Unfortunately Android is not a supported guest. If it works, it works. You're pretty much on your own in trying to search for a solution.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I've installed Android as a guest twice now for no reason other than user questions. It sorta works lol

On Mac hosts, once it's running you can't see the cursor which makes it more than a pain.

To the OP question, make sure you select Linux 2.8/3.x (32bit)

Your welcome although you started using VB 4.3.20 which is the current version. Unless you decided to try the test build.
