Visual Machine Setup

Setting up Android Virtual Machine with Android Version 9 and Earlier Images

This guide demonstrates using

https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/osdn/android-x86/71931/android-x86_64-9.0-rc2.iso

as an example

Template Setup

Create a virtual machine with VMID 100 and select the corresponding storage disk

Select the Android image, then choose Linux for Type and select the option containing version 2.6 for Version

Select Vmware compatible for Graphic card, other options as shown in the default image

Select SATA for disk format, allocate disk size as needed (recommended at least 30G)

Select host for CPU type. If your host machine doesn't support nested virtualization, please select qemu64, although success is not guaranteed in this case

Allocate at least 4G of memory, enter at least 4096

Select vmbr1 for bridge binding, choose VirtIO (paravirtualized) for Model, and uncheck the Firewall option

After clicking the continue button, the template is successfully created. You need to manually click start and enter the VNC interface

System Init

After entering the boot screen, select the option starting with Installation

Next, you need to create and write to the disk. If you can't select it, press the 'c' key on the keyboard to select it

Choose not to use GPT format

When the blank disk is displayed, select New

Select partition type Primary

You'll be prompted to allocate space, just press Enter to use all available space

Then select Flags, move to Bootable, press Enter until Boot is displayed under Flags

Then move to Write and press Enter to write

You'll be asked to confirm, type yes and press Enter to continue

After a progress bar completes, you'll return to the initial menu. Select Quit to exit the menu, and everything is now ready

Then you'll return to the UI interface. Use the previously initialized disk, select the OK button and press Enter

Use the arrow keys to select ext4 for the file system, then select the OK button and press Enter

Confirm formatting, select the OK button and press Enter

Confirm GRUB boot installation, select the OK button and press Enter

Confirm the file system is readable and writable, select the OK button and press Enter

After a progress bar runs for a while, it will show installation succeeded. Select Reboot, then the OK button and press Enter

After a while, you'll enter the Android logo screen

Then it will go into a black screen. If it remains black after 3-5 minutes, execute qm stop 100 on the host machine, then begin removing the image file

Remove the ISO file that has been installed by manually clicking on the corresponding CD in the Hardware section of the ProxmoxVE web interface and selecting Remove

Then execute qm start 100 on the host machine, and you should enter the Android system initialization interface

Select your language in the initialization interface, then click the confirm button

At this point it will try to connect to WIFI. Since this PVE installation uses completely static network configuration, skip this step and configure it later

Click the next button to confirm time settings

Click to cancel screen protection, confirm to skip again

After a period of black screen, the main screen application selection will appear. If this interface still doesn't appear after waiting 3-5 minutes, restart the virtual machine as before, and it should display when you enter VNC again

Select Quickstep
