How to root virtual device on genymotion

[Arvind Jaiswal]

Hi all !!!

          I've installed the virtual device named "Galaxy Nexus 4.3 API 18 720x1280" and I want to root this because when I tried to run ProxyDroid in Local Area Network, it told me to root it. 

Kindly give me a detailed solutions and links so that I can root it successfully. 

                                                                                                                                                           Thank You

All Genymotion VMs are pre-rooted and include Superuser by ClockworkMod. If your app is reporting missing root, then it is a problem with said app. Also note that by default Genymotion VMs are set to NAT networking mode, meaning they are basically on a virtual router made by your PC and won't be seen by other devices on your Local Network. If you wish for your device to appear on your Local Network then you must change this setting:
"Open Virtualbox-->Open Settings for the Genymotion VM-->Network-->Adapter 2-->Attatched to: Bridged Adapter-->Name:[Name of Ethernet or WiFi card]-->OK"

Yeah I got that already but now the problem is I'm proxydriod isn't running on my VM. Any suggestion or any other app for proxy which can run all the apps like whatsapp and Wechat on VB.

Well, one thing you can try is Virtualbox's built-in proxy tool. VirtualBox-->File-->Preferences-->Proxy. I've never used it before, and I'm not sure how it'd effect Genymotion, but it's worth a try.

As for Android Proxy apps, you'll just have to try several different ones from the Play Store until you find one that works, if any. A possible reason the Proxy apps are getting messed up is because Genymotion VMs actually use two Network connections. The first one is for Genymotion's software to talk directly to the VM, and the other is used for the normal internet connection.

No. That didn't work. Any other solution? Isn't this Genymotion user friendly ? I'm fed up of this.
