take your time

abstract cargo
restive fable
#

oh this is easy

#

ok

#

when you do qemu-img create, you're creating a virtual disk

#

so imagine you created a physical harddrive

#

when you launch the VM, you need to create a partition because as far as the VM is aware, the disk is completely fresh

#

after the partition is made, you can write a filesystem to it and you'll be on your way

abstract cargo
#

ohhh

restive fable
#

yeah i get the confusion

#

its a bit wacky

abstract cargo
#

so even if it says that im going to delete and dk everything it wont

#

right

restive fable
#

yup

#

its entirely contained within that qcow 2 you made

abstract cargo
#

r we sure i launched it correctly on the 2nd command

#

oh ok

restive fable
#

yeah there isnt a way it can access your main drive

abstract cargo
#

do u think the command is full? i tried to ge tthe most out of the man but its huge

restive fable
#

i think that looks good

abstract cargo
#

ive put the qemu cpu because i wasnt sure which else to put

#

-m 1G ok?

restive fable
#

there are a few guides online on making android vms with qemu that could help you out if you arent sure

abstract cargo
#

oh

#

well im already following one to aim for arm emulation

#

so now i see if my own is good otherwsie i follow that too

#

lets see

#

thx for help btw ill let u kno

restive fable
#

no problem, gl

#

132% WTF

#

Its a virtual partition

#

Inside the image you created, not your actual system's /dev/sda

abstract cargo
#

I know its like that

silent turtle
#

Why do you get surprised?

@abstract cargo i know there might be a particular reason you know you absolutely need Android-x86 virtual machine in QEMU to run an ARM Android app, but just in case there isn't or your current strategy doesn't end up working, I'd like you to be aware of the existence of other potential options, such as my personal favorite redroid https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc

Just, mount the hard disk, decompress the android filesystem in there, qemu chroot into the mounted hard disk and install grub or whatever bootloader It may include from the chroot

Choosing fat32 made it work anyway
