Hello, I don't possess any Android device but I would like to be able to develop and test (maybe even use daily) Android apps nevertheless. I am pretty sure I could achieve that with Anbox[1] but there's one tiny problem: it requires me to provide an Android image to start with. Obviously, I want to use a fully deblobbed version of Android (i.e. 100% free software). I asked here[2] and there[3] and eventually learned there do exist updated versions of Replicant[4] that would perhaps be suitable for the task.
So my question is: does anyone know if a Replicant image can work with Anbox? Has anyone tried doing this? Does anyone know any "for" and "against"? Another issue with images is architecture support. I am currently on aarch64, so most Android images out there should work but just to be future-proof I would like to know about possibilities of building a deblobbed Android for other architectures (mainly x86_64). Just to make things clear - I only need the userspace of the Android image to be 100% free. Kernel and firmware are not to be run at all.
