New features
- GPS Settings: The location defined in the GPS widget is now saved and retrieved at the next start. Only available with Indie and Business licenses.
Corrections
- When starting a virtual device, a pop-up window could report that it was in an incompatible state. It can now recover and start correctly.
- Starting and stopping applications in the virtual device could lead to memory leak and heavy memory usage. This issue has been fixed. We are still investigating on memory leaks.
- Genymotion could crash on Microsoft Windows when some third party security applications were installed. This issue has been fixed.

Genymotion 2.2.0 (March 31st, 2014)
March 31, 2014
Genymotion Desktop
New features
- Genymotion Java API: Developers can now access a Java API that lets them control Genymotion sensors within their application code. This will help you develop unit tests and improve your Android application. It will allow you to keep your source code clean, without complex mocking proxy objects. For more information, refer to the API tab of the Genymotion website. Only available with Indie and Business licenses.
- Virtual device update: We regularly add new features to Genymotion. These new features cannot work on virtual devices created with a previous version of Genymotion. This is why you see an annoying popup when you try to run them from a new Genymotion version. But rejoice! Today is the last day you will have to do it. In this release, we have introduced a wizard that automatically migrates old devices to new ones. So please, for the last time, delete your current virtual devices and create new ones using our new 2.2 Genymotion version. Next time, you will be able to automatically convert them.
- Log archive creation: For a faster response from our support team, you can now generate a log archive directly from Genymotion. This log archive contains all the information we need to better identify your problem.
Corrections
- On Microsoft Windows, stopping a virtual device was not immediate when closing the window, making impossible to start it again for a short period of time. This issue has been fixed.
- When using OpenGL ES 2.0, some applications encountered progressive slowdown issues. This problem has been fixed.
- When closing Android applications, some memory leaks could occur. This problem has been fixed.
- Some textures could be corrupted or swapped in rendering. This problem has been fixed.
- To avoid false license activation renewal on Microsoft Windows platforms, the license activation process has been modified.
- When asked to do so, restarting your virtual device from the Remote control widget could lead to usability issues after reboot. This problem has been fixed.
- When running multiple virtual devices, the drag and drop feature could encounter issues. This problem has been fixed.
- An ‘incompatible ABI’ installation error occured for some malformed Android applications that do not contain native libraries. This problem has been fixed.
Improvements
- To avoid Genymotion installation issues, adb daemon now stops when reinstalling Genymotion on Microsoft Windows.
- Genymotion now warns you when ADB or AAPT binary files are not executable.
- Error messages regarding connection issues between the Genymotion software and the Genymotion website have been improved.

- Pixel perfect mode: A new “pixel perfect” mode has been added to help users with their UI developments. In this mode, each pixel of the device is displayed using exactly one pixel of your monitor.
- Factory reset: It is now possible to reset a virtual device to its initial state (when first deployed): A new “Factory Reset” button is now available, next to the device settings button in the virtual devices list. This feature only works with virtual devices deployed with Genymotion v2.0.2 or earlier.

Migrating from v2.0.1

New features
- Genymotion automatically reconnects to ADB
Corrections

- Sound capture in screencast feature
- Sound emitted by the virtual device is now included in videos recorded with Genymotion screencast feature.
- Cache cleaner
- To speed up future deployments and optimize your bandwidth, Genymotion stores all downloaded virtual device files in a cache. As these files can represent a significant amount of disk space, you can easily remove them (as well as log files) from the Genymotion settings panel, in the miscellaneous tab.
- Confirmation email
- On Microsoft Windows platforms, Genymotion binaries are now digitally signed, avoiding some false positive alerts from antivirus software or confirmation warnings when launched.
Corrections
