Testing Android apps on a VM
Posted: 14. Dec 2016, 19:00
I have a disability, and after submitting an article to a magazine for disabled people, I have been asked to write a monthly article on the latest communication apps for people with disabilities.
I have a Windows Phone, and the Store doesn't have many apps at all for the disabled. I got it in September (long before I was asked to write the article). So, to test out the apps, I downloaded Android in a virtual machine. Whilst this is okay, it is often slow, and a bit troublesome.
The VM is set up with 2GB RAM and the host is a laptop AMD Dual-Core L310 with 4GB RAM.
It does the same on my desktop but this time the host is an AMD A4 Quad-Core.
Any suggestions on how to speed it up? Nothing happens when I try and install Guest Additions on the Android VM.
