The Genymotion product is a Virtual Android Environment built on x86 and Virtualbox environment. The good news is there is free version so that we can use it for testing Android environment as develop program or deploy system.
How to do it?
At first, we have to prepare the following prerequisites
(1). Java
By default, the java package has already been install after install Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop Graphic environment.
(2). Android SDKDownload and extract Android SDK on the personal computer.
(3). VirtualBoxTo check the repository and install it if we never have the VirtualBox package.
(4). CPU virtualization (VT-X on Intel processors and AMD-V on AMD processors) is enabledAfter the above process is confirmed, we will begin to prepare the related action as follows:
Download Genymotion Source
For downloading source(free) from GenyMotion Web Site https://cloud.genymotion.com
,we have to firstly login if there is the existing account or sign up if never exist one before.
This is my first time come here so that will create the new account by using the sign up form.
After the registration finish, the Genymotion system will send out a verification mail to my registered email.
If we got the mail next to press Click here hyperlink,
the registered account will be activated so that it can download any source now.
That is to select the right package according to the system as Ubuntu x64 next to download and save it on the favorite location.
Install and Launch GenymotionAfter the download process is finished, we have to enable Allow executing file as Program on the terminal by using the chmod +x ./genymotion-2.2.0_x64.bin command
To install the Genymotion software into the specified path as /opt by using the sudo ./genymotion-2.2.0_x64.bin -d /opt command

Once the process is completed, the android phone will boot up normally.
Due to the license issue, the ARM Translation and Google Play Apps is not available in this Genymotion emulator by default. So that we have to download some files as ARM Translation Installer and the correct Google Apps version from Google Apps (# 1)
Once the download is completed, we will drag & drop these files into the emulator.
At first, we will drag & drop Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip into the Genymotion VM.
After “File transfer in progress” finish, it will ask us whether want to flash it on Genymotion. To click OK button to go ahead.
Once this file has been flashed successfully, we need to reboot the virtual device right now.
Although we have already requested this VM to reboot, it still need to do it manually by using the adb reboot command. Otherwise, the flash process will fail if directly close the VM window, not do the command!
Once the HomeScreen show up, please drag & drop the right version as gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip into the Genymotion VM again.
To click OK button to flash this virtual device.
To click OK button to reboot it.
Of course, we also need to do the adb reboot command for rebooting this VM.
If we log on the VM again, the Welcome screen will show up so that the above flash will be successful.
