Installing Google play/Chrome browser on genymotion

I wanted to use Chrome on android emulator so I installed GenyMotion.

I installed the latest version 2.0.3 and downloaded "Nexus 7 - 4.2.2" ROM.

I followed the folowing links How do you install Google frameworks (Play, Accounts, etc.) on a Genymotion virtual device?

But neither drag n drop is working nor I am able to install the Google Appz from within the emulator. http://blog.zeezonline.com/2013/11/install-google-play-on-genymotion-2-0/

After downloading "gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip" and when the I select the file within emulator it comes with "There is no app registered to handle the type of file selected"

When I try to drag and drop the file from my PC to Oracle VM running ROM it is just not working. File is not dropping I referred the following link as well Genymotion 2.0 "drag and drop"


This is what worked for me:

  • install the libhoudini mentioned in this guide: [GUIDE] Genymotion | Installing ARM Translation and GApps[Updated Nov.16] I experienced the DnD issue as well, read below for how I worked around it I did not install the GAPPs zip. It's not needed and causes a lot of crash notifications.
  • Extract up-to-date Chrome APK from my actual android device. APK's for installed apps can be found in /data/app (but this my require root) or you could use a back-up solution to extract it.
  • Install the obtained APK by also DnD'ing it into the home screen, it will automatically install. ... And it worked.
  • As for the DnD issue, in my case the cause appeared to be that I was running Genymotion 'as administrator' (Why? Complicated: Because I have an unrelated virtualBox machine using a native disk image, which requires me to start virtualbox in privileged mode, which will crash Genymotion if it's not also running in privileged mode). However when I started GenyMotion not 'as admin' the dnd issue did not appear. If this is not the issue in your case I think you can still get the stuff installed without DnD support:

  • First get the files on your image in some way, use your imagination (or any file sharing web service)
  • Also get an APK for a decent file explorer with ZIP and root support. I use ES file explorer and my instructions will be based in it. I suggest, as for Chrome itself, to install it on your actual phone first and then grab the APK.
  • Install the file explorer, start it and become root (ES crashed the first couple of times in my case, but after some tries it worked)
  • make sure /system is mounted as r/w. in ES, use menu->root explorer->mount R/W, put /system on RW
  • Locate the Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip, browse into it, select (long press) 'system' folder, extract to, 'choose path', point to /. The Zip will now be 'installed'
  • Go back to root explorer options, put /system back to RO
  • Reboot the emulator (in my case it crashed both on shutdown and first boot; I just closed the emulator after a few minutes and tried again. Then it worked)
  • Now you should be able to install the Chrome APK
