Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up Android 6.0.1 RC1 in Virtualbox, which was quite challenging. Whenever I launch any app—like the Play Store or Google Play Services—I don’t see it working properly. I’ve tried different network settings, but the browser keeps crashing, and only a few apps function correctly. The YouTube app works fine as long as I’m signed in, which is why I’m worried about using it with my phone. I think this version might be unstable, so if there’s a fix, please let me know. I’m leaning toward Android 6.0.1 RC3 because it feels more familiar and stable, even though 7.1 has some new features I’m not sure about. My main concern is stability since my home device only runs 6.0.1, while 7.1 is available on other systems. Also, all these issues seem to be happening on a computer emulator, not on my phone. I’d love to play games on it, but I can’t do that with my school phone (Android) or my Windows Phone. What do you think?

Additionally, I've experienced occasional bad fortune with Andy (won't be reliable) and Bluestacks (occasionally fails to load fully).
