Also it's a bit boring that I have to recompile the kernel, that means every time I update the kernel I'll have to recompile it with the modules?

What OS are you using? It might be helpful to ask on their forums for direction regarding this. The git issue is pretty all over the place, but if you're on Arch/Manjaro, you should be able to follow the updated install instruction in the Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Anbox

Yeah I'm using Manjaro 5.8 atm...

Thanks for sending the wiki link it seems clearer but I'm still a bit confused, do I just have to modify the config file and reboot my pbp and it'll automatically recompile the kernel at reboot? it's a bit frustrating that their howto assumes I know how to build a kernel and where is said config file... I understand arch is for advanced users but it's still meh...

This write up should help, you'll just need to make sure you're using the right URLs, since this is a few months old: https://medium.com/@Leduccc/compiling-a-custom-linux-kernel-on-manjaro-f09aa103713f

This might be a dumb question. Are you guys using the nvme adaptor to expand your storage for these builds? If so is your os running from the ssd then?

No, my NVMe drive is nothing but shared data space. the most it gets used for Anbox is the archiving of android.imgs

Ok. So then with building something that would take 100 gb, is that on the emmc? I'm still learning. My PBP is the 64gb version which is why I ask.

Are you trying to build your own android.img?

My Anbox files are all on my emmc (one of the 128s) or the SD card I have Manjaro installed on. My NVMe is dedicated to resources between OSes and large files. How you store you files is all on you and your preferences, though.

I would build it if I had to. Would be a cool experiment at this point for me. Just want to cover my bases before I do something stupid.

IIRC you cannot build the android.img within an aarch64 architecture. The tools Google uses to build Android are consistently only available on X86 (I tried when I got my PBP.) You'd have to build it on another PC.

Ahhh. Ok.
