Hi,
I have Android SDK and I can use the Android Emulator but I couldn't find a way to use a Dell Streak rom on it.
I got some system.img from some of the threads and put it under the avd folder but with this system.img emulator does not boot well.
What is the correct way to get a Streak emulator on my PC ?
Which one is the correct system.img for 1.6 or 2.1 firmware ?
Thanks.
no idea anyone ?
hi again,
I really need this. a littlebit of help please...
thanks.
I have absolutely no idea myself, but this may help you - http://android.modaco.com/content/g...p-and-running-a-full-rom-with-the-market-etc/
It's for getting a cyanogen ROM running, but you may be able to amend it to run whatever.
thank you. I am trying it but I've waited for more than 15 minutes and it still didn't boot.
Where can I find a system.img for 2.1 streak (or 1.6 streak but preferably 2.1) ?
I don't want to disturb anyone but I really need this.
Any idea ? nobody has evertried this ?
I am really surprisedto see that nobody is interested in this subject.
As I am expecting to get my Dell Streak this Sunday, I want to see the interface and apps on the emulator
nobody is interested cause its inconsistant with actually using a streak, its 800x480 with a weird DPI setting that causes alot of issues with programs scaling things weird or offsetting graphics (abduction, speed test, pandora, UnBlock me) dont get me wrong, but you arent really experiencing the streak in the Emu. I have a Core i7-860 OC'd and the Emulator is MUCH slowwer than the real thing, its garbage... now Android in a X86 Emulator/Runtime as VirtualBox is FAST! I was able to hit a LinPack of 49MFlops/s in android 1.6 in virtualbox!
http://www.android-x86.org/
either play with a streak, or dont, the emulator is frustratingly slow, and if anything the streak "skin" detracts from everything good about android.
Thanks for the comments.
In fact, I was just wondering what apps are available in the Streak rom...

I am about to receive my new archos 101 later this week. I am reading the forums, and so far i have gathered i will need to put android 2.2 on it, and also the android market. what other tweaks should i do when i get it? Apps i need to know about? This will be the first android i have owned so i do not know where to begin.
If there is a thread that addresses this question, please point me in the right direction. my search didn't come up with much as to a list of things that are essential to getting the most out of the archos 101. thanks!

Why would you be disappointed?
I had my archos 101 since November 2010 and I was never disappointed with it.
Its a matter of how you use your device.

For my Archos 70, when I'm at home I have the screen brightness set to low. When I'm out in the sun I have to turn the brightness up all the way.

Agreed. I've been very happy with my 101. And I tried several popular alternatives before this. Like the Viewsonic, Nook color, Huewii/Ideos S7, and some knock off chinese clone. The 101 beats them all.
thanks :-D
any news on what i need to do once it is out of the box? On my touch pro 2 it took me forever to realize that the first thing to do was flash a custom rom and other tweaks like OC'ing it. any thing i should do to the archos 101?
well...plug it in and charge it...
If you want root and ability to OC, etc...I think you need to jump down to the UrkDroid threads. I'm very happy with stock and hoping for some way to root it. If you don't upgrade the stock I think z4root works though...as well as some additional codecs, but then you are on Eclair. Upgrade brings Froyo. Can't give you much advice beyond that...just load the market apk and start installing stuff.

Check out this thread over on forums archos fans .com . I found a lot of good tips here. (i dont have enough post yet to post an external link.) but under the top thread gen 8 devices there is a post titled newbie tips, and some general set up info.
Something that i have done to really help is upgrade to froyo, then go into the power management and set it to over drive. yes i kills the battery faster, but it seems more responsive. also a new launcher program helps too. i am currently using one called zeam.
I'd say get market, a launcher (adw, launcherpro, zeam) and if you are comfortable with linux, the urukdroid hack. i was a little disappointed with the laginess of my 70 at first, mostly the media scanning but the SDE and Uruk make me jealous of no tablet.
got it today, this thing is nice. i am sitll getting used to android though. I cant get it to access my windows shares though, i input my username/password correctly and it cannot connect...
also, how do i get the codecs on here? must i really pay for them?

Can't help ya with the shares, but you could try removing security from them for a bit and make sure you can connect. That's just basic troubleshooting.
With regards to codecs, probably not. It comes default with a lot of stuff and I can play almost every video/audio file I have. Only a few needed to be converted. Very few statistically speaking. I think the ones you buy are very specific. So try what you have first.
I've not had to download any codecs. The handfull of videos I have watched worked fine.
Zeam Launcher is a must for me. Fastest Launcher I have seen. Love it so much I put it on my Droid X and my wifes Droid2.
Market and Appbrain is a must as is Flash 10.1. Don't forget to do the "Market Fix" to get all the market apps to show up. Forget the stock keyboard as its a laggy POS. Swype does not work at all but Slideit works great. Well worth the price for the amount of hair you will rip from your head trying to get the stock keyboard to register your inputs.
thanks guys! i will look for the market fix soon as i have noticed a few apps are missing. including zeam.
Also, i cannot figure out how to tether this thing to my wm6.5 tilt 2.
i have always been able to tether windows machines, and i can even make a wireless network with it. however, the archos doesnt find my wireless router network, and when i connect it through usb or bluetooth it asks me for APN and username/password which i have no idea what they are.
any ideas?

I did get mine to tether to my touch pro 2. I had to use blue tooth and for sprint the apn is internet.com ( a quick google search should turn up other carriers) user id and password are usually blank.
I'd say autostarts with Archangel is a nice tweak stupid email app always loads at boot wasting precious milliseconds of my life
Just upgraded from HTC HD2 to the Streak (so much better). However the one thing I miss is the MyMobiler app that allowed you to control the phone from a PC screen.
Does anyone know if there is a similar app for the Streak/Android?
The only thing I can find is Webkey it does require root however.
Android Screen Cast:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
I have tried screencast for the streak......but I'm not sure if its the way the codes for the Streak was written, but everything is the wrong way up and at the moment, theres now work around for that which is a pain after spending all the time loading the drivers and stuff for Win7......

Hello,
Just reading through some android news and came across this. Android Injector. It will appearantly let you install apps directly to phone w/ out having to use command line or adb. Seems like a pretty easy way to get gingerbreak on to your phone. I havent used it because im at work, if somebody wants to give it a go, let us know =).

Android Centrals "Sideload Wonder Machine" also works like a champ for that.
You can also use Android Centrals Sideload Wonder Machine.

hey all this is most likely the wrong section so pleas move if it is, but anyway im curious about backtrack 5 on the nook color, ive seen one person got it working but im curious if it is the full gui or if there is only a command prompt version running? and how hard this would be to get running? any help would be great thanks
I would think this would work on the Nook Color as well but haven't tried it out myself.
But I think I will now...

ill try it when i get home from work forgot it today lol if you get it done let me know how it goes
Im trying it now, I had to revert from Hybrid RC1 HC on the nook to try it. Im copying the files over now. The only main issue i see is the resolution, that may be a concern, but o well im gonna give it a go
cool keep us posted, i may be dumb but i havnt seen if this is a gui or comand prompt
The image that they link to has GUI you just have to connect to it over VNC. Its the same way you can use the Ubuntu image in android.

im trying my best to attempt this on the NOOK, but im having issues with the 4gb issue and the other member has not been able to upload a smaller 3.3gb version. im attempting to see what i can do now
i would like native boot, not chroot.
chroot, we have got debian(more fit, BT image is large), ssh to debian can do almost anything.

Dude your downloading the wrong version the version I downloaded was only 1.1gb the ARM version.
Name: BT5-GNOME-ARM.7z
Size: 1060
Flavor: GNOME
Arch: arm
Image: IMG
Download: Direct
MD5: a66bf35409f4458ee7f35a77891951eb
it unzips to over 4.9gigs. you need the files that are uploaded in the x10 thread. im copying them now to attempt first shot at it
here is the thread from my main xda page posted a few days ago. it really is quite as easy as drag and drop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079898
here is a link to my post a few minutes ago. found the distro via the xda mainpage and it seems to run ok on the NC but not natively.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13947701&postcount=128
overall its cool that it's running on the NC or most any android device - the con is that it's not native and uses vnc to localhost. it's ok to play with but really won't be of much use for any real projects. i'll try to build up on this release and use it in the field for some clients. see how far it can really go on the NC.
Im thinking about getting a Nook Colot but wanted to know if it fully runs backtrack since I need to use aircrack-ng on it. Please let me know how it worked for you guys. Thanks!
Hi,
In addition to some Android apps I also do a little Silverlight on the side. I was wondering if it is possible to load a WP7 ROM onto the Atrix to multi-boot (using Boot Manager) or something so I can test a few apps on the actual phone.
I haven't been able to find any info on this regarding the Atrix, but it seems like an easy thing to do using an HD2.
Thanks.
Nope. That's not going to happen.

An easy thing to do? Do you have any idea as to how much effort, hard work and time went into that?
