Waydroid setup for running Outerplane on Linux with Wayland. Includes all 2026 fixes for translation, Google cert, network sync, and anti-cheat.

1Prerequisites

Wayland compositor — GNOME / Plasma 6 / Sway
X11: run a nested Wayland session via cage
Kernel modules: binder_linux + ashmem_linux (via linux-zen or waydroid-dkms)

2Install Waydroid

Arch / Manjaro:

sudo pacman -S waydroid lzip python-pip sqlite3 git --needed

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y
curl -s https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash
sudo apt install waydroid -y

Fedora:

sudo dnf install waydroid

See Waydroid docs for other distros.

3Init with GAPPS

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS
sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container

4Translation Layer Setup

git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
cd waydroid_script && python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Install libndk (2026 Standard):

sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install libndk

5Google Certification Fix

Get your Android ID:

sudo waydroid shell -- sh -c "sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db \
  'select value from main where name=\"android_id\";'"

Wait 20 min to 24 hours for certification to propagate.

6Network Sync Fix (2026 "Ack Patch")

sudo waydroid shell <<EOF
ip link set eth0 mtu 1400
setprop persist.waydroid.fake_wifi '*'
settings put global private_dns_mode off
exit
EOF

7GPU Passthrough

waydroid prop set ro.hardware.egl mesa
waydroid prop set ro.hardware.gralloc gbm

8Anti-Cheat (Magisk)

sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install magisk

Then in Magisk:

Enable Zygisk
Add Outerplane to DenyList

92026 Splash-Screen Bypass

Only applies if using libhoudini as translation layer (some distros do not support libndk).

If stuck on the icon:

Set system date to Oct 2025
Launch the game
After "Tap to Start," restore the correct date

10Play Store / Final Launch Fix

sudo waydroid shell rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending
waydroid session stop
waydroid show-full-ui

Troubleshooting: Black Screen

High CPU (25%+)

Reinstall libndk translation layer.

NVIDIA GPU

waydroid prop set ro.hardware.egl swiftshader
