Android running on Hyper-V This guide will show one how to install Android-x86 in Hyper-V. We will be using Android 4.3 as our base installation version and using a Windows 8.1 Professional as a host. One great thing about Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 is that Microsoft has enabled a fairly robust version of Hyper-V even it their workstation operating system. The benefit of this is that building development instances is a simple task. In fact, a decently powered workstation or laptop can have multiple virtual machines open at a given time. Installing Android onto a Hyper-V Virtual Machine The guide to installing Android on Hyper-V should take only a few minutes to accomplish.
Jun 20, 2017 - You can (of course) also install AndEX to a virtual hard drive in VirtualBox and VMware. -7.1.2-nougat-gapps-kernel-4.9.31-exton-990mb-170619.iso can be installed. Extra drivers. Wifi works alright in AndEX Nougat. Aug 21, 2013. Using the precompiled binary version(android-x86-4.3-20130725.iso) and the newest. Plz, tell me how to use Wifi or install Intel Wifi Driver.
Step 1: Preparing the Hyper-V Host The first step in getting this to work is to ensure that the host Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 machine has Hyper-V installed. We have a simple that works with both versions of the desktop operating system. If Hyper-V is installed either on Windows 8, or a Windows Server/ Hyper-V server, then you are all set and can log into the Hyper-V management console. One major consideration is which version of Android will you run. For this guide we are going to use an Adroid-x86 build. Further, we decided to use an Android 4.3 version.
The reason for this is quite simple, networking in previous versions was very painful because Ethernet did not work out of the box. Android 4.3 changed this and Android 4.4 and newer should also. You can get Android from here: The next step is quite simple, setting up a new virtual machine. You can simply follow the to set up the VM. The major caveat here is that you do need to utilize the Legacy Ethernet adapter which you can find an example of.
The only major difference is that you will load the Android-x86 iso instead of another operating system. Android-x86 Hyper-V Legacy Network Adapter Total time for this should be about 3 minutes if using the guides and about 90 seconds if you have ever used Hyper-V before. The good news is, it is simple to get the host setup. Step 2: Installing Android Luckily, Android has a fairly simple installation method if one has ever used a text based Linux installer.
At this point you can continue to use the LiveCD shown here, but that is not optimal since we may want a persistent development instance. For this guide we are going to install the image to a disk so we will pick the “Installation – Install Android-x86 to harddisk” option.
One reason for the above screen capture is that the system will go into LiveCD mode if one does not select installation within 60 seconds. There are a few simple click-through screens which are very obvious so we will skip some of them in the interest of download speeds. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Boot Screen Of course to install Android we need a drive to install it on. For this, we will go to Create/Modify partitions. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Create and Modify Partitions That brings up perhaps the most non-intuitive part of the installation, cfdisk.
For those unfamiliar cfdisk will format the virtual hard drive so that Android can be installed. Here you can see we are using a vhd that is around 4GB in size. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Select Partition Here is the command sequence to utilize: • New • Primary • Bootable • Write • Quit Just before hitting quit the screen should look like the below. Nexus 2 crack dll file. It may differ based on disk size but that is OK. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Create and Modify Partitions – New Primary Boot Now that we have a proper partition sda1 we can now install it by clicking OK.
Android-x86 on Hyper-V Select Created Partition Now we will select ext3 for the file system. There are many other options, but ext3 works.
Android-x86 on Hyper-V Select Created Partition and ext3 Once that is complete, we will need GRUB as our boot loader. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Install GRUB At this point you can either reboot or just run Android-x86. Usually it is easiest to just run but rebooting can be good if you wish to make any minor virtual machine tweaks, such as replacing the network adapter with a legacy adapter if you skipped that part in step 1. Android-x86 on Hyper-V Run Once Android 4.3 boots, you will see the standard Android setup. There are a few caveats, mainly that you will encounter two error messages.
