  3. Unfortunately that is the limitation of the current Android x86 for computer. Not all applications are compatible with it. Recently there is a good hack to run ARM apps like Angry Birds games on Android x86. The details are here. I'm looking forward more Android x86 improvements in future.

  5. Hi,


    I am using the Android-x86 image for tablet with phone capabilities version, the WhatsApp Messenger works without crash but I wasn't allowed to proceed the app's device verification process with an alert message that tablets currently not supported.


    So you can give it a try on vbox86p for phone version and see whether it work. If it doesn't work, I would recommend run WhatsApp on BlueStacks app player.

  8. Solution that worked for me:
    1) install Virtualbox
    2) Download this (Android with Whatsapp included), remove spaces in Link:
    hotfile. com/ dl/ 187397473/ 86846cf/ Android_4.1.1_WhatsApp. ova. html
    3) Doubleclick the downloade file and import into virtualbox
    4) Rum the machine
    5) Select your language in Settings menu
    6) Start Whatsapp in Android
    7) There you go, have fun :)
