Fast emulator, comparable to that of iOS. add/change DPI=240).įinally, to enable proper mouse support, in VM settings (System tab) uncheck “Enable absolute pointing device”. vi /mnt/grub/menu.lst to add vga=864 (if your ‘hex’-value is 360) to the end of kernel boot parameters.ĭepending on what device you want to emulate (and probably current state of Android-x86 project) you might also want to change DPI (e.g.Translate the value to decimal notation (for example 360 hex is 864 in decimal).Find your resolution and write down/remember the ‘hex’-value for Mode column.In the next screen append vga=ask and press Enter.Figure out what is the ‘hex’-value for your VideoMode:.Here is how to do it (mostly copied from here):Īdd custom screen resolution: % VBoxManage setextradata "VM_NAME_HERE" "CustomVideoMode1" "480x800x16" To do that simply use a run configuration with target set to “Always prompt to pick device”.įix resolution because it is not mobile by default. So that adb (Android Debug Bridge) can connect to vm: % adb connect localhostĪt this point we’ve got a fully functional Android VM that we can deploy to from Eclipse. % VBoxManage modifyvm "VM_NAME_HERE" -natpf1 "adb,tcp,5555,5555" Setup port forwarding: % VBoxManage modifyvm "VM_NAME_HERE" -natpf1 "console,tcp,5554,5554" Let us go through the setup, as there are few hoops to be bear in mind.Ĭreate vm with sensible defaults (Other Linux, 512 Mb RAM, HD 2 GB). It ports Android on x86 platform so it can be installed on a PC or, more specific to our needs, on a VirtualBox VM. Next stop is more interesting - Android-x86. It barely promotes emulator from being a joke to “unbearably slow”. The first thing on that quest is a low hanging fruit of Virtual Machine Acceleration. The described yak shaving is about speeding up android emulator, as you might have already guessed. This post itself is yak shaving and as such makes a good example of meta yak shaving (it is, and describes yak shaving). I am very new to Android development, so a lot of yak shaving has to happen before I start producing anything useful. Lots of people suggested in comments that using KVM on Linux works just fine.Ī considerable amount of yak shaving, proportional to how big or new the next task is, normally accompanies my development activities. UPDATE Setting up VirtualBox only makes sense on OSX. ![]()
