Just tried this, I can say wow that was lightning fast, the best speed among all emulator I've tried.

My suggestion as follow :

1. Provide more manual and help inside the main program.

2. Provide proper way to backup and restore virtual machine (from previous version) to be use on new updated version.

3. Provide option for file sharing between windows and leapdroid (you know as like nox and memu does).

4. Provide more info for common user how to customize their VM like how make new VM, edit VM RAM, etc (I can see that this can be done editing the setting on VM on VirtualBox Program).

5. Provide more freedom for user to customize where the want to place the leapdroid program and VM location.

Keep the good work and thanks.

this is my porblema every time I go to play for a while nothing more please.

Every time every moment the game is freezing.

Did you use our FullInstaller or MSI installer? Did you happen to have a screen shot for this?
[Android Apps and Games] VanillaVampire:
FullInstaller an no i didnt happen to take screen shot
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is is possible to try install once more: when the error message pops up, do not click it but instead check whether in your Documents folder a Leapdroid folder is created (and inside that directory, you can find three VMDK files under VMs\vm1)?
[Android Apps and Games] VanillaVampire:
I see data, sdcard, and system
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks! It is weird.

Sorry we need to ask you try once more. Here are the steps:

1> Make sure to delete <Your Documents folder>\Leapdroid and C:\Program Files\Leapdroid.

2> Launch the FullInstaller. When you see the error, again please do not click OK button. The installer should be halted there.

3> Check to make sure <Your Documents folder>\Leapdroid and C:\Program Files\Leapdroid contain things meaningful (They are used to place VMDK files and program binaries).

4> You need to open a windows "cmd" console window with administrator privilege. In that window, do the following command:

4.a cd C:\Program Files\Leapdroid\VM

4.b DoCustomActions.exe InstallR1

From the console window, you should be able to see more output.

Or if possible, could you set up a remote access so that we could take a look?
[Android Apps and Games] VanillaVampire:
well i went and tried the msi installer all went well but when i open it i get this error

Great emulator !!! Now I Can play Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5 ... but ... force close when playing Happy Mall Game from Playstore
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Are you referring to the game from HappyLabs? just tested this game, and yes crashed with the default directX mode, but it works with OpenGL mode. For now, you can append -opengl option (along with -vfiber) on leapdroid vm1 shortcut property on your desktop to switch to OpenGL. We are resolving this in directX mode, but will take more time.
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
At least you get an error mate.

[Android Apps and Games] dmstarchikov:
The emulator I like, but there is a need for fine tuning. Also have a few questions. Hope to get answers and help.

Problems:

1) No possibility to change hot keys,

2) The key binding is not the key (as in big games for PC), and the key and the keyboard layout. I must first switch to English layout, then enable the key binding. Otherwise it will not work,

3) Each time the key binding must be enabled manually,

4) Shadow Fight 2: after every promotional video or slide off the key binding,

5) Games can't write in Russian. Russian characters cannot be entered.

Questions and requests:

1) My laptop has two video cards: Intel and Nvidia. How to make a laptop to emulate a used graphics card from Nvidia?

2) I would like to see the ability to record video in the emulator,

3) Really looking forward to moving to the Android 6 Marshmallow.

Thank you.

Again with this

Hi, since I got no reply I post it again, I have this issue with the icons and not only affect the icons, it affects too games and apps like weirds textures, missing textures and black squares.

[IMG="This"]https://s32.postimg.org/947pfybzp/sddsd.jpg[/IMG]

Opengl mode solve it but I can't launch games (in Pokémon GO the emulator just crash after 15 secs in black screen), also like the 75% of time trying to launch Leapdroid in opengl mode it just crash, one fix to avoid this was putting the emulator on fullscreen but in every game happens:

1. Send me to the home screen.

or

2. Black screen forever until I just hit the home button.

I'm running this on:

Win 8.1 64bits

Intel® G41 Express Chipset (I know it old but I can't afford a video card for now)

4GB Ram

This happened to me too with Bluestacks but they create a registry file that solve it but I don't know what things they change for fix that problem.

one piece treasure cruise

I can't seem to get One piece treasure cruise to run properly on leapdroid. The install went smoothly and I can open the game but it crashes after being open for a few seconds. I have managed to get other games/apps to work with leapdroid just can't get this.
[Android Apps and Games] leapdroid_suppport:
Thanks for the feedback. Could you provide the following input for us to debug?

1, what is the output of running "dxdiag" from the windows? could you give a snap shot of tab "Display"?

2, which version of leapdroid you are using? Is it the latest 1.3.1.0?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dmstarchikov:
Now stopped working the app "shadow fight 2". Writes an error at startup.
[Android Apps and Games] CAMO95:
This is the snap of display and sorry for the spanish is my native idiom but I think is the same windows for english, In adition I test with the original driver (the one that comes with windows 8.1) to make sure that the Royald BNA driver wasn't the cause but it result the same problem.

The DirectX Feactures are all Enabled

And yes, I'm using the 1.3.1.0 version.

[Android Apps and Games] Minecraft_:
A neat, clean and fast emulator with good game compatibility.

Here is my feedback after playing with Leapdroid emulator.

Pros:

1, Clean and Fast: I am impressed by its booting speed, and I am glad not see any annoying pop-up ad window. The home screen is neat and games icons are the links which guide to install from google play.

2, Good game compatibility: I am excited that I can finally play Minecraft on the emulator:). I had tried several other emulators on which Minecraft was always crashed. Also played some top games on Google play, e.g., Game of War, Mobile Strike, and Sniper 3D.

All of them runs very smooth.

3, Play like a Pro: Key mapping is pre-configured and auto-loaded for some games, like Sniper 3D. I achieved a much higher score!

Cons:

Drag-and-Drop APK installation is not yet available. To install APK, I have to use command line "adb install <apk name>" in the installation directory --- c:\Program Files\Leapdroid\VM\

Conclusion:

A neat, clean and fast emulator with good game compatibility. Looking for accessory tools in the future release.
[Android Apps and Games] :
You must not tell me my Windows 10 64-bit is messed up. Quite reverse it's absolutely clean. IMHO it's a lousy software you actually distribute.

As I have noticed: If Leapdroid's installer starts it creates temporary file leapdroid-install.7z. This archive contains the 2 folders install & rom. Folder install contains archive vbox-64.zip. Archive vbox-64.zip contains both DoCustomActions.exe and msvcr100.dll.

Hence if DoCustomActions.exe gets executed it should find library msvcr100.dll it references because it's located in the same folder. Point.

BTW: The version of msvcr100.dll you suggested to download from MS is older than the one installed on my laptop.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=1890170]jwoegerbauer[/MENTION] Please don't take my words personally :) The installation process is actually simple, yes, if all of those files are extracted into places, you can actually invoke DoCustomActions.exe to perform the post installations.

C:\Program Files\Leapdroid\VM>DoCustomActions.exe

please specify a function to invoke.

usage: DoCustomActions.exe Install | Install360 | Uninstall | Uninstall360

You can launch Windows command prompt as Administrator, then run "DoCustomActions.exe Install" to install.

Leapdroid appearently fastest actual Android emulator

Today ran 3DMark - the gamer's benchmark tool - against Leapdroid, MEmu and BlueStacks. Resume: Leapdroid is fastest.

The benchmark results ( OpenGL ES 2.0, 1080p, Test: IceStorm Extreme ) on my Windows 10 64bit HAV-enabled Lenovo G505s laptop:

Leapdroid 1.0.0.1 (settings: custom - 2048 MB RAM, 48 MB VRAM, 2 cores)

Emulates ASUS Nexus 7 - with Android 4.4.4

Scores: 7823

MEmu 2.6.5 (settings: custom - 2 cores, 2048 MB RAM, 48 MB VRAM)

Emulates Samsung GT-P5210 - with Android 4.2.2

Scores: 7765

BlueStacks 2.0 (settings: default - you can't tweak anything there!)

Emulates Samsung Galaxy Note II - with Android 4.4.2

Scores: 6860

If you have a GMAIL account, then you don't need adb to install an .APK-file.

a) Install GMAIL on Leapdroid

b) Open on your desktop GMAIL

1. Write a null text e-mail to yourself

2. Attach the .APK-file you want to install on Leapdroid

3. Send the e-mail

c) Open GMAIL on Leapdroid

1. Navigate to the e-mail got

2. Click / tap on attached .APK-File

3. Leapdroid will install it
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=1890170]jwoegerbauer[/MENTION] I am glad it finally works for you, and thanks for the feedbacks and helps. If you know the cause for the installation issues, please post more info here, so we can fix them in next releases.

About the performance, I will explain more in next messages about what we do differently, there are reasons why Leapdroid is fastest.
[Android Apps and Games] :
You really have eagle eyes

The file you've found is really the engine and ROMs. The Installer just unpacks it and calls "DoCustomActions.exe InstallR" to get the it installed. The ROMs has to be placed at the right place <Documents\Leapdroid\VMs\vm1> before calling that.

If you prefer, this is the manual approach.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

This is clever.

Actually, our "adb install" is pretty fast. We used it everyday for testing game compatibility.

BTW: we only need a simple "adb install". I know some other emulators would need "adb connect ip:port" first and the speed is not quite satisfying.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

We can go far more than existing 2 VMs. It is currently limited by a constant in code.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
why leapdroid is faster

We have done many things to make Leapdroid to be the fastest emulator. I will explain more in this thread.

Today, let's look at the vm processes. Leapdroid uses the least number of processes. To launch n VMs, we will have to run n+1 processes (one process for each vm, then sharing one common LeapdroidSVC process), whereas all other emulators must run 2 * n + 1 processes. In other words, for each vm, our competitor uses one more process than us, which wastes cpu and memory, the worst is that it slows down performance. Our competitors launch at least 2 processes for each vm, one process is VBoxHeadless.exe (64-bit or 32-bit, depending on the cpu), plus a 32-bit viewer process. Their viewer process is always 32-bit, even on 64-bit systems. The VBoxHeadless.exe is the vm process, which handles huge amount of opengl data, and sends all these data to the 32-bit viewer process. You can immediately see the downside on this architecture, as there are huge amount of inter-process data transfer. This fact alone reduces performances significantly.

Within Leapdroid, the viewer and the headless vm launcher are inside the same process, so there is no inter-process communications, and thus the fastest performance. We use 64-bit on 64-bit machines, and 32-bit on 32-bit machines. We never use 32-bit viewer on 64-bit machines.

Hopefully you can get some ideas now on why Leapdroid is faster compared to others, this is just one of the many reasons. I will reveal more info later on. Stay tuned !
[Android Apps and Games] ImageCraft:
really hope to see the sound issue get fixed, thats the only thing that kept me away from using it as my main server (and easier ways to share files between emulator & pcbut im fine with it for the moment). the speed is really amazing!
[Android Apps and Games] Zolchi:
What can i say. You guys are awesome.

I don't know anything about your codings, file directory mumbo jumbo and APKs. I just wanted to play some android apps on my laptop because my crappy iPad 2 lags. I have been trying a few out lately (the past week or 2) and was reasonably happy. Read a couple of posts here and there and got the gist of things and how great have improved since 2010...meh.

Then i randomly came across your program and thought here we go again. But this **** is so fricken cool!

Keep up the great job and striving attitude to produce quality workmanship.

P.S. I mean no disrespect to the countless developers/people with the progression over the years either. :p

[MENTION=7549005]ImageCraft[/MENTION] Can you describe a bit more on the audio problems? Is it the quality not good? Does audio work well with other emulators?
[Android Apps and Games] outrain:
Why all other emulators use 32 viewer on 64 platform? I assume they have a reason for that? Also, is 2 processes vs 1 process a big deal for performance?
[Android Apps and Games] :
On the Windows host since Windows 7 by design exist "shared" folders, the so-called libraries. The default libraries are Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. Since Windows 8 also Downloads. Why not simply map these 5 in Leapdroid, so they can be seen / accessed from within Leapdroid? AFAIK only 5 lines of code in VBox and 5 lines of code in Android needed to accomplish this.

Of course I can do it by myself if it doesn't become a standard feature of Leapdroid, this because my copy of Leapdroid is rooted.

BTW: BusyBox pre-installed in Leapdroid is outdated, a newer version exists.
[Android Apps and Games] ImageCraft:
there are quite a lot of those background noise, especially when there's explosion sound effect or something like that. and the background noise is still there when only in game background music playing, just not as worse. it's also happening on memu and everything i've tried (besides bluestack but it always fail to load) but at least it's easier to share files and can backup for now
[Android Apps and Games] :
Next annoyance which drives me nuts

Just after a fresh boot of Windows and trying to start LeapDroid suddenly get error message that VBoxRT.dll is missing, although it's present.

Same is with VBoxDDU.dll which also is present and not missing.

Wondering why always me?

1. Backed up folder Documents\Leapdroid\VMs

2. Uninstalled LeapDroid using IObit Uninstaller

3. Re-installed LeapDroid

4. Copied backed up folder onto Documents\Leapdroid\VMs

Et voilà all got restored, no data lost. Thank God! Now I know how to lossless backup LeapDroid's VMs.

BTW:

If you uninstall LeapDroid then afterwards IObit Uninstaller reports that 5 traces (files) are left on Windows computer.

Additionally found that folder C:\Programs\Leapdroid got not removed.

Thank you for this emulator. As far as i see it uses VirtualBox as emulation backend. Can LeapDroid being shipped as a plugin to VirtualBox ? This is something that would be interesting:

- company / advertising into the VM

- external component (i suppose drivers, wrappers) shipped as modules for VirtualBox

Thus, it would allow 1 only instance of VirtualBox kept up to date and additionnals products
