LeapDroid, finally a practical Android on PC

I have tried many Android emulators, but none of them could play TV Plus 2.0 - the best way for watching Chinese TV. This problem is now solved by LeapDroid, now I can watch TV on any one of my monitors, Windowed or full screen. CPU usage is only 50% or so while watching HD TV.

By default, there are two virtual machines installed to  "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Leapdroid\VMs". You may delete one of them to save about 500-800 MB space. The install file, LeapdroidVMInstaller.exe, is copied to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Leapdroid"; you may delete this file to save another 200MB.





[update] By default it uses too much RAM, so I modified the following line in \Documents\LeapDroid\VMs\vm1.vbox

Memory RAMSize="512" PageFusion="false"

    这个介绍不错。LeapDroid + 电视家 很流畅。有没有可以看CCTV-5的应用？

      电视家里不就有吗？最近就是用电视家看的欧洲杯，当时用的DuOS，电视家只能用随身版，换台麻烦还经常卡死，很不爽。过几天看奥运不用发愁了。

      如果非要用其它apps的话，据说云图不错。

      电视家里CCTV-5被拿掉了，只有CCTV-5+. 我也是在准备看奥运。

      If the apk file name contains space and other symbols, it won't work.

    It does. If it doesn't, you may use the adb method as explained by LeapDroid.
