I'm trying to increase a Genymotion 2.3 emulator in order to test my app. Is there any way to accomplish this? I can't find a way to configure the emulator.

This post mentions how to do it. But I don't know how or what or where the root shell is to execute that command or to change those values. They are not present in the build.prop files that are in the system-images folder. Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks

To increase heap size in Genymotion, please do the following -

  1. Open your terminal and write adb shell.
  2. Type su
  3. Type mount -o remount,rw /system
  4. Type vi /system/build.prop
  5. Change dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m to your liking. Here 256m is 256mb
  6. Restart Genymotion

I don't think you need to increase the genymotion heap size. Do you mean you want to increase the size of the virtual device memory? You can do this in the virtual device settings. You can find them in the dialog where you start the devices from.

  • I did mean to say MEMORY HEAP SIZE no size of the virtual device memory. About the mac, it was a typo. – KinGPinG Oct 15 '14 at 19:02
  • Genymotion is a native mac app, not java. So the OS manages the memory for it. I don't think there is anything that you can do to increase it, I don't even think that there is a memory limit. It will just start to swap it out to the disk at some point. – SimonSays Oct 15 '14 at 21:39
