NJoy Android experience! If you need any assistance or latest tech tips, get a hold of me geeknizer on twitter. I have my “host” key (the key that transfers control of the keyboard and mouse from the guest to the host OS and has some other functions) on VirtualBox set up as the right windows key, so got this layout: Arrows However I found some were different on my setup. Navigating your way around is done with a combination of using the mouse and some special keys, these are documented here. For some reason you get a warning about 15% battery power left, but dismissing this gets you into the Android environment. With this selected you should see that Android boots up. You may have to Add this to the Virtual Media Manager first to make it available. Select the LiveAndroid CD image that you made earlier. Start the virtual machine for the first time, you will be prompted to boot from a CD image. Click “Finish” to complete basic set up of the virtual machine, now click on “Display” and check that the video memory is set to 8MB. You will be shown a warning message about bootable media after this but just click “Continue”. Note: You don’t need a virtual hard disc image for this machine, as the whole thing will run off the Live CD so when you are on the configuration page for this uncheck “Boot Hard Disk (Primary Master)” to stop VirtualBox creating any disc image. When prompted for the base memory RAM size you can enter 300MB (300MB is more than what it would expect). Click on “New” and Give a name like “Android Mobile”, select “Linux” for the operating system and “Linux 2.6” for the version. Now create a new “Virtual machine” in VirtualBox/VMWare. In case you have trouble doing it, check this. On Linux, you can run this command: cat liveandroidv0.2.iso.001 liveandroidv0.2.iso.002 > liveandroidv0.2.iso On Windows, you can use PowerISO to combine the ISOs. The files liveandroidv0.2.iso.001 and liveandroidv0.2.iso.002 from the project site.

The project has been running for just a couple of months, but they have already achieved an image that delivers Android, with support for the mouse since their v0.2 release. The project to create a Live CD of Android is called LiveAndroid and can be found at Google Code.
#RUN ANDROID EMULATOR ON VMWARE MAC PC#
It’s been known for some time that it is possible to run Android on x86 hardware with a port for the Netbooks like Asus EEE PC appearing earlier this year, but it was very difficult until now to get Android running on other hardware or virtual machines. A new Project has developed that will enable you to try this new Mobile OS in a Virtual machine environment such as VirtualBox, VMWare or any other computer that could be booted of a CD or a USB stick.
