Blue LDPlayer

[Snailsoft]

LDPlayer is an Android emulator designed with the intent to play games.
It is fast and works well... far better than Bluestacks. It is based on VMware.
However, it is plagued with ads and adware.

Blue LDPlayer is a heavily modded version of LDPlayer. It removes the garbage and improves upon the emulator.

My mod adds a number of additional tweaks, replaces the launcher, and makes the whole thing portable. Unfortunately, I am on a cellphone and while I have decent download rates I am at nearly dialup speeds for uploading.

As I can't post my version here, I figured the least I can do is post a link to the Blue mod.

Big Nox is to Nox what Blue LDplayer is to LDplayer.

I have checked it out.
Both LDplayer and Nox use the same VMware Android vmdk.

Both use the same GUI.

LDplayer uses a stable and well tested Android 9.

Nox uses an experimental Android 12 prone to crashing.

Nox and BigNox have all the ad's and malware found in LDplayer (removed in Blue).

Many people have reported RAM leakage and endless hard-drive expansion due to bugs and constantly downloaded ad's.

 

[Snailsoft]

MuMu Player 12 is a cross between Blue LDplayer and BigNox.

It removes most of the ad's but uses the unstable Android 12.

Many users report that it runs apps and games that neither LDplayer nor Nox support, however, it tends to crash after a while.

 

[Snailsoft]

Bluestacks is the only Android emulator for PC that supports Android 15.

However, it is for development use, not gaming.
It is bloated and very slow.
It also subject to all of Googles restrictions.

Another note about MuMu is that it uses a downloader that is a 7z executable.
It installs Nemu, a Cloud based hypervisor.
In theory this allows computers without the hardware to run the emulator at the cost of massive bandwidth.
In practice it is being used for ad services distribution similar to torrent and potentially spying on the user. Even after uninstalling MuMu, Nemu remains in the system.

The downloader can be extracted and the 614MB installer downloaded manually.

As with anything that appeals to users, never forget that China is the sworn enemy of Freedom and anything that they offer must be heavily scrutinized.
As MuMu and Nox are based on LDplayer and all 3 projects maintained by Chinese groups, be warned.

Blue LDplayer is still my recommendation as it is cleaned up and stable.

Unless you absolutely need Android 12 support and are prepared for the bugs and you know how to handle Spyware and Adware, I'd avoid the rest.

FYI, I have sandbox versions of Nox and MuMu that I used for testing and MuMu pounds the networking.
Turns out that MuMu also added silently services for Oracle VM with custom network drivers.

So, both the downloader and installer add Spyware and Adware.

 

[Snailsoft]

Doh! Just realized that the stupid spell checker replaced MeMu with Mumu (a type of dress). As I am unable to edit my own posts, I note it here.

That aside, I have taken several days to work on a project.
I said to myself, why can't I have a stable Android 12 emulator without the Adware and Spyware?
These emulators are all based on the same VMware core.

So I created a stripped down Win10 VM and set out to accomplish this goal.
I used the Nox core.
After days of work I successfully completed a Android 12 installation, applied most of the patches from Blue LDplayer, upgraded the beta to a stable version, ADB removed all the Adware and Spyware, installed NOVA and some t007z.
I enabled ROOT so that apps like Gameguardian and Lucky Patcher can take full advantage.

As VMware is now free for private use, one only needs to install VMware, download the Android 12 VM, and load it up.

To that end, I am working on uploading the VM.
Unfortunately, I am on a cellphone with poor uploading rates. This will take a few days.
I will update this thread when the files are ready.

very very WOW
looks great - will test it

there are minimum system requirements suggested ?

 

[Snailsoft]

I'm running it on an AMD Ryzen 7 using 16GB RAM.
The reason for my using a VM is to create a security barrier for the host OS as I was dealing with removing Adware and Spyware, and to insure portability.

However, it is possible to transfer the emulator directly to PC

Upload has slowed down so ETA is longer.
I will notify when ready.

Snailsoft:
@Sbenny Recently members have been reporting that they can no longer download files over 1GB...

Sbenny:
@Snailsoft, I verified and confirmed this issue as well, but I wasn't unable to find the culprit. I still managed to provide a quick fix for those files though, but I need to do a manual action on every reported file, so the best thing, till I fix it globally, is to report each file to me so I can manually apply this fix.

#ThreadSticked

Very nice job, thank you Snailsoft & Dwen!

 

[Snailsoft]

I have added some new tools, and updated others.
With my current configuration, I can easily switch between Android, Windows, and now Debian Linux.
I have added Frida and APKid to Debian, but it is unstable at this time and prone to crashing. I am going to try out the forked Termux 119 build for newer devices (used to run Linux).

Many thanks to @Dwen for uploading the Android 12 emulator and supporting files.

All of these files fail to download at exactly the 1GB mark. "Network error". I've tried multiple VPN locations. Has anyone else had any luck downloading these?

@Snailsoft Thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I need. Looking forward to trying it.

 

[porsoli]

@Snailsoft : Hello there. Do you have any plans to reupload this in sub 1gig file sizes? I'd be happy to assist and/or pay for unlock.

Thank you for your consideration.

 

[Snailsoft]

@porsoli Please be patient
I must wait for @Sbenny to respond to the 1GB limit issue first.

There are many games over 1GB here and others are complaining that those are also getting cut off at 1GB.
I'm only a modder, not a Sysop here.

If the limit remains imposed then I will upload smaller pieces.

Meanwhile, I am working on an Android on Android project that works much like this Android on Windows project.

 

[porsoli]

Sounds great. Thank you for the update.

 

[Sbenny]

Please try again and let me know, there's an issue with some files for some reason, I'm still investigating. If it happens again, please send me a PM, thanks

 

[porsoli]

It worked! Thanks a heap!
