How to install Android x86 in vmware virtual machine

Sometimes you just want to test an app but don’t want to do it on your phone. At this time, we can use a virtual machine to accomplish this task. First, go to the official website to download an Android system (https://www.android-x86.org/). I use: android-x86-9.0-rc1.iso for demonstration.

Or choose the local Android system download address: https://www.jb51.net/softs/203311.html

Provide a VMware15 download address: https://www.jb51.net/softs/638385.html

VMware15 for Linux download address: https://www.jb51.net/softs/638408.html

Open VMware Workstation and click Create a New Virtual Machine. There are no special requirements, generally 1 core 2G, according to your computer configuration, select the path of the iso file, boot, and select the third one as shown in the picture.

Select the first option and press Enter, as shown in the figure:

Select NO and press Enter.

Select NEW and press Enter.

Select Primary and press Enter.

Keep the default and press Enter.

After creating a new primary partition, you need to activate the partition before you can start it, that is, write the disk boot information, select "Bootable" and press Enter. The Flags of "sda1" is "Boot".

Select Write and press Enter.

Enter yes and press Enter.

Then select "Quit" and press Enter to exit the partition.

Select "sda1", which is the first partition of the first hard disk, then use the "Tab" key to select "OK" and press Enter.

In this step, the installation program asks us to select the file system type to be formatted. Select ETX4, select OK and press Enter to next step.

Select Yes and press Enter.

Select Yes and press Enter.

Select Yes and press Enter.

Next, the system will be installed automatically until the installation is completed, and we can choose to restart.

In fact, the system has been installed, but we found that we could not enter the system after restarting, and a black screen appeared, or the following prompt appeared:

So we need to make further settings, restart once, select the second option and press Enter to enter debug mode.

Press Enter and enter: mount -o remount,rw /mnt to reload /mnt to writable mode.

Modify /mnt/grub/menu.lst, add the nomodeset option, enter: vi /mnt/grub/menu.lst and press Enter.

Press i to enter the edit mode, and add nomodeset after the first startup item, quiet, as shown in the figure:

Press the esc key to cancel the edit mode, enter: wq and press Enter to save and exit, and restart the system.

After restarting, I successfully entered the system.

If the app crashes after installation, run the enable_houdini command in the terminal of the virtual machine.
