guide how to install android 13 (lineage 20) in waydroid

cleanup

if you messed up your waydroid installation, you can clean it up

sudo systemctl stop waydroid-container.service
sudo rm -rf /etc/waydroid-extra /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid ~/.share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/*aydroid* ~/.local/share/waydroid

run waydroid with android 11

in order to get android 13 working, first we should run waydroid with android 11

init waydroid

sudo waydroid init --system_channel=https://ota.waydro.id/system --vendor_channel=https://ota.waydro.id/vendor -f
sudo waydroid upgrade

start waydroid container service

sudo systemctl start waydroid-container

if it fails to start, try to disable selinux

sudo setenforce 0
sudo systemctl start waydroid-container

or you can try to start it without using systemd

sudo waydroid container start

launch waydroid

waydroid show-full-ui

run waydroid with android 13

if you succeeded to start android 11, then you can try to start android 13

download android 13 images and init

sudo curl -L https://github.com/gmankab/waydroid/releases/download/jul-12-2024/system.img -o /etc/waydroid-extra/images/system.img --create-dirs
sudo curl -L https://github.com/gmankab/waydroid/releases/download/jul-12-2024/vendor.img -o /etc/waydroid-extra/images/vendor.img --create-dirs
sudo waydroid init -f -i /usr/share/waydroid-extra/images

start waydroid container service

sudo systemctl start waydroid-container

launch waydroid

waydroid show-full-ui

go back to android 11

sudo systemctl stop waydroid-container.service
sudo rm -rf /etc/waydroid-extra /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid ~/.share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/*aydroid* ~/.local/share/waydroid
sudo waydroid init --system_channel=https://ota.waydro.id/system --vendor_channel=https://ota.waydro.id/vendor -f
