT=/apex/com.android.i18n sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"
Use the string of numbers printed by the command to register the device on your Google Account at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified

Give the Google services some minutes to reflect the change, then restart waydroid

Well the end f this seems to be that i borked my install of waydroid and i may just reainstall artix on my nvme drive.  I'll make one install for kde and another for mate soi i can play with waydroid and preserves my mate desktop.  As it is now i'm using windows 11 with bluestacks and i turned my tv into portrait mode for a while so i can mess with my android full screen device...

You should try swapping between libndk and libhoudini, Libhoudini is intel's optimized arm -> x86, libndk is AMD's but each one has some games they do better or worse in. You may also be running into GPU issues, or checks that break things. Some checks can be worked around, some can't.

You can try spoofing the device to get past some checks https://github.com/Quackdoc/waydroid-scripts/blob/main/spoof-device.sh
