Youre not running the Genymotion player but Virtual Box. Try to run the genymotion binary (the one where you downloaded the templates) and to launch your VMs from it directly. It brings a lot of improvements.

You should reduce the memory from the settings of virtualbox.1. open virtualbox and select emulator2. press setting and go to system tab3. assign the memory to what you want. I just give the emulator 200MB and it works Ok.


Then click the three dots of the device and then you will get a list of options. Then select edit. After that, a dialog box will pop and you just have to set a different RAM size (Memory size) in the system section.


As in title. I use Genymotion to emulate Android devices. With time passing, VDI size increases to the point there's no space left on the partition I placed it in. After reading guides I found out that I'm supposed to zero-out space as a guest and then defrag as a host, but how to do so if I have Android as guest?


If you are using windows you could put that vdi on a compressed folder (right click on folder, general tab, advanced button, check on "compress contents to save disk space")... I know this is a workaround, but could work for you as i don't know any method to defrag a android OS as i believe it is designed to work on flash storage.Good luck!


Hello. I installed Emulator I did everything right and it opens correctly. The "telephone screen" opens and app inventor app opens too. However, my coding and block do not appear and after a long time waiting it says: "The Application MIT A2 Companion has stopped unexpectedly."

What do I do?


Emulator is up to date, I have had updated before. But I followed your advise and tried to connect to an empty project and it worked. And yes, I have large images. But their sizings are defined like this:

image903749 76.8 KB

This procedure happens when the screen initializes.


Thank you very much. I actually intended to see my porject in the different screen sizes, that is why I wanted to use emulator. (I do not have any android device except from my phone.) Do you have any idea how to do that? I have to place image sprites to a canvas but I want it to look good on every screen size.


You either need several Android devices to test your app's behavior or use a more sophisticated emulator than the standard emulator App Inventor 2 provides ( Android's basic emulator).


I need to run Genymotion. It does not support Virtualbox 7 yet. I can successfully downgrade Virtualbox to version 6.1.36, but when i try to downgrade the virtualbox-host-modules package its giving the following:


My problem is virtualbox downgrade related. How does one successfully downgrade virtualbox without getting the Kernel Driver Not Installed (rc=-1908) error from virtualbox itself (if you try to run a VM from within Virtualbox only) eg this is not a genymotion error but a virtualbox one


This should be possible with dkms

There is a package virtualbox-host-dkms - but it is, of course, now at version 7

Perhaps you can get the older one - or modify the PKGBUILD to work with the 6.1 version of virtualbox.


Ignoring a package in pacman.conf - is not recommended - it is creating your recent issue - and is what we call an xyproblem - your fix caused a new problem which you then try to solve without solving the initial issue.


If the genymotion support tells you that virtualbox 7 is not supported - then you need to use a supported system but obviously it is a mere excuse as I have just demonstrated that genimotion does work on my system.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Genymotion, an industry-leading provider of cloud-based Android emulation and VMI solutions, today announced the integration of Applitools, the leading provider of AI Powered end-to-end Visual Testing and Monitoring, to allow users to scale automated visual testing through the Genymotion Cloud. The new integration is a perfect union of these two offerings, making it easy for Applitools users to scale their visual tests using Genymotion Cloud virtual devices, and for Genymotion's eight million Android developers and QA professionals to add AI Powered automated visual testing to its cloud-based emulation and CDI solution for testing on all Android devices at the same time.


With AI Powered Automated Visual Testing integrated into the Genymotion Cloud, engineers can parallelize app tests across all Android devices at once, in order to detect all bugs -- including visual and functional bugs identified via Visual AI -- early and easily in the test cycle.


Digital Transformation has created the need for QA engineers to test their mobile applications on a large number of Android devices and screen sizes quickly, which is hard to scale with actual physical devices. Using Genymotion Cloud in combination with Applitools' automated visual testing suite, Android developers speed up their parallel tests, accelerate releases and simultaneously improve the quality of their Android applications.


Genymotion Cloud is a powerful Android emulator on cloud to run and scale automated tests, and reduce time-to-market of apps. With flexible per-minute pricing, QA professionals and test automation engineers have the ability to manage their testing costs by scaling up or down the number of devices. Register on Genymotion Cloud to try its solution for free, no contract.


"Applitools is the clear leader in the Automated Visual Testing space as a result of its industry-leading Visual AI technology, and we are excited that their suite of application visual management solutions is now available to Genymotion Cloud users," said Tim Danford, CEO at Genymotion. "Engineers who need to scale their testing can now take advantage of the opportunity to save time and get their product to market quicker than ever before."


Applitools helps developers, test automation engineers, QA professionals, and DevOps teams automatically run visual tests at scale across every app, browser, OS, and screen size through its AI powered end-to-end visual testing and monitoring solution.


"I am glad that these two industry-leading technologies have integrated in order to bring Android Developers the value of automated visual testing combined with the Genymotion Cloud," said Gil Sever, CEO of Applitools. "Visual AI is the only way for developers to visually validate every screen of the native Android applications quickly and accurately to support faster releases at a higher quality than ever before."


"I'm happy to see Applitools and Genymotion working together to lower the barrier to entry for mobile automated visual testing," said Jonathan Lipps, Architect of the Appium project and Founder of AppiumPro. "As someone who's focused on making it easier for the world to achieve all kinds of mobile automation, I appreciate how this integration will put easy distributed visual testing within the grasp of every tester using tools they're already familiar with."


Join a webinar presented by Jonathan Lipps titled, "Easy Distributed Visual Testing for Mobile Apps and Sites" and learn how to easily parallelize your tests across all Android devices at once, in order to quickly detect bugs and spend less time on test runs. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, July 9 at 10 am PDT (1 pm EDT / 6 pm UK). To register, visit: ( -APP-webinar-w-J-Lipps )

However, note that in Android the window size may change when rotating the screen, and some devices may have multi window functionality. Handling resize events could ensure the correct size at all times.


@adforandroidapps, thanks for keeping it short. @bluedot, instead of configuring virtual box vm on your own, use genymotion. Genymotion works awesome and uses Virtual Box. Additionally it is lightning fast to bring up as compared to stock emulator.

Google expects screenshots of specific size AxB size in pixels. Just provision a new 7inch and 10inch devices in Genymotion and use your Devices View in Eclipse to get the screenshots. I think you need minimum 2 screenshots overall and maximum 7 screenshots per category in dev. console. Just cross check my last statement.


When you scroll past the last image, you see the first one (for the 7-inch screenshots) etc. (if what you say is correct). I had presumed that Google Play had implemented a new cyclic view feature so last screenshot leads to first.


In any case, IF Google Play has implemented 7-inch and 10-inch screenshots this way for the 10-inch users (for example) - that is a very inefficient way to show those screenshots. Since most users would not wade through all screenshots - and so the 7-inch and 10-inch screenshots are probably getting 1/10 of the eyeballs that the first (phone-specific) screenshot is getting (even for tablet users) ???
