NOTE: Easier way is the X86 way, described on https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#google-play-services | |
Download the following ZIPs: | |
ARM Translation Installer v1.1 (http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0ZIO8PME/Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip_links) | |
Download the correct GApps for your Android version: | |
Google Apps for Android 6.0 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347835438 - benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 5.1 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891406 - gapps-L-4-21-15.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 5.0 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 - gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 4.4.4 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358544845 - gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 4.3 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000124 - gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 4.2 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000128 - gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 4.1 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399755082 - gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) | |
Google Apps for Android 2.3.7 (http://www.mediafire.com/download/bs063kb0m742o5l/gapps-gb-20131027-signed.zip - gapps-gb-20131027-signe.zip) | |
Note: Genymotion must be set to use it's own ADB (Settings -> ADB -> Use Genymotion Android tools) | |
Next Open your Genymotion VM and go to the Homescreen | |
Now Drag&Drop the Genymotion-ARM-Translation.zip onto the Genymotion VM window. | |
It should say "File transfer in progress", once it asks you to flash it click 'OK' | |
Now Reboot your VM using ADB. If nescessary you can simply close the VM window, not recommended | |
Once you're on the Homescreen again Drag&Drop the gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip (or whatever version you got) onto your VM, and click 'OK' when asked | |
Once it finishes, again Reboot your VM and open the Google Play Store. | |
Sign in using your Google account | |
Once in the Store go to the 'My Apps' menu and let everything update (fixes a lot of issues), also try updating Google Play Services directly (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms). | |
You can also search for Google Maps, update it manually (press update or install button) and you will receive the message to update Google Play Services | |
(For Android 4.4.4 and 5.0 is posible you need to reboot several times before updates are shown) | |
Now try searching for apps in Google Play and if you can find and install for example 'Netflix' or 'Google Drive' then congrats you now have ARM support and Google Play fully setup! |

I keep getting this error when I drag and drop the gapps file: Ooops, something went wrong while flashing gapps-kk-20140105-signed (1).zip. I am pretty sure I am installing the right one. How does one know if you're installing the right gapps file for the software you're using? I am installing this gapps file mentioned above in the error with KitKat 4.4.2 on Samsung Galaxy S3. Also does adb reboot mean just quit genymotion and launch again? If not, what else is it? |

Updated the 4.4.2 gApps, tested it multiple times and works (you may need to restart multiple times). @sjasif Reboot can be a quit or type adb reboot in the terminal |

Not able to drag & drop anything to the device, when I attempt to drag the ARM or the gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip files to the device, the mouse changes to the black circle with a line through it and nothing happens. Have attempted with different devices and dragging the file from multiple locations, even tried to download the files directly to the device instead of using the drag/drop method. Nothing seems to work, could it be due to Windows8.1? Genymotion version is latest available on the official site. |

I wasted hours on this, trying to set up for M (6.0 API.23) on Genymotion, but gave up, and instead used the Android stock emulator Nexus 5 API 23, which has Google Play Services already installed and ready to roll. I then carefully followed the instructions at "http://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0.html", and used adb.exe in a CMD shell to issue "adb -e emu finger touch 1" to (1) register a fingerprint, and (2) emulate a fingerprint touch using the Fingerprint example at "https://github.com/googlesamples/android-FingerprintDialog'. To my great surprise.... EVERYTHING worked perfectly. :-) |

The 6.0 Gapps are crashing because they don't have the right permissions. This (TeamExodus/frameworks_base@9c36be6) has to be integrated to Genymotion Android 6.0 images. Unfortunately I tried also flash 5.1 Gapps to Android 6.0 images with partially success. After update Google Play Services, they stopped to work and crashing all time. |

Okay, I tried all of the suggestions and nothing worked so I just went through and disabled Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Somehow this setup the factory version of everything Google related and allowed me to go back and reenable everything which fixed the Google Play Services crashes and allowed me to run the setup wizard without crashing. Hopefully this helps someone else save some time. This was after installing L-4-21-15.zip and before switching to benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip. |

@hardik-d In platform 6.0 after installing **Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip ** you have to install gapps-L-4-21-15.zip (ignore crashes) sign in to your google account and then install benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip . Reboot where ever necessary. It seems like benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip lacks the ability to sign in properly and hence the above methods is required as detailed by @esantiago1 & @arcao . |

The common solution of creating a shared folder in virtual box and having it auto mount doesn't work. API LEVEL If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

For those who experienced problems with ARM Translation on Lollipop (Android 5.X), use the updated version from http://23pin.logdown.com/posts/294446-genymotion-use-arm-translation-on-5x-image (hosted on Mega : https://mega.nz/#!Mt8kyBxa!iVJYC7eI7ruLVoaarWIa85QOm_VlH53G0knVGpoSlAE ). For me, it resolve errors seen (with 'adb logcat') when app crash : 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to load native library: /data/app/xxxxxxxxxx/lib/arm/libmain.so'.

It seems that Genymotion 2.8.1 has changed to only use x86 emulator images (possibly explained here) . Thus, like @amaels referenced in genymotion.com/faq/#google-play-services, now we only need to use x86 architecture of OpenGapps instead of other architectures and the arm translator. |

The original gist instructions are totally outdated.You need special arm translators for Android 5.x and 6.x. And there is none for 7.x. Here are the tools you need (as of April 2017): http://23pin.logdown.com/posts/697026 5.x translator, 6.x translator, google apps installers, and supersu for rooting. Edit: I cannot get them to run certain apps reliably... The only reliable setup I have found is to go back to Android 4.3 (on Genymotion 2.8.1) with the old school ARM Translator v1.1. Everything from Android 4.4 and up is just garbage when it comes to ARM emulation. |
