Archon

has always tried to run Android apps on your computer: virtual environments, operating systems tailored programs … but none seemed to operate as . due to Android not far

However, the solution can be reached with ARCHON: an extension for Google Chrome that with a few simple steps, allowing you to execute almost any Android application on your computer without complications or several stories. The Free Android And we tell how easily and without complications

Step 1:. Downloading and installing our version of Archon

The first thing is to become our version of Archon, and to do this we need to access the project repository on GitHub. You can access it here, and you’ll need to look at the description of each to see which is best for your operating system (if it fails, try another version). In my case, I use Windows 8.1 and Chrome 37, and is the system with which you can see made screenshots illustrating the entire article.

Once you have it on your hard drive, the next thing should do is to unzip the file with your favorite program, open chrome: // extensions in a new tab and drag the folder to the Chrome window to install unpacked extension. . Course, activad developer mode before you can do it

I’ve tried both Instagram . including Angry Birds, and both work perfectly Not all applications work perfectly: some will fail or need some trick more to run (diligence to inform before testing), but generally gives good results. An enviable fluency and all aspects of the applications running smoothly, in short, removing exceptions.



One step closer to unification

It is possible to move Android to Chrome with a significantly smaller effort is a great sign: the unification between desktop and mobile may be located much closer than we think, which would be great news for everyone. Hopefully Google see this type of project and put the batteries about , may be the final push is missing from Android to take off at all.
