As an android 11 user, I’m faced with some really annoying
restrictions that tend to be a thorn in my developer mindset. Imagine not being
able to access the /android/data folder, not being able to play some games or
even use some apps as a result of the fact that I decided to upgrade my android
version.
After much research (google search) I came across the term,
“Virtual Android Machine”; as a curious cat I dived into more research to see
what a Virtual Android Machine had to offer and I basically found out that I could
literally have more than one android OS/version available on one mobile phone.
After this discovery, I decided to download or search for any Virtual Android
Machine I could find; I came across many, but only one picked my interest and a
driving factor for this was because this app was popular amongst some people.
The reviews were good enough to pick my interest, so I let my enthusiasm lead
me to download this app. I am speaking of my personal favorite Virtual Android
Machine, “VMOS”.
What Is VMOS?
VMOS is an app dedicated to the sole purpose of giving an
android user the liberty of running various android versions ranging from
Android 5.1 to Android 11 freely on any android supported mobile phone.
Benefits Of using VMOS
It substitutes an app cloner for android, as you can run an
app on your main android OS and at the same time run that app on VMOS.
A great privilege VMOS gives, is the ability to grant root
access, without even rooting your phone. Some apps like Lucky Patcher which
need root access to work at maximum capacity can be used on your phone, running
at full strength without the need to root your phone or risk ruining your
phone.
Among other Virtual Machines, VMOS grants support for google
play services and other google apps. This alone makes VMOS a number one choice
for users.
You can change screen resolution in the Virtual environment,
thereby granting you the privilege to run old apps and games in full screen.
With constant updates, the app is more stable than before,
making gameplay even more enjoyable without experiencing any unexpected crash.
How to set and use VMOS
Downsides to Using VMOS
If you’ve got a phone with less than 2gb of RAM, VMOS will
be a hassle to run smoothly on your device. Be ready to experience force and
unexpected shutdown while using the app. Even phones with 2-4gb of RAM also
tend to be weakened as a result of the consumption of VMOS.
Downloading the app does not guarantee you access to another
android OS immediately, you’ve got to download ROMs of the various android
version you wish to have on your phone.
Download VMOS ROMs
You could choose to
download rooted or unrooted android versions; versions with google support and
those without. The choice is all yours.
Android 4.4 – Android 7.1 (with and without root, google
support)
Android 9.0 lite (root)
