Install script fails unless the xaml and vclib commands are removed and pico apps and beta or stable magisk

[kpcintegrations]

I've been building these in WSL2 ubuntu and I've tried a lot of combinations. It seems to only work with the newest WSA build if using pico gapps and beta or stable magisk. Also if I don't remove the ADD-AppxPackage lines from Install.ps1 Terminal just crashes and nothing happens. All other methods have WSA loading screens that stay for a few minutes and disappear with nothing loaded or installed. Any ideas?

[iamLazyCode]

atleast it works for you with gapps , mine never builds gapps and fails always

As for OpenGApps, pico is the only supported variant for version 11.0 (which is what this repo uses). If you want something else, you'll need to build OpenGApps yourself.

As for Magisk, any version should work.

As for the Install.ps1 issue, no issue arises on my end.

I personally only use the latest WSA build, as they're actually stable releases and simply misnomers. There should be no reason to go to earlier builds, they're not more stable.

I did this several months ago when the old repo wasn't banned yet. You can get the pre-builts from here: https://github.com/PeterNjeim/MagiskOnWSA/releases/latest. I offer the Full variant for x86_64 builds.

Not sure to be honest

Not sure to be honest. Regardless, I made my fork a long time ago specifically because I disagreed with MagiskOnWSA's philosophy of making people build it themselves. It was slow, redundant, and abusive to GitHub. Now they make people build it themselves locally, again, redundant and slow. I recommend just using the builds I offer, or if the build you want isn't available, to fork my repo and build the specific variant you want.

have forked let me test it out , what if in future I want build specific what steps would I need

You shouldn't fork it unless you want to build something that isn't available. Just give a star instead :). If you want to build something specific, go to the Actions tab, then the Build MagiskOnWSA workflow, then click Run workflow, then choose the options you want

simply superb man, ur a savior.... will test it right away

If I don't remove the ADD-AppxPackage lines from Install.ps1 Terminal just crashes and nothing happens.

What is your system version? Windows 11 22H1 or 22H2?

[kpcintegrations]

I've been trying to get this to work both with a release from your repo and WSAGAppsScript and doing it manually. Either way it fails to launch both Magisk and Google Play upon install. Also I was hoping to edit some apps in the system_ext.img file to remove restrictions, and I don't quite know how to edit the workflows or source to make those changes. I've been installing your release build and then attempting to edit system_ext.img and reload WSA, but that doesn't work either. Is there some trick to this to get it to accept custom apks and such?

I'm on the newest Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel Build.

@kpcintegrations

I'm not sure what you mean by "custom APK". I'm almost certain you know how to sideload apps via ADB, so it seems like you're trying to modify system APK's? In which case I have no experience with that.

Also, before you report anything to me, please fully uninstall WSA. Maybe your WSA is in a "glitched" state like a few others were, and fully uninstalling has fixed it for those people. Please note that this will remove every speck of data related to WSA, so make a backup if you desire.

Also, please tell us your Windows build number, by typing winver in the start menu.

Just for clarity, if you install one of my releases, and don't modify anything system-wise, does WSA launch at all? Like try opening the "Files" app, it's the first option in the Windows Subsystem for Android settings (find it in the start menu). Or is it just Magisk and the Google Play store failing to launch.

Also, before you report anything to me, please go to the README page in my repository and follow the "Uninstallation" instructions exactly. Maybe your WSA is in a "glitched" state like a few others were, and following every step of the uninstallation has fixed it for those people. Please note that this will remove every spec of data related to WSA, so make a backup (backup instructions are in my README as well) if you desire.

Yes by custom apk, I mean one that's been pulled from the img files, decompiled, edited, recompiled, and then replaced in the same img file and location it came from.

If I go the run.sh method, only pico opengapps and editing the install.ps1 file to remove the xaml and vclibs install Add-AppxPackage commands lets the script run in powershell via windows terminal. Otherwise it crashes because apps are open that are using the resources and for some reason -ForceCloseApps parameter doesn't work on my build, just crashes terminal. If I do all of that it will run, but any other combination did not work. And it seems spotty. I've uninstalled and installed a billion times now and only sometimes does magisk and play store actually load. Half the time it will install hang on the two loading WSACLients and then crash and no apps will open until a uninstall reinstall.

On Win 11 25206.1000 by the way.

Just to be clear, when you say "uninstall", you mean fully uninstalled? Or just clicking the "uninstall" button for WSA.

You can edit system files similarly to how a Magisk module does, first step is to place the files in your desired Android /system location in the git repository itself. second step is to edit the build.sh to modify the files to have the correct attributes.

The LSPosed repository requires pico opengapps since they still rely on the old 11.0 builds of opengapps. If you want a different version of opengapps, you'd have to build it yourself using the pull request for Android 12.1/12L.

The xaml and vclibs issue is still a mystery to me, can only assume it's due to the dev channel build.

Edit: I updated my repository to include the latest changes from this repository (which includes the fix for this issue). Maybe you can test out my new builds and see if they work without modifying the Install.ps1 file

Yes, lengthy version of uninstalling. And I will try it out.

Also if I want to replace an apk that's already in the system.img file is that the same process? Would I put it in the repository with the same path it has when mounted? I.E. system_ext/priv-app/apkName.apk or can it be anywhere as long as I reference it in the build script?

[PeterNjeim]

I'd assume it has to be in the specific location in the git repository. So just make a new folder called "system_ext" in the same level as the "system" folder in the hierarchy.

Like x86_64/system/system_ext

or it might actually be x86_64/system/system/system_ext, not sure.

Also make sure your custom APK is for x86_64 architecture
