#### 4) Disabling on screen keyboard #### 4) Running ARM apps
ARM apps won't work at first if you have a x86 CPU, it'll say the app is incompatible for your device when trying to install it. To use arm apps you need to install a translation layer. It's recommanded to use `libndk` on AMD CPUs and `libhoudini` on Intel CPUs. To do that:
```bash
yay -S waydroid-script-git
sudo waydroid-extras install libndk
# or
sudo waydroid-extras install libhoudini
sudo systemctl restart waydroid-container.service
```
And if you're interested in learning more about Intel houdini you can have a look at [this presentation](https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2029/DEF%20CON%2029%20presentations/Brian%20Hong%20-%20Sleight%20of%20ARM%20-%20%20Demystifying%20Intel%20Houdini.pdf), and in [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdd8dSifxvU)
