[Ed_P]

Thanks beny.

slapt-mod -u and slapt-mod -s waydroid didn't find it, have to figure out how to add slackware.nl to slapt.mod.

[beny]

hi, Ed_P try to add this to the configure file maybe work after an update of the mirrors: the slackdce now is the best packages mirror for the slackware 15
https://slackware.uk/slackdce/packages/15.0/x86_64/
you need also: Package required: libglibutil, python3-gbinder, libgbinder

[Ed_P]

Ok, I added https://slackware.uk/slackdce/packages/15.0/x86_64/ to /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc, ran slapt-mod -u then slapt-mod -s waydroid, still no file found.

Thank you beny.

best to read this too: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0 ... /waydroid/
1. only works in a wayland session (cinnamon has some support for this but it's a bit sketchy at this stage afair) (there are addon modules for lxqt and xfce4 in 5.1-alpha* to enable a wayland session)
2. requires certain kernel configs set, which appear to be in blaze's recent builds

first-launch wants to download VANILLA from https://ota.waydro.id/system

Same result with trying to download GAPPS.

Ed_P, if you use the porteus current version you need python packages but the 3.12 version,try to load also the wayland graphic if you are in current. ah take a look at kernel configure for this:maybe the last neko's kerne it have already
CONFIG_ANDROID=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=m
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=n
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"

hi Ed_P, waydroid it do not run on an amd zen and nvidia gpu system and also with a notebook with amd A10 and radeon, the environment is wayland, start to load but it is a loop
