On macOS, the file can be found ~/Library/BlueStacks/Android/Android.vbox. Make sure that the emulator is off and turn all disks in VirtualBox configuration file to read-write. We still need to change VirtualBox settings, though.Īdb command can be obtained from Android Studio SDK by Google or it is also found in /Applications/BlueStacks.app/Contents/MacOS/adb. Luckily BlueStacks has left a primitive su binary on the disk image, so we do not need to add this binary to the image ourselves.
It ships with two VirtualBox VDI disk images, Prebundled.bdi and Root.vdi. The emulator is internally using VirtualBox and runs Android 圆4 binaries (64 bit). No Microsoft Windows or BlueStacks Tweaker needed. The instructions work on OSX, Linux and Windows. These instructions require that you understand the UNIX command line basics.
