How can I try an ARM translation tool on my desktop, step by step, at Genymotion?

Topic: GPU & ARM Support

Last verified against genymotion.com:

ARM translation tools can be installed on Genymotion Desktop x86 / x86_64 devices by dragging the .zip file onto the device screen and then restarting the device.

It modifies the Android image, may damage the virtual device, and must be flashed before installing Open GApps.

Specific steps: 1. Start the virtual device. 2. Drag the ARM translation tools .zip file onto the device display area. 3. Wait for the flashing to complete. 4. Restart the device, or shut it down and start it again. 5. Use Device Info to check Supported ABIs; when successful, it should show x86, armeabi-v7a, armeabi.

Additional notes:

  • This tool is not supported by all Android versions.
  • It cannot turn an x86 device into a real arm64 device; it only allows some ARM apps to run.
  • On Apple Mac M series, an arm64 Android image can be used directly, so this tool is not necessarily needed.
