Genymotion Virtual Devices 3.0.0
- September 7, 2022

New Features
- QEMU Support: We have added support for the QEMU hypervisor. This allows better performances, improved boot time and device state can now be saved and resumed for even quicker availability (quick boot).
- Rounded corners: For Android 9 and higher virtual devices, it is now possible to configure rounded corners radius and padding.
- Mobile data: An emulated mobile data network interface is now available for Android 8 and higher virtual devices. Some network profiles and throttling can be applied to it.

- VM Heap size: The VM heap size can now be adjusted in the virtual device settings.
- When using Android 9 and later, rounded corners can now be set up at device creation and edition.
- New “media injection” widget, replacing the old “camera” widget. This enables you to feed images, videos and audio files as well as any detected camera to the virtual device microphone and cameras. Only available with a paying license.
- New “settings” widget, providing new features and information through several tabs:
- Some information about the current device and useful links are now available
- Shortcuts for every player actions are now customizable

Changes
- gmtool has been fully reworked to implement hardware profiles and OS images. We also took the opportunity to improve the syntax and usage is more consistent with other command-line tools. More help information is now available for each command in nested levels of details.
- Device rotation has been reworked. Instead of simply choosing between Portrait (0°) and Landscape (270°), the display can now be rotated in any direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) by increments of 90°.
- Toolbar has been cleaned-up and reworked.
- Some light touch ups have been made throughout the UI, both in the launchpad and the player.
- Error messages have been improved, providing clearer information and redirecting to more specific parts of the documentation.
- The “App Sharing” feature has been removed.

Known issues
- Genyshell doesn’t work with QEMU on macOS yet.
- Audio injection is not yet supported with QEMU on macOS.
- OpenGAPPS isn’t stable with QEMU on Windows yet.
- Some shortcut combinations are not possible on macOS for custom shortcuts.
- Wifi connection sometimes isn’t available when using a device with VirtualBox and Android 11. As a workaround, we recommend using QEMU if this issue appears.
- QEMU devices cannot be started when TCP port 6379 is in use (default port used by redis-server).
