Issues:
1. no boot
2. mouse support
3. wake from sleep
4. private storage
5. secure clipboard
1. If HVM hangs priors to splash screen, try adding `vga=ask` to boot kernel parameters. (1024x768x16 works for me)
2. Mouse cursor needs to be dragged around inside vm.
Not aware of any workaround.

3. Can't figure out how to wake hvm from sleep.
Untested workaround: Disable sleep completely by adding:
"setprop sleep.state disabled" to /data/local.prop
or "sleep.state=disabled" to /system/build.prop
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-x86/8iSh5pVqv4U/Fz8Nh11UDwAJ)
4. Is moving /home/ as simple as copying and editing fstab or are there qubes-specific steps that need to be taken? If yes, would appreciate it if someone could point me to qubes package that handles this.
5. No clue. I hope someone is willing to work on this.
Forgot to mention that networking works out-of-the-box.
Also, it appears the mouse issue is solved here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/android-x86/mouse$20issue|sort:date/android-x86/iFoKcvK2xNE/nYHoR6oSBgAJ
Will report back once I've had a chance to investigate.
Actually, I was hoping to set up an HVM Template VM. Does that change things?

I posted the link without reading fully. It was a dead-end. Sorry to waste your time.
The solution is probably over my head. AFAICT, it's an issue with how QEMU is implemented in Xen. The input device in question is passed via `-usbdevice tablet` instead of being left to the default PS/2 emulation. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to disable that parameter from within Xen?
Changing *.conf files in /var/lib/qubes has no affect. Any changes are reverted on boot.
Did you install the GRUB bootloader?
The HVM just sits there forever with "ANDROID" spinning. It goes on for days.
