This release fixes a bug in the GPS widget which caused the map to appear blank.
Release Notes
- Genymotion Desktop
If you are upgrading from 3.1.1 beta 1, almost nothing has changed. If you are upgrading from 3.1.0, here is what’s new:
- Windows: VirtualBox 6.1 support on Windows 10. Problems with VirtualBox 6.1 host-only interfaces on Windows have been fixed.
- Windows: virtual device screens appeared cropped in the top-left corner on high-dpi monitors on Windows. Now fixed. This correction was not in beta 1.
- Linux: new devices are now configured to use PulseAudio, improving sound support.
- Mac: mouse wheel on high-precision touchpads (Macbook touchpads, Magic Mouse) no longer causes super-fast and jittery scrolling.
- Genyshell: The “rotation setangle” Genyshell command behavior fixed. Now the display rotates whenever the accelerometer value changes, as expected. Also applies to the remote-control feature.
- Global: heterogeneous-density multi-screen setups: rotating the device would cause the display to be zoomed.
- Global: it is now possible to use Genymotion Desktop behind a SOCKS5 proxy support.
- Genymotion Desktop, Genymotion SaaS (Cloud)
New Genymotion Virtual Devices version 2.16 for Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion Cloud SaaS have been released.

- Genymotion Desktop
Genymotion Desktop now supports VirtualBox 6.1 on Windows. This was a long-standing issue but a workaround for the problems we encountered with VirtualBox 6.1 host-only interfaces on Windows has been found.
We also fixed an issue with heterogeneous-density multi-screen setups: rotating the device would cause the display to be zoomed.
On Linux, new devices are now configured to use PulseAudio, improving sound support.
Using the mouse wheel on high-precision touchpads such as Macbook touchpads or Magic Mouse no longer causes super-fast and jittery scrolling.
The “rotation setangle” Genyshell command behavior was surprising: the new accelerometer value was correctly sent but the display would not rotate. Now the display rotates whenever the accelerometer value changes, as you would expect. This also applies to the remote-control feature.
Finally, we added support for Socks5 proxies.
