Select the last option: Installation - Install Android-x86 to harddisk Click OK and start the VM by double clicking it in the VirtualBox Manager window. It says not attached but don’t worry – that’s about to change. Now we can boot to it just as if we slipped a real CD into a real PC. You’ll see it pop into the party fashionably late under your Storage Tree.

It looks like a little CD with a green plus icon next to it. Select the Virtual Machine in the main VirtualBox Manager window and then press Ctrl + s to open the Settings (or click the orange cog icon next to that bristly blue “New” icon in the options bar.)Ĭlick Storage in the left pane and click the tiny Add a CD/DVD Device icon in the middle pane under the Storage Tree. Mounting is just a geekola term for attaching a file to the virtual machine. It was like a tradition to yell “Mount up!” and then starting blowing each other to bits with M90 tactical shotguns and S2 AM Sniper Rifles.īut when we’re talking about Virtualbox “mount up” is my allusion to mounting the ISO. This is what I would tell me college buddies right before we got into a multiplayer death match of Halo 2. It took me a whopping 01:07 seconds to create my fixed size VM on my i5-3330S CPU, 8GB of RAM, 512 SSD Dell. Conversely, with the latter, you trade a longer setup process for a zippier run time experience. The former gives you a zippy setup process for a possibly slower run time experience. The way I see it is like this: Both Dynamically Allocated and Fixed Sized are going to make you wait. Yes, it’ll take longer to create the fixed VDI than a Dynamically Allocated hard drive but the performance improvements make it worth it. The only thing I suggest changing is the Storage on physical hard drive setting.
You’re going to need room for all the apps you’re going to install.Īlso leave the Hard Drive File Type to VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image). This humble action will whisk you away like Alice in Wonderland to the wonderful world of File Sizes, File Locations and Hard Drive types. Now click create the Create button in the bottom right portion of the window to create your virtual hard drive. But go for it if you can and you won’t regret it. I realize a 2GB allocation to a virtual machine is expensive and not everyone can afford it. This is 2GB but if you can’t quite afford the 2GB cost, it’ll still work on 1024 MB (1GB).

Just make sure the Version is set to Oracle (32 bit) because the ISO is 32 bits.(that’s what the x86 means in the ISO filename)

Once you download the ISO, fire up VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine by clicking the blue spikey ball thingy in the upper left corner of the window.Ĭlick the Hide Description button in the bottom of the Create Virtual Machine window.Īs soon as you start typing “Android Lollipop”, VirtualBox should automatically change the Type to Linux. Google Drive is your candy store and android_x86-5.0.2.iso is your lollipop. Just go to download the latest x86/amd64 platform for your Windows machine and keep all the default settings in the installer. Unless you’re a weirdo who likes watching paint dry or watching documentary movies for the credits screen, I’m going to skip the boring stuff. I won’t walk you through the installation though because it’s about as exciting as waiting in a doctors office with nothing to read. The first thing you need to do is get Virtualbox. Go grab a bib because this could get messy. And the good news is that installing Lollipop isn’t much different from installing Android KitKat in Virtualbox. So here’s the deal: Android Lollipop is even more scrumptious than its predecessor Kit Kat. The fact that I live in New York City and know exactly where the Dylan’s Candy Bar is doesn’t help my addiction. Sour Apple and Cherry were the best.Īnd now, many decades, later I still find myself pining over the cloying yet strangely satisfying taste of lollipops. As a kid I used to go gagga over charms lollipops.
