OMG! This just happened...

I downloaded Manjaro ARM rootfs from here and extracted the contents into /home/nemo/Manjaro .

I mounted some stuff and chrooted in.

Code:

devel-su
cd Manjaro
mount --bind /dev dev
mount --bind /sys sys
mount --bind /proc proc
mount --bind /dev/pts dev/pts
mount --bind /run run
chroot ./

Then, I updated and installed some packages.

Code:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S plasma chromium plasma-wayland-session weston onboard

Note, I don't know which of these are actually necessary. You might not need weston.

Then, I created a directory in /run/user and exported some environment variables.

Code:

mkdir /run/user/1001
export $(dbus-launch)
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001

Then, I did this:

Code:

kwin_wayland --xwayland &

... and an XWayland window opened!

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
chromium --no-sandbox &

and Chromium browswer launched in the window, with full multitouch input! Touch-scrolling, pinch to zoom, and all that jazz. No onscreen keyboard though, when I try to type a URL.

Hmm

Code:

onboard &

And now I have Text input! I can install uMatrix in Chromium! Yaaaaaay!

One caveat, it looks like it's trying to draw a 1024x768 window on the 768x1280 screen (Nexus 4, portrait mode). It's cropped on the right side, and doesn't fill the whole vertical space.

Anybody know how to set the screen resolution for XWayland?

Damn, this comes late, I needed this two hours ago before installing aliendalvik on a Nexus5

Great news, really great!

There appears to be a --width and --height option for the kwin_wayland command (and they default to the dimensions you mention):

YOU ROCK!

"xwin_wayland --width 768 --height 1280 --xwayland" did the trick!

The next step would be to package everything so that the non techies can also profit from it.

Do things like sound, video work?

A reminder for who wants to try, be careful with the BIND mounts, deleting stuff from folders (for example /proc/) by mistake, can mess up your 'normal' SFOS installation

Really interesting !
Would it work on SFOS Ports aswell ?

Also I'm a noob in linux and it's commands so can someone explain me what kind of apps we would be able to run with this ?

Thank you.

It runs on a Nexus 4, so it works on Sailfish ports!
