like running WSA-with-magisk-GApps-pico_2204.40000.20.0_x64_Release-Nightly on my PC. Android 12.1 on WSA on Win11. I included images of games & stuff - Windows 11

LineageOS 19.1 for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi) is running only on my tablet, sorry for the confusion , the below software is also based on Android 12.1. I edited my heading since I wrote I like the Samsung rom about my tablet , which is not related to what I found below, I don't know what if any kernel it using, the message I got back maybe confusion the XDA staff that moved it to the windows subform which I didn't know at the time existed here. Again the above info about my tablet and the below topic is more about how I found Android 12 now can be run on windows 11.​​​Magisk on WSA (with Google Apps) on windows 11, I been able to play with and make an X64 for my computer, not sure I don't think we can use the arm64 port under windows 11, but in any case the X64 for the most part is able besides running offically kindle appstore and kindle app under windows 11 now, and offically microsoft has release it as that, this below is unoffical since its not supported, also it can run google playstore and play books but its not completely stable for me, it can run it fine then the next minute its crashing its windows on my gigabyte desktop, I haven't tried them on my laptop yet, it maybe more stable on my nvidia laptop or my intel based laptop, not sure since they do crash on my desktop at times they run fine, but again its really new, microsoft just put Kindle playstore, with Windows Subsystem for android in microsoft store, the kindle playstore from microsoft store also crashes just like the unoffical version, I don't think its out of beta software state, yet, but wanted to share it here, if in any case , anyway one who releases stuff like LineageOS for my tablet , wants to take a look at this project below, I just forked it at my github, the offical links to there project are below too, I am just sharing it here, in hopes that the more people know about it the better the project will get, also its better than running an android emulator on windows 11, or at least it would be if it didn't crash on my gigabyte desktop, with my nvidia rtx 2080 3D card. under windows subsystem you can select which 3D card it runs on, I haven't tried playing much games on the project below but I beat while its running stable the 3D games will play better, I have also tried blue stacks on windows before, but I do prefer the projects idea below more. under my builds below I included the keep Kindle Appstore, but if anyone wants that can be removed too, same for Magisk you can build it without that too in it if you want. on the github website. since microsoft removed the ebooks feature, I think the idea of using either play books under windows 11 or other ebook android based e readers is a great idea, but at times I do miss the build of edge that was able to open epub files. you can also set the windows subsystem for android when using the play books app on windows 11 to use the text to speech from android you can play aloud the ebooks with androids voices like in english US or english UK if you prefer, that's another nice thing that works with the below project.​Website for its project below,
LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA

github.com
maximalEbooks/MagiskOnWSA

github.com
so when I log out of my github.com account, then the files are not downloadable, I don't know if it was that way before or if something at that site changed, in any case, you can fork the project on your own github account and create the files if you don't have access to them. I was able to download the x64 build and use it just fine, but there maybe sharing rules at github that I am not aware if since I am a new user using it.

Below is a message I got when posting here, just reply back to that's questions here too if anyone else was wondering.
I have a few questions for you.
First, is this Windows software, such as for a virtual machine?
Second, where is your kernel source?
Your timely response is appreciated.
XDA Staff
They ask me these questions , I as A college student try to answer it as best I found, windows based software, it's like a virtuàl machine , I think it's sort of more native app but I am not sure runs on windows 11 and works to bring Android 12.1 to windows 11 in Microsoft store you can only run Kindle app and Kindle app store but as above project is for allows more real Android software to work, that's the point of it, since it runs on top of windows , I don't know if there's any kernel source . I don't think it has a kernel but I could be wrong, anyway I wanted to post a direct reply here to if any other home users had questions, I hope I explain it better, I am running it for ebook reads Android based for my own personal desktop and for the Android games that can be played on windows, but I also use custom stuff from here on my Samsung Galaxy tab but I just wanted to share what I found with others if they didn't know about that project which I think is really cool that someone created that for windows 11. From my understanding of the windows subsystem for Android is I read somewhere online that it using an Android 12.1 version , the above project says something to that from what I remember seeing somewhere about it.

some shared screen captures of stuff you can do on windows 11 with android. one shows two games I install, and a few ebook readers, was able to install marvels android app, not the login has a bug, otherwise you can get other comic views on android in play store, that will work just as well, I don't know if the marvel app works correctly on a real android tablet or not, not sure which app I was using for viewing them before, but on windows I was unable to get that to log in. maybe has to do with the software still beta to run android since it has sometimes crash on my desktop, otherwise all these apps seem to work more or less. comic & manga by Comixology is the working app, that other one listed as marvel doesn't log in but the one in the first image here does. and the comics download and are viewer it seems. so you can either view them on your tablet or your pc

Introduction and Warning:
Asteroid OS is a Free Open Source alternative operating system for smartwatches. It utilizes libhybris to ensure maximum compatibility with the watch. The OS team is currently looking for active contributors to make it grow (more info at the project's webpage: http://asteroidos.org/). The OS is NOT based on Android wear and is currently in an Alpha Phase, has limited functions, applications and customizability so flash at your own risk. The current build is mostly meant for developers rather than end-users, so these images in no way reflect the finished Asteroid OS. I take no responsibility for what happens by the use of this software. By using the method bellow you don't flash Asteroid but rather run it side by side with Android wear. Essentially you place the OS file inside the watch and fastboot into it. This way Android Wear stays installed and you can test Asteroid. Asteroid at its current phase is not meant as a daily OS as it has bugs and issues, one of them being that the bluetooth doesn't work (so you can't pair it with your phone). I simply made a build of the OS, credit goes to the creator and the contributors, I can only provide you with builds, installation instructions and answers on a few questions, nothing more.

Downloads:
Official prebuilt Asteroid OS image: http://asteroidos.org/install/
Outdated Personal Build of mine (lacks newer build features):
Asteroid Image
Boot Image
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have an ADB installation (Minimal adb and fastboot should do) and your watches' bootloader is unlocked and debugging is enabled from the settings.
2. Download the two files in the download section and place them in the same folder and connect the watch to the computer
3. Open up the command prompt (cmd) and navigate to that folder
4. Issue these commands:
adb push asteroid-image-dory.ext2 /sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot zImage-dtb-dory.fastboot
5. The watch will reboot into Asteroid OS. Every time you want to boot into asteroid you have to issue the last two commands or else you will boot into android wear normally.
Removal Instructions:
Just open up cmd, connect the watch to the computer and issue this command: adb shell rm "/sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2"

Mhh will definitely try it out
screenshots/photo ?
Any screenshots or demo videos? Can't find any on Google or the official project site.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Screenshots, video etc can be found in the Twitter account ( @ asteroidos).
Images?
According to twitter, don't bother trying these images as it takes over three minutes to boot and there are no apps.
I uploaded a video showing Asteroid booting up for anyone interested.
Why would I destroy my perfectly fine watch with absolutely pointless OS, which does nothing, doesn't allow me to get notifications and has no apps?
Why such negativity over something that is pre-alpha? The OP even said, this is more for developers than for end users.
Once a few iterations are out, say when the BT stack is up, and some apps available I'd be keen on checking it out and dual-booting into it. For now, I'll be keeping a watch on it.
Keep fighting the hard fight @CedArctic!
This is definitely great to see. A fully capable linux OS on the watch. Btw OP, does it use Wayland or Mir for the display server since it's built on QT (going off what I know of Ubuntu Touch which uses QT/Mir)?
I downloaded the image but haven't messed with it just yet, the rootfs is on my watch waiting for me to boot it with fastboot. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Any idea on how it will communicate with the mobile device through Bluetooth yet, or is that still in the planning stages as you work on the UI?

Thanks but it's more of kido's fight. He is the original developer of Asteroid OS. I will continue to provide up to date builds until a stable release is out. It is great to see the community interested in such a project

I believe it uses the Mir server. As far as I know the watch will connect via bluetooth. Though I am not the developer of this operating system, that's kido. So don't really know much . For now I just make builds of it.

This isn't a version of Android. It is a Linux based operating system that can run on the G Watch as a (in the future) replacement OS for android. So no, playstore does not work.

Couldn't have said it better but if we gain apps with functionality then it's going to be something

[Windows 11] Installing WSA with Google Play support

Users of an Android based phone know that basically Google Play is their 'default' app store, and Amazon Appstore - what WSA by default comes pre-installed with - is just a 3rd party store. Both stores offer a wide variety of apps that can be downloaded on the device and cater to many of the user requirements. The main difference between both app stores is the fact that at time of this writing Google Play Store offers 3.8 million apps, whereas Amazon Appstore offers only less than a half million apps.
So if you additionally want to have access to Google Play Store from within WSA then you should install a copy of WSA that comes with Google Play supported. That's the reason why I have created this thread.
Legal Warning:
Adding Google Services and Google Play Store to WSA may potentially be in a legal gray area.
Requirement:
Virtualization must be enabled on your Windows 11 PC.
Take note that before you enable Hyper-V in Windows 11, you need to make sure the Hardware Visualization/ Virtual Technology is enabled in UEFI/BIOS - usually it's called Intel VT-X or AMD-V depending upon the brand of CPU in your system. This is because the option to Enable Hyper-V or its submenus will be greyed out once the Hardware Visualization is disabled.
So, let’s see how to enable virtualization on Windows 11 PC:
First, go to Start Menu.
Now search for Turn Windows features on or off & then hit Enter.
After that, enable the Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform option & then click OK.
At last, click on Restart now.

}
How-To Install:
To avoid copy / paste operations please look inside here.
Result:
If WSA got properly set up, then you run Google Play from Windows Start.
When I get to this step, .\adb.exe connect ADDRESS , POWERSHELL fails. adb.exe is not recognized....
If you would carefully read the guide linked to, then you'll not run into any problems.
BTW: As a workaround you could add location ( fullpath name !!! ) of adb.exe to PATH variable of Windows OS.
I know this might be stupid to ask, but is it safe to update subsystem from the windows store? After you've done this much needed hack.... what were they thinking? Amazon? .... Is it safe or do I just live w/ not ever updating it.
i did the following steps, and im oddly able to connect using adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526 but not when i copy and paste the ip, .. idk what im doing wrong. even after i "connect" whenever i use adb shell it says error: device not found
i get error deployment of add -appxpackage. needs microsoft.ui.xaml.2.6.2.nupkg,,,,no idea how to install this
I tried to install this but I think there is some problem with the process.
I was able to install and open Google Play, but nothing happens when I click "Sign in"
I tried opening Gmail and signing in that way too with the same result.
Followed the steps....worked like a charm. Google play store and all apps that require google services are working
Collected all variants of WSA + PlayMarket and magisk.
Installation: unzip the archive and run install.ps
I still hope one day someone smarter than me will explain why simply side-loading Google Play doesn't work on a stock WSA install. In other words, why we can't follow steps similar to Amazon Fire tablet users to side-load Google Play. Well, I should say it technically does work as I initially went that route, but one is unable to sign-in to Google Play.
I followed a different guide than the one listed here, but they are all basically the same result - a custom repackaged WSA that can no longer update via the store... manual updates required (which may or may not be a bad thing).

I've been on Genymotion since 6 years ago and completely disagree. It is a terrible service that CHARGES you to have to do everything you can do for free if you build your own emulator or even use nox or bluestacks and ROOT them and debug THEIR LAUNCHER to CLEAN Them.
I created scripts when GENYMOTION first came out to help get the play store installed and remove bad apps, etc.
They are Greedy as are Most these Emulator Makers

Perhaps they changed it, it was originally free, then they started incorporating stupid pay walls, like charging you to change the IMEI, and eventually getting rid of their "free" personal use option after folks like me showed how to do this for free.
I guess the free option is back but the company as a whole left a sour taste in my mouth, when you can make anything they can with knowledge on gapps and android firmware, or different operating systems to use our apps entirely, like Lineage and Ubuntu-Touch
So what took me several days to figure out on windows, took me an hour to figure out on linux... And behold, Anbox is installed, in a virtual machine running Lubuntu... tee hee! Lemme do some testings... things.. yeah

For future reference if you haven't already figured it out yet, your processor and your hypervisor both need to support Nested VT-x (Nested Virtualization) for WSA to execute in a VM. This is because both Windows Subsystem for Linux and Windows Subsystem for Android use the Hyper-V hypervisor to accomplish booting their respective Linux kernels and userspace up. They no longer use the syscall translation driver, which would've worked under a VM.
Btw, what did you find the most troublesome about the installation of WSA? I found it was remarkably straightforward to install even from APPX (or in my case since I'm using a modified WSA with Google Services, an unpacked APPX).

Oooohhhh Thank You~! I will research this further within the VM.
Honestly I didn't find anything difficult, other than finding out from start to finish how to do everything I wanted to do. So it's just amazing to have the Internet, Forums, Nerds that Make Websites, stuff like that to help make, idk, a guide or instructions? to make things easier.
Also really grateful for the software engineers that continue to implement such innovations, even though I jest by calling it "suboptimal" I'm sorry but ""WSA""~~~ wINDoehz.. ya set yourselves up for that one ;-)

Question Help sideload apps Polestar 2

Guys i really need to sideload Waze and other apps if possible from Android Auto to Android Automotive. At least if not side load maybe phone mirroring. We have a browser that would work for many things called Vivaldi but i won't work while driving is there a way around this?
Hey man so far I have not been able to activate developer settings which would allow us to sideload. If someone can figure that out, would be awesome. I have the same car.
Same here...not being able to sideload app is so totally not andriod. -_-
Hi, I only managed to compile open source projects for Android Auto and install them in my Polestar 2 car, via the Google Play Store Beta Testing.
But the most desired apps like Waze or Netflix are not open source, so no chance to port them for the Polestar 2 car.
Here a short list of Apps, I successfully ported for my polestar 2 car:
- Firefox
- Local Public TV Channel Streaming App (any country/ language)
- VOIP App (Linphone)
- Amaze File Manager
- Wireguard VPN
- K9 Mail client
- ZAPP (German TV Media library app)
- Google Home Assistant
- Game 1: 2048: By moving blocks, same numbers will be added up https://github.com/andstatus/game2048
- Game 2: Nice solitaire collection https://github.com/TobiasBielefeld/Simple-Solitaire
- Game 3: Tetris (simple but FUN)
https://github.com/vitaviva/compose-tetris
- Game 4: Mini Golf
https://github.com/mgerdes/Open-Golf
- Game 5: Pinball
https://github.com/dozingcat/Vector-Pinball
If you find a nice app for android on f-droid.org or github.com, I can take a look if this can run on the polestar as well

That sounds great. Can you explain how you've got the apps on the polestar? I would really love to have the plexamp app, but I absolutely have no experience in compiling anything.
Dary I sent you a dm but can you please give us more of an explanation how you where able to sideload apps using the playstore beta testing? I'm trying to figure this out and can't seem to.
It's not very difficult:
Get Android Studio
Install the Polestar SDK (see "Try it out" Button here: https://www.polestar.com/us/developer/get-started/emulator/
Get any android source-code from github (download as zip)
Open in Android Studio and change the applicationId in the buid.gradle file to something which is not used (e.g. com.myname.projectname)
Build a signed bundle (aab file)
Upload to your google play developer console and create a new app with new release (drag and drop aab file)
Enable internal testing and invite testers by google play account e-mail address

Hi Dary,
can you give us more information on how you can install apps after configured for internal test on Google Play Console? I'm trying to install HomeAssistant companion app.
Thanks in advance

If you've installed Firefox is there any chance you can download from apk mirror other apks to install directly or is download blocked at the device level?

Nope, Developer Mode is blocked in AAOS (when you tap several times on the build no., a pop-up appears), with this also no USB-Debugging. Installing not-trusted apks is also disabled/ the menu to allow this for certain apps is disabled. About the Firefox, I build it from the open-source.
Happy Sunday,

Hi, just add your google play account e-mail address as internal tester, then copy the invitation link and open it in a new tab. Approve the internal testing and click afterwards on the google play link. Then select polestar as device when installing it.
I completely forgot that you can install apps also from the play store website instead using the one on the device!! GREEAATT! It works like a charm! Now I can control my home from my volvo to switch lights or open my gate. Thank you Dary!
Hi Dory,
Would it be possible for you to add my google email, username hallevison, to the list of internal testers?

It might be interesting to see if KDE connect will work. It is open source and it would be useful to see the phone notifications on the car.

from that quote I am guessing you done home assistant, can you add me to tester list
From its core its Android, Their may be a way to sideload apks.
Has anybody found a video player that will play video from USB for Polestar 2?

How did you get Google Home Assistant on there?

=Learn How to Install Android Apps on Windows 11 for free =

Updated: 16/04/2022
Tutorial​
Hi!
There are a a lot of tutorials about installing Andoid Apps stores, etc, etc.
I gonna let you here a way that i found to install Android Apps even if you are not logon in to App Store!
To be able to do this, your computer must meet the following requirements:
Windows 11
At least 8 GB of RAM ( less and you will get some lags)
At least a DUO CORE 3.20GHz CPU
Enabled Virtualization feature
Change Country & Region: U.S. ( You can return to your location after)
You will need Android SubSystem installed on WIndows 11 and for that you need Amazon App Store, even if it will be impossibel to use, you need to activate some Windows Optional Features and finally activate virtualization on your Bios ( serach Google how to do it for your motherboard!)
Lets get Start!!!
To Enable Windows Optional Features, go to Start menu, in search box type OptionalFeatures.exe then open it, select Virtual Machine Platform and OK.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
!Restart your PC!
After Restart, lets get Amazon App Store for that you need to change Windows System language, go to Start, search box and type location and select "Change country or region", in that window that oppened select "country or region" tab and change it to United States!
After that go to this link to get Amazon App Store!
Install it and close it ( don´t need it any more). ( You can return location to your location now)
Now go to Start, type in serach box Android and you will see Android Subsystem app, open it, enable developer mode. You will get a IP and door in developer mode tab like this 127.0.0.1:48406.
Now download this SWA_Setup.zip that i create to get easier to install APK by Pick and drop over batch to install, just pick Apk and drop over DropToInstallApk.bat.
Open zip and extract my tool to Desktop.
( NOTE: Not all Android app will work some of theme need google system or phone Android system!!!!)
Open SWA_Setup folder, open the batch files (.bat) like text file and change the IP and door to your IP and door that you get form developer mode option. ( check image above to see where IP and door is) Save batch. ( Check Image bellow to see where you must change in both batch files)
In Android SubSystem window you need open files first to start Android system ( image bellow) before execute Setup batch (SettingUp.bat) or install any apk through pick and drop. When you already had any app installed only need to start app to start Windows Android System.
Ok! Lets Setup and add apk!!!
I create SettingUp.bat that will Install a Manager app and Aurora App Store ( Google Play Store Clone).
You can download and install trough Aurora App Store but if you want to try another way go to Apkmirror site, search your apk, download, change name to short name ( Apkmirror give a hudge name to Apks and some times get error when installing...), paste inside SWA_Setup folder, pick the apk and drop overDropToInstallApk.bat! Done!
Your apk is on Start menu! Example i add Heroes Evolved from Apkmirror!
To unistall just do right click over apk/app and unistall it or use Manager app!
Note: Game need gamepad to play and mouse
After all Setup is very easy to work with Windows Android Sytem or any installed Apk because its part of system like any other aplication from Windows.
Enjoy it!
Hi!
Just one note, don't install your wife android games on pc... Bad choice... you loose the rights to him
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
Because BlueStacks consumes more resources then windows Android System!
I used BlueStacks, i know it.
Hi!
Happy Easter to All!
I Update main post!
Is it possible to get apps that control things on your local network to work? Like the roku or Sonos app? These apps think they are offline. So it can’t see my devices. It says to check WiFi.

By default they are built for smartphones, i don't know if they detect wifi or cable connection from PC.
Thanks. Wonder if there is a work around For this. WSA does think it’s a pixel 5. I guess we would need to get a local IP first. So it can see your local network. It seems like these apps need WiFi. Or to make them think WiFi is active.

Yes, must be build some bridges between Android apps and Windows, especially in detecting and reading hardware configuration from pc. Don't forgot that is a Android emulator.
I don't have the knowledge for that but maybe picking some features and tools from already known vm machines and complete the Windows vm machine for will help. Its basic.
This is all new for now, probably in future some will find a way to root, etc, etc.
Hi!
Checking Windows Android System i noticed that build for Windows 10... Does any one had try this tutorial on Windows 10?
Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a question, which is not totally related to this tutorial, but maybe you can help me.
I installed the Amazon AppStore on windows 11 from the Microsoft store, but I can't access it. The Amazon AppStore app starts, I enter my Amazon credentials and then there is a "continue" button but if I press the continue button, nothing happens. It remains blocked, although I am logged in with my Amazon account.
I'm going to use Aurora Store next, but I wish I could access the Amazon AppStore too, at least to try it out.
Any idea what could be stuck?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.
The problem is solved.
I first used the aurora store and then strangely the amazon appstore started working, I don't know why.
Is it possible to add Google Services afterwards?

There is no safe way yet.
I'm new to Android apps on Windows 11. I've installed the Textra SMS app successfully and it starts. However, it wants me to specify the app as the default SMS app for Android. I've set the Windows default app for SMS to Textra, but that doesn't help.
How do I get to Android settings as they would appear on an Android phone where default apps can be set?
Thanks.
windows 11 letting me change region but will not let me install amazon?
Changed region and keyboard etc just in case! but Amazon not available in my region?
