Examples

  • log:

  • logcat:

    sudo waydroid logcat > ~/waydroid-logcat.tx

  • Initialize for test builds:
    Create the folder: usr/share/waydroid-extra/images and extract your customized images there.
    First, you need to do a little cleanup (if this fails, reboot and try again):

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid

    Then run:

    sudo waydroid init -f
sudo waydroid init

    Or, if you have your test images in another location (ex: ~/Downloads/test_build/), then run:

    sudo waydroid init -f
sudo waydroid init -i ~/Downloads/test_build
