Creating a Android VM from a existing device

Hi

   Not sure if this is the right place. Our organization has  Android presentation screens and are gonna need training. I would like to create a VM of that device to be put on some workstations. Has anybody done this before? I have created Android VMs from a iso, but never from a device. Thanks

Hi,

Are those Android devices using an Arm processor (most likely) or an x86 based processor.

If it is the former then what you want to do is not currently possible.
If it is the latter then it probably won't be easy either, but at least the CPU platform is the same.
For virtualisation you need the same CPU, otherwise we are talking about emulation, not virtualisation.
