- enable systemd-resolved to actually answer queries on port 53 so that android can ask dns queries
    # add this line to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
    DNSStubListenerExtra=127.0.0.1^
    # then restart systemd-resolved
    sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

- setup users/groups needed for aliendalvik
    # create user+group that gets permissions for wayland-socket
    useradd -u 501000 -U aliendalvik-wayland
    groupmod -g 501000 aliendalvik-wayland

    # create aliendalvik-root user with UID and GID 500000
    useradd -u 500000 -U aliendalvik-root
    groupmod -g 500000 aliendalvik-root

    # own data directory
    mkdir -p /opt/alien/data/
    chown -R aliendalvik-root:aliendalvik-root /opt/alien/data/

    # set subuids (no clue how correct this actually is, but works)
    # might have to create those files
    touch /etc/subuid
    touch /etc/subgid
    usermod --add-subuids 100000-100000 --add-subgids 100000-100000 root
    usermod --add-subuids 100000-100000 --add-subgids 100000-100000 aliendalvik-root

    usermod --add-subuids YOUR_UID-YOUR_UID --add-subgids YOUR_UID-YOUR_UID root

- symlink from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 (alienaudioservice hardcodes some paths to lib64 :/)
    ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
  
- make sure pulseaudio is used instead of pipewire (pipewire for some reason stops working after a few minutes)
    systemctl --user mask pipewire
    systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket
    systemctl --user enable --now pulseaudio

- modify alienkeyboardservice binary to use the correct binder device
    use a hex editor to replace the NULL-terminated string /dev/puddlejumper with /dev/binder
