Is this available outside of Pixels? I still can't find it on my OnePlus 13 running Android 16 with Jan security updates




The option exists on Samsung phones but is greyed out and crashes if you force it via adb. It is also marked as experimental.

I just tried it on my S25. I can enable the option an open the APK but can't download it because it fails to create the VM because the S25 does not support Non-protected VMs, so I may require a rooted device. I guess I will stick to Termux but interesting feature nonetheless

I believe it relies on some virtualization extensions Google's CPUs have, which most phone SoCs don't support.

It is buggy as hell anyway.
