# ABox Android box image

Disk images for the Android box in [ABox](https://boxes.anvilterm.com): an Android tablet that runs on a Mac in QEMU, which AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini Live) can see and operate, for app testing, automation and games.

ABox downloads this file once on first use; you normally never fetch it by hand.

## Contents

`abox-android-20261007.tar` contains:

| File | What |
|---|---|
| `vda.qcow2` | System disk (LineageOS 23.2, `virtio_arm64only`), qcow2, compressed |
| `vdb.qcow2` | Empty data disk, qcow2 |
| `efi_vars.fd` | UEFI variables |

SHA-256: `0fba4370936b6015d7bc7b144abfc4a12b975c97caec04a613cafa485b6658fa`

No Google apps, no Google Play, no accounts and no personal data. It is the upstream build converted to ABox's disk layout.
