[qubes-users] Re: Install Android-x86 on HVM
I have managed to install by attaching a 2nd HDD to my PC.
in dom0, qvm-pci attach --persistent --option no-strict-reset=true
00:{myPCIsataDev}.0
Everything seems to be working... except for the mouse, of course. Otherwise,
drive-able. When I shut it down and restarted, it did not boot. I will try
again
but Im reinstalling Qubes because 'PVcreate' wouldnt allow me to PV the whole
device (/dev/sda) only partitions. So I will try again later.
I imagine that this could also be done with a pci attach usb controller and
have it installed to a thumb drive.

Im looking into this and Im thinking that if you add a second HDD you can plug Android into the 2nd HDD and install it.

I did a bit of searching on Qubes 4 changes from Qubes 3.2., based on the drive issue you mention, I found this "Flexible VM volume manager (easy to keep VMs on external drives, or in memory-only)" source: https://blog.invisiblethings.org/2017/07/31/qubes-40-rc1.html It's a speculative possible culprit since it involves changes to the virtual drives are handled in VM's. Maybe it can bring forth ideas as to why it won't work. Unfortunately I don't have the insight or skills to look at the details here, but it may be a clue nonetheless. Do you still have a Qubes 3.2. available, i.e. another computer? You could try install Android on Qubes 3.2., then back it up with qvm-backup, and restore it on Qubes 4. In the beginning of early Qubes 4 I solved Win7 that way, worked decently with some slight QWT issues, it might work for Android too especially considering it has no Qubes tools anyhow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yes, I know about this issue, but with the changed vm mouse config from to type='mouse' I can more or less work in the Android even with the mouse acceleration problem. The main reason why I wanted to install Android in Qubes is to use telegram with secret chat so I don't really need the mouse that much. Right now I can't install Android-x86/CM-x86 because android installer can't detect the xen drive. Also the network is not working in Android-x86 Live (tried Android-x86 7/6/4.4 and CM-x86 14.1). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I do not think the mouse behavior issue has ever been able to be addressed. It is mentioned in most of the android attempt threads. There have been numerous requests for actual android auppprt but without fully functional mouse behavior it prevents proper use function. As far as I know it has been an issue in ever successful install of android on qubes but I could be wrong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Could it be because of the kernel is loaded in a similar way to how it for example prevents Windows to install? I'd guess any standalone shares this issue in Qubes 4 and not just Windows.
