I dont know how to install Google Play Services. I’m using Virtualbox. Can you help me please?
First of all, move the file to the Virtual Machine, and it install it regularly. Also, you can download the file on VM.
hi,i install that but WiFi don’t connect to my laptop network .
can you help me to connect it?
thanks,
Set the Network Adapter of the Virtual Machine to NAT.
i cant get the download (http://download1026.mediafire.com/54uwi5545o7g/5s14racgc2jbawi/Google+Play+Services.apk) to work! the link takes me to a error page 🙁 please help!
Check from another browser
I did, but still nothing. I found a different one on the video but every time I open play store it just says play services stopped
Enable 3D Graphic acceleration
DO YOU THINK I TRYED THAT??? I DID! IT THE THING THATS MAKING ANDROID WORK!
Is it question or an alternative answer
Can i have iso link
We don’t have the ISO file of Android Nougat just do a google search if you find.
What is the solution to get this error
http://prntscr.com/efleva
It’s not compatible with your CPU.
Does touch screen functionality work if installing on a Windows PC with a touch panel? And is it as responsive as an actual Android tablet? Thanks!
Hey, I have no idea but you can give a try and let me know if it works.
Got it installed in VMWare 12.5, Internet works, Settings-Graphics reports OpenGLES3, which is impressive (haven’t tested that yet).
However, after turning on developer mode (the standard multiple click method), any attempt to access “developer settings” causes the settings app to lock (eventually get a ‘hang/wait/close’ dialog).
Anyone try to debug or develop apps with this yet?
Besides using an image with Gapps builted in, anyone knows how to enable the play store in the sotck image from this article? The webview browser doesn’t allow download, the file manager craches when opened, there’s no smb connection app and it doesn’t support vmware tools. I’m wondering how can I get anything installed in this os.
Download and Install Google Play services then you will have PlayStore.
http://download1026.mediafire.com/54uwi5545o7g/5s14racgc2jbawi/Google+Play+Services.apk
The problem is that webview browser doesn’t allow download.
Download if to your host then copy it to the VM.
Right. How I can do this? Vmware doesn’t work with this guest OS and there’s no smb connection tool on it. The only way I’ve not tested is to put the files in a usb flash drive and try to map it on the VM. Gonna try this.
Yes, use the features from bottom right corner of your VMware Screen. Let me know the Result 😉
*I mean Vmware tools doesn’t work with this guest OS.
Well, nothing worked. Vmware tools wont install on this OS. I also tried this:
– map an usb flash drive
– set a share folder in vm settings
– map the virtual hard drive to my host OS (when I try to access it tells me to format the volume)
What solved my problem was getting an iso of RemixOS. It came with google play services and with some kind of “pre-root” feature, which allowed me to just install the Super Su apk and root the OS super easily. The other image with gapps didn’t worked with the Super Su app.
Thanks for sharing your feedback dear Leafar
Just adding this info: I was using vmware player 12.
Thumbs Up

Hi all. Please help. My installation was successful but it only boot the CLI, no gui like what you have in the screenshot.
I am using vmware 12
Hi,
Go to Virtual Machine Settings -> Display and check “Accelerate 3D graphics”. Everything will be fine.
I’m getting a boot loop of sorts; won’t go past this loading screen
https://s18.postimg.org/u443mlvkp/Clipboard01.pngThis happens to me as well, this isn’t a loading though, it’s just a terminal. You can type commands here, but i don’t know what to enter to start the UI.

Welcome 🙂
Does the networking work? Without it, IMHO the product is useless on this platform of course.
Yes dear, it works. You have full access to the internet.
Checksum error in D:\Virtual Machines\ISO\Android\naugatx8620160902.iso.bz2. The file is corrupt
It seems the ISO which you ‘ve downloaded isn’t complete.
Download that again, and try to use IDM to download the file.
