About Scripts

Scripts is a Python script for Linux that adds components to Waydroid, an Android environment, including OpenGApps, Magisk, the libndk and libhoudini ARM translation libraries, Widevine DRM (L3) integration, and Smart Dock. It can be run through an interactive terminal interface or through command-line commands. Each component is installed with a separate command, and the script requires the lzip package and sudo privileges.

The source gives several limits. The script replaces /system/framework/service.jar, which may prevent Waydroid from booting. The developers tested it on one specific lineage-18.1 image. The nodataperm option is described as a temporary workaround for an app data permission issue on Android 11. Google apps require the device ID to be registered with Google, which can take 10 to 20 minutes. Pricing is unknown.

Scripts FAQ

What does the script need before it runs?
The lzip package must be installed using the distribution's package manager. The README gives commands for Arch, Debian and Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE based systems.
What steps are needed to sign in to Google Play after installing OpenGApps?
After Waydroid boots, run the google command to get a numeric device ID. Register that ID on Google's uncertified device page, wait 10 to 20 minutes for registration, clear the Google Play Services cache, and then try logging in.
Could the script stop Waydroid from starting?
Yes. The warning states that the script replaces /system/framework/service.jar, which may prevent Waydroid from booting. The README says that if this happens, the script should be run again to recover.
