Mac, Windows and AAE Remote are all at 0.6.1 again. Windows and AAE Remote skipped 0.6.0, so their changes since 0.5.1 are listed here too.

Device hardware

  • Memory, processor cores and storage can be chosen when creating a device: New Device on Mac and Windows, New Device in AAE Remote, aae create --memory --cores --storage, and the MCP create_device tool. An empty field keeps AAE's default. Values are checked before an Android version downloads.
  • New devices with Google Play get 16 GB of storage; others keep 6 GB. Google Play filled most of 8 GB once it updated its apps.
  • Storage changes and wipes: memory and cores apply at the next start. More storage applies at the next start on older Android versions, but on versions with encrypted storage, such as Android 16, only after a wipe; less storage always needs a wipe. Hardware and aae hardware now say when.

Fixes

  • Android 5 and 6 devices: apps install (adb install -g isn't supported there), and setup completes: the full keyboard, audio check, speech check, services list and language setting work. AAE's helper is 0.31.0. An app too new for the device gets a plain error naming the device's Android version.
  • Starting a device, from Windows users' reports:
    • AAE creates the emulator's .android folder when it's missing.
    • Starting stops at once when hardware acceleration is missing, with how to turn it on.
    • When the emulator's control service doesn't answer, the error names the port and the reason.
  • AAE Remote's keyboard mode types the characters the phone's keyboard layout typed.

Mac only

  • Googlebook devices: the first speech after a start is no longer lost. Android Versions and aae remove-image --googlebook list and delete Googlebook OS.
  • Googlebook devices arrived in 0.6.0; see that release.

Installing

  • Mac: AAE-0.6.1.dmg, or Check for Updates in the AAE menu. First open: System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway.
  • Windows: AAE-0.6.1-windows-x64-setup.exe, or Help, Check for Updates. SmartScreen: More info, Run anyway.
  • Android: AAE-Remote-0.6.1.apk, or Check for Updates in AAE Remote. Play Protect: More details, Install anyway.

AAE Remote's new hardware fields need AAE 0.6.1 on the computer.
