The tutorial on installing Android x86 using virtual machines is found on the Internet, but most of them are 4.0. There are some discrepancies with the installation of 4.2. Here I will sort out my own installation process, for everyone to learn and exchange.
Software preparation:
Oracle virtualbox 4.2.10
Android 4.2.2 x86 ISO
For more information about android4.2.2, see the following description:
The beta version 20130228 is released based on the latest Android 4.2.2 (Jb-x86 ). We have fixed and added the specified x86 code to make the system run smoothly. It can run stably on most x86 platforms, especially tablets and netbooks.
1. Use the new kernel 3.8.0 to support more models.
2. chipset and Intel (excluding chip and PVR) for graphics cards that use OpenGL ES hardware acceleration ). You can disable it to add hwaccel = 0 to cmdline. If you are in trouble, do not use it.
3. Supports multi-touch, WiFi, audio, accelerometer, camera and backlight control.
4. Simulate the SD card through internal storage.
5. the USB driver and SD card are installed automatically.
6. Multi-User Support (up to 8 ).
7. Supports Ethernet (DHCP ).
8. Supports VM Virtual boxes.
Therefore, it may fail to be installed or started on some hosts (the previous version 4.2 cannot be started on the author's computer, but the installation is normal ).
Next, go to the installation page. You can see the installation instructions.
Generally, dynamic points are recommended.
Here, vbox is installed on drive C by default. Note that.
Enter settings below
Select the downloaded Android x86 image.
Run the VM.
Generally, all settings are set.
Press enter. Flags = boot.
Ext3 is used here. Some online tutorials say that the file system format is the same as that of the original hard disk. I have tried NTFS, but unfortunately it can be installed but cannot be started.
You can select "no", but you 'd better select "yes", because we need to change the startup parameters later, such as the resolution or something.
In the installation tutorial of 4.0, it is different here. 4.0 will allow you to create an SD card (in fact, the hard disk is used as the SD card), but 4.2 does not, in fact, by default, all the allocated hard disk space is used as the SD card. Let's skip reboot and set it first:
In this way, you will no longer enter the installation interface. Of course, you can choose to start the project by pressing F12.
If you see this interface, it indicates that the installation is successful. As for whether or not the installation can be performed, some CPU may not be supported or not ,,,
In the next article, we will talk about the modification of startup parameters, and we will talk about the most practical resolution change.
