  • Description: Hi, I’m changing OS on my PC tablet to FydeOS, So I wiped clean its internal SSD. However, I cannot activate Android Subsystem in FydeOS. Is it using Waydroid? If it is, I don’t see any progress of downloading the Android images after a while. I think it could be useful to see the progress. I have used Waydroid with Debian 12.05 Genome DE and it worked just fine. Also, FydeOS does not recognize my soundcard unlike Debian, I guess it could be the kernel issue, so I have no audio output. Anyway, please let me know how to fix this, because I’ve rewashed the PC 3 times with no luck prior to sending this message. Thank you.

***Update:
Android is installed but it keeps quitting for any sideloaded apks, also whenever I download APK from FydeOS Store then try to install using file manager, it keeps showing a notification to activate Android Subsystem, if I click the link it will show the blurry pop-up window for activation and suddenly quit. This keeps happening. Any solution?

It’s not waydroid

Ok. Anyway, apparently it was installed as I posted on update.

It means the android subsystem is not activated. Atoms are old. You should keep using Ubuntu.

Ok. Switching to Debian from now on. Thanks
