Ubuntu 18.04: You can choose any operating system.However, the persistence of the rooting procedure may / may not be there in subsequent restarts, and I’ll explain to have a persistent, rooted AVD at your disposal. Most of the resources that I used and the steps that I’ll be performing for Android AVD rooting have been taken from. I’m skipping the explanation of the same, since it is an easy process and there are plenty other blogs that explain it. Installation process of Android Studio remains identical across all flavours of Linux, except few minor differences. It should look something like this in VMWare To have that enabled, you need to make sure to enable Intel VT-x support in your virtualization application, otherwise, you cannot run Genymotion / Android Studio in a VM.
You can run the same in a virtual machine, provided your virtual machine supports nested virtualization. Seeing Genymotion rooted AVD made me think if it was possible to root AVD in Android Studio in Ubuntu, and that was the motivation behind creation of this blog.ĭisclaimer: For this post, I’m using Ubuntu OS ver. While Genymotion is the most favored emulator the community prefers, Android Studio does not come with a pre-rooted Android Virtual Device (AVD). Unlike a physical device, you can create a device to your liking and desired test cases, varying RAM and storage, varying operating systems, and architectural styles of these android devices. To avoid issues like these, it is recommended to have a virtual device. A bricked device essentially means that the device will not function at all, unless remediating measures are taken, i.e., flashing Android ROM (which in my experience is very tedious process, which may or may not yield desired results). The disadvantage of going for a physical device is the cost it incurs, the malfunctioning you may cause when rooting the device if a step goes wrong, or worse, leaving your device non-functional / bricked. They either rely on a physical device, or a virtual device. For a security enthusiast, a rooted android device is essential to perform dynamic assessments of android applications.
