5.1 RC5

Can't see any advantages to use it.

The Android-x86 project released already 2017-01-13 the 6.0-r2 (Marshmallow-x86) to public. This is the second stable release of Android-x86 6.0. It's NOT just a release candidate only as the Android images installable on MEmu (except Android 4.2.2) are.

Wondering why they fiddle around with in between ancient Android 5.1.1.

IMO can't be so difficult to add to this Marshmallow-x86 additional features as VirtualBox guest additions and some other features as sensors, camera, and whatever ...

All Android images ever provided by MEmu are based on those pre-made by Android-x86 project. They can NOT be considered to be a work of MEmu as some people may think.
[Android Apps and Games] :
5.1.1 RC4 vs. 5.1.1 RC5

Compared to RC4 they added contacts, calendar and livewallpaper. Also noticed they replaced Launcher 3 with MEmu Launcher which lures you to install pre-selected games. That's all.

For me these added features aren't a big improvement in terms of stability etc, quite reverse they are simply snicker. Others of course may like it...

1. Yes, you can find the root access control in MEmu setting dialog.

2. Yes, We are doing the porting work.

4. I am afraid you have to do it manually.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
:good: So now you can play COC with the right google play services?
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
It should be put inside the MEmu image by the game itself. We didn't treat it specially.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Haven't tried xposed before. What's your purpose to mock locations from google play? To install application from another area? If so, I think you need to mock the IP address instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Thanks! We plan to remove the launcher limitation issue in future release.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Caused by some incorrect setting. Can you try creating another new MEmu instance in Mutiple Instance Manager, and start it?
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
What's the name of this app?

I think you must activate the VT-x / Virtualization / whatever they are labeled extensions of your CPU in the Bios of your computer.
[Android Apps and Games] thetupacshow:
I've already done it, same issue...

How can I do it? I tried THIS tool and it says VT-x is not enabled...
[Android Apps and Games] HypoTurtle:
Hold the shift key and press restart. Then Troubleshoot, Advanced options, UEFI Firmware Setttings. This should reboot into BIOS, from there you need to find the VT-x settings to enable.

Compared to Andy emulator, which will be better MEmu or Andy? I have never tried any of this. But I heard Andy is also good. I have been using Bluestacks.
[Android Apps and Games] siddhpant:
Yea fairly good but there is one problem. In game it seems that there is an earthquake :p I mean that screen has a bouncing like effect a lot. I dont care much about this problem but it irritates me sometimes. On bluestacks coc ran smoothly. But MeMu beats others in smoothness, & boot time. And sometimes there is a blue screen but never mind.:D
[Android Apps and Games] thetupacshow:
I'm in the BIOS and I have enabled VT-x settings, it works now!!

There's any app I need to download before using Memu??
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
1.+2. ok

4. How do I do this? Can you please add a batch file that does it?
[Android Apps and Games] cleansm1:
So if I have 2 instances of MEmu, and I try to login, (which requires me to login to game twice...I don't understand that either). If I login first time on instance 0, and then login first time on instance 1, they will cause conflict. Basically the pattern of success and failure is this:

instance 0:

login once

login twice (now game starts)

instance 1:

login once

login twice (now game starts)

Failure:

instance 0:

login once

instance 1:

login once

instance 0:

login twice (game doesn't start)

instance 1:

login twice (game doesn't start)

login 3rd: (game starts)

instance 0:

login 3rd: (game doesn't start)

login 4th: (game starts)

there is some conflict across the MEmu instances that is overwriting the login information, it must be some common location I think.

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Not sure of Andy. But if you are a bluestacks user, MEmu is definitely worth a try.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Looks like a graphics issue. What's your graphics card model? Update the driver if it's not the latest.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
No. You can use MEmu directly after installation.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Sure. We will do it, for the convenience of the developer.

Light: Fellowship of Loux

Game Light: Fellowship of Loux v2.0.4 ( 2017-02-23 ) by com2us - more or less the lightweight version of Summoners War game - installs, downloads its additional data and then runs well in MEmu 2.9.6.1 with Android 5.1.1RC5 image.

It's in detail explained here.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Yes, because the Android image is always embedded in the instance of MEmu App Player you formerly created.
[Android Apps and Games] Microvirt:
Yes, you can. :)

just installed memu and i can't believe the snapiness, doesn't feel like an emulator at all, at least not compared to the slow emulators i've used in the past.... there is a prob however - when memu is launched windows (10/64) becomes laggy, focus on items such as folder content names and context menu items all but stops (altho clicking the item works even tho focus has lagged well behind)... also, the popup taskbar window for hidden icons doesn't function properly, it appears empty, multiple clicks to any area of the empty popup window eventually displays the hidden icons, but right-clicking them does not work.... closing memu and rebooting is required to get things back to normal... is there a solution to this problem? fwiw vt-x is enabled and i have 16gb of memory....
[Android Apps and Games] Andrewtst:
Found this after recommendation from my friend. Test also Nox and Bluestacks.

Finally decide to keep MEmu, awesome android for PC emulator.

Just finished setup it nicely with Apex launcher. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aeneas1:
doesn't look like you're using the latest version, maybe that's my prob, the latest version is unstable, going to give the next step down a try....
[Android Apps and Games] Andrewtst:
I am running latest version of 2.9.6.1 with MEmu Lollipop RC5 (Android 5.1) 2017-03-11.

Your mentioned issue I didn't facing at all. I am running Windows 10 as well. Did you set all available RAM to MEmu? If yes then you need to adjust it, only set half available from your current PC RAM. Also half the cores your current CPU have.
[Android Apps and Games] aeneas1:
your settings menu looked different than mine so i assumed you had an earlier version, but it's different because you've chosen custom resolution.... anyway, thanks to your post i installed an rc5 pack which i hadn't done previously, only the memu program, and now everything works silky smooth, thanks! :good:

MEmu NoGo for me on Win10

I've installed Windows 10 clean on a Dell Latitude E6410 Notebook with the following spec:

Intel i5 CPU

8Gb RAM

540GB SSD

Downloaded MEmu 2.9.6 which installed fine and launched just fine.

But when connected to the Google account, Play Store complains with the following error message:

Error retrieving information from server. (RH-01)

When Googling the above error message, there are hundreds of forum posts, threads, Youtube videos etc. including Google's own support forum, and they all suggest exactly the same solution which seems to have helped a number of users with phones and/or tablets. The solution implies deleting the account, clearing and killing the Google Play app and Google Services Framework and reboot everything and re-registering the account again.

But none of this has solved my problem after numerous tries and retries.

I have no other apps installed on this PC except what came with Windows 10, and windows itself has been updated with all available updates.

I have tried the following:

1. Uninstall and reinstalled MEmu. No avail.

2. I installed the Lollipop rc5 update. No avail.

3. I tried using my friends Google Account instead of mine. No avail.

4. I tried accessing Google Play using the browser included with MEmu, but it complains that the MEmu browser is not supported.

5. I tried downloading Google Chrome from www.google.com but it too complains that the MEmu browser is not supported.

6. I tried downloading various versions of the chrome APK as well as Google Play APK but all of them failed to install, without any explanation why.

So I guess the remaining question is: Is it really possible to log onto Google and make Google Play accept it?

I installed BlueStacks on the same machine with no problems, but for other reasons, I don't fancy BlueStacks.

If anyone out there can shed new light on my problems, I'd really appreciate it.

[Android Apps and Games] aeneas1:
have spent some more time with memu and it's great, the best andorid emulator for windows i've ever tried, and i've tried a bunch....

the thing is i only need to run a few android apps from my pc, so a complete andorid emulator such as memu just for this purpose is overkill i've found - having to launch an emulator in order to launch an app, and then be constrained by the emulator window/environment, not to mention setting up the emulator as you would an android device, is a lot of hoops to jump through just to run a few android apps from within windows imo.

so after a bit more looking around i found google's arc welder extension which, so far, absolutely rocks for my needs... once installed it can launch a downloaded apk, which it then automatically adds to your google extensions... the great thing about this is that you can then create a desktop link to the installed apk extension and close the arc welder window/environment. once you've done this you simply click the app shortcut on your desktop and your app launches in its own window, without the arc environment, just the app, awesome...

still have to play around with it some, i've read there are drawbacks, such as not all apps work, and there may be issues running more than one app at a time... but so far it's worked like a charm for me.

once the arc welder is installed from google's play store it will appear in your apps window, from here you launch it:

once launched you navigate to the location on your hard drive where you've downloaded the apk of your choice and then "add" it to the arc welder console.... in my case i downloaded yamaha's av controller apk given my pc is set up as a media server, and it's an app i needed but it's not available for windows 10:

once the apk is "added" to the arc welder console, arc welder installs it as a google extension as can be seen here. from here you can create a desktop shortcut for the newly installed apk.

here's how both extensions, arc welder and the yamaha apk, appear in googles extension settings:

here's my windows 10 desktop, which i've set up to use as a media center, the yamaha apk shortcut has been added (green box), i customized the icon, when the shortcut was first created it displayed the yamaha av controller icon shown above.

when i click the icon the app is launched, no need to have the arc welder console open or a google browser, the app behaves just as if it was launched from within android.
[Android Apps and Games] andiling:
Rather from Chrome Web Store...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Wondering why you have taken such huge efforts here for advertising ARC Welder. It's absolutely OFF-TOPIC. Current XDA forum thread is dedicated to MEmu App Player. Nothing else. Did you get Google-money for it?

BTW:

With ARC Welder not all Android apps work, which is why the software is only suitable for testing some applications. Serious tests showed that more elaborate games or apps with a lot of storage requirements typically often fell off or could not be served.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Annoying Unwanted Increase Of File Size Of MEmu Instance's VMDKs

Example:

You create a MEmu 2.9.6.1 with Android 5.1.1RC5 image.

You notice in folder ..\Microvirt\MEmu\MemuHyperv VMs\MEmu_x 3 VMDK-files got created:

MEmu51-xxxxxxxx-disk1.vmdk ( 69,824 KB ), MEmu51-xxxxxxx-disk2.vmdk ( 6,976 KB ) and MEmu51-xxxxxx-disk3.vmdk ( 672,896 KB ).

You run this freshly created MEmu instance. You install on it a game, say Modern Combat 5 v2.0.3g. You close the MEmu instance. You notice size of the VMDK-files has drastically changed:

MEmu51-xxxxxxxx-disk1.vmdk ( 2,146,112 KB ), MEmu51-xxxxxxx-disk2.vmdk ( 2,401,600 KB ) and MEmu51-xxxxxx-disk3.vmdk ( 666,560 KB ).

You again run this MEmu instance, delete game Modern Combat 5, then shutdown the MEmu instance. You notice the size of the VMDK-file hasn't decreased, although expected:

MEmu51-xxxxxxxx-disk1.vmdk ( 2,146,112 KB ), MEmu51-xxxxxxx-disk2.vmdk ( 2,401,600 KB ) and MEmu51-xxxxxx-disk3.vmdk ( 666,560 KB ).

Resume:

Installing plus uninstalling a game like Mortal Combat 5 ( 105 MB ) with ~ 1.5 GB additional cached data in fact irrevocably increases allocated VMDK-files' disk space by ( 5,214,272 KB - 749,696 KB = ) 4,464,576 KB => 4.26 GB.

Explanation:

MEmu App Player works with dynamically sized disk images in its underlying VirtualBox, therefore you will notice that the image size increases over time as you're working with the VM, but also that the size will not decrease if you delete files inside it.

This has two reasons:

1. Just like on physical HDDs, when you delete a file, it is not actually deleted. The Android OS just "removes it from the index" and marks the corresponding blocks as free.

2. Every VMDK-disk block that contained data before will remain in the VMDK-file even if the block is now empty (zeros). So if you securely delete a file or fill the free space with zeros, the image size will not automatically decrease.

Workaround:

If low disk space is an issue for you, then if you do a Google-search for "VMDK Size Shrinker" you'll find a repeatedly reported programmatically solution:

adb shell "busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/emptyfile bs=1M"
adb shell rm -rf /emptyfile

and afterwards running the command line vdiskmanager tool - by VMWare - against each VMDK.

This should to 100% decrease the size of VMDKs related to a MEmu instance to its value prior app's installation.

[Android Apps and Games] JohnDo88:
I used Bluestacks, but BS is with many bugs on my Notebook! I get yours probably for test! Will see its your better or not! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] VikingOy:
Thanks for your reply.

I know I did post twice. The reason is because i was uncertain if I had posted it in the correct place the first time....

Anyway, I do not understand your answer.

You say I installed 4 Google Apps in MEmu?!? No, I did not. I haven't installed anything in MEmu. What's in there is only what was included in the download in the first place. All I did was to respond to the Google Account registration requirement that appears when you run the Play Store App for the first time. And it failed.

In my mind - this can only have to do with MEmu. In order to test again, I grabbed another notebook, formatted it blank, installed windows 7 this time, and only that. Then downloaded MEmu again, and tried to run it. Again, the exact same thing happens. All I do - once inside MEmu after launching it - is to click on the Google Play app, and it immediately requires a Google Account registration (as it should). And from then on everything fails.

If what you're saying is that the Google Play App is alien to MEmu, that's beyond me. I didn't instal lthe Google Play App. It was already in download package, and as we all know, it is somewhat essential in order to be able to install anything from the Play Store (as far as I know). I tried to install a few APK's as well, and they all collectively fail without any sensible error message except: "The App failed to install".

So, I'm just wondering ; What am I doing wrong?

I believed that MEmu was supposed to be a piece of cake to run - just download, click and run. So, far - this does not seem to be the case. At least not for me.

After trying on three different PC's, with three different versions of windows, using different Google accounts, the result is consistently the same, there must be something essential that I have overlooked?

The reason I'm still here in this thread, is because I am still under the assumption that this thread (here in the XDA-Forum) is monitored by the people who made MEmu. If I am mistaken, and you wish me to go away and never come back, then just say so and I will.....

RH-01 problem because Google play service and Google play store in memu is old version. In the first instal, try login on your google play. After that, if you succes login, try instal smule, that will be automatic update your google play service. This is my video, RC4 or RC5 is a same.

Just Create new memu from Multi manager, it's work for me :)

I simply can't reconstruct why so many people report this RH-01 error.

You can post here anything, whether it makes sense or not, even off-topics. It's alone your decision.

All I wanted to express / tell you is fact that MEmu's so called user-help-desk not at all is this current XDA-forums thread, but MEmu user-group on FB. Accept it or not, it's your decision.
[Android Apps and Games] VikingOy:
Well, regretfully, since I do not have an FB account, I cannot access user groups on FB. And the reason I do not have an FB account is because I chose not to have one because of the way FB handles user Privacy. I do not wish to give any privacy details to a company like FB.

So, I'm still here.

With reference to [MENTION=1890170]jwoegerbauer[/MENTION]'s message above, and since I cannot (or do not want to) go on FB. Can you please answer these two simple question?

1. Why do the MEmu team package a version of the Google Play app that is outdated and not working?

2. Is there any other way to get hold of an updated Google Play app that will work?

[Android Apps and Games] :
In case I was addressed

Q1:

Can't answer this because I'm not member of MEmu's developer-team. I'm simply an ordinary MEmu user as you are, of course without an FB account too. Anyway I think it's irrelevant to get your 1st question answered. Think we all have to live with this annoyance.

Q2:

Already told you that Android's Google Play package consists of 4 apps which are mutually dependent on each other. To answer your 2nd question: To be on the safe side you have to update these 4 apps before you launch Google Play Store the 1st time. Remember, I also have already told you how to do so.

Update:

Took the time to extract and upload the most recent version of the mentioned 4 Google Play apps.
