Awesome tech!

It's not possible to run an android VM on QEMU right? As in, is it officially supported? (I know about Waydroid)

The official Android "emulator" supplied by Google is qemu. If you're not satisfied with it for some reason, IIRC I used these images some years ago on top of vanilla qemu:

They don't seem to be well supported anymore, and there aren't many prebuilt alternatives. One can always compile AOSP from source, though Google does not make this easy.

Nitpick: It's a fork of QEMU. There are quite a few Google-exclusive changes bundled-in.
