Describe the request
Add opportunity turn on KVM
it’s give opportunity to develop and test android applications in cursor cloud
Operating System (if it applies)
Linux
I support that, otherwise agent aren’t really usable for android dev
Agree we need KVM. I just tried setup for our Android app and it has spent multiple hours. Lots of problems due to software emulation, the app’s main thread gets locked up constantly.
+1. I’m trying to use Cloud Agents for Android app dev work (gesture-nav inset bugs, visual before/after checks, installing a debug APK and poking at the features).
I got the emulator running, but only with -accel off. /dev/kvm is there and kvm-ok / emulator -accel-check both say KVM is fine. Creating a vCPU still dies with kvm_spurious_fault / vmx_vcpu_create (kernel BUG around arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:702).
So nested VT-x looks half-wired: the device node exists, but it isn’t usable.
TCG boots eventually and I can get screenshots, but it’s slow enough that UI checks feel like babysitting.
A real KVM path (or a worker class that has working nested virt) would make Android Cloud Agents a lot more practical.
