This page aims to give details to use an /e/OS OS Emulator.

Download

  1. Install Android Studio from https://developer.android.com/studio
  2. Download the emulator image from https://images.ecloud.global/dev/sdk_phone_x86_64/

Extract the emulator image

Extract the emulator archive into the following directory:

SDK_PATH/system-images/android-33/lineage/

with SDK_PATH corresponding to your Android SDK path (i.e. $ANDROID_HOME)

Tip: We use android-33 as the current emulator runs Android 13

Once you extracted the archive, you will end up with something like this:

$ ls ~/Android/Sdk/system-images/android-30/lineage/x86
advancedFeatures.ini  build.prop  data  encryptionkey.img  kernel-ranchu-64  NOTICE.txt  package.xml  ramdisk.img  source.properties  system.img  userdata.img  vendor.img  VerifiedBootParams.textproto

  1. Open the AVD Manager with the icon located at the top right of the screen
  2. Click on Create Virtual Device
  3. Select the Nexus 5X phone entry for instance and click Next
  4. In the x86 Images tab, select the LineageOS corresponding to your version of Android API and click Next
  5. Name your AVD device /e/OS and click Finish
