I am trying to give my emulator a 4'7 screen size (I don't know the height and width dimentions). At the moment I am trying to set it in the AVD manager. Then I am trying to edit one of the available emulator. This isn't working. Is there a better way to do it?

There a couple solutions you can try:There is a tool called stacksTweak around the forums which you can google. It didn't work for me though (it worked for others so it is worth trying). What worked for me was to tweak some registers myself. Here's a tutorial on that: -developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298332

registry edit only resize the screen and then you are left with smaller screen. but the problem is that the content of the app is not configured accordingly as it happen in real mobile. also it doesn't provide you the scroll bar at top or bottom to see the screen which is not visible at front.

I've tried the regedit method (all references to seem to be out of date, since I have GuestHeight/Width and WindowHeight/Width instead of just "Height" and "Width"). I can get the loading screen to come up with my specified dimensions, but after initialization it reverts the size back to something else. I did make sure to kill all the bluestacks processes via the task manager. I'm in windows 7, and I should mention i have 3 screens, one of which is a different resolution.

Hello all, I have a 2016 Macbook Pro laptop that has around 22gb of free space on the hard drive, but every time I try to open an app. using Bluestacks, it gives me an error saying there is an upgrade of some sort, but not enough space on device??

I am confused by this honestly, because there is a wealth of free space on the hard drive, for what turns out to be a 60 - 600 mb update. I can still open the application, but I have to click Try Again shown, and then choose Cancel, which works, and continues to open the application.

Can someone explain to me why I am getting the error please?? Does the Bluestacks use a MASSIVE amount of disk space to begin an update, or something?? Else, is it talking about me not having enough RAM memory??

As Ronasara has pointed out, a drive with low free disk space will stop running properly. One reason for this is that some software uses more than the physical available memory and hence has to page to disk. For instance, software that requires 4 GB physical memory simply to execute, but needs to use 16 GB while running, will need use disk space for that additional 12 GB if your Mac does not have 16 GB physical memory available. Bluestacks recommends 8 GB physical memory, but even if you have that, the MacOS and other software may be using most of that, hence disk space is needed far above the 600 MB you mention above to run the software.

Bluestacks is gaming software and I expect that means its memory (and disk space requirements could grow very large when in use. They are possibly restricting installation only to systems that appear to have at least the recommended resources available so the software can be used in a reasonable way.Hence the installer may be looking for 32 GB free disk space and 8 GB physical memory.

The Bluestacks installer may be enforcing the above minimums to avoid getting complaints from users that Bluestacks is crashing their computers, or is running very slowly, or freezes. I suspect that that disk space free requirement is not to accommodate the much smaller download, but to ensure that the program is actually usable after it is installed.

I have some thoughts to share with you. An update (of any app) requires a certain amount of free space to download to. After it's downloaded, it then will typically overwrite the old app. We can discuss how to evaluate how much space you do or do not have, but your app needs more for whatever reason. Second point. If you allow your hard drive to get too full, the computer will stop functioning. It appears that you may be at the point where it behooves you to either clear out some files to make more available space, or you need to install an external disk. (Which I recommend.) Then you can transfer files onto it and delete them from the hard drive to clear needed space. These days, external drives are available in all sizes at reasonable prices. They are very compact, unlike those older models, and easy to install with provided USB cables. Most of them do not require external power. Sometimes, you may have to reformat the drive, though. That's what I recommend. Easy to do and problem solved.

This thing is ridiculous, I mean, I do not know how many friggin TERABYTES of disk space is needed for this thing to just finish an update that ends up only needing like 100 mb of space, but it is getting to be tiresome now. I moved a TON of files / folders that I wanted to keep off my laptop and onto an external drive, and it still was not enough for the buggy piece of garbage application.

It seems to be the greediest, most resource hogging application in the universe, and every single month it wants to do an new upgrade that requires exponentially more free space to even start, but then when it is finished, it turns out it was only a 160mb update. So, what in the world did it need 100gb of free space for a 160mb update for??

It doesn't sound like a problem with your Mac, but rather a bug in Bluestacks, it is unable to properly sense the amount of available space on the computer. At some point you might decide to simply stop using software like this that is poorly written and doesn't even provide any visible support to its users and customers.

I originally bought the thing to be a lab test device since it has an embedded RS-232 serial port to configure routers and appliances, but after getting it setup, I loaded on Office, Teams, Quicken, Zoom, Great Plains, Dynamics, and all of our day to day business/work apps and it performed just as fast as my big 15" laptop.

Here's the thing I really like about it, it weights a measly 1.2-pounds, and as you can see in the pictures, the thing is tiny. It's too big to fit in my pocket (unless I wore clown pants), but it's maybe 30% wider than my mobile phone.

With the summer upon us and my office opened up again to those who want to venture out into the real world, I'm riding my bike to work every day. Instead of lugging along a 3.5-pound 15" laptop, I now just have this tiny 1-pound 7" laptop to transport back/forth to the office.

AND when I'm at home, I've been trying to minimize the "work time" at home, and what better to help me do that than a tiny laptop that is functional enough for me to access ALL of my business apps, write emails, review/edit documents, sign PDF files, jump on Zoom or Teams meeting, etc when I need to, but not completely comfortable enough to sit and "work" a lot during personal time (my email replies from home off hours are a lot shorter and more concise than before, and I don't spend time aimlessly surfing the web on the thing unless I need to)

I'm know I can plug it into a large monitor and keyboard at home, but then I'm back to "working at home", so I purposely am leaving this thing to being functional when I need full access to my business apps, but not so convenient to spend more time on it than I need to.

My biggest gripe is the thing doesn't have a built-in Webcam, which in this Zoom/Teams world, when I need to jump on a meeting, I need a camera. So I popped $30 and bought a really small Webcam that plugs into one of the USB A ports on the back of the system, with the tail on the thing being the perfect length to pop out to the top above the screen.

The keyboard takes a little getting used to as various punctuation keys are in random places (like / \ " : - etc), but for touch typing, after a couple days on the keyboard, I can now type out emails, edit a document, fill in forms, etc just as quickly as I can on a full keyboard.

I thought the small screen size would bother me, but the resolution quality is just like a regular full size laptop in a 7" screen. I would never want to spend an entire day on this keyboard and screen, but I was on a flight the other day and wrote a 3-page document while inflight, and it charges up using the same USB-C power adapter I charge up my phone, so I just got a little splitter and charge up my phone and laptop with the same little adapter. No lugging around a big laptop "power brick" with me.
