6.0 beta virtual devices (October 21st, 2015)

We added a preview support of Android 6.0, also known as Android Marshmallow. Virtual devices available with this version are:

  • Google Nexus 5X;
  • Google Nexus 6P.

We’re working hard on building the final release.

Here’s a list of known issues we’re still working on:

  • Launcher3 may crash when the device starts;
  • The new densities 420dpi and 560dpi cannot be selected in the UI of Genymotion, but the new devices use them anyway;
  • Power button locks the device, but doesn’t darken the screen on Mac OS X;
  • Camera crashes when recording;
  • Identifiers widget doesn’t work yet;
  • Zip archives can be flashed but some hooks might be missing for some packages to work;
  • Hibernation on Mac OS X freezes the device display;
  • SDcard size can’t be changed;
  • “Super user” app missing;
  • “File manager” app missing;
  • Microphone doesn’t work;
  • Most video/audio codecs don’t work.

If you find more, we’ll be happy to hear from you! https://www.genymotion.com/contact

All other Genymotion features run properly. You can now test your apps on Android API level 23, with all new Marshmallow features, such as the new permission system.
