VirtualBox How To
Download VMware images (vmdk, vhd) for free, which are installed by our team and ready to use for you. Download VMDK images for VMware: Android x86. Download VMware (VMDK) image, Visit Official Website.
The following are instructions on how to run Android-x86 inside VirtualBox.
Note: For optimal performance, make sure you have enabled either VT-x or AMD-V in your host operating system's BIOS.
Android-x86 versions tested against Virtualbox versions.
Date Tested | Virtualbox | Host OS | Android-x86 | Result |
---|---|---|---|---|
?? | 2.2.4 | Windows XP | ?? | Good |
?? | 3.0.2 | Fedora 11 | ?? | Good |
Nov. 2 2017 | 5.2.0 | Windows 10 | 6.0-r3 32/64 bit | Good |
Downloading
Download an ISO of Android-x86 from here.
Caution
If you are using Android-x86 for debugging purposes, some binaries (gdb for example) are built for 32-bit architectures and will not support debugging 64-bit binaries such as the Android app host. Download a 32-bit distribution instead.Create a new VM
If you have not already created a VirtualBox virtual machine for Android-x86 yet, do so as follows:
- Click the 'New' button, and name your new virtual machine however you like. Set Type to Linux, and Version to Linux 2.6 / 3.x / 4.x. Note that you should choose the appropriate bit type for the version of Android-x86 that you downloaded.
- Specify how much RAM will be allocated to your virtual machine when you run it. Android doesn't specify a bare-minimum requirement for memory, just keep in mind what apps you plan on running. 2GB (2048MB) is a good place to start, and you can change this later if you need to.
- Create a new Hard disk image which will act as your machine's storage. The recommended starting size of 8GB is enough. Click through the rest of the options for creating your Hard disk.
Settings
Tested on VirtualBox 64-bit for Windows, version 5.2.0. Android-x86 version 6.0-r3, both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Select your machine, then click the Settings button and refer to the below recommended configuration to make sure your settings match.
- [System]Recommended: Processor(s) should be set above 1 if you have more than one virtual processor in your host system. Failure to do so means every single app (like Google Chrome) might crush if you try to use it.
- [Display]:
- Optional: Video Memory may be increased beyond the minimum selected automatically. The affects of this are unknown.
- Optional: Enable 3D Acceleration may be checked. The Linux Guest Additions may need to be installed[1] to get any benefit from this.
- Mandatory: Unless guest additions are installed[1], change the default VMSVGA to VBoxVGA.
Failure to do so means you won't even be able to launch Android-X86 in the first place.[2]
- [Storage] Find the first 'Empty' item (this should have an icon of a CD). In the Attributes, click on the CD icon with a small down arrow, and pick 'Choose Optical Virtual Disk File...'. Specify the Android-x86 ISO that you downloaded.
- [Audio] Intel HD Audio seems to be natively supported in Android-x86.
- [Network] By default, your installation of Android-x86 will be able to automatically connect to the internet. If you do not want this, uncheck Enable Network Adapter under the Adapter 1 tab.
Install
Click the green Start arrow to power-on your virtual machine. You'll be presented with a list of options. Use the arrow keys to pick which one you want, then press Enter once the one you want is selected.
- If you don't want to install Android-x86 yet and just want to test it, pick one of the Live CD options (except for Debug mode).
- Pick the Installation option if you want your system to be installed to the virtual hard drive.
Partition
When you are prompted to Choose a partition:
- If you upgrade Android-x86 from a previous version, just select the existing partition. Agree to overwrite it when prompted.
- If this is a new VM, choose to Create/Modify partitions. Use Bootable but not GPT! This will cause the GRUB installation to fail later.
Continue through the installation. You should install GRUB when it prompts you do so. You may also leave /system as read and write when prompted.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your virtual machine and remove the ISO from the virtual CD drive. Once Android-x86 has loaded, you can perform the Android setup and begin using your machine.
Advanced
Custom partitions, SDCard
When booting Android-x86, you may specify which partitions represent the data and sdcard. On the boot menu, select an entry you would like to boot from, press TAB, then add the following as it suits your needs:Download Android Iso For Virtualbox
DATA=sda1 SDCARD=sda2 Press Enter to boot. These options specify user data (your setting, your uploaded applications, ...) go into /dev/sda1, and data saved in sdcard go into /dev/sda2.
If you build the ISO from source, you can add these options to bootable/newinstaller/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg.
Here is a note from David when using fdisk:
- Create a new virtual machine with a hard disk.
- Launch the Live ISO in Debug mode (I used android-x86-2.2-generic.iso) to get the commend prompt.
- 'fdisk /dev/sda', then type:
- 'n' (new partition)
- 'p' (primary partition)
- '1' (1st partition)
- '1' (first cylinder)
- 'xx' (choose the last cylinder, leaving room for a 2nd partition)
- 'w' (write the partition)
- Repeat #3, but call it partition 2, and use the remaining cylinders.
- 'mdev -s'
- 'mke2fs -j -L DATA /dev/sda1'
- 'mke2fs -j -L SDCARD /dev/sda2'
- Reboot ('reboot -f')
- At the boot menu, choose VESA, then hit TAB and type so that the end of the line reads: 'DATA=sda1 SDCARD=sda2'. (Only need for the generic target images, for VM target images, this is not needed)
- After booting (and of course disabling mouse integration via the machine menu), the SD card is read as unformatted, but you can format it by going to Settings > SD card & phone settings > Format SD Card, then Mount SD card.
- The SD card should now work!
DevTools application has a MediaScanner which (re)indexes your SD card for cases where you manually copied media over. This ensures that you see new images and/or music in the apps without having to reboot.
If you downloaded it from within android, the application asks the relevant service to index new files.
Playing music
This section describes two ways to upload music files into Android running on a vbox so you can play them by the Music app. Of course, you can save the files to the virtual disk mounted at /sdcard, as described above.
Upload files by adb
Adb is Android Debug Bridge, a tool to debug Android system. If you compile from source, it is located in out/host/linux-x86/bin/adb. Otherwise you can get it from Android SDK. Suppose the network of your vbox is OK, you can upload a file from your host by
ADBHOST=<ip of vbox> out/host/linux-x86/bin/adb push <a music file> /sdcard

You need to know the ip of your vbox. You can get it by Alt-F1 and netcfg. You may also need to reboot Android to see the uploaded files. Of course in this way you have to mount /sdcard to a virtual disk partion.Oracle Vm Iso Download
For complex network settings of the VirtualBox VM, you should refer to Debug How To on how to connect adb to the VM.Download Android Iso For Vm Windows 10
Upload files by wget
Download Android Iso For Vmware
You can also upload files by wget in the debug mode. In the debug mode shell, before entering Android,
# netcfg eth0 dhcp
# wget <url of a music file>
