Genymotion Android Simulator Installation Tutorial: 1, install Virtualbox and Android SDK and other basic software:

Since Genymotion is primarily intended for Android developers rather than regular players, it is slightly more complex to install. Because it is based on the VirtualBox virtual machine, that is, before using it to install a VirtualBox on the computer, in addition, the Android SDK (Android Development Kit) is also essential, but you do not have to configure the official SDK to run the emulator in the text, You just download it and unzip it into a plain English directory. In later use, the VirtualBox and Android SDK are basically behind the scenes heroes.

2. Install the Genymotion Simulator:

Once the Virtualbox and Android SDK are ready, you can download and install the latest version of the Genymotion emulator (at the end of this article), and then double-click the desktop icon to launch the emulator when you're done. However, you will also need to register an account with Genymotion's US website and verify the activation of the mailbox to continue the next step.

You can now start adding virtual machines to the emulator. Click "Add" to add a new virtual Android device, which will pop up the following window:

Click the "Connect" button in this window and enter your username and password to log in. But sometimes because of the soil and Sik Sik yuen reasons, you will find that the dead and alive are not logged on, then only to find a good agent or Wei farts or a period of time to try again.

After the successful login, the list will appear in a variety of models for you to choose to download (). Select the virtual Android model and system version you want, such as Galaxy S4, Galaxy Nexus God horse as you like, click Next to download.

Clicking Next will let you name the virtual Android device (), rename it to your liking, and click Next again to start the download.

After the virtual device download is complete, you will see the virtual device already downloaded in the main interface Your the Vsan devices list.

If you are unable to log in and download due to network problems, and can not find a good ladder, but also directly download the virtual machine provided by the offline OVA file for import can be, the following will be mentioned. Then in the list, select the virtual device you want to launch, click the Wrench icon to set the virtual machine, such as how much memory to allocate, set the resolution and so on, such as.

After OK, click the Play button to start running the virtual machine. But for the first run, genymotion may also ask you to set the path to the Android SDK, which you can choose to follow your actual path.

Then your Android virtual device will start up! Then, there is no then, despite the full of the computer to run all kinds of Android software good to flirt with them! By default, the keyboard ESC is the back key of the virtual machine, F1 is the menu key, and of course, you can also use the mouse to press the virtual button.

Genymotion Simulator installs Google Apps (Google Play Marketplace) and arm library tutorials:

If you are downloading virtual machines directly from Genymotion, you will find that they lack the Google Play market and other Google services applications, in fact, because of copyright issues, from the beginning of the 2.0 version of the genymotion provided by the virtual device has been removed from the Google App s and ARM library support, so if the virtual machine downloaded from the software is running some apps that must rely on these components to run, there will be errors or flashbacks, such as prompting "install_failed_cpu_abi_ incompatible"error, so here are 2 solutions for you:

1. Download and import the OVA file containing the virtual machine with Google Apps

In fact, when using the Genymotion simulator, you can import the local OVA virtual machine files into the simulator in addition to downloading the virtual machine in the software. As a result, we have uploaded the previous 1.3 version of the OVA file with Google Apps that contains Google services for everyone to download (at the end of the article), which not only allows you to use Google Apps in your Android virtual machine, but also makes it easy for the internet to crawl. Sik Sik Yuen's classmates use it.

After you have finished downloading the OVA file, directly double-click the file to import to VirtualBox (such as), after the import is completed in VirtualBox can modify the name of the virtual machine, and then switch off and then start genymotion will see in the list of the newly imported virtual machine, The use of these GAPPS virtual machines running software is generally no problem.

2. Tutorials for installing the corresponding version of Google Apps and ARM translation Installer for virtual machines

Of course, if you really want to use the software itself to download a new version of the virtual machine to be used or not, just install the corresponding system version of Google Apps and ARM translation Installer, here is the easy way to install them:

1. Download ARM translation Installer v1.1
2. Download the downloaded zip file (do not unzip) directly into the virtual machine to install, after the completion of the virtual machine "shut down" to re-open, do not directly close the window
3. Download the corresponding system version of Google apps:4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1; (4.4 There may be bugs)
4. Likewise, do not unzip the zip file, drag and drop it to the virtual machine for installation, and restart the virtual machine
5. The Google Play market and other Google Apps will appear after success
6. Sign in to your Google account, open the market, and go to "My Apps" to upgrade everything inside.
7. Finally, try searching for "google drive" and installing it, if normal, it means that both ARM support and Google Play are installed
8. You will not be able to install or apply any more errors.

Genymotion Simulator Install apk software method:

If the Genymotion simulator already has a Google Play store installed, you can download the software directly in it, and the new version of Genymotion can also support direct drag-and-drop APK files to the virtual device for installation. Alternatively, you can download the APK for installation directly from the built-in browser or download and install some third-party Android Market to your liking. Other about the use of Android itself here is not much to say, we still have to experience it!

Write in the back:

According to the actual trial, Genymotion is indeed the fastest Android simulator , the use of smooth, system resource consumption is low, so the practicality is very high! Whether it's for testing Android software on a computer, playing an Android game, or for mobile app development, Genymotion is perfect. It also makes it more versatile for personal use (paid editions that also offer premium features) plus cross-platform support for Windows, Macs, and Linux.

It is worth noting that genymotion must be able to run well on a computer with a CPU-enabled virtualization. In addition, although most of the time is very fast, but for the performance of individual games is sometimes less than  BlueStacks , but overall, genymotion good performance is left to our deep impression. Don't miss out on friends who like to play with the simulator or want to run Android software on their computer!
