It is good to know that hang does not happen in your box. You know, we are not Avast and hence not able to really tell in which version/product from Avast (and in which scenario) they turned on their mini hypervisor. And even they turned on the hypervisor, we do not know whether it will hang specific CPU model or all.

The troubleshooting is more like a reminder to our users to pay attention to such kind of conflicts.

We are happy at least our first impression to you is a "+". :)

I am also surprised Andy came with VMWare. I will try to reproduce your case in our local environment to double check.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

I installed Andy on our system too. But I can still successfully install and run Leapdroid. Did you have any specific settings?

Is is possible we can have remote access to take a look?

Loading Screen

Hi all

I am having an issue with the latest release for win x86. When I launch the Leapdroid VM1 shortcut the program loads but then all I get is a black window with the LeapDroid logo that is flashing and a controls bar on the side of the window.

If I try the VM2 shortcut only a splash screen appears with no application following.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Bingo! Uninstalled Avast and it's working again.

I have another issue, the game Horizon Chase freezes, it's a great retro racing game, was hopping to play on the big screen...

Thanks for the awesome support! ????
[Android Apps and Games] zapoqx:
Let me address this one first as its important to mention:

Since the 2016 of Bitdefender (no matter which version of 2016 bitdefender), it seems to have caused problems mainly on the gaming front and I would suspect that it may not be any different in the virtual-standpoint. Several games that had launched this year would for some reason not work until you actually uninstalled the program. For 2015, it seems outside of the one issue that had happened involving the memory leak issue, it hasn't had any issue with games, but some games depending on how the files were accessed either increased loadtimes or caused games to crash (cause the game for some reason timed out when waiting for files to load and its not loading).

Since I mentioned the file transfer, one thing I had noticed was the moment I start going above 6 GB on the virtual disk is when I started to have issues where at some point, leapdroid MAY fail to launch (i.e. stuck on the splash screen when using vm1/vm2 from the main installer). Transferring the disk to another VM usually solves it, but only temporarily. Then after it leaves, that VM gets affected as well. If uninstalling and reinstalling happens, it fixes the entire issue until you transfer the save. It then seems to work for a couple of starts until it decides to fail. Re-assigning the disk from the virtualbox program seems to fix it, but only temporarily. Reinstalling as a fresh copy and putting on the apps you had before hand seems to work for a while once more. Telling BitDefender Internet Security 2015 (in my case) by excluding both the process to leapdroid and the folders the saves were in seemed to fix this issue from ever coming back and its going well beyond 8 GB.

So I would say maybe it may be best to have people with AV softwares to not only attempt to try (if possible) to either exclude the VM and the save locations or uninstall the anti-virus in question and see if it works or improves things that otherwise wasn't working right.

alright, this one is an example that is similar to Bitdefender 2016. The other thing to mention is that I know AVG was recently acquired by Avast. Considering some of the AVG software's integrations (and one of its variants), AVG may or may not soon exhibit the same behaviors in the future. This one, devs, you may want to add at least to your list of things to be aware of in the future to check if it will or will not work as how it runs could get similar workings as Avast.

Well i already uninstalled Andy and VMware, that i had to do to install Leapdroid like i said.

But i found this on the net "Andy is a free Android emulator that runs on VMware VirtualBox technology."

"I found that quite often you need to start VMware Workstation XX Player manually and see if it shows any messages. Then try to lunch your Andy VM from \Users\.username\AppData\Roaming\Andy\machines\19e07117-....-....-....-490e37d9b6ff\images) using VMW Player and then start Andy Console. And wualya it working again ("Ф")"

"The new version of Andy using VMware Player , not VirtualBox"

"Andyroid uninstalls VMware Workstation 12 and other vmware products without asking":

http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/535585880/490125737485651513/

To be honest i dont know another program that could have installed it, my first suspect was Andy.

Can I know which game?

For the second request, we are enabling rotation in our next release.

We will have "shared folder" option in later release.

For now, shared folder actually exists but not explicitly exposed to user.

On host, the folder location is at c:\users\$your_user_name$\appdata\roaming\yiwanzhushou\share\, copy your images to here.

On VM, it will be at /mnt/shared/yw_shared/
[Android Apps and Games] manicDROID:
Fantastic emulator, great work, and thank you!

Curious why all local VMs utilize the same device identifiers? Some games lock to the device, meaning, you can only have one account per device.

Other emulators (MEmu, in this case), generates new device identifiers for each VM, allowing for a new account in each VM.

Finally, I see that an Android 6.0 version is "coming" - I'm curious if we'll see an update to the current 4.4.4 version, prior to the jump to 6.0?

- some apps/games do not work on 6.0, so I'm hoping 4.4.4 will get some additional updates and performance tuning before it's no longer actively developed.

Thank you!

If you use above method to upgrade Leapdroid and get "unknown internal error" on the next run. Here's the solution:

- Go to Leapdroid Installation folder and run VirtualBox.exe

- Menu File -> Virtual Media Manager

- In Hard Disk tab you will see your data.vmdk with triangle icon

- Right click on data.vmdk (the one with triangle icon) -> choose Release

- Right click on data.vmdk again -> choose Remove

- Close Virtual Media Manager

- Open vm1 setting

- In Storage section -> re-add data.vmdk

[MENTION=4359394]huisinro[/MENTION]: please update your help section with above steps 'cos the error definitely occurs in the second run after replacing data.vmdk.

Leapdroid (Emulator) vs Remix OS for PC (Native Android OS for PC)

which do u think will win?
[Android Apps and Games] rexxar31:
Any help on this problem? I am using Windows 10 Enterprise. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
This is a good question. One thing I'd like to mention, very few people play games on desktop Linux. Pretty much most games perform better on Windows than on Linux. The reason is that Windows uses DirectX, whereas Linux uses OpenGL, and GPU vendors supply much better DirectX driver support for Windows, compared to OpenGL counterpart for Linux.

Virtual Machines, such as LeapDroid, can forward android OpenGL calls to windows DirectX engine, and thus take advantage of the much better GPU support. If you native boot the PC into Android, like Remix, one can only use the Linux OpenGL drivers, which are much poorly supported by vendors.

In summary, Leapdroid graphics performance has a better chance beating Remix.

Problem with simultaneous VMs

Greetings,

I am running 3 Android VMs at the same time through LeapDroid.

The first two are working normally, but there is no keyboard input in the third one (which is a clone of the second VM through the VirutalBox interface).

For an odd reason, VM3's keyboard works fine unless VM2 is running at the same time, at this point, the keyboard inputs in the VM3 are sent in VM2.

Is there a way to fix this please?

Do you have an idea of what could create this issue?

[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
I just wanted to toss this out there. On windows 10, I had a few issues with other emulators installed that caused leapdriod not to work correctly. I removed all emulators and all traces of everything, then installed Leapdriod and it's been a perfect flawless experience. I love it, thank you for making this emulator.. I get so sick of the slow lagging mass advertisements of andy-andriod, and every other of the 15 emulators out there I tried were incapable of playing the gamesI wanted from the playstore (or didn't even have access to the playstore).

also;

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD developers, make it so I can resize leapdriod... and I'm referring to the black bars on the left and right side being stuck on the screen, which causes my apps to stretch and compact until nothing is readable or viewable. The sizing issue is the only reason I debate continuing it's use.. I can't have leapdriod taking up my ENTIRE SCREEN, but if I resize it to be smaller or take up just the one side of the screen, it stretches the app and makes it unuseable.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Thanks, and your wishes will come true shortly. Our upcoming release today addresses the resizing and portrait mode, i.e., rotation.

Trying to use the new version of LeapDroid on a tablet (ASUS T100TA). I'm getting 3 problems I reported with the previous version:

1. I can't press and hold on a touchscreen - it doesn't do anything

2. Rotation is still not working right on my tablet. When I rotate the tablet in fullscreen mode, the image inside the VM rotates but the VM itself takes only about 1/3 of the screen space, filling it only horizontally. The rest of the vertical space is black.

3. Even though I set the correct resolution in the shortcut (-w 1368 -h 768), it still shows a black bar on the right in fullscreen mode. The same happens if I run the shortcut without any command line options.

This software has the potential to become the best Android emulator for Windows tablets, but unfortunately the issues above make it difficult to use on a tablet. I hope these issues are addressed in future versions. I own AMI DuOS, which is also based on VirtualBox, and it doesn't have any of these problems; however, LeapDroid is a lot faster and I would like to switch to it eventually.

If there are any workarounds for the issues I mentioned, particularly 1 and 2, please let me know!
