Doesn't recognize AVD root #72

Closed James-E-A closed 7 years ago

James-E-A commented 7 years ago

When running on an AVD device with a functional root:

generic_x86_64:/ # ls -l `which su`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 10344 2016-11-14 16:09 /system/xbin/su
generic_x86_64:/ #

I still get this, even after a reboot: Your device needs to be rooted in order to activate

why would you run this on AVD? AVD has no recovery to run the script anyhow afaik

James-E-A commented 7 years ago

I'm running it on AVD to try to install opengapps on a virtual Android device, so that I can use the Google Play Store...? Same reason as anyone

(Specifically, I want to be able to check, DM on, and post on Instagram, but I have neither an Android device with sufficient space nor a Windows installation currently available to me.)

AVD does not have a recovery, so Open GApps can't help you.

You can use GenyMotion though, they support recovery-installable scripts.

James-E-A commented 7 years ago

@mfonville Is there any way, at all, to put Open GApps on an AVD image?

Genymotion requires registration.

mfonville commented 7 years ago

@JamesTheAwesomeDude manually copying the files yourself. Genymotion is for free for personal use, registration itself should not pose a problem. Anyhow, what you want is out of the scope for Open GApps itself, and thus also not part of the scope of the app
