Part 2 begins.......
The
solution I came up with is very simple and straight forward your requirements
are thus:
- Virtual
box: this is where the downloaded
Android devices OS will be mounted.(can also run the mounted Android virtual
device alone but as said in Part 1= “vvvvvvvery slowwwwwww”
- And
GenyMotion software: this is the main
software that interprets your virtual android device (faster) and bug free (to a
certain degree)
- SDK
manager: it presence is needed to be felt by the other two softwares above.
1. Download Sdk manager full package
2. Download Virtualbox latest at
present 4.3.2… is the latest around approx (105 MB) after downloading, install this
software. (*restart
your system after you have installed the virtual box*) this is to
avoid stories a touch lolzzzzzzzzzz
3. Now after your system come up
goto www.genymotion.com and register
there then you would have access to download the virtual device file. I could have just share the file here but you still have to register with them. and your credentials will be needed to download AVD (android virtual device). Just goto Genymotion website,sign up, sign in and download
the file that does not need virtual box around (19MB) for your OS type either
windows, linux, ubuntu etc… since you already install Virtualbox.
4. Install Genymotion and you are
half way to using BBM on PC.
5. After installing Genymotion check
launch box after installing. By doing this Genymotion will start by itself and if it
does not initiate it by clicking thee icon on your desktop.
6. After it launches, click on “Add
devices”
7. A pop-up box will prompt you to
fill your credentials (username and password) then you login and you select the
device you want. When I did mine, I picked
(Galaxy Nexus-4.1.1-with Google Apps-API – 16 -720 x1280) and I waited
for it to download it was around (205
MB).
9. NOW, highlight your Virtual Galaxy
Nexus-4.1.1-with Google Apps-API – 16 -720 x1280 and click Play. You should
get the below screen shot. (genymotion 6)
10. If you are lucky to get to the
above screen, Congratulations……. Stay connected for Part 3 of this post.
