Recommended to install Waydroid in a brand new Ubuntu 25.04 install. Waydroid needs a custom linux kernel. Actually just needs latest kernel for WSL2 with just these changes before compiling:
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"
| # | |
| # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT. | |
| # Linux/x86 5.7.0 Kernel Configuration | |
| # | |
| CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2) 9.2.1 20191008" | |
| CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC=y | |
| CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=90201 | |
| CONFIG_LD_VERSION=233000000 | |
| CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION=0 | |
| CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y |
| 1. Ubuntu WSL2 must be already installed in C: system drive and user should be able to call windows binaries like wsl.exe from bash. | |
| 2. We will install Alpine WSL2 distro in an external partition/disk: | |
| Download Alpine from here: | |
| https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL/releases/download/3.11.5-1/Alpine.zip | |
| Extract the files in an external partition/disk. (for example D:\Alpine) | |
| Make sure WSL2 is enabled by default (wsl.exe --set-default-version 2) | |
| Inside the Alpine folder run Alpine.exe to install the Distro. An ext4.vhdx file will be created in that same folder. |
