Way to run Android OS within a Virtual machine
Hi,
Is there a way to run Android by a Virtual machine within one PC/Desktop? I've got that Virtualbox is not the option for this.

You can Run Android Kit Kat on VMware Workstation now.
VMware guys wrote a blog post on how to do this.
The ISO can be found at
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
Download the ISO and install it and you will have the Android OS up a and running in your VMware workstation/Player.
I doubt if virtual box supports it, but since the ISO/Live CD is available you can give it a try.

I have Android x86 on Virtual box and it does work, so you can run most apps in the ISO ok. Obviously you will not get any of the phone, gps, or touch features that work on a real Android phone.

Many thanks all.
Cmsxpjh,
Within Virtualbox, what OS type/version do you choose, when setting up Android X86?

Thanks all.
How about that I want to set up
android-x86-4.4-RC1
within Virtualbox? Which Linux version should I choose there?

It would be the same version.
Last time i remember 4.3 was working fine on Linux 2.6, so 4.4 should work too.

Sorry, I still get the same, after I've downloaded the same .iso file again from
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1

Android 4.0+ needs Intel VT-x or AMD-V to be enabled on your host OS. Have you enabled it in Bios?
Not related to issue. But since we are spending so much time with the issue its fair to increase the points for your question.

Hi Abhilash,
I want to know where I can enable
Intel VT or AMD-V
within the BIOS of my HP Probook 4530s?

But I am already using Virtualbox within the same machine. I think what you pointed out above, is not the real reason.

Any help?
