Irecently experienced an embarrassing situation when joining a Zoom video conference call with an inappropriate virtual background image shown to other zoom session participants. When I tried to change my Video virtual background image to 'None', the inappropriate image still displayed behind my live video. I am running Android Zoom version 5.9.1 (build 3642) on a Galaxy S10 - Sense UI 3.1 and the option to change my Virtual Video background image is under Settings --> Background and Filters --> Backgrounds. When I chose 'None' for the background image, the image loaded was still the inappropriate image instead of !
Upon further testing, if I chose a new image, this image now becomes the default 'None' image and I can't change the image until I select another image which if I didn't have another appropriate image to choose, would be extremely embarrassing for myself and others that join a Zoom call . This is a ripe opening for anyone with access to my or other Zoom users' mobile Android devices to change this setting without the user's knowledge and with no method to set a 'None' (no image) option.
NOTE: I also attempted to remove this inappropriate image by clearing app cache and data on my Android device but the 'None' image still appeared when joining a Zoom video call. I also uninstalled the Zoom app. from my phone and reinstalled/restarted my phone but the 'None' image still appeared when joining a Zoom video call. Only after setting a different background image did my 'None' background picture option change/persist.
Hi @JB76, as to what you're experiencing this isn't really the functionality of Zoom when switching virtual backgrounds as None should display no background, and uploading an image to your VB on your Device will switch if tapped on.
Hello - I tried this setting and 'None' still had the inappropriate image. Is this virtual background being overwritten by an external setting in Android? I noticed the Sense UI on my Samsung phone has a Video call effects setting with the Zoom app. listed as available to use with this setting?
Hey @JB76, I see that Sense UI modifies many aspects of the Android user experience which may be taking effect on your Zoom experience. Would suggest removing the UI and retesting what you're experiencing on the original OS of Android 9 (Pie) I believe (going to have to remind me the latest version of Android)
Hey @JB76 because we only support Android and not the APK Sense UI as it modifies the original state and functionality, which may be what you're experiencing. You can look into our System requirements for Android.
I tried adb reboot recovery, adb reboot bootloader, adb shell reboot recovery, etc. All of these commands print no output, and hang indefinitely while the emulator shows no response. (Side note: adb devices shows emulator-5554, as expected.)
I noted that issuing a shutdown command through the UI also hangs indefinitely, so I'm thinking maybe rebooting is simply not an option for the emulator. Is there a different way that I can boot an Android virtual device into recovery mode?
If your goal is to install Google Apps in the emulator, then you need to follow a completely different proceedure then the one telling you to reboot into recovery. Truth is, the emulators do not have a recovery partition, so there's no such thing as recovery mode for an emulator.
Search for procedures that are specific to the problem of getting Google Apps running in the emulator. I've done it before, but I can tell you it's a pain and there's no generic way to explain it without knowing the specifics of your setup (i.e., SDK version, x86 vs. ARM, etc.). Even then, it may not be possible.
If there's not a compelling reason forcing you to use the emulators, consider trying a virtual machine solution like Genymotion instead of the emulator. VMs are way faster than the SDK emulators and for most there are clear procedures available for installing Google Apps. Genymotion in particular has instructions for doing so. Genymotion also integrates with Android Studio/Eclipse and supports the debug bridge (adb). See
genymotion.com to download.
some games need an option to choose, and so need to type some
keys.in this page (bottom of the page) it says that the virtual keyboard can be opened with select+down key of the controller (the controller is included with the gpd xd plus)but in my case when i press select+down there is no virtual keyboard.i searched many options to try in the menu but nothing succed.
But, the apps run really slow since it is 2 virtual machine layers deep. The first layer gets virtualization support with multiple cores, but the 2nd layer (BlueStacks Android emulator) does not get hardware virtualization support, and is therefore single-threaded and very slow.
I noticed this question exists too: What Android emulators are available?, but it's extremely out-of-date. The accepted answer is from 2012. The longest answer was last updated in 2017 and doesn't even mention BlueStacks, which is perhaps an industry leader today, and the other answers are all from 2012 and 2013.
I'm travelling tomorrow and I need to take a basic Linux machine with me. I'd rather just take my tablet than a laptop. So is there a reasonable simple Linux virtual machine that I can install as an Android app. and which I can ssh into with Putty from any PC I find (ideally via the USB cable)?
There is a recent Andronix app which allows running modified distributions without having to root the phone. However, there are many restrictions -started/limitations/ some of which may interfere with the intended usage scenario

there are controls for tilting the virtual device.
click on the three dots next to your phone.
select virtual sensors on the left menu
select device pose from the top menu
then adjust the sliders
Thanks for sharing this I had no idea
Although it looks a little inconvinient to use to test the game.
Have you had success with this? It seems to me using the keyboard is still the better way to test on the simulator.
the virtual sensors are sensitive and hard to work with but it gets the job done as far as seeing if the code for the accelerometer works. Working with your target device (a physical phone) seems like the best choice.
Hi All on Samsung Tablets running Android 7.11 only I don't have a virtual home button. The Notification windows is and has always been set to not configured. I've tried both the floating and swipe up on the Virtual Home button and still no help. It is there on all my Android 10 tablets.
@charliedemler You have to delegate the Managed Home Screen app permission to "Draw over other apps." Unfortunately, I have not found a way to do this via Intune, but you can do it manually. Here is a link :
I have a problem with connection the android emulator with eggplant. I am using the virtual machine with installed android 4.0. I can not run the VNC server. Application (VNC) has root privileges. Has anyone tried to connect in this way? If so, please help.
I want a direct connection between a virtual machine and eggplant. The device is rooted. I checked several VNC servers, but none of them works. On your web site is information about the possibility of using the virtual machine with android. I would like to know how to configure it. I do not want to connect to the host. For my needs this solution works too slowly.
I have not checked VMLite yet. I wonder how to connect the virtual machine with the Host via usb. VMLite requires it to run. I do not know how to configure it. Do you have a tutorial for virtual machines?
This document describes AVDs for Test Lab,including benefits and known limitations. We also provide recommendations abouthow to test your app throughout the development lifecycle. Test Lab AVDs aresimilar to AVDs for AndroidStudio but are optimized for performance with cloud testing, so there are afew differences between the two.
You can test your app with virtual devices the same way that you test it withphysical devices. You can select virtual devices for your tests when youconfigure a test matrix. To learn more about running tests withTest Lab, see Get started testing for Android withFirebase Test Lab.
When developing your app, use the Android Studio emulator or an attachedphysical device to examine each build for initial validation. If you haveinstrumentation tests, you can also run these tests from Android Studio oneither physical or virtual devices provided by Test Lab.
If you work on a large project, or if you contribute to projects that are sharedusing GitHub or a similar site, we recommend that you use continuous integration(CI) systems. Test your apps on virtual devices each time that the CI systemruns, or before each pull request. To learn more about using Test Lab with CIsystems, see Using Test Lab for Android with Continuous IntegrationSystems.
Before you release app updates with significant changes in UI and functionality,we recommend that you use Test Lab to test your app onphysical devices. This will help to ensure that your app is stable andperformant on a wide range of popular physical devices. Testing on physicaldevices also ensures test coverage for any app functionality that relies onphysical device features that are not simulated by virtual devices. To learnmore about these features, see Known limitations.
Periodically, the Android team adds new virtual device images, deprecates oldones, and updates existing ones. We apply these updates to our virtual deviceimages to help ensure that you're testing against up-to-date Androidversions that reflect your users' experiences.
Some physical device features are not currently simulated by virtual devices,or are simulated with some limitations. The following table summarizes featuresthat are currently unavailable on virtual devices, or that are available withcertain limitations:
