A good android distribution to use as a VM other than android-x86?
For all my needs of temporary android devices, I use a temporary VM instead. where I install android-x86. Now I am looking for alternatives to this distro. It is a bit slow to use and now dated. Still on android 9.
Any recommendation that are FLOSS? A guide how to install Lineage OS on QEmu or KVM is also a good alternative.
I was finally able to running it on virt-manager with following settings: Display Spice and listen type set to “none”. Open GL checkbox enabled. Overview: Firmware: UEFI x86_64: /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
I’m curious - why use a VM ? What is the context here? Are you using a Linux phone and need Android apps to fill gaps, or are you running this in a laptop and use Android in some way I don’t understand?
My use case it to simulate a burner phones to bypass app only subscriptions. I run there applications I don’t trust to run on my own phone and would not afford to buy the a new phone for everything.
Well, if I’m on my laptop, I just use the browser. It’s much easier, and they don’t sqawk at me because it is “rooted” - even though it has always been rooted.
Yes, I am on linux. I might give it a try. I’ll look into installing it. Do you know by any chance a distro that has it preinstalled or install it in a easy way?
