Last verified against genymotion.com:

An ARM translation tool can be tried on Genymotion Desktop by dragging its .zip file onto the virtual device window and restarting the device.

It only applies to x86_64 Genymotion Desktop, and it is only intended to let some ARM 32-bit applications run on the computer.

Steps:

1. Open the Genymotion Desktop virtual device.

2. Drag the ARM translation tools .zip file into the device display area.

3. After installation completes, restart the device, or close it and start it again.

4. Check the result with a third-party app such as Device Info.

  • If successful, Supported ABIs should show x86, armeabi-v7a, armeabi.

Notes:

  • These tools modify the Android image and may permanently damage the device, so use them at your own risk.
  • They must be flashed before installing Open GApps.
  • They do not work with all Android versions.
  • If ARM64 applications are run on Mac M series, this tool is usually not needed because that is a native ARM64 image.
