Genymotion 2.0.2 (December 16, 2013)

Genymotion Desktop Migrating from v2.0.1 Genymotion comes now bundled with a version of ADB. You can still provide a path to an Android SDK if you want, and Genymotion will use Android tools from this SDK. If you previously set a path to a specific Android SDK version, Genymotion will continue to use it.

New features

• Genymotion automatically reconnects to ADB
• Many users reported that their IDE doesn’t detect anymore their Genymotion virtual devices after a period of time. Genymotion virtual devices are now automatically reconnected to ADB, avoiding problems when IDEs restart ADB daemon.
• 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

• Genymotion can now detect and work around the fact that VirtualBox installation path has changed.
• In the GPS widget, the map field is now using the proxy configuration.
• The GPS widget works even if the network was unreachable at Genymotion launch.
• When deploying a new virtual device, the window listing its characteristics doesn’t show cropped text anymore on some platforms with a particular screen size.
• When using it without license, Genymotion window title do not blink anymore, making UI automation easier.
• Genymotion now reports network configuration in its log file, making easier to detect installation problems when contacting Genymotion support.

• Avoid CPU overheat while using remote control.
• Windows uninstaller only cleans required files.
• Users who were having white or black screen at start (with error message: “Unable to switch to context, eglGetError=3004”) will now start correctly without having to fullscreen, then un-fullscreen their Genymotion virtual devices.

Genymotion 2.0.0 (November 13, 2013)

Genymotion Desktop Genymotion 2.0.0 is no more a beta version but the first Genymotion commercial release!

Migrating from v1.3.0

• To use the new features, you must deploy new virtual devices after upgrading to Genymotion v2.0.0. All previous virtual devices deployed with Genymotion v1.3.0 will continue to work but without the new features
• Warning: all Genymotion settings (ADB path, network proxy configuration, …) will be lost after upgrading to Genymotion v2.0.0. It’s not possible to recover settings from previous versions
• Information
• As announced earlier, Genymotion doesn’t include Google Apps and ARM libraries support anymore.Concerning

ARM libraries support

, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you developers,as there will be absolutely no impact if you use the Java SDK. As for the NDK, it is straightforward toenable x86 compilation for your native code. You need to add the x86 platform to the APP_ABI entry of theApplication.mk file.

for example:

APP_ABI := armeabi armeabi-v7a x86 mips

There are now a lot of good x86 devices in the wild, and this is a good opportunity to embrace this newplatform, and add x86 compatibility to your app if you haven’t done it yet.For

Google apps

, we are still trying to work with Google to add them back. If you decide to add theeeded package by yourself, it will be at your own risk and responsibility and we will not be liable for it.This release includes a “drag&drop” feature which will allow you to drag&drop an APK or a ZIP file to the Genymotion window:

APK files will be installed and, if possible, automatically started

ZIP files, if they are detected as system updates or system patches, will be automatically deployed in your Genymotion virtual device.

Licensing system

A licensing system is available in Genymotion version 2.0.0.

Genymotion can be used in Free mode (without commercial features) for your personal use or with a license (Indie or Business) enabling all features for a professional use.
