Emulate Android on PC

If you want to run your Android apps on a PC, you can !

Just use Genymotion : that's an emulator using VirtualBox ... so it runs on Windows (like Bluestack) but also on Linux.

If you want to use Google Apps, you need to install them as extra.

Unfortunately, the  Gapps site (goo.im) is not longer available, you have to go to TeamAndroid or BasketBuild.

For more, read  instructions on 4teq ...to play Clash Of Clans, but that works for any Android application.
There's also a popular thread on xda developers .

Happy Android on Linux !
