There are many apps in Android that can run or emulate other operating systems, via utilizing hardware support for platform virtualization technologies, or via terminal emulation. Some of these apps support having more than one emulation/virtual file system for different OS profiles, thus the ability to have or run multiple OS's.
touchHLE is a high-level emulator for iPhone's iOS applications, [2] targeting early versions of the system, running them on desktop PCs and Android. [3] [4] Currently it supports a handful of games. [5] The project is open source [6] and created by a developer on the nickname hikari_no_yume. [7]
The majority of these limitations can be bypassed by rooting the Android device. However, utilizing Linux via utilizing an emulator or virtualization app would be redundant at that point as one could turn the device itself into a Linux environment. [15]
^ OS-level virtualization is described as "native" speed, however some groups have found overhead as high as 3% for some operations, but generally figures come under 1%, so long as secondary effects do not appear. ^ See [20] for a paper comparing performance of paravirtualization approaches (e.g. Xen) with OS-level virtualization
Android Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, in October 2003 by Andy Rubin and Chris White, with Rich Miner and Nick Sears [13] [14] joining later. Rubin and White started out to build an Operating System for digital cameras viz FotoFrame. The company name was changed to Android as Rubin already owned the domain name android.com.
Citra is a discontinued [5] free and open-source game console emulator of the handheld system Nintendo 3DS for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Citra's name is derived from CTR, which is the model name of the original 3DS. [1] Citra can run many homebrew games and commercial games. [6] Citra was first made available in 2014.
In 2008, the mobile industry became interested in using the benefits of virtualization technology for cell phones and other devices like tablets, netbooks and machine-to-machine (M2M) modules. [1] With mobile virtualization, mobile devices can be manufactured more cheaply through the re-use of software and hardware, which shortens development time.
A mobile simulator is a software application for a personal computer which creates a virtual machine version of a mobile device, [1] such as a mobile phone, iPhone, other smartphone, or calculator, on the computer. This may sometimes also be termed an emulator.
