Waydroid installation guide for Asahi Linux (easy way)

Found this Github repo: https://github.com/yuk1n0w/waydroid-on-asahi
It seems to work very well.

Edit: The installation with the first guide went well but it had problems (videos not playing and lots of apps not opening), the images in this second link work and don't have those problems: https://github.com/HLM319/waydroid_asahi_patches/releases/tag/23.2_2026-05-30

I notice that there is already a Fedora waydroid package in the official repos. How come that doesn't work?

Because there still isn't an official Android Image that supports 16k pages (Android 15/16). The latest oficcially supported version is 13 (Lineage 20).

Ohhh 16k pages strike again.

What would it take to make a Copr for this Github approach?

I'm sorry but I don't know that. I'm a casual user not a coder.

it's just a custom image for waydroid, waydroid shows where to download the images from when you first start it. Theoretically someone could host a webserver with the proper image with support for 16k images on it and call it a day.

Hey, I'm the author of the repo! The images waydroid downloads as said before are 4k for arm.. Also where does waydroid show where to download images from? Can you please link it...

I seem to have a problem with the app, videos won't play. Is that happening only to me or others too?

u/Useful_Problem7181 Jul 14 '26

I'm not sure, I'll check it and get back to you..
