It would take 40GB of disk space, downloading 10GB+ of source code, and a lot of time to build, though. But it would only have to be done every-so-often. Bonus points if it could be somehow made persistent to take updates, or at the very least, some persistence in order to keep installed apps around in between sessions. I did try to compile my own Android-x86 image a few weeks ago, and I even managed to get it to install, but I encountered the exact same mouse sync issues that everyone else did, and it no longer worked after the first reboot. I don't know what makes Anbox's image different, but I wonder if it would be possible to replace their .img file with one from Android-x86 or even Remix OS. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
