Guide on Creating ARM64 Android GSI Images for UTM #6777

Open GabrielJuliao opened 2 weeks ago

GabrielJuliao commented 2 weeks ago

Since Android images have been removed from UTM, there should at least be a guide on how to create your own. I looked everywhere, but it seems that everyone is using the x86 version of it with no information whatsoever about how to create an ARM64 image.

The lack of resources on building an ARM64 Android GSI image makes it difficult for users who want to run Android on ARM-based systems using UTM. It would be incredibly helpful to have a comprehensive guide that covers the following aspects:

  1. Prerequisites: Tools and software needed for building the image.
  2. Downloading the Android Source: Steps to obtain the necessary Android files.
  3. Building the GSI Image: Detailed instructions on the build process.
  4. Configuration Settings: Recommended configurations for UTM compatibility.
  5. Testing the Image: How to test the created image in UTM.

If anyone has experience or can contribute to this guide, it would greatly benefit the community. Thank you for considering this request!

They've been removed because Android isn't supported because we don't support GPU acceleration which android requires to do anything useful. Even if you get it working, it is so slow that it's worthless.
