Shot Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 or a similar/better program to run Android apps on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clendenin Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Have been using it for a bit over a month now. Running it on a PC w/ Windows 7. Bluestacks does seem to work, but it is a bit slow and awkward even on what is a fairly high powered computer. Initial setup was tricky but eventually successful. It's worth exploring. Have a go!

BB1950 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ran in on Windows 7. The beta 1 version seems a little buggy. Doesn't want to do fullscreen on a 2nd monitor only on the primary monitor. But worth a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkleton Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 bluestacks works, but it uses a fairly high amount of CPU. Running "tunein" (Internet-Radio) causes 50% CPU load on a 3.2Ghz Dualcore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem there: license and patent stuff.I'll bet they're already paying google for android patents.. Edited November 9, 2013 by JakeBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks guys for all the great info. It’s hard to get an honest review via Google. Too may say it’s better than fire and water. Others say its pure shyt, but no reviews in between. I always get educated and experienced info from this forum. Thanks again Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhiser Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes, Bluestacks works well on Windows x86, but does not work very well on x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesofSmiles Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Bluestacks sucks. I've used it a lot, sucks on great hardware, and is glorified app player with poor support anyway. www.genymotion.com (( you don't need to download the android SDK, even if it appears so )) I use this for personal use, and for testing things for my clients. Lets you make profiles for different devices, all sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalbanana Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 bluestacks works, but it uses a fairly high amount of CPU. Running "tunein" (Internet-Radio) causes 50% CPU load on a 3.2Ghz Dualcore. But one wouldn't run Tunein on an Android emulator when it runs on a PC already?

Turkleton Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 But one wouldn't run Tunein on an Android emulator when it runs on a PC already? Some people would like to test the Bluestacks player, so they're installing well known Android apps.....? Or people who can't find the download link to the PC app/program. Would you be so kind and post the download-link to the PC app? (NOT just the link to the tunein website, where many streams don't load!) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesofSmiles Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 or a similar/better program to run Android apps on PC? I've used bluestacks quite a lot, and don't have many good things to say about it. Genymotion. https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/doc/ http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/software-engineer/speed-up-your-android-development-cycle-with-genymotion/ You don't need to download the SDK after installing, A configuration wizard asking to use ADB connection. Here i try to choose no also can be proceed yes you do have to make an account to download it, it's not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
