Before you read on, please be wary though that 2 of these patches are mprotect related. Use it at your own risk. No one is responsible for bans.
Through painful times, finally we have Blue Archive running under Waydroid. And it runs surprisingly well too! And is also easy to get it running.
Before doing all of this, you need to have Waydroid with libhoudini installed. No, libndk does not work.
Guide
Installing Waydroid
I’ll just copypaste this from another blog of mine.
Here you go;
1) Install Waydroid
-Arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid
-Nix:
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/WayDroid
-Fedora:
sudo dnf install waydroid-Ubuntu/Debian/anything based on it:
sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y
curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash
sudo apt install waydroid -y-Anything else:
https://docs.waydro.id/usage/install-on-desktops
1.1) Run waydroid for the first time
Then open the GUI app, and paste the links for OTAs
System OTA: https://ota.waydro.id/system
Vendor OTA: https://ota.waydro.id/vendor
Pick variant as GAPPS, install. Then run waydroid show-full-ui once its complete.
2) Setup play store certification
sudo waydroid shellANDROID_RUNTIME_ROOT=/apex/com.android.runtime ANDROID_DATA=/data ANDROID_TZDATA_ROOT=/apex/com.android.tzdata ANDROID_I18N_ROOT=/apex/com.android.i18n sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"Paste the ID into:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified
Then wait for a few minutes and restart waydroid
3) Disable GUI keyboard
Waydroid by default shows the Android virtual keyboard when selecting an input field. To disable that, and only use the physical keyboard, turn off the following setting: Settings > System > Languages & input > Physical keyboard > Use on-screen keyboard
Installing translation layer
1) Prepare script to install the translation layer
git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
cd waydroid_script
python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt2) Get libhoudini(Intel):
sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install libhoudini2.1) Get libndk(AMD):
Not supported for this game. Do NOT use libndk. Performance should be usable on libhoudini since its a simple game.
UPDATE:IT’S SUPPORTED NOW! Install libndk:
sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install libndkInstalling the libhoudini patch for Blue Archive
Download this file:
https://github.com/user-attachments/files/15800844/scripton.txt
Then, run the commands below.
mv /path/to/file/scripton.txt /path/to/file/scripton.sh
chmod +x /path/to/file/scripton.sh
sudo ./path/to/file/scripton.sh
waydroid session stopThen, just install Blue Archive from Play Store and start up the game. It should work just fine. Screenshots:
Or, here is a video in action instead.
Libndk users
Refer to using this script instead of the libhoudini one.
