Android emulator problems

Posted by zemondza@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 14 comments

Hello everyone, I'm a developer with a degree in LLM and a tech enthusiast. I'm a bit worried. I've been using Linux for about 6 years now and sometimes I need an Android emulator for my development and for games, but there are already emulators for Windows. And I was wondering if it was possible to somehow modify Wine so that it could access the hardware virtualization of my processor. I would be grateful to anyone who can give me some advice. I would be happy ;)

you can't run Android Studio or Waydroid for your needs?

I think I can take the code from Wine and if necessary rewrite half the kernel

What???

waydroid works pretty well for most stuff but can be bit tricky to setup depending on your distro. android studio emulator should handle the hardware virtualization just fine on linux without needing wine at all

what specific games or dev work are you trying to do that the native options arent covering?

... with a degree in LLM ...

Doubt. What specifically is your degree and where was it from?

Technically an LLM is a degree in Law (a post-graduate legal degree after JD).

Not possible to get hardware virtualization through wine (as far as I know).

I think you would be more likely to get a solution if you describe what you are trying to do.

Waydroid is even better than an android emulator

Yes, I know, but unfortunately I need ARM applications on my PC.

You can run ARM android apps on waydroid even if the system image is x86_64, use libhoudini

Hmm, quite interesting, I hadn't heard of that, thanks.

So combine it with qemu?

I also thought about this option but there is a lot of low-level code there

Yeah but you don't really need to code up something yourself because both "run ARM stuff on x86" and "run Android apps on desktop Linux" are things other have implemented themselves, you just need to install the programs
