Googlebook devices

Mac with Apple silicon only.

  • Googlebook OS (Android 17, desktop) in a QEMU virtual machine. New Device lists it as "Googlebook OS (Android 17), virtual machine"; aae create <name> --googlebook.
  • Installed on first use, into AAE's data folder: AAE's Googlebook components (8 MB), UTM 5.0.6 for its QEMU (300 MB), Google's Cuttlefish image (1.1 GB) and Google's recovery image for the Dell Googlebook (7.6 GB), each checked against a pinned SHA-256; downloads resume. The assembled disk is about 20 GB; each device's disk is a copy-on-write clone of it.
  • Setup, screen reader, AAE's helper, speech log, speech bridge, inspector, apps, keys and gestures work as on emulator devices. Volume, mute and audio output work.
  • Stop shuts Android down; there is no quick-boot snapshot. Start takes about 45 seconds.
  • Not available: snapshots, rotation, folding, battery, location, phone and text messages, fingerprint, shake, microphone, clipboard, hardware changes, export.

Based on gbos-vm by Skylar Taylor-Barrick (MIT). The source of the GPL and LGPL programs in AAE's components is in release googlebook-components-1.
