Themes / Apps / Mods [ROOT] Virtual Machine with KVM acceleration for Tensor Chips - Google Pixel 6

Hi all,
On Android 13, Google enabled KVM support for Tensor Chips model(Pixel 6 / 6pro / 6a). So we can run a Virtual machine at full speed, but there is no APP to utilize this feature.
I modified the Limbo Emulator (QEMU), so it can enable the KVM on Pixel 6 Phones. Due to the limitation of the kernel, the APP needs ROOT permission to access the KVM service(/dev/kvm)
Currently, only VNC is working on this APP, and you can only boot directly using the Linux kernel. UEFI did not work on KVM.
Network functions worked, but you may need to set the DNS inside the Guest OS.
Arch Linux for arm64 runs pretty well on Limbo. It runs even faster than Raspi 4. You can download it from ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz
Other Linux can also run on the Limbo, but you may need to recompile the kernel to enable virto-related functions.

You can install an apk package as a test package via adb (command adb install -t limbo~.apk). You can also use LADB to install (tested)
Simple installation of the apk is not possible due to the included test build in the application manifest

Awesome! This will come in handy.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to use the simulate secondary display dev option with a display link device or Chromecast?
A while back I discovered that the second screen will actually automatically tie to the (separate from main phone gui) mouse/ keyboard connected. The start menu of that virtual display opens apps in desktop resizeable mode.
It's just not practical to run a desktop as an overlay. If someone can figure out how to feed it to an external display we'd have a solid makeshift DeX with much more flexibility and potential.

Anyone managed to get a working internet connection on the guest?

Can you please tell us how to run windows arm using your latest update there are many trying to attempt this even by installing native qemu and all trying to create a different version of your app with more commands and also how to run other operating systems besides your provided one
