[Q] Create theme without phone ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to create a theme for my rom, but I do not want to adb with my own phone. Is there a way to get the samsung firmware working on an emulator, or are there any other smart ways to create a theme without working with your own phone.
Maybe dual booting a rom could be an option, I do not know if it's possible.

[Q]How to mass deploy Android ROMs on Tablet ?

Hello,
For my work, I need to change the original ROM of the tablet received from factory to make them at the image of our company.
Is there a simple way to do this ? make the changes on one tablet, extract the ROM (so far so good) and deploy by a simple way to all the other tablet (more hard at this point) ?
What method would you use ?
nb : this is for Android 4.0 tablet
Thx.
Allkor.
Is there any way for example to script what odin do ?
If you can get TWRP working on the tablet, you can make an OpenRecoveryScript for it and use an adb script to push it so everything is automated.
What model of tablet do u have?

[Q] Modifying (android ROM || AOSP source code) to run a tablet with only one app

I'm using Lenovo Ideatab A3000-h,
I want to make it to be set to run only one app after booting, not even the home page could run then, it will open at the app and still at it forever, I know it's a common need and this has been asked a lot of times before, So, after searching I discovered that there is three options :
1- Creating my own Custom ROM.
2- Making my application a launcher application using android manifest.
3- run a kiosk mode like surlock.
4- Modifying AOSP source code.
So, after a lot of search, I found that the third option can be easily broken be entering the tablet in safe mode and try to remove app then, or by removing it from accessing the tab by PC, and the second option can be broken by the same way.
So, all I got now is to use either the first option or the forth option, and when taking about the first option, thanks to NeroYoung I already know how to:
setting up android kitchen.
modifying ROM img files and jar files.
modifying build.prop.
generating the resulted Custom ROM.
but I don't know the way to reach my needs by customizing a ROM, so, all I want to know is how to modify the custom/stock ROM to achieve my requirement of booting to only a specific app. also if there is another way by making (System Backup ----> Modify ----> Restore Modified System) it will be great.
and when taking about the forth option, I already downloaded the source code and did know how to access it's resources, but don't know where is the source code that controls the start-up process and how to modify it. thanks in advance for all future contributors.

Question about ROMS

1. I know cygwin can take a ROM (Say my stock ROM) and deconstruct it so that I can modify it in Android Kitchen, BUT does Android Kitchen also come with an Emulator so I can load my ROM into it and run it in an emulator from my PC?
2. Is there a more up to date (Absolute beginners guide to Customizing ROMS)? I seen this thread already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690 but one of the last comments on this thread says "I believe some of the tools and methods needs to be updated in this guide."
I guess the bottom line is, I want to take a copy of my phones ROM, put it on my computer, and run it in an emulator. The purpose for this is a couple things
a. I want to develop apps for my phone and the OCD in me would just preferr to see my creations working on a copy of a ROM that came from my phone.
b. I also want to customize my own ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Emulate my custom Rom in Android Studio Emulator - Black Screen

Good Morning,
I tried to emulate some custom Roms in Android Emulator but at every Rom I get only a black screen.
I tried with the system images from the emulator from the sdk package. This roms works. Then i create a avd for the custom roms. I put the roms into the avd path where are the data of the created avd. I tried with different settings how device, ram an so on. But with all settings I only get a black screen.
The Roms are flashable from a sd card to the device. The Device have a mcu.
The Kernel for the images with Android 4.2.2 is 3.4.35. I tried with some Qemu´s but all qemu´s don´t work / or I only get the black sreen.
Before I flash a rom to the device I want to test it with the emulator that I know that the rom works fine. But with a black screen it isn´t possible.
A qemu for emulating the kernel 3.4.35 I don´t find on the internet.
I have a custom rom for android 6.0 and there I have the same problem with the emulator.
Who can help me to make it possible to emulate the roms at the emulator and get the roms to start?
Thank you very much

How to create a TB-8505FS Full Backup (non-boot)?

Hi All,
I'm new to this but I thought I'd post the question here since all the avenues I've tried have failed. What I am attempting to do is create a copy/clone/image of this fully configured TB-8505FS tablet. I want to preserve the applications, setting changes, layout, etc and perfectly replicate the copy/image to other TB-8505FS tablets. I have several thousand new tablets to deploy and ADB backup doesn't work to pull/push the settings properly.
I have tried SP Flash and Wwr_2.51 but I think I'm following Mediatek instructions and it isn't working to create a copy.
Is this possible without rooting the device?
Base tablet's Android must be rooted to create a full clone.
