[Q] Genymotion on windows 10 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have this working? I am seeing no information about it, and ran into a road block when trying to do it myself. Something about failed to initialize the virtualization engine or something.

My problem is that I can't get VirtualBox to install. It gets 3/4 way through installing, then "rolls back" and tells me there was a fatal error.

The problem as of current is the install of network virtual adapters on non-beta in Virtualbox. As genymotion completes install with the no V.B. install. And I don't blame the folks for waiting for Windows 10 to be final and stable before tackling it. You are beta testing Windows 10, as am I, So there really isn't a proper channel to apeal too. You should never install a beta OS on your main machine, at least not as the main OS, and expect everything to work smoothly. Im afraid to say it, but there is nothing we can do yet, just wait for M$ to straighten their end out, as it worked via build 10056, but M$ broke it after that. I am currently trying to get the beta Virtualbox to install via editing ORCA. I'll update when I have more.
Update
Virtualbox 5.0 beta 4 installs, no problem. However Genymotion refuses to see it installed as it is a beta, so until V.B. is finalized for 5.0, and Windows has been closer to completion, well see more. Whatever I tried in ORCA, I had no success. Ironically when Genymotion broke in Windows 10 build 10056, so did my sound but the most recent build, 10122, brought my sound back and allows VB betas to work but not the stable version.
if you want to try the beta for virtualbox 5.0 Beta 4 resides here :

Hi,
does this mean you installed the beta 4 on TP 10122 *with* the virtual network adapter without rollback?

Yes, however Genymotion doesn't recognize it.

Thank you, I will try the new beta.
I miss Genymotion too but I have a installed Win10 guest where I need the virtual bridge network (NAT is running ofc).

Sorry, but as expected the beta 4 wizard "ended prematurely" as before.
I had to reinstall VB without the virtual network bridge again.

For those interested, w10 build 10130 and genymotion (2.5 just launched today), still issues.

I think this is VirtualBox issue, not Genymotion`s

Virtualbox runs fine on Windows 10 build 10130. However genymotion seems to have problems initializing it. I believe this is a genymotion problem.

Well, i have "virtualization plugin not found" issue. It comes because of virtualbox can`t properly install "Host-only network adapter" driver on win10.

Sorry you are right about that. The problem is Virtualbox and host-only network adapter. I had created a VM in vbox and ran it so I thought it wasn't the problem.
What is really annoying is that it actually does create the adapter. If you go to Device Manger -> Network Adapters -> you will see Virtual box host-only adapters listed there.
So it's really close to working just something fails at the end of the process.

I was able to get genymotion working in Windows 10.
It is failing trying to create the host-only adapter, so you must do it yourself manually, and then it will use that.
- Run virtualbox as administrator
- Go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host Only Networks
- Add a new network. IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199
- Save all and exit
- Now run genymotion.
It works!

Hello,
I can not add a new Host Only Networks on my PC. So I modified the existing network with same IP above but I can not run Genymotion.
I also tried to stop, start vboxdrv service (used sc.exe start vboxdrv on cmd) and it still was not success.
I restarted my PC many times and it still was not success too. But I saw that everytimes I run Genymotion, it had new network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox. I think Genymotion didn't use my network that I configed before.
So I go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings. I saw 2 VirtualBox Ethenet. I disabled once and configed the remain likes network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox.
I run Genymotion again and it's works. I use Windows 10 Build 10162, Genymotion 2.5.0, VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC2. Please see my picture.
Sorry my English. Hope this help.
Thanks grennis .

@nguyenthanhhai
Your solution sounds awesome but I can't figure out how to do it.
If you could please post a step by step instruction with screenshots (all the way from installing virtualbox). Or just record yourself doing it (screen recording), that would be purely amazing !!!
Thanks so much for your help

The idea is to setup a host-only network the way genymotion likes it whether you do it from vbox (run as administrator!) like I did, or from WIndows network settings like nguyenthanhhai did.. Then it won't try to create a new one. Give the adapter IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199. I also have genymotion running just fine, this does work.

At last
Yep, win 10 build 10162 works fine

At least, Genymotion working on build 10162. Thank you very much grennis and nguyenthanhhai.

Thank you for your help.
Now I could at least start Genymotion player again and my virtual guests too.
But I have nowhere internet access.
How should I configure the Windows VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter, especially DSN-server and gateway?
I cannot use DHCP because of VMWare installed with an own DHCP-server.
I am running VB 5.0 RC3 and Genymotion 2.50.
Thank you.

Use PC internet connection on phone through USB!

USB tethering on froyo works if you need to use the phone's internet on PC. Sometimes, we just need to do it the other way around (lets say the PC doesn't have a wireless card, or we only have ad-hoc networks that are not discoverable without patching) and use our PC's net on android through USB.
Few people have done it using bridges. I did it using squid proxy server on ubuntu.
1.) Install squid and allow http access to all required clients.
2.) Connect the phone with usb tethering on.
3.) Ubuntu detects it as usb0. Now change the ip of usb0 from 'Automatic DHCP' to 'Shared to other computers'.
4.) Fire up the terminal emulator and enter the following.
#su
#netcfg usb0 dhcp
If all went well, you should now be able to connect to the internet.
Tried it and it's not working for me...
Or maybe i didn't setup squid right.
I'm not so good on ubuntu OS
I tried making a bridge connection on windows...the networks
The network seems to be connected but no internet connection...
Is it necessary to have Ubuntu OS?
Maybe some another how-to will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793102
To setup squid to work:
type in:
sudo gedit /etc/squid/squid.conf
In that file find the section called
# ACCESS CONTROLS
Under the section find the line
#Recommended minimum configuration:
and add this line next to it
acl all src all
then find the section
# TAG: http_access
Under this section find the line
#Default:
and add the following line to look like
#Default:
http_access allow all
Close the file and restart squid as:
sudo start squid
That should setup squid to share your internet on all clients.
If required, reboot.
You can try out a similar approach on any other distro other than ubuntu.
i tried several searches about this topic, but none of them succeeded,
any update on this?
can i install ubuntu in my Win7?

Well, you can virtualize it in Virtual box. It's free for personal use.
by the way what is the squid your talking about?
@ TS
maybe you can provide us with the link for ubuntu and squid?
Come on.. if you don't already know what ubuntu and squid are there's no point in trying this.
Ubuntu = Linux, that's another operating system. Squid is a proxy.
You ashould at least have the decency of Googling those for yourself..

Hi guys,
Do you know why I wouldn't be able to see "USB tethering" option? No matter what I did so far, all I can see is the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" option and that works fine. But I need to use the USB Tethering!!!
Thanks for the help!
If someone is having the same problem as me (ie usb tethering mode not visible) just use a program called togglesettings lite. It can turn on the usb tethering for you. Now the reverse usb tethering works for me like a charm. Peace!

Thank you for sharing this trick. But i dont have netcfg utility, since i use ubuntu maverick 10.10, it is not in source list. is ther any other way to do "netcfg usb0 dhcp"?
This is by far the easiest solution I've found to reverse tether. Thanks!

netcfg is not there on recent ubuntu versions not even software list but you can configure via app indicator at right but still i can't use reverse tethering although i followed you pretty well.
netcfg is a utlility on the phone... u need to run that command at the terminal of the phone not on your computer. (get a terminal emulator from the market)
Wow I'm feeling stupid.Will give it a go now.

Odin Tutorial on VirtualBox: do you need it? :)

Hi all
I spent last 2 days working on Odin.. I wanted to emulate it on my Slackware Linux machine 'cause I don't like to boot Windows every time I need it! I have to say that the most of the time I spent on that was reserved to downloading the VirtualBox binaries tarball, which is about 80 MB (you know, here where actually I am I don't have a real internet connection 'cause it's not the place where I usually live, it's my parents home and I can't pay for 2 ADSL.. but this is another story.. ).
So, I installed VirtualBox and create a winXP emulated OS, I configured it just like the way I want and then I start to work on Odin..
What to say: it works like a charm! It's great!, really! Finally I will not reboot my laptop to start winZoZZ anymore!!
So I would like to ask if you are interested in such a thing: I can make a Tutorial explaining better all the step needed to make it work, if you like.. you know, writing a good How-to it's always a real work, so I'll do it only if someone cares about it..
OK, that's all, for now..
see ya!
I would love to know how you got Odin working under VirtualBox.
I can't get past the point where I attach the usb device and get
Failed to attach the USB device Sasmsung MSM7x30 [0100] to the virtual machine XP.
Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Hi,
I get the same error when i try to attach the usb device
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
i found a solution for the problem! I have tested this under Ubuntu 11.10.
The problem is, that the wrong kernel module handles the usb device.
So unplug the phone from your pc. Unload the module cdc_acm:
Code:
modprobe -r cdc_acm
And blacklist the module:
Add to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf the following:
Code:
blacklist cdc_acm
Now plug in your usb device again and voila, you fixed it =)
hope that helps somebody...
Thank you h44z, that solved my problem to. (SUSE)
Thank You!!!
I know we're just supposed to hit the Thank you button, but it just doesn't seem enough.
I've been frustrated by this since I first got my phone. Even thought about buying an old second-hand laptop just for Odin.
Your solution was also instrumental in helping me salvage a hard-bricked phone.
Thank you Thank you THANK YOU
Need to Reinsert Module for Printing
I don't have a working printer at home, so didn't realise this until I needed to print something out from VirtualBox this week at work.
It seems that VirtualBox does need the cdc_acm module for printing via USB.
Reversing the process was quite easy:
Shut down VirtualBox
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and either delete "blacklist cdc_acm" or comment it out by putting a "#" before it.
In a terminal, enter "modprobe cdc_acm" as root
Restart VirtualBox
Not sure if all that was necessary; perhaps just removing the blacklist entry would be sufficient. Anyway, I'm printing again and know how to get Odin working if I need it.
Phone not recognised
Hi,
I tried using Virtualbox under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to emulate Windows Xp in order to use Odin (my device cannot be flashed with Heimdall). Thanks to h44z I can mount the device in Virtualbox, but I don't know which drivers I should install because Odin doesn't detect my phone. I tried Samsung USB drivers, then Windows detects Mobile USB Modem 1.0 and Samsung Mobile USB Modem. Then it says: "There was a problem installing this hardware (Samsung Mobile USB Modem)", and I Odin can't detect my phone. By the way, My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Y (GT-S5360).
So, my question is: Which drivers should I install in order to be able to use Odin via Virtualbox?

Hi again,
Well I found the solution ^^. I deleted the machine (in Virtualbox) with Windows XP and I installed a Window 7 Machine. Then, I used the dirvers from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
First I tried method one (as in the Windows XP machine) but it didn't work, so I used method 2 and it worked.
Hope this helps somebody at some time.

Just wanted to say thanks to brainvision for giving me the inspiration to try Virtual Box and Linux and to the other posters in this thread for their tips and advice on using Linux. Perhaps I finally will get my gt-i5500 to connect...

Tutorial for installing inside virtualbox or Qemu. Qemu would be better.
Allow installation direct from ISO onto Hypervisors - Qemu, Virtualbox, VMWare, Hyper-V, etc instead of needing to dump onto USB stick.
Support vga for second monitor
Screen recorder
Updating all of their devices to Android Marshmallow!!

Why do you need to dump to USB first? ISO runs fine in VBox.
support for tincore keymapper style overlay apps, or better yet build in a keymapper into remix.

I want to install it on VMWare workstation !
I know it probably wont happen but xposed for android desktop would be bloody awesome!
How about liveDVD?
Booting from liveDVD, just like Linux distros do it.
I beg you, add this feature.
My BIOS is not detecting any pendrives plugged into USB 3.0 ports, which are needed to boot this OS up.
(It's detected in USB 2.0, but it's too slow, only 4,5MB/s writing speed. The funny thing is that both ports - 2.0 and 3.0 - can be used by Win7 and Linux Mint that I have installed, no problem with that at all. It's just my BIOS that hates me.)
I just want to put a DVD Disc with RemixOS on it and try it out.
This would be a killer feature, since many ppl end up having problems with their pendrives/partitions/usb2.0/usb3.0/bios settings...
My Wishlist!
Most Importantly, the possibility of opening, and (just emphasis, no yelling here :angel: ) MAKING CHANGES TO files in the windows-formatted partitions (R/W mode) , HDMI Audio, Better driver support for both WiFi adapters as well as Graphics Cards (NVIDIA to be precise (like my 610M )), XPOSED, and a custom-recovery-like interface with apt functionalities.
An own web browser, maybe a Chromium fork (which is optimized for the desktop) that has the default setting to load desktop pages (there is no way to set this as default on Chrome), accepts right-clicks and shows a popup, etc.
But so far I haven't been able to even get RemixOS to boot on my Laptop (Nvidia GT-540M), although I have a Remix Mini (2GB) which I use regularly, so driver support is definitely #1 for me.
Is dual monitors supported yet? If not, than dual monitor support

Broadcom Wifi compatibility

hi,
for use with Hackintosh, I installed a Dell DW1510 (Broadcom BCM4322) Wifi PCI card in my ThinkPad X220. It only barely works with Android x86 / Remix OS.
Out of the box, it is detected, Mac Address is displayed and it can be enabled, but it searches for wifi networks forever.
Using Linux, I installed newer (closed-source) firmware files. Now it does find wifi networks, but only 5GHz / -ac ones. Beside that, it's extremely slow (only getting about 4Mbit download, normally around 50Mbit). I know the "open-source" b43 is slower than the propietary broadcom-wl one, but it wasn't THAT much on Linux.
Is it possible to use/install the propietary broadcom-wl driver, or getting at least 2.4GHz working and more speed (It was around 15Mbit on Linux with b43)?

Use this method for now, works better than the open-source-method: https://m.reddit.com/r/RemixOS/comments/40rjvg/how_to_get_broadcom_wifi_to_work/

It's normal, modprobe does not Output anything. Don't reboot, just type exit to continue booting. If RemixOS reboots then, something else is wrong.

ok....i type modprobe in terminal in remix os...not at boot at remix
i tested but my wifi dosn't work...i have searching wifi and nothing appared
i have Broadcom BCM4352
I'd like to point out the exact way how to do this workaround to avoid any missunderstandings:
1. add the DEBUG=1 flag to your grub parameters and press F10 (only (U)EFI Booting, for Legacy Booting just press Enter)
2. wait for the debug terminal to come up
3. type modprobe wl (if no message appeared you're good to go) and then type exit to continue booting
4. enjoy your perfectly working WiFi (hopefully)
Please note this is only a temporary solution that you would have to repeat at each boot-up. Searching for a permament solution I only came across the same Reddit thread that @TheXorg already linked: by renaming/deleting a folder in the kernel/driver section I managed to achieve the same working WiFi result without having to type anything at boot-up.
Here's how:
In debug mode.. Delete ssb folder from /lib/modules/4.0.9-android-x86+/kernel/drivers.. It helped me wid other x86 android and the new pheonix os.. Idk abt remix but its worth a try

I simply installed a root explorer (Solid Explorer in my case) and renamed the folder within RemixOs. After a normal reboot without DEBUG=1 flag WiFi worked absolutely fine.

Hi @Whitest, did you try this on the latest version? Because I'm facing some issues with the mac mini 3.1 (early 2009 and broadcom chip like yours) and without success... Nothing happens with the modprobe and cant delete the folder on debug (it gives an error deleting).

Did you boot with REMOUNT_RW=1 kernel boot flag?

[Windows 11] Run VPN apks ?

Hello folks !
I'm new to Windows 11 and have been blessed with the new feature that allows us to install apks natively (well, with adb SDK).
Though, I've been trying to install a VPN apk, it works but there's an error when the app asks for VPN permissions. It says there's an error, and well.. it doesn't work.
Anyone tried/has a workaround ?
Big thanks !
If you're talking of WSA:
WSA shares resources with host computer's resources, so also the network, means you've to install on Windows computer a VPN what then get used.

Oh damn..
I was really hoping that using a VPN apk would be possible with this WSA ..
Thanks for your answer though jwoegerbauer !
Win 11 has an issue with VPN's. I use Surfshark and when I installed Win 112, it created a new adapter that it tunneled all my internet traffic through so that if I disabled the VPN, it killed my internet. I had to delete that adapter which was NOT easy to run without the VPN on (Works sites wouldn't take to whitelisting for example).
I think there was a point in the process where my traffic was blocked with the VPN on. It's crazy
