I need a reproducible way to spin up an x86 Android virtual machine on Ubuntu 22.04, entirely through QEMU and the command line—no virt-manager, no Boxes. My main priority is a fully-functioning virtual handset that reliably runs the latest WhatsApp, completes phone-number verification, and lets me chat with audio and video working. Celadon would be perfect, yet I am open to any other AOSP or Android-x86 build as long as it boots cleanly under QEMU. Hardware acceleration through KVM and virgl/virtio-gpu is strongly preferred for smooth performance. Deliverables • Step-by-step build guide (text/markdown) covering every package to install, how to fetch and configure the chosen image, and how to create the QEMU disk. • Final QEMU command line (or bash script) with all flags explained. • Proof of success: screenshot or short clip showing WhatsApp sending/receiving a message. • Notes on enabling audio, webcam, clipboard, and any relevant passthrough. Acceptance criteria – The VM launches on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 host exactly as documented. – WhatsApp stays open and usable for at least ten minutes. – Network and audio work immediately after first boot. If you know Celadon, Android-x86, AOSP tooling, or advanced QEMU device passthrough, this project should feel familiar. Feel free to ask for any host details you need, and let me know how quickly you can deliver the solution.
