A fun thing is that it is possible with the Qubes architecture, since VMs can be saved to a file and resumed at will (although qubes-rpc may not support it properly). Xen also has some other useful features like live transfer.
Note: I have not actually tested any of this due to lack of time, but is seems quite possible, although some software modifications may be needed.

- mwcampbell 10y agoIt had also occurred to me that virtualization might be the best way to get Android running on an ARM-based EOMA68 computer, especially in a desktop or laptop housing. The Shashlik project (http://www.shashlik.io/ http://www.shashlik.io/) might be useful as a starting point for getting there. My one concern is that, in my experience with virtualization on a Windows PC, audio in a VM always has noticeable latency. But maybe it'll be better with Linux as the host OS, especially if the Android guest OS can be modified to cooperate more closely with the virtualization layer. Some equivalent of VirtIO for audio.
