Probably just wait, this initial setup is really depending on your device. Like 30-45 minutes on my oneplus 5. In your android settings have a look at the growing size of used storage for the Nix-on-Droid app.

I waiting for 12 hours but Nix on Droid not change to other prep steps

Oh okay, that sounds wrong. Can you check if the storage size increased? Just to make sure, it downloads anything. Maybe your internet speed is slow but tbh I don't what could cause that kind of long build times.

The flake setup is usually a bit slower than the channel one, you could try if that is making a difference but otherwise I am out of ideas.. @t184256 ?

It's not gonna grow during evaluation, is it?

Two ideas:

1. to build a bootstrap tarball with -vvv in the right place and debug further, but it'll show where it's stuck and not why it's stuck and likely won't help us
2. if it's some super-aggressive power management at play, try to follow the steps from https://dontkillmyapp.com, then restart the installation, acquire wakelock through the notification and see whether that helps

[Gerschtli]

You are probably right..

After acquire wakelock and enabling don't disable background process for Nix on Droid setup operations can done
