I'm looking for BlueStacks or something like it for Ubuntu 12.04,if I can install BlueStacks, how do I do it? If not, is there another software that can run Android apps? I just want to play Geometry Dash Lite,so if there is another way,it's fine too. I saw videos that teach how to install it but the links don't work for me. Thanks to whoever helps :)

You may try Archon http://archon-runtime.github.io/, which runs the packaged apk as google chrome browser extension. You will need the Archon packager from google play in order to package the apk from phone to your linux desktop.

You better try the 2.1 version of Archon as it contains better support for various apks.

How to in detail:

  1. When you have 32bit Ubuntu, choose Chrome 32-bit / Chrome OS 32-bit. When you have 64bit Ubuntu, choose Intel x86 Chrome 64-bit / Chrome OS 64-bit. Download the zip.
  2. Install google chrome on Ubuntu and unzip the downloaded zip to a directory.
  3. Launch google chrome and enable in the extensions developer mode. Then load as unpacked extension the directory where you unzipped downloaded archon. enter image description here
  4. Next download on your phone or tabled archon packager from the playstore. Run Archon Packager on your phone, choose installed application, choose Geometry Dash Lite and export to zip on your phone.
  5. Transfer the zip archive from your phone to your computer. Unzip the archive to a folder (Geometry Dash Lite), then go to Google chrome and load unpacked extension this time the Geometry Dash Lite.
  6. In Google Chrome you have now two unpacked extensions: Archon and Geometry Dash Lite.
  7. To launch the game simple click on run in google chrome extensions or search the application name in the Ubuntu Dash.
