The first setting to change is to disable USB inputs and set them to be PS/2. Now we need to modify a few settings for our virtual environment, so click the "Settings" button at the top. Now you'll be presented with the following please wait screen.Īfter that's completed you will be taken back to the main VirtualBox window. Set the size you want the hard drive to be and then click "Create." This is typically more than enough for what I need, however if you plan to download a ton of apps or whatever and need the extra space, then adjust accordingly. Usually with any virtual operating system made from Linux that I'm testing, I'll give it 16GB of space. On the following screen choose "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)" and then click "Next."Ĭhange the selection to "Fixed size" and click "Next."
Click "Next".Ĭhoose "Create a virtual hard disk now" and click "Create." My laptop has 16GB of RAM so I'll give this one 8GB (8192 MB). This is because if I'm working in an emulated environment, I don't typically swap back and forth a lot to the host system so I can afford to spare half of my RAM. Depending on how much system memory you have, I typically allocated half of my available RAM. For the "Type" choose "Linux" and then for "Version" choose "Other Linux (32-bit)".Ĭlick "Next" and you'll be presented with the "Memory size" screen. You can name this whatever you want, however I'm opting to name it "Android 5.1". Once you've got those handled, you should be presented with a black VirtualBox window, like below.Ĭlick the "New" button at the top left and you'll be presented with the following window. I'm here now to try and alleviate all of the issues I had and hopefully make things a little less painful for those of you wanting to do the same.įirst off, you're going to need a copy of VirtualBox installed as well as the "" downloaded from this page.
I spent a good couple of hours recently trying to setup and run Android in a VirtualBox environment. Hello all! It's been quite some time since my last update, but I'm posting quite a doozy today.
