For a first release, it already comes with a bunch of changes. How many people moved to the fork, is it all of the devs there now?

Any recommendations for the contacts app?

Which other games did they adapt… Poorly?

Problem with phones is all the components have embedded firmwares, acting like small undocumented computers. This is a whole layer of cluster-fuckery for documenting drivers. You can check how for example the MS Surface has rather good Linux support…Except for the wencam, which has an intel module directly controlling the sensor, which is completely undocumented. Result -> ANy of these newer laptops have non-existent camera support. Imagine the same but not just the camera, but the GSM modem, the wifi, the storage adapter, NFC module, the battery…

…just bought the second one a month ago.

It’s…kinda like a VM? But without the VM part. It runs in a container, AFAIK, so it’s using a lot less resources than a full blown VM. It works for a lot of apps. And the ARM emulation plugin helps a lot, too. But then again, I usually stick to mostly FOSS apps, and refuse to install the gapps suite. So, no Play Store. I can still install apps via Aurora, but there’s a problem there between Waydroid and Aurora, which leads to frequent crashes (of Aurora) when trying to install an app. But once the app is installed (you can download it by other means, and just install it into waydroid by running something like ‘waydroid app install myfile.apk’.

Wow this one looks major, and possibly disruptive.

You mean…waydroid? It’s literally a translation layer running on a container, AFAIK. Then you can add an additional ARM emulation plugin for specific apps that don’t have x86 versions.
