LineageOS 22.2 for Waydroid (20260224) (Android 15)

Mesa version: 25.3.6
ARM translation layer: No
GApps included: No

This is the first-ever Android 15 build for Waydroid, not just for this project :D

Waydroid integration is currently broken (things like waydroid app install are not working), use adb install instead

LineageOS 23.2 for Waydroid (20260302) (Android 16)

Mesa version: 26.0.1
ARM translation layer: ndk_translation
GApps included: Yes

We finally have Android 16 on x86 PCs natively :) No emulators, no VMs, no performance overhead.

The only fly in the ointment is that we don't have a stable ARM translation layer for A15/A16 at this moment. Many ARM-only apps just crash if you try to run them.

I am currently looking for someone to test (and debug) GPU acceleration on my unreleased Android 16 QPR0 build, for the following GPUs:

- Kepler+ NVIDIA GPUs with nouveau kernel driver (Anything newer than GTX600 series)
- AMD GPUs (especially RDNA-based cards/iGPUs)

If anyone has the hardware and is interested in it, please tell me (by sending a PM here) and I will send the build to you :)

Waydroid A16 build running on Docker, with multi-instance support

Technically, it is not Waydroid anymore, but "a Docker image that's based on Waydroid patches"

Great news!

I have just got the older version of ndk_translation (from AVD16 QPR0) working on LineageOS 23.2, which resolves the ARM compatibility issue in my A16 QPR2 images

TL;DR, I will start working on the next 23.2 release (both TV and regular) after the final release of 23.0 is out

UPDATE:

Only ARM64 is supported in QPR2 currently, stay in 23.0 if you need 32-bit ARM support (especially for TV users)

Android 17 on Waydroid (AOSP)

Here we break the record again :)

Apart from that, the next LineageOS 23.2 update is coming soon, with bug fixes and improvements

Bad news: No 32-bit ARM support 🫠

LineageOS 23.2 for Waydroid (20260717) (Android 16 QPR2)

Mesa version: 26.1.5
ARM translation layer: ndk_translation
GApps included: Optional

After months of tweaking, it's finally here! With lots of improvements and bug fixes. Here are some highlights:

- Two-finger touchpad gestures are now mapped to screen swipes for a better gesture navigation experience
- Added support for clipboard sync with host
- Enable background blur support in app drawer/notification shade
- Fixed network connection, no more workaround required
- ARM translation layer is fully functional now
- Waydroid integration is now fully functional (requires Waydroid version 1.6.3 or later)
- Initial CGroup support for Intel CPUs with hybrid architecture (might benefit power consumption)

Well, actually I didn't expect to announce it so soon, but someone on Reddit discovered it just hours after the OTA page was updated :P
