I'm playing a game (brave frontier), and it's laggy , are they any tweaks to speed up genymotion ? if I check windows task manager , it's barely consuming any resource .. even though the game is running
[Android Software Development] japzone:
What hardware does your PC have?
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
Open Virtualbox and edit the virtual machine. You can set more processors, increase graphic vram, enable 3D acceleration and such.
[Android Software Development] andr3wchong:
using an old Core2Quad 9650 (3ghz) , 8gb RAM , GTX560 , pretty old unit.. but it should be enough

uhm.. I downloaded the one with VirtualBox packaged with Genymotion... is there anyway to find virtualbox is located ?
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
Search for it on start menu
[Android Software Development] Alex Atkin UK:
I would only change the CPU and RAM settings, anything else may break the OS.

Graphics VRAM, 3D and 2D are off in VirtualBox because Genymotion offload those things to their player directly which just fires standard OpenGL calls to your OS/GPU. As such I believe Genymotion has access to as much VRAM as it needs, its just another OpenGL application on your desktop. (at least that appears to be how the Linux build works as the player log specifically mentions listening for OpenGL)

In this case however I think its sadly the game that doesn't like Genymotion. I just tried it on my old Genymotion 1 install (I haven't gotten around to adding the ARM translator to my 2 build) and the game is literally a slideshow, its running that slow. That is with 2 cores assigned from an i5 2500k on an nVidia GTX 660. I have an Android CPU monitor running on Genymotion and its showing next to no CPU load at all, so something is amiss in the game.
[Android Software Development] lehjr:
I'd be interested to see if you can get the gears app to work. In my case, I can't seem to get any 3d working, regardless of device I choose.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Part of the reason why we are having so many issues with ARM Translation is because of the lack of support. Without Genymotion releasing the code for their modifications there's no way to tell if proper support for LibHoudini is still being included in the VMs. For all we know all the issues we're having with certain apps is because an important line of code is missing somewhere. Without being able to check and correct it these bugs will never be worked out. One thing I can confirm though is that there are more issues with AMD made hardware than Intel, but that isn't the only cause of problems for sure.
[Android Software Development] Alex Atkin UK:
NO support of libhoudini is included in the VMs as I understand it.

Something has definitely changed in Genymotion, perhaps due to libhoudini not being natively supported any more?

Gears only runs at 47fps on my Genymotion 2.2 KitKat VM which suggests software mode, but 60fps on my old 1.3 JB VM (running at a higher resolution). Makes me wonder if they have broken OpenGL support. The same applies to AnTuTu 3D Rating for OpenGL 2.0 ES where I got 6818 on my old VM but only 3203 on the newer one, although I need to check as maybe I allocated more cores to the older image.

Either way, performance it indeed dire considering it has a GTX 660 to back it up.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
I didn't say that support for LibHoudini was gone, but that they are slowly breaking support somewhere, simply because they don't care about it anymore. And because we don't have the source for anything Genymotion is doing we can't find what they changed and can't fix it. Unless someone wants to try reverse engineering some things. I wouldn't know where to start nor do I have that kind of spare time to devote to it.
[Android Software Development] Alex Atkin UK:
I could be totally wrong but its my understanding that libHoudini is a self-contained translation layer so it shouldn't matter what the rest of the OS is doing.

The only thing the OS does is execute ARM apps using libHoudini rather than natively. Things like OpenGL calls will fire off the same regardless of if they are coming from an ARM app or x86 app, the OS won't know the difference so it shouldn't matter what Genymotion are doing with the build.

The biggest problem is likely to be newer ARM apps being written for instructions libHoudini does not support, or faster ARM CPUs that mean you need a much faster x86 to keep up.
[Android Software Development] lehjr:
For me, gears doesn't even run at all in Genymotion under Linux, but does under Windows, so I'm guessing there's no 3d support for Genymotion on Linux yet.
[Android Software Development] lehjr:
Update: While I could run gears 55-60 fps, Antutu crashes at the 3d benchmark running on Windows 7 with a Radeon HD 7700. I have a similar machine here, but using an old GeForce 9500 GS, so I'll test that when I get time.

I know they have some licensing issues to overcome, but could anyone actually picture themselves paying for the commercial license without ARM support, especially in the case of what's supposed to be ARM based virtual machines?
[Android Software Development] japzone:
I won't. If I'm going to pay for an Emulator so I can more easily develop android apps I want to be able to easily test ARM code(still the largest android chip architecture) without having to pull out my phone.

Cannot Flash provided files.

Hi.

I just downloaded the files as was told in page 1 and used that drag&drop technique (!) Yet when it prompts to flash the files it says something like:

"Ooops,something went wrong ..." or something like that.So I decided to use FlashGordon to flash them.I flashed them both -skipping that buggy error that said "this zip aint a flashable file"- and I can download apps from google play and install and work with them.However,when I want to install my downloaded-before-clash-of-clans app I get this "INCOMPATIBLE_ABI" error.Any suggestion?

Think I've got to reflash that ARM zip once more yet I cant find an easy,practical way for it.Thanks in advance

p.s:please be noob friendly ;)

Trying to use on Macbook 2008 (white) running OS X Lion 10.7.5 . Genymotion and Virtualbox both installed fine. ARM translation flash was giving me the oops yada yada yada error but after a few tries it finally flashed it.

I've tried at least 5 different downloads of the gapps zip file and none have been successful flashing. The VM I am using is Google Nexus 10 - 4.3 - API 18 for this process. Can someone please help?
[Android Software Development] sitapea1337:
Tried almost every version devices in Genymotion and all I've managed to get almost working is 4.2.2

What I did do:

* Installed 4.2.2 ROM (for example: Custom Tablet 10'' 4.2.2)

* Installed "Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1"

* adb reboot (In Genymotion directory ../tools)

* Installed ARM app (doesn't matter which one, tried several)

And all I get is black screen. With other versions of ROMs I get app crash, but with 4.2.2 I get black screen (app starting, do NOT know if running, system is NOT crashing).

Any tips what to do to get ARM app running? Any other version of that ARM translation?

Does anyone have earlier versions of Genymotion so I can test with those? Currently I have Genymotion version 2.2.2

EDIT: Seems it's my desktop computer that doesn't support ARM translations. My laptop works fine with 4.2.2 custom tablet. AMD E-450 processor there.

Hi, I have been using genymotion 2.1 for months and now I deployed a new virtual machine and updated the image since the one I was using was from february or march and now when I drag and drop the arm translation zip file it simply gets copied to the download folder and it doesn't get flashed like it was done before. Did something have changed in the new versions? I didn't update to genymotion 2.2 because I had issues with some apps I needed to use.

[Android Software Development] evildog1:
Thanks for the ARM translation. Now i can use TuneIn radio
[Android Software Development] NoTengoBattery:
I've solved (i think so)

Hi guys! I recently installed Genymotion because I can not buy a Android phone and I needed CamScanner, but I realized that it was closed immediately after opening. As necessity is the mother of invention, I created a special flashable zip that solves many (really do not know how many) problems of incompatibility. In the thread is a YouTube video as proof. I'm not sure if I can post the file here. When I know that I can post it, i'll post it in the thread. Please comment on the thread or the YouTube video. If it worked for you, nothing costs you press the thanks button and leave a review on YouTube or in the thread (prefered).

Hope it works!

Another stupide ...

Hello guys

here you go, another "stupide" needs help x)

ok, i downloaded Genymotion, installed a samsung galaxy s5 4.4.2 in it, seeing that there is no google apps i searched in the forum and found this thread,

i readed everything about 15times ... and still cannot complete the process

i downloaded the Genymotion ARM (about 9mb) and Gapps package (CM11) (150mb)

i did open the virtual device, then the file manager, double "back" then drag-drop the ARM, after flashing i tried to restart via ROM toolbox, it only crash "player.exe", and when i try to launch it back i got an error

i tried to just close/open, same error

i tried to press the power botton for like 8-10sec, didn't work (lol ...)

i tried to shut it down normaly after holding the power botton, crash/same error while starting

finally, i open the orace VM and shut it down, worked

after that i start it back, open/close the file manager, drag/drop the gapps package, accepted the flashing process, after a while i got an error, the "player.exe" crashed again, starting it i got an error telling me to chek the stat via oracle VM, there i saw that the virtual device is in "deep meditation"

tried to delete it vua genymotion, and get a new one like always, while starting it goes in "deep meditation", tried again same problem :silly:

anyone have any idea how to fix that ?

When I try to install gapps (step 6) I get the next issue:

Any solution please?
[Android Software Development] sl9:
Not sure about that gapps-jb-20121011-signed(1).zip - it may be outdated. The one I used is named gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip, I got it from here. Also ensure you're using the latest vbox and geny versions, and a 4.3 JB API 18 Android image.

Edit: Although I got gapps flashed and working fine on various Jellybean and Kitkat images (could not get it working on Lollipop), I could not get ARM translation working at all. It flashed OK and I rebooted, but ARM-only apps like PvZ2 simply refused to work. So I abandoned Genymotion and tried AndY instead. This also failed to run ARM apps; at this point I suspect an Intel CPU may be required (mine is AMD) or the ARM translation layer may just be too old. So I have no choice but to go back to BlueStacks, which at least works despite the many annoyances :(

Edit2: Looks like in the past few weeks BlueStacks released an update that HUGELY improves emulation speed for ARM apps. I'm talking a 10X speed up at least... It's also using KitKat. If you're not a developer and just want to run Android stuff on PC, then right now BlueStacks is very far ahead of the other emulators...

I've installed ARM transmitter v1.1 on 4.1 and 4.2.2 easily but couldn't install on 4.4.4 (no error on installation/flash but nothing appear to be installed after adb reset or anything...tried many times without any success) and the battery and clock are still greay instead of blue.

Is there any solution for 4.4.4 ?

I am using the latest version of OVAs and Genymotion (2.4.0)
[Android Software Development] jetsaredim:
I have been using Genymotion for over a year as an app player with information from this thread serving as a basis for the VM setup. Recently, the app that I was primarily using this setup for recently updated and has since stopped working. I've tracked down the issue to what I think is an issue with the ARM translation. The app itself only has a /lib/armeabi-v7a directory, so clearly it's setup for ARM architecture (not x86), and logcat shows an ILL_ILLOPN error when the app is launched. I'm also seeing a bunch of houdini references in the crash within the logcat.

Is there any way to debug this further to see what is exactly causing the issue.
[Android Software Development] no_storm:
Gapps on Genymotion Android 4.4.4 can work stably now

Thank you for providing the ARM translation layer.

I couldn't download any of the pre-4.4 gapps from your links.

But it turns out to be a good thing that forced me to try out the 4.4 gapps.

Gapps on Genymotion Android 4.4.4 can work stably now.

The CM11 gapps still crashes, but just let the Play Store App to upgrade itself to the latest version, and there will be no crash from then on.

This is probably due to the 2015 version of the Play Store series has fixed the bug (the op was speaking about the 2013-2014 version of gapps), but it could also be due to the fact that the upgraded version of Play Store (Service) is x86 rather than ARM binary.

Adobe Reader (the latest ARM version) could also run up to opening a file, then crashes. But after upgraded through Play Store, it runs stably, because the upgraded one is the x86 version.

Chrome Browser (ARM version) also crashes, but if you let it automatically upgrade through Play Store to the x86 version, it would then run stably.

The smaller apps work well with this ARM translation layer.

I could now run iSilo and Paragon without problem in Genymotion now.

Thanks!

It seems that, there is an empirical 10 MB limit for this ARM Translation package to work, I have not successfully run any ARM apk larger than 10 MB. But luckily most of them provide the x86 version on Play Store at the same time.

Another tiny point is that, there is not need to reboot between flashing the ARM Translation ROM and the gapps ROM. Just flash both, and then rebooting would make both work.

The CM11 gapps ROM (choose the small version since the rest could be installed directly in x86 through Play Store later) may not flash properly in the auto mode, so select Cancel when it prompts, i.e. choose not to flash it, then flash it manually through adb (or use the Terminal Emulator for Android app):

adb shell
# su # if you are not already
cd /sdcard/Download
flash-archive.sh gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip # Type A for "All" if it asks.
reboot

I need to use Android version of iSilo through VM on Linux because I don't have the iSilo licence for Windows. Though I do appreciate XP's 512 MB memory cost as a VM, rather than Genymotion's 2-3 GB memory cost.

These phone OSes use much more memory than XP...

Thanks for the ARM Translation package; I can read iSilo documents on Linux now!

:)
