Question

Does the paid version of Genymotion support root access and writing custom certificates into the system directory?

Topic: Network Tunneling & Proxy

Accepted Answer

Genymotion's paid version supports dynamic Root access and allows custom certificates to be written to the system directory via Root permissions. Here's how it works:

1. Root Support

For Android 12 and above, Root access must be manually enabled at deployment or runtime (requires a paid license) 1.
Dynamic Root functionality is available by default on Android 14, with future support for earlier versions.

2. Writing certificates to the system directory

System directory operations must be performed using ADB command-line:

     adb root
     adb shell
     su
     # Push the certificate file to the system directory
     cp /sdcard/cert.pem /system/etc/security/cacerts/

Paid versions support full ADB permission control, allowing certificate injection management (requires manual configuration) 2.

3. Restrictions

Android 16 requires a paid version to enable Root functionality.
Writing to the system directory requires using adb root to elevate permissions after Rooting, and may require adjusting the path due to different virtual device configurations.

Do you need further clarification on the steps to configure certificate injection?
