Genymotion Desktop Release Notes

Genymotion 2.3.0 (October 7th, 2014)

  • Genymotion Desktop

New features

Network quality emulation

The Network widget allows to select various network profiles (GPRS, Edge, 3G, 4G, etc.) that artificially degrade the quality of service of the virtual device Internet access. It limits the bandwidth, introduces packet losses and increases response times in both up and down ways. This feature is also available from the command line and the Java API.

Only available with Indie and Business licenses.

Corrections

  • Some virtual device download failures have been fixed.
  • License registration issues on the Windows environment have been fixed.

Improvements

  • The logcat file of each virtual device now contains timestamps.
  • On Mac OS X, if the Genymotion main window is accidentally closed, Genymotion can now be launched again even if a virtual device is still running.
  • A new icon set for Genymotion and virtual devices has been integrated.
  • Genymotion wording has been improved.

Genymotion 2.2.2 (June 2nd, 2014)

  • Genymotion Desktop

New features

GPS Settings

The location defined in the GPS widget is now saved and retrieved at the next start.

Only available with Indie and Business licenses.

Corrections

  • When starting a virtual device, a pop-up window could report that it was in an incompatible state. It can now recover and start correctly.
  • Starting and stopping applications in the virtual device could lead to memory leak and heavy memory usage. This issue has been fixed. We are still investigating on memory leaks.
  • Genymotion could crash on Microsoft Windows when some third party security applications were installed. This issue has been fixed.
  • Double-clicking inside a maximized virtual device window does not minimize it anymore.

Improvements

  • We’ve added more information in the log archive to help better diagnose problems.
  • When starting a virtual device, OpenGL initialization problems are more detailed.

Virtual devices

Android 4.x versions

Native applications debugging is fixed.

Android 4.4.2 version
  • The ‘adb reboot’ command did not reboot the virtual device. This problem is fixed.
  • It is now possible to connect to the virtual device adb daemon via multiple network connections (TCP).

Genymotion 2.2.0 (March 31st, 2014)

  • Genymotion Desktop

New features

Genymotion Java API

Developers can now access a Java API that lets them control Genymotion sensors within their application code. This will help you develop unit tests and improve your Android application. It will allow you to keep your source code clean, without complex mocking proxy objects. For more information, refer to the API tab of the Genymotion website.

Only available with Indie and Business licenses.

Virtual device update

We regularly add new features to Genymotion. These new features cannot work on virtual devices created with a previous version of Genymotion. This is why you see an annoying popup when you try to run them from a new Genymotion version. But rejoice! Today is the last day you will have to do it. In this release, we have introduced a wizard that automatically migrates old devices to new ones. So please, for the last time, delete your current virtual devices and create new ones using our new 2.2 Genymotion version. Next time, you will be able to automatically convert them.

Only available with Indie and Business licenses.

Log archive creation

For a faster response from our support team, you can now generate a log archive directly from Genymotion. This log archive contains all the information we need to better identify your problem.

Corrections

  • On Microsoft Windows, stopping a virtual device was not immediate when closing the window, making impossible to start it again for a short period of time. This issue has been fixed.
  • When using OpenGL ES 2.0, some applications encountered progressive slowdown issues. This problem has been fixed.
  • When closing Android applications, some memory leaks could occur. This problem has been fixed.
  • Some textures could be corrupted or swapped in rendering. This problem has been fixed.
  • To avoid false license activation renewal on Microsoft Windows platforms, the license activation process has been modified.
  • When asked to do so, restarting your virtual device from the Remote control widget could lead to usability issues after reboot. This problem has been fixed.
  • When running multiple virtual devices, the drag and drop feature could encounter issues. This problem has been fixed.
  • An ‘incompatible ABI’ installation error occured for some malformed Android applications that do not contain native libraries. This problem has been fixed.

Improvements

  • To avoid Genymotion installation issues, adb daemon now stops when reinstalling Genymotion on Microsoft Windows.
  • Genymotion now warns you when ADB or AAPT binary files are not executable.
  • Error messages regarding connection issues between the Genymotion software and the Genymotion website have been improved.
