Gave it a new chance. Again installation miserably failed.

The MSVCR100.DLL claimed to be missing is housed both in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Hence it should be found by the installer.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
@ jwoegerbauer, thanks for spending time again (I was going to ask you to retry). This is our first public release, so it has bugs, this is the beauty of asking you guys to test here :)

Are you running on a 32-it PC?

We will resolve this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] :
For the first question, we do have implemented customized ROM locations. But it is not in the release now. I think currently, you can always open VirtualBox to customize the settings, though.

For the second question, we always run as non-elevated user. We actually encourage people to do the same. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Really miserable

Sorry for a buggy installer. But this VC runtime library issue is weird. Actually, we do package the dll together with our programs.

Could you please provide a bit more details. From the screen shot and descriptions, it should be a 64bit system. The language is Germany? XP? Windows 7, 8 or 10?

We could try to locally reproduce the issue with the same system you installed. Thanks!

BTW: Could you please provide a MD5 for the dlls found in your system?

Some Thoughts

Pros:

Looks cut and clean.

Runs extremely well.

Seems to have good compatibility with a large variety games.

Rooted out of the box.

VM Manager, adjust amount of cores, memory, etc.

Have multiple VMs open at once.

Cons: (Some are work in progress)

Bloatware, but very easy to uninstall (Almost a pro).

No borderless full-screen.

No drag and drop install, but you can use adb install through Windows command prompt.

File sharing through Windows has to be enabled through VM Manager.

No copy and paste between emulator and Windows using keyboard shortcuts.

Resolution:

Considering that this is one of the very first versions of this emulator, even with the cons and few bugs it has at the moment. It still rises above every android emulator I have used and hopefully with time it will finally give the android emulator community something to stick with for all their android needs.

Cant wait for an update!
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=7087414]aqqle[/MENTION], thanks for your thorough review on Leapdroid.

About file sharing, we have it, but not exposed in a simple way. If you open virtualbox manager, you will see a shared folder on Windows, inside VM, it is in /mnt/shared folder, you can copy paste files there. This is how we install apk too.

All your observations are good, and will polish Leapdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=7553356]melo1992[/MENTION], sorry about this late reply. You will have to use adb for now to install apk before we enable drag and drop, more info here:

Few issues:

Not allow for edit /system (can't edit build.prop even I get rooted)

Not allow for edit maximum cores and execution cap

Can't hook as game capture with OBS

The navigation Bar seems bugged, it not hiding when using some Hide soft key apps like this one: GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys ★ root
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
You can do "adb remount" to gain write permission to system

You can change settings using VirtualBox.exe from our installation folder. Then invoke vm1 or vm2!" By adding an option -novtcheck, this way your settings will be kept. You can manually edit vm1.xml file to change settings too if gui doesnot allow.

About obs, obs studio should work with directX mode (the latest version). OpenGL mode you can use game capture. We will add obs soon.

About toolbar, we will look at it.

One question. Where do I find the directory of the app I install in Leapdroid? I just want to mesh around :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Minecraft_:
game data: /data/data/

game apk: /data/app/
[Android Apps and Games] EternalNight:
Can you be more specific? I don't find any data folder :(
[Android Apps and Games] Minecraft_:
You can use "adb" command to access the Android file system. Steps are:

1. Run "cmd"

2. Go to LeapDroid installation folder, e.g., c:\program files\Leapdroid\VM

3. Type "adb shell"

4. Type "cd /data/data/"

Instructions to create shared folder manually

To answer a frequent asked question: how to configure shared folder between host and android VM.

1. Launch VirtualBox.exe located typically under "C:\Program Files\Leapdroid\VM".

2. Click the vms you want to configure. In the example, we used vm1. Then clicks "Settings" button.

3. Go to "Shared Folders" and then click the "add" button located at the right of Setting Window.

3.a Folder Path: Enter the folder path on host that you want to share with the android VM.

3.b Folder Name: Enter the name that you want to show inside android VM.

The host folder will be mounted inside android VM at /mnt/shared/<Folder Name in 3.b>.

How to run multiple VMs at the same time

Hello, I tried some Android VM - leapandroid is working very well - amazing...

is it possible to create more instances like vm1/vm2/vm3/vm4 ...vmn then users can start each virtual machine with equivalent resolutions. and those virtual machines can sync together like when press one button on master VM other clients VM will do the same actions.
[Android Apps and Games] dmstarchikov:
I hope somebody will help me. At first, I didn't touch the settings of the virtual machine. Then shadow fight 2 reported that you have enough RAM. I went to the settings of the virtual machine. Increased amount of memory until 1952 MB, also increased the video memory to 128 MB. shadow fight 2 has stopped notifying about the lack of RAM. But the frequency of departures of the other apps: the Simpsons tapped out has increased significantly. How to improve the situation? Below is the configuration of my laptop is current.

[Android Apps and Games] Minecraft_:
There is already VM2 instance created during installation. The shortcut LeapDroidVM2 will start VM2.

If more instances needed, you can use "clone VM" feature of virtualbox.

For syncing input to multiple VMs, could I know what is the usage case? I have not seen this function implemented yet.

Hi guys,

I've able to use ADB now in a stable way (emulator-5554, 5556 etc.) but discovered today a huge memory leak.

Commands that I use excessively are screencap for get the screenshot into shared folder.

VM1 is configured on CPU and 500MB RAM... after a couple hundred screencaps, process looks like this:

I've tested my script with NOX emulator, no memory leaking problem but Leapdroid performance is better.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
You just need to put back /system/xbin/su, if you don't have it in vm1, you can grab it from vm2
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Thanks for reporting this memory leak, we are debugging this, will fix this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Since no one answer this one, I will try. To install as system app, the key is to put the apk and .so files into /system partition. You can do the following:

(1) adb remount

(2) adb push your apk to /system/priv-app, make sure you change permission to the apk inside system, chmod 777 your apk

(3) adb push your .so files to /system/lib, also change permssion, chmod 777 your .so files

If you need more info, please post back your questions. I do this a lot inside our Android apps, so it should work.

About faked GPS, we will support it in next release (to be released very soon), so you don't really need Faked GPS. Of course, since it crashes, we still need to fix the issues.

[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Start vm2, then use this command:

[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Do you mean when you type Persian chars from your PC keyboard, input does not go into the android system?

On your PC, can you select an input method? If so, try that.

Otherwise, you can install a software IME inside the android, and disable the hardware keyboard. You can go to Settings, Input & Languages
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
I can assure you, it is worth waiting for. We implemented a seamless GPS emulation, the new release will be out soon.
[Android Apps and Games] vbigdeli:
Yeah I didn't see Persian Keys while I'm typing..I don't have same issue with Nox.

Please Install Persian and try for a sec in chrome URL bar or somewhere else for typing .

I don't want to install external keyboard since I know it's not a big deal for you :) Persian Encoding is UTF-8 like other Middle Eastern keyboards.

http://www.leapdroid.com/download.php
[Android Apps and Games] TryHardBlueonMac:
You should have linked this thread for me, instead of just giving an external link to an emulator most people have never heard of yet.

ALSO... fair warning to anyone looking to download this current version.

It has no option on where to install it, it'll force itself into Program Files.

It make a ton of obscure registry entries that imo aren't needed.

Once installed it's very difficult to move to another directory and still keep working.

APK button does not install current APKs.

Driver and software is signed by unknown/not yet trusted developer.

It calls home directly when you uninstall it and sends who knows what, didn't have a network analyzer running when it did.

It does boot faster than any other emulator I've tried... but to the effect of it being user friendly and practically functional and following proper programming etiquette.... it's a fail.. currently.

Who knows.. maybe they're get their stuff together and fix all these basic issues.

Is there a way to get the right, left arrow keys + home, end etc keys working like they do on the host within the emulator? One of the things that I like about the Memu emulator for example is that it can be used like a computer with key combinations like CTRL+C and CTRL+V being available.

Another thing that's worth mentioning is that when I try to copy a password from host to the LeapDroid VM, I'm unable to login, no matter which app it is. Supposedly, the password/username combination isn't correct. Why is that?

Thanks for testing Leapdroid.

About registry keys, we don't add any more entries than VirtualBox. All other vbox based emulators have the same entries, it is just that they don't even know how to build vbox, so they use a very old unmodified vbox, thus their registry keys aye created vbox, and same to drivers, since they use original vbox drivers, so no need to resign. We modified vbox, s we have to use our company signature to sign.

In short, we do NOT add additional keys than vbox.

Believe or not, no one knows better on android emulators than I do. We will kill all other emulators over time.

[Android Apps and Games] TryHardBlueonMac:
Well alright, double checking can see registry entries are similar. And ok on the driver.. but at the VERY least... make a custom install directory option on the installer.

Instructions how to move install folder for now would be nice, I've changed all registry key entries and used safe mode to boot without the hidden process or service running (couldn't find it attached to the driver but I know it's somewhere in memory) that keeps the vm driver active, even doing all that, your emu wont boot once location changed. So maybe you have internal or backup settings somewhere keeping it from being moved? Using personal folders for image storage also IMO is not a wise practice... most C drives now are SSD or in my case m.2 SSD for OS only, and most VM images and programs are loaded onto WD blacks. As to keep the OS drive more clean and less read/writes. While the major read/writes happen on traditional hard drives. Hence.. drives me nuts that I don't even have a VM console gui to boot up for your emu that allows me to change image locations. Or is there and I just missed it?

I still have issues using multitouch in games like dead trigger, neon shadow, etc. I have a multitouch windows tablet, and in the games, I can't use two fingers on the screen at the same time. It works if I use a mouse, keyboard, and your mapping overlay, but not when using the actual touchscreen.

On the note of touch enabled devices, I also think it would be a good idea to remember the changes to language and input settings when it comes to a physical keyboard.

Tried it on my (german) surface pro 4. It is very fast, way faster than MEMU.

Two main issues are bothering me: I'm not able to change the hardware keyboard to german. Therefore I cannot use it for passwords with many special characters. Second: The touchscreen doesn't get my finger right. In Nova launcher I cannot longpress-move Icons (have to use the mouse) or two-finger-zoom.

Any hints?
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=590579]xep624[/MENTION]

We are fixing some Persian input bugs, German might be the same root cause. Basically there is a bug handling Unicode. When you input German, are you using the standard USA keyboard but with German as input? We wanted to reproduce this issue.

As for Multi-touch, that will be our next target. It is now about the time to add more features to Leapdroid.
