Individual Start Menu Shortcuts Can Work In Desktop Mode

[DanielLester83]

I figured out how to make the shortcuts work.

1. Make a script at /home/deck/Android_Waydroid/Wrapper/waydroid
   `#!/bin/bash

if [ $1 = "app" ] && [ $2 = "launch" ]
then
/home/deck/Android_Waydroid/Android_Waydroid_Cage.sh $3
else
/usr/bin/waydroid "$@"
fi`

2. chmod +x /home/deck/Android_Waydroid/Wrapper/waydroid

3. make a path changer as root at /etc/profile.d/Waydroid.sh
   `#!/bin/sh

export PATH="/home/deck/Android_Waydroid/Wrapper/:$PATH"`

4. restart all shells/reboot

Some issues are that all lock screens and launch on startup apps will still open first if any are enabled.

An odd sound plays when it boots, possible hardware initialization.

Also the notification pull down appears at launch

I think you meant to format it like this? Correct me if I'm wrong though I don't blame you though, the GitHub markdown thing is pretty weird lol (you can see in the edits I also got it wrong a few times 😅)

Yeah, at a glance that looks better formatted than the original post

Just noticed I messed it up AGAIN lol, GitHub formatting is crazy.

@ryanrudolfoba can you consider adding this script by default on installation? Since it causes no harm, I don't see why not. :)

I would recommend this improvement to the script:

#!/bin/sh

if [ $1 = "app" ] && [ $2 = "launch" ]; then
    shift 2
    exec "$HOME/Android_Waydroid/Android_Waydroid_Cage.sh" "$@"
else
    exec /usr/bin/waydroid "$@"
fi
