Hello,

Is there any way to use the mousewheel for zooming in Virtual-Box ?
(I know this is a kind of "luxury-problem", however it would be fine if someone have managed this.... ;-) )

and another question.
I have a shared folder in a virtual box running androVM_vbox86tp_4.1.1_r6.1-20130222-gapps-houdini-flash.
But how can I use this shared folder with Locus? Locus doesn´t see this folder. I want at least to interchange some files from PC to the VM.

Any hints are welcome.
Regards J.

Hi Jusc,

I'm exactly on the same config and use the TotalCommander to copy files back and forth to the shared folder - in fact I have two of them
one for the mapfiles
one for the themes
The shared folder is direct in /mnt so maybe Locus can't see this
(hmm I suppose this area is only visible for root-apps, however I'm no expert with Linux...)

Hi

As you guys, I'd like to run Locus on my PC.

I am more a VMWare user than VirtualBox and I am a bit confused by what I find on androvm.org.
It looks like they recently changed to a commercial company but apparently they also changed the VM engine to something called Genymotion software. Is that correct ?
Does it means it is no more possible to run AndroVM under VMWare Player ?

As I would like to avoid installing VirtualBox in // of VMWare, I would appreciate any advice.

EDIT : And what about Android-x86.org ? Is it a good alternative ?

Thanks in advance.

best regards

FYI, with KitKat you can record screen video with ADB SHELL SCREENRECORD. I do not believe it needs root.

I use free version of Bluestack and it works great with the sharefolder.

@menion
is there a list of all keyboard key functions?
eg
Enter = main menu
Ecs = back
up, down, left, right key = move map
...

Menion

Hmm I think such list is nowhere wrote, but you may try:

arrow keys - movement of map
G - turn on/off GPS
D - turn on/off screen
C - turn on/off centering
R - turn on/off map rotation
volume up/down - zooming

seems, it works different - depends on VM, OS and/or keyboard layout

Ecs = back
Pos 1 = home button
Menu key = open search function
F1 = open main menu
F10 = open main menu
F3 = calling App (not installed here - so unknown)
Arrow keys - movement of map
...

anyway - thx for answer - it's not really importand.

Menion

well keys your wrote seems to be mainly some "simulation" of common hardware keys on real devices, like "home", "menu", "back". So it works as you wrote because it's common app behavior. I wrote about extra keys that Locus has registered and that may be used for control of app.

QuoteHow to get PC files to a Genymotion virtual?
The only but also the most user-friendly way is utilization of an ADB plugin

= false information !
An other and most user-friendly way is to set an shared folder inside VB and use it in the GenymotionVM and on your PC.

You can also drag and drop from the PC into the Genymotion window, which is equivalent to downloading to the Android.
