In order to boot Android from the hard disk, install the GRUB loader:.Format the partition with the ext3 file system:.Once you exit the cfdisk tool, the created partition will appear in the menu.Create one Linux partition for the entire disk and select “Save”:.A basic text-mode Linux environment will boot and the installation menu will appear.The ISO image you have specified will show a prompt asking whether you want to run Android or install it.

Now you can start the virtual machine.

Finally, remove the hard disk and add an IDE one instead of it:.

Then mount the ISO image you downloaded to the virtual CD drive:.

First, switch the network to the bridged mode so that the emulated device gets an IP address we can connect to:

Before completing the wizard click “Customize hardware”:.Note that VMWare will create a SCSI disk by default and we will have to replace it with an IDE one: Proceed with the default parameters for the disk.Specify the VM name and the folder where you want to keep it:.Select “Linux” as the operating system:.Select “I will install the operating system later”:.Open VMWare and begin creating a new typical VM:.Using VMWare has an advantage of much faster simulation speed, however it will only simulate the x86 Android system, hence if you want to debug an ARM-specific problem, you will still need an actual device or the slow ARM emulator.īefore you begin, install VisualGDB and download an x86 Android image from, a project providing Android images compatible with moder PCs. We will first setup a virtual machine, then install Android there and finally use Visual Studio to debug the San-Angeles sample on it. Most of the techniques described here will also work with other virtualization software like VirtualBox. This tutorial shows how to accelerate the Android App development using virtual devices by replacing the slow Android emulator with faster VMWare.
