Hi again, Jim!
Got distracted by some other things, but I have a partial success to this!
Managed to build a custom kernel and after some messing with waydroid it
seems to work just fine. You can find my work repo here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:shorberg:branches:Kernel:stable/kernel-source
Steps necessary to try out (coming from your packages):
1. Remove anbox-modules-dkms
2. install kernel-default from linked repo
3. boot to new kernel
4. run reinit waydroid `waydroid init -f <etc>`
5. for me it mounted /dev/binderfs with wrong permissions, fixed by
`chmod 777 /dev/binderfs`
I'll continue to test it in the coming days to make sure all is working
as it should.
Best regards,
Sebastian
