Problems with anbox - Browser and email.

Hi Shuntcap.
Thank you for post these instructions : Topic below

https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36525.0


I followed your guide. Except that I didn't build an android image.

But when I did systemctl --global enable anbox-session-manager the error below occurs.
cosmo@cosmocom:~$ systemctl --global enable anbox-session-manager
/usr/lib/systemd/user/anbox-session-manager.service:1: Missing '='.
Failed to enable unit, file anbox-session-manager.service: Invalid argument.

So I did an script like below and it is working.

cosmo@cosmocom:~$ more anbox.sh
sudo systemctl start  anbox-container-manager
systemctl --user start anbox-session-manager
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gl4es/lib anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity

To test if the network was working I had to install a text browser and It works ( TJ text browser ).
With firefocus ( also firefox )  and other browsers the screen is black.
Also with the pre loaded email software it only loads the messages and I cannot open them. Also witth k-9 mail program. Same behaviour.

Only to know if these errors are happening with you.
Maybe the problem is with the android image. ( I don´t think it is the image, plaease see my note below )
I really would like to know if there is a possibility to install playstore inside the image you have provided.
This will help to install some apps that need google plays ervices and other dependencies.
Thank you so much.
 Note : tested with https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=anbox

Same behaviour with the android image above.

Only to know.
I have tested a lot of browser and none are working in anbox.
For email client fairmail was the only that worked correct.
