Just tried the applicable instructions given on that German site, and so far Anbox still crashes when I try to start it. After about 30s of the window saying "Starting..." it just quits. I'll see if I can get any helpful output by starting it through terminal.

Good work @tophneal , I didn't have time tonight but I'll see to give those instructions a shot soon.
Sounds like it didn't change the situation which could be good or bad (depending on how you look at it).

You could verify if the container is running or if the android image is garbled completely from adb. If you tried to enable the Play Store as well , it may have created another point of failure which we could deal with later on.

i think i was wrong about what was going wrong, i just finally figured out how to get meaningful debug info out of session manager and
env ANBOX_LOG_LEVEL=debug anbox session-manager
[ 2020-01-21 02:29:31] [Renderer.cpp:168@initialize] Using a surfaceless EGL context
[ 2020-01-21 02:29:32] [Renderer.cpp:251@initialize] Successfully initialized EGL
[ 2020-01-21 02:29:32] [service.cpp:41@Service] Successfully acquired DBus service name

I suspect single window mode stays black because the image itself isn't fully booting. In my experience with actual android devices, phones can be in a not fully booted but still adb accessible state. I will run adb logcat, i should have done that earlier:

ad infinitum, producing approx 70 of the same log per minute

maybe i will build an image after all, something seems up here, and i don't actually think it's anbox anymore. i think anbox may be working perfectly fine (still testing on my originally successful build, and i still can't reproduce it i wonder if we will have the same logcat result? the suspense is killing me)


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - PakoSt - 01-20-2020

Will check tomorrow morning and report


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - PakoSt - 01-21-2020

@aaspectre , same with that arm64 android image from Anbox: https://pastebin.com/yqCJFH2Z

Lots of NULLs as well  Dodgy I don't have enough free space on my current machines to spend on building an android image but lets see. Maybe something else will yield better results.

Other:
Steps I've taken to start the container and session:
- In one terminal: ``` ➜ ~ sudo ANBOX_LOG_LEVEL=debug anbox container-manager --daemon --privileged --data-path=/var/lib/anbox```
- Second terminal ```➜ ~ ANBOX_LOG_LEVEL=debug anbox session-manager --gles-driver=host --single-window --window-size=640,320```
-Third terminal to launch adb logcat


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - aaspectre - 01-21-2020

im starting the frankly massive android build tools download again right now, should have started it last night since i pretty much knew i'd need it. ill share when/if i produce something successfully

sidenote: i got a notification that my "reputation has been modified", in those words. wow, i really like that, it makes it seem like a "like" is a high honor. i am honored.


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - tophneal - 01-21-2020

Cool! Do you know what version the tools will try to build? I've read that Anbox uses 7.1.2 images, and haven't seen any mention of anyone using newer images. It'd be interesting if it can be done.

Haha, yea, the rep is a great reward system for quality content. I'm sure to pass one out anytime I see someone sharing something of quality, whether I understand it or not.


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - aaspectre - 01-21-2020

well, considering the anbox guide recommends it, i assume that there is a way to build a version that it requires.


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - aaspectre - 01-25-2020

i haven't forgotten about this, i am just in the middle of moving countries for a couple months so i'm a bit busy. i will give this a crack tonight and if i'm not initially successful (to give you an idea, i have never actually built an android image before) it will have to wait till next week, but after that i have a lot a lot of free time so i'll put some real time into it if necessary.


RE: Anyone tried Anbox-4-arm64 yet? - tophneal - 01-25-2020

No worries! I put it on the back burner, too. Been focusing on getting skins hammered out from prototype to polished commercial product. I know I can do that, and much faster than anything I'd try concerning Anbox.

They make it look easy to compile Android, especially from Ubuntu. I hope your efforts tonight are successful!
