Genymotion, the fastest emulator on earth.

Installing Genymotion :

1. Visit this site.

2. Create an account and verify your email address.

3. Login to Genymotion in there website and click on the "Get Genymotion" grey button on the top right corner. Download the software.

4. Also download Virtual Box for Linux by clicking here.

5. After downloading, install both the software.

Setup Genymotion :

1. Launch Genymotion and login with your username and password.

2. Select "Add a new virtual device" and add any of the devices available on the list.

   Note : All virtual devices are now not equipped with Google apps.

3. After the download completes, click on Next and it will now ask for a name of the virtual device. Enter a name, select Create and click Finish.

4. The desired Virtual device will be shown in your home screen.

5. To configure ADT and SDK path, download this. Place the desired folder anywhere on your PC and give the path in the SDK path section in Genymotion.

6. Now you have a fully functional Android in your Computer.

Configure it with Eclipse IDE:

1. Open Eclipse and select Help->Install New Software.

2. Click here and hit Enter.

3. Genymobile will be shown, select it and click next.

4. Genymotion Eclipse Plugin will be downloaded and installed.

5. Now restart Eclipse IDE the plugin will be active.

6. Now you can run your apps developed in eclipse in Genymotion Android Emulator.

Install Google Apps :

1. Download the following files.
    i) ARM Translation ZIP

    ii) Correct Google Apps for your android version.

        a) Google Apps for Android 4.3
        b) Google Apps for Android 4.2

        c) Google Apps for Android 4.1

2. Open your genymotion Virtual Machine and go to home-screen.

3. Now Drag & Drop ARM Translation ZIP onto the Genymotion VM window.

4. It should say "File transfer in progress", once it asks you to flash it click 'OK'.

5. Now Reboot your VM using ADB or an app like ROM Toolbox. If necessary you can simply close the VM window, but I don't recommend it.

6. Once you're on the Home-screen again Drag&Drop the gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip(or whatever version you got) onto your VM, and click 'OK' when asked.

7. Once it finishes, again Reboot your VM and open the Google Play Store.

8. Sign in using your Google account.

9. Once in the Store go to the 'My Apps' menu and let everything update(fixes a lot of issues).

10. Now try searching for 'Netflix' and 'Google Drive'.

11. If both apps show up in the results and you're able to Download/Install them, then congrats you now have ARM support and Google Play fully setup!
