Awesome tech! It's not possible to run an android VM on QEMU right? As in, is it officially supported? (I know about Waydroid)

- homebrewer 1y agoThe official Android "emulator" supplied by Google is qemu. If you're not satisfied with it for some reason, IIRC I used these images some years ago on top of vanilla qemu: https://www.fosshub.com/Android-x86.html https://www.fosshub.com/Android-x86.html They don't seem to be well supported anymore, and there aren't many prebuilt alternatives. One can always compile AOSP from source, though Google does not make this easy.
- acuozzo 1y ago> The official Android "emulator" supplied by Google is qemu Nitpick: It's a fork of QEMU. There are quite a few Google-exclusive changes bundled-in.
- epilys 1y agoYes, it's possible and supported. QEMU can emulate an aarch64 system, and Google provides aarch64 Android builds for virtual machines specifically, called "Cuttlefish". Search for keywords "Android Cuttlefish QEMU" for instructions.
