Android Emulator? Andy/AMIDuOS
Hey all - is anyone using an Android emulator on Windows 10? I've just sold my Android tablet (to get a windows 2 in 1 - Dell 7350), and will miss the 'plain reading' mode of the app (though ready to get all my resources and searches! yay!)
So, is anyone using an android emulator to get the android app? I'm guessing since we have heard nada about the win10 app....
Thanks

I'm running the Lollipop version of AMIDuOS on my SP3 i3. It works surprisingly well. My Surface does not have enough storage to load and index my resources, so until Faithlife releases a UWP app or lets us selectively download our library with the full app (really - not yet?), it looks like the best I can do is emulate Android. It's galling, but it works - I recommend giving it a try if you're on a tablet with small storage.
You might take a look at Genymotion: https://www.genymotion.com .
Wowzer, that's expensive! For someone using it for one app anyhow...
I tried Andy (not bad - but way too slow too boot and way too many resources to leave running), and amiduos (couldn't get it working - seems their servers have a problem, their forums full of complaints). Oh well, worth the try!
Some people are reporting success with chrome browser as a platform for running the Logos android app using ARC Welder... try searching the forums here for it.

I'll give it a go when Chrome starts working again - thanks! (Chrome gets random no internet - everything else works - and i've been an IT guy for 25 years!!)
The Chrome Browser (that I'm using right now on my iMac to type this) is different than a Chrome Book that requires using something like the ARC Welder to run our Android apps.
Genymotion runs on both Windows and OS X, is free, and can run thousand of Android apps.
Genymotion is free for personal use and works with at least a million apps. Did you download it and try it out?

I must have missed that - it only offered me $12 a month... I'll look again!
