ryanrudolfoba / steamos-waydroid-installer Goto Github PK

so, my issue is relatively straightforward. I cannot get the script to install because at a point after the packages have been installed the installer errors out by saying that it cannot find the configuration file. after Double checking, I have verified that the Clone repo did work properly and that all the files in the GitHub repo are present and accounted for. I could probably install this myself manually, which is what I intended on doing before I actually found this script. It seemed at the time like it would be a much easier way to go about installing Waydroid. I don't think it could be a configuration issue on my end however I do have brew and the nix package manager installed on my deck but that hasn't caused issues anywhere else. This is especially true considering that your script uses the AUR instead. If you have any ideas, let me know and I'll be more than happy to test for you.

Thanks!

Please recompile for latest kernel version 6.1.52-valve17-1-neptune-61

Hi! i am sorry for asking this, but do you know how to solve "wireless debugging" in developer mode ? i tried to set the toogle on but it's said "connect to your wifi" i tried what the instruction said but the the wifi seems not working. How to resolve this ?

Hi @ryanrudolfoba, you do the great job, thank you first.

I followed your tutorial on YouTube and executed your script on my Steam Deck[LCD version]. Everything went smoothly. However, after entering the Android system, the controller test program couldn't detect the Xbox 360 controller. Is this a known issue? How can I resolve this problem? Looking forward to your reply.

the controls for Minecraft are glitched, the right stick and trigger move the camera

Error building and installing waydroid. good bye!

Not sure if it's caused by some recent update on Arch's repos, but it's not looking good - the uninstallation instructions don't work since the uninstall script was not created. It should be possible to easily revert everything (including removing any Arch packages that do not come with Steam OS and were installed by the script) in case the installation fails like this.

I've tried rec room and call of duty mobile but they both don't work because they require you to click a button but you can't click it because it needs to be a touch screen click.

6.1.52-valve12-1-neptune-61 is NOT supported. Exiting immediately.

Hi, as the title says when i click in a game (though not in the android home menu) the click doesn't register, I've heard something called fake touch can rectify this but idk how to install it - please help

I'm on SteamOS 3.5.7 LCD steam deck, the full log is:

1. Something about pyclip not being there. I got this message on the console. Can't remember where.
2. Like the nested desktop issue I posted into the steam community forum, trying to use this on an external monitor and the pointe cannot get below a certain point in the external screen to press any of the bottom three icons. I guess it's a more general issue since it seems to happen on both this and the nested desktop. It's a pain cos I have to stop the app, unplug my monitor, start the app, and plug my monitor into the docking station again.
   The normal switch to desktop has no issues with the mouse pointer going down far enough.
   I can launch waydroid inside the normal "Switch to desktop". Of course, it opens in a window and I can get to the three bottom buttons in that window.
   However if I try to expand that window, I see your background pic but the android display itself does not expand. Unfortunately every keypress on my Bluetooth keyboard registers as 2 presses inside waydroid on this normal desktop, and the steam virtual keyboard doesn't register at all, and core keyboard won't come up at all for me after I installed it. The android onscreen keyboard however does work.

The latest version of linux-neptune-61-headers is targeting 6.1.52.valve10-1 while the kernel version used in 3.5.7 is 6.1.52-valve9-1. If the user updated the package database, it will download the incorrect version of the headers and it won't build the binder module. The headers should be downloaded directly with pacman -U instead -S

Hi
The download part of the install script where it gets Waydroid from Sourceforge is taking way way too long, I have downloaded the image manually from that link instead
Where should I put the downloaded zip file so the script can continue?

Waydroid appears to have a significant amount of audio latency, to the point where rhythm games become impossible to play unless you adjust the audio latency in the game's settings.

By using scrcpy, you can significantly reduce the amount of audio latency.

Using the game Cytoid as an example, here's the amount of measured end-to-end latency in the game's calibration tool when using Waydroid's audio playback:

When running scrcpy --audio-buffer 30 --audio-codec=raw --no-video-playback --tcpip=[WAYDROID_IP_ADDRESS]:5555 via SSH I measured the following latency:

For a rough idea of how this compares to an actual Android device, I ran the same test on my Sony Xperia 1 II.

This results in roughly half the end-to-end audio latency of Waydroid's native audio output, and brings things much closer to an actual Android device. I tried lower values for --audio-buffer, but it resulted in some noticeable popping in the audio. I haven't noticed any issues in more demanding games that I have tested, but despite that it might be best to make such a feature default off just in case.

I get these errors during installation:

Installation has been working wonderfully, however the final step (adding the shortcuts) seemingly failed. Adding them to Game Mode manually does seem to work, although I couldn't find steamos-nested-desktop.sh

Using the latest installer script, I am running into an issue where the package "colord" could not be resolved properly. It results into weston not properly setup/upgraded, which then makes the installation fail. Following is the few lines of warnings and ultimately error that is logged.

Hello! I am having install issues for your script around the sudo password on my Steam Deck. I have attempted to reset the password multiple times through the user settings and it still will not let me past that prompt. I’ve tried restarting, changing the password to a four letter all lower case option, etc. to no avail. It was recommended that I open an issue here from the post I recently



made on Reddit. I appreciate any and all help with this issue! Thank you!

Tried a few games, all from Play Store

Godville - Works
Clicker Heroes - Works
Pokemon Go - Asks for date of birth, but UI is not interactable so can't proceed (probably won't work anyway due to Safetynet, and lack of GPS)
Pokemon TCG Live - Numerous Wayland bugs during the first run wizard that are difficult to work around, and random crashes that reset everything Didn't have the patience to see if it's possible to get past the login screens.*
Pokemon Masters Ex - Errors and loops (99.9% sure this is its Safetynet check)

• • Letterboxed, but software keyboard does not properly work in letterbox mode making it unusable. Hardware keyboard keys all are interpreted as double presses. Some message boxes in the app open partly off screen.

Hi, i really like you project because it is easy to follow and help me successfully install waydroid. However, i found that i cannot download some game in Google Play. After some check i found casualsnek script, and yes in the end i realize you already tested and write on the README.md.

In my point of view, i think the problem is SteamOS 3.5.6 in someway mounted the /var/lib, so i try to change /var/lib/waydroid to /usr/local/games/waydroid in your install script but DON'T try it because more problem(some path still cannot change in waydroid arg.work).

I guess i can still enjoy the waydroid with only x86. After all, appreciate for all you work. Thank you.

Hi, from every other way that I found on the internet, I only had succes installing waydroid with your video and instructions, since I don't understand linux and programing enought to make things out alone. With that said, I am actually interested in installing Galaxy Store, since Play Store doesn't have good discounts at my contry, but Galaxy Sotre does. I got my hands on the app, but it doesn't work on this setup, guess it's because of the Pixel 5's fingerprint. How could I install this app or change the device model so it would be compatible with galaxy store apps? (I won't pretend to use netflix, so Pixel 5 isn't necesssary).

https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_tips.md#using-waydroid-inside-a-distrobox

Distrobox and Podman are included in steamOS 3.5.

With distrobox-host-exec, we should be able to have a rootfull container set up and maintain the install that could auto rebuild the binder modules when it detects a new kernel.

We could build with distrobox ephemeral so it temporary makes a distrobox container that is automatically destroyed once the build is done and modules are exported.

We can use Systemd if we need to overlay any files on the system with a overlayfs like using systemd-sysext

Not sure how doable this is but this is a better controller config default I think.

Currently it seems to default to Gamepad with Joystick trackpad. I didn't find that intuitive but maybe that's me.

New Steam Version for Steam Deck, not supported. Just wanted to make you aware.

Help.
I have already installed some stuff using the Konsole, if that helps.

I have kernel 6.1.52-valve10-1-neptune-61, and it says my kernel is not supported. Is that a problem with waydroid? How can I sort this out?

I noticed that some applications, despite having access to the internet, do not work because they simply check the waydroid's wifi and say that it is turned off, as in most multiplayer games and chinatown wars, which does not connect to the rockstar account, some way of implementing fake wifi in the future?

Seit update leider nicht mehr funktional...

Like as demonstrated in this video: https://youtu.be/v3BTESxhMMg?si=awPEoabG5HTLA_C4

I'm getting an odd issue where after an app has been open for an extended period of time, it freezes up and must be manually exited. Along with this, when that same app is re-opened it will simply freeze on the splashscreen and proceed to hang/freeze until it properly crashes. The only way to fix this is to restart waydroid completely. However even after doing so, the problem will always crop up again.

I've done a fresh install of waydroid twice now, but sadly to no avail.

Tried few times but no luck
cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/6.1.52-valve9-1-neptune-61/binder_linux.ko.zst': Read-only file system

I also saw this during install.

Good day! Several errors occur during installation on 3.5.7:

1. Executing waydroid session start & results in :
   chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink '/dev/anbox-binder'

2. Subsequent execution of cd ~/AUR/waydroid/waydroid_script
   sudo venv/bin/python 3 main.py certified results in the error "waydroid is not initialized, run way android init"

3. Executing waydroid init results in:

Waydroid did not initialize correctly. Performing cleanup!

I followed the guide as normal. Repo's already added prior, and I copy-pasted the second commands. I've also tried running those commands again and the results are the same.

Running 'waydroid log' returns a 'command not found.
I'm on the most recent SteamOS version 3.5.17 build 20240228.2 on an LCD model.

Bluetooth mouse buttons can be seen registering on screen as being pressed but nothing happens when clicked.
Seems to only be when I re-plug ext monitor in again to fix the issue in last fault posting.
Have to restart waydroid to get mouse to work again, but then the mouse won't move to bottom of screen again.
It looks like I can only use this on the deck display.
Kinda strange that the mouse works perfectly if I press the steam button and wiggle the pointer around in there.

The most annoying part is it reports it completed successfully, however no shortcuts have actually been added to game mode, and it finished much quicker than when I later tried it through Konsole so I suspect Android was never actually downloaded and installed either.

I ran the uninstall script which similarly had a ton of error messages, though I didn't capture that output as I did it on the Deck itself.

Ran the install script via Konsole on the Deck and that worked much better.

Would be nice if the install script worked over SSH, if possible.

At least the install script should do minimal error checking and bail with cleanup if something goes wrong, and never report success incorrectly. The current behavior is confusing and misleading.

Waydroid has been successfully installed!

Decided to uninstall after the script seemed to not work as intended.

• no shortcuts were added in gaming mode
• when using the .desktop files, the icon shows up for a second before disappearing
• tried to enter "waydroid session start" in the terminal, got errors telling me that the display/sockets weren't set? can't make much sense of it as I'm not an expert. searching for the message online gave unrelated/no solutions. gave up around this point.
  

Attempted to uninstall and got the following error:

I did get this message that said something along the lines of "cannot run this as root user" near the end of the install process, maybe that has something to do with the issue?

I'm guessing that the best way out is uninstalling, but I'm open to trying to get this to work

What the title says, followed the video, no problems during waydroid installation but can't download apps.

Very Little Nightmares - The Google store says "This tablet isn't compatible with the app", and so won't install. It is a pity, as this is the only game I've actually bought from the Google store for my phone. This one does install and work using BlueStacks on Windows.

The Simpsons Tapped Out - Installs and lets me log in. It does keep losing connection, but it does that on my phone, android tablet, my mum's ipad etc. So that's nothing to do with Waydroid.
It works for the most part, but I did notice that every time I click to play one of the minigames, it kicks me to the Waydroid desktop. The game is still running, but disconnected in the background.

Hi,

Not sure if this has been covered? Have installed flawlessley.....however

How do you use the Steam Deck controls to scroll through Android screen menus?

Is there a best configuration?

“I’m having trouble installing scripts on Waydroid on my Steam Deck due to the size of only 256 MB of the var partition. Is there any possibility to change the installation to the deck’s home?”

May apply to all hardware keyboards, not sure. Seems to be something that should be fixable. Possibly two different methods are being used to send keypresses to Android. Disable one?

When I type with a hardware keyboard key presses are doubled, both visible characters and control keys.

For example if I try to type "The MAZZTer" I get "TThhee MMAAZZZZTTeerr"

I installed waydroid using this method after a failed attempt to install using https://gist.github.com/Saren-Arterius/c5bc39199552a5c244449b0ce467d6b6

The install was successful and added the game mode shortcut but going back to Game Mode and launching it results in a black screen then exiting.

I'm running SteamOS preview 3.5.14 build 20240202.2 on LCD

In SteamOS 3.5.7 stable channel, the script to add as non steam game seems to have been modified so that it doesn't allow shell scripts.

Here is the output of the script steamos-add-to-steam that is used in the last line of the waydroid-installer script:

$ deck@steamdeck SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer)$ cat /usr/bin/steamos-add-to-steam
#! /bin/sh

add_to_steam() {
    encodedUrl="steam://addnonsteamgame/$(python3 -c "import urllib.parse;print(urllib.parse.quote(\"$1\", safe=''))")"
    touch /tmp/addnonsteamgamefile
    xdg-open $encodedUrl
}

show_error() {
    if [ "$show_dialog" = "1" ]; then
        kdialog --title Error --error "$1"
    else
        echo "$1" >&2
    fi
}

if [ "$1" = "-ui" ]; then
    show_dialog=1
    shift
fi

if [ ! -e "$file" ]
then
    echo "Usage: steamos-add-to-steam [-ui] <path>"
    exit 1
fi

            add_to_steam "$file"
        else

        fi
        ;;
    *)
        show_error "Unsupported file type"

"Unsupported file type" is returned, because the MIME type does not match any of the specified ones.

$ deck@steamdeck SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer)$ xdg-mime query filetype "PlasmaNested.sh"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daraz.android

Any way to make it work?

lastest update kill my waydroid.
trying to reinstall but get the error : 6.1.52-valve16-1-neptune-61 is NOT supported. Exiting immediately.

Is it possible to access files in the Steam Deck home directory or the SD card from inside waydroid? Currently, it seems that when I go to the files app, I can only access directories local to the Android installation.
