Looks sexy. Seems to be very similar to installing a normal Linux distro.
I'll be trying this out come Saturday.

This looks very nice. Thanks, Tommy boy. (Jul 9, 2014 05:37 PM)ѕнα∂σω Wrote: Looks sexy. Seems to be very similar to installing a normal Linux distro. It is indeed very similar to installing a normal Linux distro. Be sure to choose Linux 2.6/3.X (32bit) when installing Android-x86. It can be confusing when you get to that very first step. Let me know how it goes! (Jul 9, 2014 05:40 PM)Kosmos Wrote: It is indeed very similar to installing a normal Linux distro. Be sure to choose Linux 2.6/3.X (32bit) when installing Android-x86.

I'd rather use something like fdisk rather than cfdisk. Although for a beginner tutorial like this it's probably better to use something that is similar to a GUI.

This may sound silly, or I could have missed something in VB, but, what is the VB equivalent of pressing the power button? It went (what appears to be) sleep mode, and wont resume. Any way to turn back on short of reboot?
Edit: After setup, of course, I disabled Screen Timeout and went into Dev Options and disabled it there as well, but, an answer would still be beneficial. Thanks.

I did not know about Genymotion, thank you for telling me about it. This is the official x86 port of Android's operating system, it is not an emulator. I'm sure the emulator is much faster, though. Does it have all Android features? (Jul 16, 2014 04:41 PM)Kosmos Wrote: I did not know about Genymotion, thank you for telling me about it. This is the official x86 port of Android's operating system, it is not an emulator. I'm sure the emulator is much faster, though. Does it have all Android features? It has every feature that BlueStacks has, and more. I'm not sure how much you've messed around with BlueStacks, but you can in fact get a rooted version of BlueStacks. The interface is the same exact Android interface, rather than having the typical 'BlueStacks feel'. This is essentially what Genymotion is. It's fast, it's great. He's a 'quick' way to get Genymotion up and running. 1. Download and install Genymotion with Virtualbox grouped together here. 2. Download the custom Virtual Device here, containing Google Play Store already installed. Otherwise, you'll have to flash the ARM Translation/upload the Gapps. Basically a long process, so don't worry about that and just grab that virtual device above. 3. Once everything is installed, ensure Genymotion is closed. Open Virtualbox, and go to File > Import Appliance (Ctrl + I) > Select the virtual device you've downloaded above and import it. When it's all said and done, close out VB and open Genymotion. You'll see that custom virtual device that is running Android 4.2.2. 4. Start it up, and you're good to go. :D ![[Image: banner-500x90-2.e423b5a2.png]](https://members.ogads.com/build/assets/banner-500x90-2.e423b5a2.png) |
