Try adb, You can install android-tools by pacman to use adb.

I have the same problem, but a few weeks ago, it worked for me. Is there any other solution than using adb?

I figured out what wasn't working. I downloaded the ARM "Version", but it's quiet obviously that this won't work. As there is no 64_x86 Version of Nova Launcher, I had to go with libhoudini.

Hope this can help people :)

@MasterW00 if no further correspondence is done I will close the ticket

So you're saying you tired to install nova launcher and since you had no x86_x version you used linguini to install an arm version?

Oh I haven't tried adb. I don't have access to my machine to try this out yet. Does this mean the way droid install method is just sorta hit or miss?

As far as I know, ADB is a tool from the Android Developers to un/install Softwarer with your PC on your Phone, or, in this case, on Waydroid. But are you sure that it wasn't related to my Comment?

ADB is used for all sorts of communication with the android low level systems and I've used it on my phones for install. I'm sure I can route adb to use a waydroid dev and I think I've seen it but I don't exactly know if or how that comes together. I was just asking if it's normal that the waydroid install command has issues that adb will solve
