wow great stuff guys. can i ask if genymotion has root? if not can it be obtained? Also if this is installed on a touchscreen laptop will the touchscreen work? thanks
[Android Software Development] Correlliful:
[/COLOR]

It has root.

And yes (it works with my Bamboo pen tablet, so I don't see how a touchscreen is any different).
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Multi-touch can currently only be done using the Paid version by using another physical Android device.
[Android Software Development] ApokrifX:
Guys,

Anyway to use "Genymotion Shell" instead of drag&drop? :confused:
[Android Software Development] japzone:
I haven't used that much, but I didn't see any command for flashing in there, unless it's a buried command. I'm guessing you wanted to script something?
[Android Software Development] ApokrifX:
Yep - to script zip flashing via drag&drop :o
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Never mind

The verdict is in. After talking with some other users it seems that ARM Translation is not working in Android 4.4 KitKat Genymotion images. I haven't been able to confirm it myself(do to issues requiring me to Refresh Windows), but it seems a for sure thing now. I can't tell you what exactly is the cause until my PC is working again, but don't hold your breath for ARM Translation on Android 4.4. For now you'll just have to use Android 4.0-4.3 if you want to use ARM apps.Errr... nevermind. Read my next post.

Some good news is that the Google Apps for Android 4.4 that are floating around seem to work, you just can't install any ARM apps. The CM11 GApps should work, just download them from HERE
[Android Software Development] WisdomWolf:
They finally released KitKat images? When did that happen?
[Android Software Development] mvp3:
Did it work on the Genymotion 2.1.0 & Android 4.4.2 ?

I've tried that but it seems doesn't work.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Correction

Turns out, early reports were wrong about no Android 4.4 ARM support. I've been reinstalling Windows so I couldn't check before, but I just reinstalled Genymotion and setup an Android 4.4.2 image. First I tested with the Google Drive apk, and it was rejected for being an ARM app, normal Genymotion behavior. I then went and drag&dropped my ARM Translation zip onto it, it asked me to flash, I did so, then restarted the VM. Get to the homescreen try the Google Drive apk again and it installed D: Though, the app refused to start because there was no Play services or Google Account. So I flashed the latest KK GApps and restarted the VM. Get to the homescreen and Google Play store opens up fine. I linked to my G account and let all the apps update. Now everything works fine. Only remaining issue is that Play Services keeps crashing, but at most it's just annoying and not a serious problem.

So in Summary: ARM Translation and GApps are both working on Genymotion 2.1 and Android 4.4.2 images. Yay :victory:

Some proof:

Does the ARM Translation allow to run arm only apps like Plants vs Zombies 2?
[Android Software Development] AlwanDroid:
I'm using Moto X with ARM Translations and Android 4.4.2, but when i opened BBM and Path, it force close, anyone know how to fix it? Because both of that apps is working on phone that running Android 4.4.2. Help Me Please ;(

Sorry for Bad English

How to fix it?
[Android Software Development] Kremata:
Maybe it have been said but...

For people having problem with the zip going directly in "sdCard/download" without flashing.

Start your VM.

Click on the Genymotion icon on the home page of the VM.

Check the "Always allow su access(bypass Superuser app) box.

Save

reboot

it should work now.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Yes, but you will run into app crashes and app instability because this isn't an official patch. The software is proprietary so there's no way to recompile from source to fix bugs so we're stuck with any problems you encounter.

Can you post a logcat? Make sure to use the [ CODE ][ /CODE ] tags.

Interesting. I have no way to check if this works since I haven't run into this bug, but I hope it works for everyone with the issue.
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
You are right. Installed Plants vs Zombies 2 on Genymotion emulating Moto X with the ARM Translation and the game crashes every single time. Without ARM Translation you are not allowed to install the app (is missing for you from Play Store).
[Android Software Development] japzone:
If you have Windows or Mac you can try Bluestacks. They have far more reliable ARM Translation and the software is more suited for running graphic apps like Games. I've been looking into possibly extracting their ARM Translation for Genymotion but it's setup very differently so I'm having difficulty figuring it out, and even then there's no guarantee I can get it working in Genymotion..
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
I see. Tried BlueStacks but get a black screen. Not an option for me.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
You get a Black screen when booting, or running an app?
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
When booting. I mean I can do nothing at all.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
First make sure your Graphics Card driver is up to date. If that doesn't help then try the tip in this video and if that doesn't work try the tips in it's comments:

Install WithOUT Drag and Drop?

For whatever reason, drag and drop USED to work for me. But now it simply doesn't. I've tried many times to get it to work, uninstalling everything, re-installing, plenty of reboots, verifying sdk paths, blah blah blah, but I've given up.

There's got to be a way to do this without drag and dropping. Can anyone advise me on how to flash these zips without Genymotion's drag-n-drop feature?

*EDIT-UPDATE*

I solved my issue by doing two things:

1. Avoiding 4.4.2.

2. Installing the two zips via adb push.

I used 4.2.2, which is acceptable for my testing purposes. I then extracted both zip's "/system/..." folders to a folder on my desktop.

In cmd prompt I used the following commands (step 0 is optional and for verification that adb is working):

0. adb devices

1. adb remount

2. adb push "C:\Users\John\Desktop\GenyF_cked\system" /system

May take a bit of time to push everything, but once it does, try opening Google Play and logging in and all that. Working for me, finally. Too bad Genymotions drag and drop seems to be royally screwed for me and my machine. Whatever, I'll be doing this from now on. Hope it helps anyone else having the same issues.
[Android Software Development] adfurgerson:
I had the same problem today and am not sure what happened. Rebooted my PC after getting windows updates (win7) and all of my devices were gone. Downloaded a new one and drag and drop wouldn't work for me either no matter what I tried, also noticed every time Genymotion icon was clicked on the desktop it gave the popup about allowing the program to make changes before it would open. Finally ended up using the recovery option to restore to an earlier point in time which got it working again.
[Android Software Development] emuking:
Glad to know I'm not the only one, thanks. Not really sure what could be causing it to stop working randomly. I myself am running Windows 8.1 x64, latest VirtualBox 4.3.6 prior to installing latest Genymotion since they like to bundle outdated VirtualBox installers for some reason. I do keep my Windows machine up-to-date however, so maybe a random update breaks it. If so, that sucks. There's far to many variables for me to care to find out what's causing it though.

Only issues I've seen with adb pushing to /system folder so far is that sometimes you'll get tons of FC's with a lot of gapps. And only repushing and/or clearing those app's data/cache has fixed it for me. I also had to install TiBu to freeze stock keyboard and installed Google Keyboard from Play to replace it (or any keyboard will do). SwiftKey brings my emulator responsiveness way down, so I don't recommend using that.

At the moment I have 4.2.2 and 4.3 instances running my apps that rely on Google Play Services (Maps).
[Android Software Development] japzone:
I don't know why people keep experiencing this problem. I've been tracking it from several different people and it all happened randomly for them. I've never encountered the problem myself so I haven't been able to investigate. Please PM me any info you may have regarding this issue.
[Android Software Development] Adriu:
Hello.... when it flashes the gapps from the link it starts popping up windows telling that google play services has stopped working... i can login in the play store but when it tries to update something or download it gets a 403 error... any ideas?
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
You need to wait until Google Services updates. Reboot if necessary.
[Android Software Development] Adriu:
i did restart using adb reboot.... still the same
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
Start Google Play and wait some prudential time until services updates in the background.
[Android Software Development] kgptzac:
Quick question... how good the ARM translation mod is supposed to be? I flashed it and the several games I've been playing on my phone and tablet would crash upon start...
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
It's quite bad
[Android Software Development] japzone:
As others have said, Google Play Services needs to update. Fastest way to do this is to open the Play Store, Go to My Apps, and click Update All to force all the Google Apps to update, which should help get Play Services to update. Worse comes to worse open the Play Store and let it sit until it crashes by itself or after 30 minutes, and reboot the VM, closing it works fine. Reboot a second time if necessary. Play Services should be up to date at this point, and you should be able to continue updating apps.

ARM Translation is unpredictable, especially when it comes to games using OpenGL. Many apps will crash. The ARM Translation is a proprietary software package made by Intel so there's no way for anybody outside of Intel to compile it without paying licensing fees to Intel. This is probably one of the reasons Genymotion dropped it when it went commercial. I've tried finding newer releases of the software libraries but what's in v1.1 is the newest I've found. I've experimented with transplanting Bluestacks' own ARM Translation software libraries, but I've had no luck as of yet.
[Android Software Development] tpiardi:
Seens it dont work with the new 2.1.1 genymotion
[Android Software Development] japzone:
It should work fine in 2.1.1. What problem are you having?
[Android Software Development] tpiardi:
Its dont install the arm and gapps, just copy than to sdcards :\
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Ah, that's a common glitch people have encountered with Genymotion. Usually happens after an update. The way I've gotten such issues fixed is by clean installing Genymotion(Yes this deletes your existing Genymotion VMs):

-Try Uninstalling Genymotion using IObit Uninstaller.

-Then make sure the folder

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Genymobile

is deleted.

-Then open regedit and make sure that the KeyFolder

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genymobile

is also deleted.

-Finally, Reboot your PC and reinstall Genymotion.

Let me know if this helps.
[Android Software Development] Dante38490:
adb reboot does not work with Version 4.4.2
[Android Software Development] mvp3:
and could not power off:eek:
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Just closing the Genymotion window and making sure the VM in Virtualbox says "Powered Off", before launching Android again is enough. I've tested it to make sure and have had no issues.
[Android Software Development] tpiardi:
Nothing, did that 3 times, but still just copying the zip to sdcard folder...

ty anyway
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Then it's time for the manual method. Make sure you can open the zip file using a ZIP program if it doesn't open try redownloading from a mirror. If it does open, then extract the "system" folder to your Desktop, startup your Genymotion VM, and finally perform the following commands in Terminal or Command Prompt:

Windows 7 and up:

cd C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Desktop\
adb push .\system /system

Most Linux Distros:

cd /home/[USERNAME]/Desktop/
adb push ./system /system

If you get no errors, you can finally Reboot/Close&Open the Genymotion VM and ARM Translation should work. You can repeat these steps to flash Google Apps as well.
[Android Software Development] tpiardi:
K, thank you.
[Android Software Development] invertednz:
I can't manage to get this working for 4.4.2. 4.3 is all good though.

I also have been using these files on the an AVD using the below which again works for 4.3 but 4.4.2 refuses to boot. Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?

EDIT: I should also note my AOSP keyboard repeatedly force closes making typing impossible

unzip gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip-d. / gapps

# Remount the system partition for recording

adb remount

# Remove the package, which resets all settings when you start the emulator.

adb shell rm / system / app / SdkSetup *

# Copy of system applications Googe Apps

adb push. / gapps / system / / system /

EDIT: Also the AOSP Keyboard continuously force closes

# Record it in the emulator and do a system image

adb push mkfs.yaffs2.x86 / system / app

adb shell chmod 777 / system/app/mkfs.yaffs2.x86

adb shell / system/app/mkfs.yaffs2.x86 / system / sdcard / system.img

# Extract from the SD card image (long operation)

adb pull / sdcard / system.img

# Copy the image in the folder with the emulator

cp system.img ~ / .android/avd/tablet_4.2.avd /
[Android Software Development] japzone:
EDIT:

Wait, are you running the Android SDK Emulator? This guide is meant for the Genymotion Android Virtual Machine software using VirtualBox. I don't think the default SDK images support ARM Translation out of the box, and there are guides out there specifically for getting Google Apps in the Android SDK Emulator. Either way this guide and forum thread aren't for you. If you want to try Genymotion it's free for personal use and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as integrate with Eclipse. Or you can try the Bluestacks software if you have Windows or Mac. It includes Google Apps and there is a simple Rooting tool available for it.

Prep: Start with a fresh Genymotion VM.

Ok first off, you shouldn't be using gapps-jb-XXXXXX.zip with Android 4.4. They aren't compatible. Use the Android 4.4 gapps-kk-XXXXX.zip I have linked in my guide.

Second, I know this sounds weird but don't use the adb remount command. Just continue without it.

Third cd into the folder you unzipped the gapps into and then run exactly:

adb push ./system /system

That's it. Reboot after each zip. You don't delete any files, or do anything else. adb push overwrites by default, and ARM Translation and GApp zips don't actually contain anything that's already in the /system folder. Anything you're removing was already there and is probably a critical part of the OS.
[Android Software Development] invertednz:
Sorry that was the wrong Gapps build that I was using the create the 4.3 image that worked. I was using the 4.4 image for 4.4.

I drag and dropped for Genymotion. The below was also just for AVD. Where I have to open the emulator using emulator -avd avdname -partition-size 512 in order to load the apps, unfortunately all the apps that I load don't persist till the next emulator load unless I save the image and copy it into the AVD directory.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
No, I was wondering why you're talking about AVDs when that is part of the Android SDK Emulator, not Genymotion. You start out talking about Genymotion, then start talking about AVDs giving no context as to why you are doing so. If you're having issues with the SDK Emulator then this isn't the thread to post those issues. This thread is dedicated to installing ARM Translation and Google Apps in Genymotion, and helping people who are having issues accomplishing this. Please clarify what your issue is with Genymotion, if you have any issue with it.
[Android Software Development] cumanzor:
I keep getting a player.exe has stopped working message after flashing and rebooting the Genymotion device. Used to work perfectly until now. What a shame. And there is virtually no support anywhere either.
[Android Software Development] japzone:
You can usually get help on the Google Group or by filling out the Support Form on the Website. Keep in mind, if you're contacting Genymotion, don't mention Google Apps. Just say that you keep getting "player.exe has stopped working" messages. I'd help you myself but I'm busy with work, and my PC keeps giving me BSODs. At this rate I'll have to reinstall Windows.... Again (I hate you Win8 :()
[Android Software Development] ChIcO*GsM:
did anyone get this procedure succeeded on a Kitkat Rom ?
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Yes, I have done it myself using the Kitkat Google Apps I posted. Some bugs and crashes in the GApps here and there but overall it works. Are you having issues?
[Android Software Development] ChIcO*GsM:
Yes, I tried it with JB and it worked gr8

But when I tried to do the same with kit kat rom, it only copied the Google apps zip file to Downloads folder, but it didn't ask for installation !!
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Hmmm, another user reported the same issue. This is weird, and I don't know what causes it since I've yet to encounter the issue myself. Please contact Genymotion about it since this is clearly a software bug. Remember to not mention Google Apps since they aren't allowed to assist anybody with adding them to a VM. Just talk about not being able to flash a zip. I emailed them about it myself, but I have no logs or anything to send them to assist in fixing the issue.
[Android Software Development] ChIcO*GsM:
the problem is it happens only with google app.zip file

any other zip file i can install it normally !!
[Android Software Development] adfurgerson:
I had to use a different Gapps zip to get it to flash. I think it was "Banks 4.4.2 Core" package.

Edit... It may have been the same zip linked here but downloaded it from a different host. Regardless the one linked here didn't want to work.
[Android Software Development] ChIcO*GsM:
Could you pls share the link ?
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Try these: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407572151

They're the ones made by the Paranoid team, but I haven't tested them with GM yet so I don't know if they work with it since this was not made with x86 devices in mind. Also this one includes all of the Google Apps(like you get on a Nexus) so it is quite large.
[Android Software Development] adfurgerson:
Here's link for Banks, the core package is stripped down but you can get what you need from Play Store after flashing.

Edit.. If you haven't got it fixed by this weekend I will upload the Gapps from my desktop and post a link.

If you mean the popup toast message it will quit after you are logged into play store. Just keep dismissing the popup and log into your account in play store then let it update the apps and it should be good.

I have posted in another genymotion thread.

It seems the idea of using Genymotion to test google apps APIs ( especially those related to chrome and google maps ) is doomed.

Yeah I tested firefox it is displaying blank content page too.

This is how a user written Google Map API v2 program looks like on the emulator :-
[Android Software Development] japzone:
Very odd. I haven't experienced this. I'll double check later this week, as I'm inundated with work at the moment. What hardware are you running Genymotion on? Some of the weird issues I've encountered seem to be hardware reliant. Genymotion + ARM Translation = Better on Intel, Bluestacks = Better on AMD. This is just a theory, but it's all I've got at the moment.
[Android Software Development] ApokrifX:
It’s Intel, tho I was under impression, translation ARM->X86 is done inside libhoudini.so.

Since it works on every image version 4.3 and below, it’s gotta be something on 4.4.2 not letting libhoudini do its job.

What’s weird, I don’t even see Developer options in Genymotion 4.4.2 Nexus 4 and 5 images, but some people have it! I thought, it might be related to ART somehow...

Just checked Genymotion 2.2.0 – same thing exactly... :o
