Finally managed to forward GPS position into #WayDroid and can now use @CoMaps on #postmarketOS

Thanks to the script geobridge by @papiris

Cool new feature with the #Waydroid update to #Android 13: Support to configure screen lock. This will bring support to a lot more Android apps on #postmarketOS which require screen lock as a security measure
Just tested it with the Interrail app, I'm now able to add my travel pass

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

#Waydroid is now available for testing on our repository!

To install Waydroid on the Arch image for @PINE64 #PinePhone / #PineTab, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S waydroid-image
sudo waydroid init -f
sudo systemctl enable waydroid-container --now

Then launch "Waydroid" app from the launcher.

Remember that Waydroid requires a Wayland compositor/UI.

Thx to @RealDanct12 for getting #Waydroid ready for #Arch. We managed to push the needed packages to our #unstable branch. Get one of our #Phosh Developer images to try it out! https://youtu.be/bG0uAQqeqW4

Since a few days, #Waydroid is available on #postmarketOS for testing! It's currently considered to be in an experimental state, but should be usable.

Instructions:
sudo apk add waydroid
sudo rc-update add waydroid-container
sudo reboot

Installed Android apps should appear in the application drawer of your favorite DE!

#Waydroid is now part of the @danctnix repository
It's also more stable.

Installation instructions:
sudo pacman -S waydroid-image
sudo waydroid init -f
sudo systemctl enable waydroid-container --now

Launch it from the #Pinephone app launcher.

I just finished my first workout ever on #Pinephone, thanks to #Waydroid

I couldn't use Adidas's training app because of the memory issue, so instead I installed Feeel, a lightweight, Open-Source workout app.

This is huuuge: https://nitter.nixnet.services/RealDanct12/status/1423583998865940480#m
