So we’re going to create a new partition.
VMWARE FUSION CREATE MAC VM ANDROID
Installing and configuring the Android VM.Ĥ.1 When you boot up the machine, you will see the following Screen.Ĥ.2 We’ve given the vm 20GB of disk space (Thin), but currently, this amount of space has not been assigned.
VMWARE FUSION CREATE MAC VM ISO
The ISO is already selected because we selected to deploy from ISO, and the internet is automatically being shared with the VM trough NAT. I increased it to 1gb as well, this way I know it going to be much faster during the bootup and it will go past the Android screen, which a lot of people tend to get stuck in. Turn on 3D-Acceleration, and increase the Shared Graphics Memory. After that, click “Show All” and you go back to the previous screen.ģ.2 Click on Display and you will see the following Screen. You can also change the amount of processors, but I wouldn’t go above 2. Customize Virtual Hardware SettingsĪfter that the vm is listed into your machine library, and it will prompt this screen if you have chosen, customize settings.ģ.1 Change to amount of memory. Best to do it into one go.Ģ.6 It will ask where you want to store machine, and what kind of name you want to give it. If you don’t, it will boot up the machine with the current settings and you have to change it afterwards. So instead of Finish, you best click “Customize Settings”. You can also increase the amount of processors, but that is less necessary. So we are going to Change the amount of Memory and turn on 3D Acceleration for your screen. We need to ramp it up with a little bit more specs, otherwise it won’t be able to bootup. After that select “Continue”.Ģ.4 Select “Legacy BIOS” and click Continue.Ģ.5 This screen will show you the current settings for this virtual machine. the “Create a custom virtual Machine” option, because this way you are more certain that you’ve selected the proper Virtual Hardware. You will see that after you’ve selected the ISO, it will detect the type of Virtual Hardware it is going to need to deploy the machine. Open up VMware Fusion / Workstation and create a new VMĢ.3 Load the ISO by clicking the “Use Another disc or disc image…”. There you can find all the latest ISO’s that are available. So one site that I can definitely recommend is. There are a few ways how you can deploy the OS, but my favorite way is by just simple installing it on a VM with virtualized hardware based on FreeBSD. Btw, if video’s are more your thing, check out the youtube video that I made. So I decided to virtualize the Android with VMware Fusion for mac, also known as Workstation on Windows.
I didn’t had any android phone, and some apps that I actually needed, where not available on any other OS. So it started when I had to bring my phone back for repairs. Tested on macOS High Sierra & VMware Fusion 10.1.2
