Hi, please note that Alex's guide was created just before Android-x86 Oreo was released. If you change 'repo init -u git://git.osdn.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest -b android-x86-7.1-r2' to 'repo init -u git://git.osdn.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest -b oreo-x86', you'll have no mouse issues. Just rememeber not to do Alex's steps on fixing the mouse if you do, as you'll just recreate the mouse problem. When you rebooted the appvm, and shut down the builder VM, the iso should have detached from the android appvm. Reboot Qubes if it hasn't. I've been changing resolution by affixing 'vga=(desired resolution code)' to the end of the kernel. You can type vga=ask to get a list of resolution codes. You do this by pressing 'e' when you get the boot options, and then 'e' again. It will look something like 'kernel /android-2019-02-18/kernelvga=ask quiet etc, etc'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
