Running in emulator

MarSOnEarth

I could use some hand holding. I've built GOS for sdk_phone64_x86_64-cur-userdebug in WSL. After the build, I've moved the ./out/target/product/emu64x to
$HOME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\system-images\android-36\grapheneos\emu64x but Android Studio (AS) Device Manager does not recognize that folder when I try to create a virtual device for it. That's where I am stuck now.

I tried to move the emu64x folder around the AS's folder structure to no avail, neither it helped to rename it to x86_64.

So, how to get the emulator going for GOS?

Thanks

MarSOnEarth After manually creating AVD ini file pointing to the GOS files AS complaints about missing system image (all *.img files are there) with the message "Missing system image for null GOS"

My AVD ini file looks like this (yes, I moved the files)
avd.ini.encoding=UTF-8
path=C:\Users\MarS\.android\avd\GOS.avd
path.rel=avd\GrapheneOs.avd
`target=android-36'

So, still no joy.

MarSOnEarth did you properly set up source.properties and folder structure? I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert here, but that's a vital step AFAIK. mostly commenting in hopes it draws attention from people who are better versed in this. Best of luck though.

Thanks. I've been trying different configurations. Now, GOS output files from out/target/product/emu64x/ are in $HOME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\system-images\android-34\default\x86_64 and the system.properties contains:
Pkg.Desc=Android SDK Platform 34
Pkg.Revision=1
Platform.Version=34
Platform.api.level=34

MarSOnEarth It might be worth double checking that you’ve got the file named source.properties and not system.properties and that it has the right keys so studio recognizes it as a system image. it seems like it might be reading it as a platform package instead of a system image. I'm completely out of my League here though so grain of salt and all that. I've tinkered with studio but not like this lol.

re: system.properties ; it's a typo. the file name is source.properties. What 'keys' are you referring to? Maybe we can figure this out ourselves. ;-)

Here's a data point: when I made the avd file manually, AS was complaining about system.img missing (which is there).

MarSOnEarth good to know, I was referring to the keys inside source.properties, basically the lines that tell studio it's a system image. Basically the lines like "AndroidVersion.ApiLevel=34, SystemImage.Abi=x86_64, SystemImage.TagId=default, and Pkg.Path=system-images;android-34;default;x86_64." If those don’t match what studio expects, it’ll see the files but still complain about system.img missing. so theoretically you'll want to tweak those and restart studio to see if it picks up the image after any necessary changes are made.

MarSOnEarth

Still no change, but thanks for stepping up to help. Much appreciated.

MarSOnEarth that's too bad, but you're welcome. It was worth a shot. Hopefully someone else more qualified than my sleep deprived self shows up later lol.
