Added instruction to the #NixOS wiki on how to configure GPS/location forwarding to the #Waydroid container https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Waydroid#GPS/Location_forwarding

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

Thanks to the script geobridge by @papiris

#Waydroid ist die Lösung für das Ausführen von #Android-Apps auf einem #Linux-Desktop. Mit einer containerbasierten Architektur liefert Waydroid nahezu native Leistung und tiefe Systemintegration.

Tried to setup a virtual camera for #Waydroid on #postmarketOS following this guide https://www.testdevlab.com/blog/android-virtual-camera-setup

Rooting #Android works well, even registering VCam for the specific app seems to work but I cant get the video stream to show up :( Maybe not the correct video resolution or codec?

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

@symbadisch aber sicher! Es gibt #phosh, #Gnome_mobile_shell, #KDE_plasma_mobile, und #waydroid für #android_apps.

Has anyone succeeded in making #Whatsapp on #Waydroid work?

Please boost.

So Android-Apps unter Linux wäre schon ab und an ganz cool. Habt ihr schon mal #waydroid probiert? Wenn ja, was meint ihr?

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]

In meinem neuen Video stelle ich das FuriPhone FLX1 im Detail vor! Erfahrt alles über dieses spannende Gerät, das auf Mobian basiert und dank Waydroid auch Android-Apps ausführen kann.

Im Unboxing-Teil zeige ich, wie das Phone bei mir ankam, und wir gehen gemeinsam die ersten Schritte zur Inbetriebnahme durch. Schaut rein!

Was ist das???

Ich habe seit einigen Jahren ein Handy mit Ubuntu Touch / UbPorts. Also einem absolutem Nischen-Betriebssystem. XD

Ganz cool aber erwartbar wenige Apps. Was doof ist, wenn man spezielle Apps braucht, wie fürs Onlinebanking oder Dtl-Ticket.
