It’s been a while since the last time this was asked, so here goes again: what specific apps do you use Waydroid to run?
Whenever I get the itch to play around with this impressive project, I quickly remember that I can’t think of anything to actually do with it. There’s already a Linux native app for almost everything that isn’t an ad infested game, so I’m curious if anyone has use cases for Waydroid that they can share. I’d love to hear about something cool that I didn’t think of!
Why is this nsfw? ._. Is waydroid that sexy?
I didn’t like any native music player and e book reader available on Linux… So setup waydroid for Symphony and Moon reader And using it on surface pro 6 is quite a nice experience. But I wished they could update to newer Android version.
A13 is comming soon. It’s currently in an open testing phase and the latest images can be found on the sourceforge.
What android version is Waydroid using these days? Last time I checked it was woefully out of date, like Android 11 or something.
there are official beta versions for A13 available.
I don’t use it for every day apps, but for accessing things that are only available as an app:
- Buying train tickets
- Booking driving lessons
- Whatsapp (I use whatsapp web most of the time, so only need waydroid to sign in occasionally)
So you only have WhatsApp in Waydroid without having it on a phone? O:
How does that work without a SIM-card?
When you install whatsapp, if you deny it permission to access your phone number, or if it doesn’t find one, it allows you to enter a phone number manually. It then sends a confirmation text with a code to verify the number, just like any other website.
I used an old (non-smart) phone with a burner sim to receive the confirmation text.
Ohh I see thats pretty cool, thank you! I might do that to finally removre WhatsApp from my Phone :D
