    How does Waydroid works with background apps? Is it possible to launch a foreground app with waydroid then close it and discharge waydroid (to avoid battery drain) ?

      Yes but for apps like Signal or WhatsApp you probably want them running all the time (in the background) which is not practical with waydroid right now due to its high battery usage. Running one OS on top of another has its toll even its in a container and not a vm. But its okay for foreground apps.
