Then I installed some apps necessary for my experiment. First update playstore, gmail and drive, which are the very native tools on your machine, and also accessible from a browser on your host OS, may be your only 'multiplatform tool' that works. So I moved on to the googled and started Google Play Store. I set the time and the date and it did not work. "There was an error parsing the package." There's no way around it. Now I want to hold the installation as de-googled as possible, but F-droid does not install. I also activated shared clibboard but does not work. First if you want to backup, clone the OS and select the proper path for the v-disk. (dear forum admins, please move this post to "linux networking" as most of the problems of this project are network-related) Please select the v-disk path to a drive with lots of space or it will fill the valuable /home partition. 2G RAM + 2 core CPU is enough for such a lightweight OS and it will more depend on your drive speed. Note that due to the use of resources on installation, you might want to give extra resources to the machine. Power off, set boot priority in favor of v-disk. Install /system as read/write? if yes, installation takes longer, it's easier to DEBUG (which may be important in our project) Format it to "ext3", ext4 is available in later version of the distro. do not flag bootable.Ĭontinue the wizard. Using keyboards, move to New tab to create a new partition and select 'Write' tab. The wizard prompts you if you want to use GPT. You need to partition your virtual hard disk. Launch (start) your VM, it will boot in virtual live CD V-box is easy to work with lots of options.

I stick to 4.4.ĭo not expect much from this application. The best option for me in android-4.4-r5-x86 and 5.0 was also nice. The OS will become very sluggish with Google Play Store malfunctioning and not loading. So there is some use for this application.įrom various versions of the distro, android-9.0r2-x86 did not run well and ended up in an android shell page.įrom android 6.0 it's very slow and the mouse pointer becomes laggy. Many apps do not let you login using linux version, or in my case, 1 android device less and virtualized the better. There will be some uses for this application. For those who want to help, I'm posting the procedure to make the perfect android virtual machine. or test on a fresh installation of OS with no data on it. rpm packages on reference WILL mess up your linux installation. When I learned V-box, I understood that android-x86 is meant to run V-box.

I purchased my first smartphone 2 years later. it was 2014 I guess and back then android and android-x86 were under heavy development. Greetings fellow nerds, a few years back I used to play around with virtualbox, and to be honest the first time I tried android, it was some android-x86 and I used it as live CD, to use instagram, as it was very limited back then in web version.
