and you changed to a qvm-copy-to-vm command. what you missed is the cp was meant to jus backup the original file which is always good when you are hacking things! it wasnt to copy to the vm! ps: the > im sure was an accident by unman.
you should try to understand the commands and procedure as unman describes. his github describes the issue better than i could. genarally you want to avoid copy + paste commands from internet random people like me. it is better to understand the issue and how to resolve the issue then just running the script
unman solution works, i think the diff is patch_init uses absolut path for the sed append, so if you didnt put init_patch at right spot, it wont patch. this is what i mean with understanding the goals so you can see minor issues. we are human and overlook small things some times.
Thanks to everyone and especially to @unman. Much appreciated!!
I was finally able to successfully start to install an Android VM on Qubes with the provided procedures.
One question left related to the installation, though: When you start to install your Android VM, Google requires you to provide a Google account. If you choose to create a (test) account to be able to install the VM, Google requires you to provide a mobile phone number.
How do you manage to circumvent that (identification by mobile phone number) step to go on installing your Android VM?
NB: In my contry (and neighboring ones), you have to identify yourself to be able to buy a prepaid SIM card at any shop.
VPN
I guess this depends on the country you’re on. If you have the opportunity to use a VPN, I’d suggest you VPN into a fast growing android market. Google is less scrupulous on those markets. (note: I’ve never tried this)
It absolutely isn’t necessary to have a google account to install
Android: what makes you think this?
When you come to configure the system, you will be asked for a Google
account, but just opt out of that part of the process. You will repeatedly
be told how much you are missing out on - ignore that.
At the end of the process you will have a working Android - you wont be
able to use the Google infrastructure, like Google Play, but there are
alternatives, like F-droid.
I have followed the steps above,
and successfully installed android-x86,
with several different iso,
into a stand alone VM,
but then after booting, it only give me this symbol, and nothing else,
please tell me which part is wrong ?
Do we have to format the partition disk in standaloneVM with specific file type ?
But couldn’t find ext4, fat32, or ntfs
And any file type I choose to format, doesn’t appear after formatting.
im using 4.1 and still trying to get it working but until now, no success, if someone has done that please answer it on my topic, thank you. Android Emulator on 4.1
