Waydroid Prop Options

Waydroid uses various properties in order to tell the underlying Android system how to behave in a few places. To do this, we use the waydroid prop set <property> <value> command. To unset a prop, waydroid prop set <property> "". Most settings require restarting the waydroid session to apply.
