Version – Other Linux/Linux 2.6/Oracle – Make sure to select the correct bit version either 32 or 64 based on the file you downloaded earlier. I used the 64bit version.Ģ) Extract the files, you will be needing an unzipping program like 7zip or WinRAR for this.ģ) Create new Virtual machine with following configuration in Oracle VirtualBox Remember which version you are downloading, because we need to set up the virtual machine accordingly. When the virtual disk is created, the Virtual Disk Creation Wizard is closed and you are returned to the Summary step of the New Virtual Machine Wizard.

#VIRTUALBOX ANDROID IMAGE WINDOWS 10#

If your Windows 10 or 8.1 is 64bit version OS, then you can have both 64bit or 32bit. On the following steps, select VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) as the file type, Dynamically allocated as the storage details, and accept the defaults for the virtual disk file location and size, and then click Create to create the virtual disk.

Select the VirtualBox and 32 or 64-bit version. Make sure you have the latest version of VirtualBox.ġ) Download the latest Android Pre Installed VDI for VirtualBox here.Īs of now, the Android 8.1 Oreo is the latest Android-x86 version you can download from this website.

You can’t expect the same performance and user experience as an Android device inside the Virtual machine, but it is still okay to test the Android OS on PC and the apps if you do not have any Android device or can’t have the latest 8.1 version. I did however notice some other ARM virtual environments but did not look to see what platform they run on or how well they perform.We can simply download, extract and import it into VirtualBox as a virtual machine.

#VIRTUALBOX ANDROID IMAGE SOFTWARE#

So this software may not run as perfectly as intended.įurthermore, in looking at the VirtualBox documentation, it does not appear that it currently supports setting up an ARM environment.

You will not get the same book in English that reads the exact same way as the original. Its almost like translating a book from English to German, then to Russian, and back to English again. In my experience, when trying to do do anything that translates software back and forth, it almost always produces unwanted results. In other words, taking an Android OS based on and designed for ARM, that was ported to x86 and then want to go backwards and run an ARM VM to run ARM software. While Android x86 should run directly installed onto an x86 (Intel or AMD) platform or installed in a VM set up with a x86 virtual platform, what it sounds like is that you are going back and forth. Also, running an ARM VM inside a x86 platform that was originally designed for ARM may pose its own set of issues in terms of trying to install an ARM v7 virtual environment through a VM onto a x86 platform of an OS that was originally written for ARM, but then ported to x86. However, they announced this last year but may be a couple more years till they have a working port. Currently Apple and Microsoft has project to port their systems over to the ARM platform as ARM is the future. The only way to do this would be to create an ARM cpu VM environment.

#VIRTUALBOX ANDROID IMAGE CODE#

I am unaware of any software that will translate or run COMPLEX ARM software code like a 3D game, on a x86 platform outside of a VM at this current time as this type of software would imply running some kind of Live, real time porting which does not exist. Reboot the virtual machine but make sure that the image is not in the optical drive so it. ARM instruction code is completely different from x86 and how the two separate cpu's process it. Choose the sda1 partition and install android and well install grub. Also seams like you are wanting to run ARM software from a x86 platform and skip the VM environment altogether which may be impossible. You seamed to mention some software code TRANSLATORS but did not explain if they run in VM or not. While the latest version of Android x86 based on Oreo may be considered stable, there are still documented issues with some software components not working as well or not at all on this port as you would see and expect them to work on an OS originally designed from the ground up to run on x86 platform. Basically, Adroid x86 has a reworked kernel and HALs to enable it to run on a x86 platform.
