Has anyone ever been able to run the intel's image they use for the Android emulator on Vmware or Virtualbox? The x86 acceleration makes the emulator a lot faster, but for sophisticated networking the emulator pales in comparison to vmware or vbox.
I tried downloading the image and making an iso out of it, but it wouldn't boot. I'm wondering if there might be some specific settings in the Android Emulator provided by Google to allow it to boot and then run the system image.
And yes, I've heard of android-x86 project. Their android 4.2.2 iso is extremely buggy. The 4.0 one is nice but I need 4.2.2
Any help would be extremely helpful!

Hi,
I came across a video of running ubuntu on the tegra 2 powered AC100 a while back and today I was just thinking if it would be possible to run pc games such as mass effect 2 on the AC100 / other tegra 2 devices using the wine or crossover games applications.
I just had the idea today where you can use something like a lg g2x (or future tegra 3 devices) as a complete all in one device where you dual boot android and ubuntu and maybe even play pc games.
I know it's super crazy but I was wondering about it and got curious enough to ask a question on here. So apologies if it's dumb question.
The only possibility would be if Windows 8 will work on ARM and game publishers would then release games compiled for that. Then an ARM version of wine could be capable of running those. But right now all released Windows binaries are x86 or x86-64, it's impossible to run those on an ARM processor, except in an emulator. Which wine is not.
What about the following youtube users?

youtube.com/user/DamionYates2
They seem to be running windows (x86) programs on ARM devices (n900 runs on an old OMAP and AC100 on tegra 2)
The second video mentions qemu, which is an emulator. The first video mentions winegcc and compiling source. So it's not an x86 binary, but Windows code compiled into an ARM binary. It seems winegcc makes this possible. But that won't help you for apps where you don't have the source code.
Would it not be possible to create an android console from a laptop or similar piece of hardware. I'm thinking you would install android x86 on it and plug in some usb controllers. i have already tried this to some extent in virtual box and on an old laptop. The problem would come when you tried to run and arm based apps or games on it. Though there is a version of android x86 that has arm emulation, I could not get any fps games working as most of them would crash upon launching. And the one I did get working lagged in the main menu and the screen just went white when the campaign was launched. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Interested
I am very interested in this also. I dont know anything about your specific probem but I am thinking about if its possible to emulate the entire ouya console itself. What do you think? Do you know anthing about this?
Hello guys can I make my Surface PRO dual boot between Android X86 and Windows 8?
If yes how do I do that?

I've recently started using BlueStacks. It installs an emulator and will run some Android apps, but it is buggy. The only app I use through it regularly is SimpleMind and it works perfectly.
I second the BlueStacks suggestion, or yoh can run VirtualBox and load up Android x86 as a virtual machine. However, if two Bluestacks will run much faster.

I've not seen Bluestacks as faster than a VM like Genymotion. However, being a recent Nexus 10 convert to the SP2, I do like Bluestacks better.
While Bluestacks is a bit slower, it's not that noticeable, plus Genymotion doesn't support the gyroscope/accelerometer like Bluestacks does.
Also, if you want ARM support on Genymotion, look up libhoudini.
I want to run the Compiled images of the Android RPI 3 on an Emulator, i have looked everywhere but i didn't find any way to emulate raspberry pi and side load the images. Is it possible to run raspberry pi android image on emulator or any image of another hardware on an emulator ?
I am building a system where I need to run Android Auto on nvidia's jetson tx2 embedded platform. The problem is that there's no drivers/official support from nvidia for android. I believe it has special hardware acceleration to run vms on it and I was wondering if it would be possible to run android. Has anyone tried this?
