OpenGL on VM (Virtualbox or VMware)

[Thirumalaisamy K]

I have tried the latest 4.4r2 on both VMware & Virtualbox. But, In both VMs Clash of Clans was crashing eventhough I have already installed houdini. In logs I have observed the following runtime error is appeared before crash

E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 236
E AndroidRuntime: Process: com.supercell.clashofclans, PID: 4100

I have checked the about tablet screen as well. OpenGL driver is marked as "null"

Almost all other emulators can run without any issue.
Will Android-x86 will get openGL support for VM like VMware or Virtulbox?

It's right.

AOSP emulator implement GPU accelerate by forward opengl to the host.

You can find it in libemulation.so. in device/generic/goldfish/opengl

Follow is the opengl accelerate design.

http://androidxref.com/5.0.0_r2/xref/sdk/emulator/opengl/DESIGN

by default, libemulation.so forward all opengl to "qemu-pipe". You can modify HostConnection.cpp make it connect to a host socket. so, you can process it youself.

Do you mean that I have to recompile from the sources after modifying HostConnection.cpp?
I am not a programmer. Just an user...!!!

Genymotion is good for normal user, I think.

Or see this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=zh-CN#!topic/android-x86/g9OQqitaF7k

Rishi Ranjan has resolve this problem. Maybe he has the entire solution.

I have tried Genymotion too. It has same issue after installing ARM translation libraries.

If you only want "something than can run android apps nicely,
including native arm apps, with acceptable 3D performance under
windows", try amiduos. It should already include 3d and arm
translation by default. Other additional features (e.g. gapps) can be
enabled after installation: http://amiduos.com/nextsteps
