What is a good android emulator for windows xp? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is a good android emulator for windows xp?
Is there any way I can try out Sense 4.0 on my pc with an emulator?
Thanks!

The emulator that comes with the Android SDK is ok especially now that they allowed hardware acceleration.Abd as fir the sense thing you would have to load up a custom rom and there is a tutorial on how to do this just google for it.

The most realistic one is the Android sdk since it emulates ARM hardware which means it can get a bit laggy. The smoothest one is Bluestacks alpha but its running an x86 build of Android which makes it fast on x86 hardware but restricts apps. Looking forward to their beta that is supposed to have ARM compatibility and still be fast.

The android sdk I tried but I cant install .apk that are on my computer. Ill have to try installing a rom.
Bluestacks looks interesting. Is there a download link for the alpha?

You can install apk just use the file explorer option in ddms or adb to push them

Yes but.....
Hello,
Yes, but the beta version coming soon, actually android 2.3.4 ( in the future ??? )
asks go(d)ogle or on XDA there's mod
Note : for XP, need SP3 and 1gb memory (min.)
Use HD-ApkHandler.exe in the install dir ( the two services "BlueStacks Log Rotator Service"(for log) and "BlueStacks Android Service" (for SDCard.fs) must be run).
Tricks to edit SDCard.fs > Stop services and use Winimage.exe, it work very fine

They pulled the alpha download since a beta is coming soon. Google the following file and you'll find 3rd party download links. Its about 120MB.
BlueStacks_HD_AppPlayer_setup_0.6.2.0563_REL.msi

But I don't think they are too far away from the beta release, put your email in on their website to be a beta tester. Really hoping the beta is running ICS. I look forward to seeing how smooth they can get ARM emulation running. They want it to work well enough for games so the end product shouldn't be laggy. Part of the reason the alpha is fast is because its only virtualizing since its running an x86 build of Android.

BlueStacks Beta got released today http://bluestacks.com/
Unfortunately its not working on my pc

I'm just going to assume you're all doing it wrong.
I'm going to assume that the Fennec builds you are downloading are the "Official" android ones, which are built for ARMv7.
Wildfire has an ARMv6 core however, so these will not ever work.
There is currently an experimental build for ARMv6

The layout does not work correctly though, so don't expect to replace your stock browser.

I need to learn the very very basic.
Like on math: 1+1.
I need to learn the basic of android development.
Research my friend. Lots and lots of it. I'm no dev, I just flash things, so "1+1" to me like 2746÷√9×-π. (Yes that is negative Pi, get at me.) But I do know there is information out there and you have to do a lot of self study.
Good luck!

Start by setting up a build machine. Linux base with Java Sdk6 (not sdk7). If you are running windows you can use a program galled wubi to set a dual boot on your Pc to have ubuntu run, or you can use vmware to set up a virtually Linux emulator over top windows.
Then it will be up to you on what source you want to build from. And just google "build cm7 from source kindle fire" and there will be all kinds of links with instructions from there

Actually, Eclipse and adb work on Windows just fine (although it might be a bit more difficult, like adding adb to PATH).

First of all, you need to setup Eclipse, Android SDK and ADT Plugin (try to run a "hello world" sample, to ensure that all is Ok). Windows or Linux... it doesn't mater, the result will be the same
Then, search for Android Development tutorials (there are many, just find them). If you have a specific doubt, try to search before post. Many of times the doubt is already solved at specialized sites, like stackoverflow

Unable to install Dev Tools in Eclipse (Ubuntu 11.04)

I have searched and searched solutions for this. I have tried so many different things and yet nothing is working for me.
From what I can see, it's a common error. When I am trying to install the Development Tools in Eclipse, it doesn't work. I am now using Java EE - Eclipse. I have installed everything I could from these locations:
EPP Packages Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo
The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5
I am at a loss as to what to try.
When I try to download and install Google App Engine Tools for Android from:
Google Update Site for Eclipse 3.5 - http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5
I get an error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

I tried following your issue, but I can't. Let me ask do you mean the Android Development Tools (ADT)?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#downloading
I use eclipse and works fine just putting in the url, clicking next. etc etc. Make sure you already have the SDK installed. Make things much easier, then you just point to the path of the SDK when you add in a new android project.

You need to upgrade eclipse. Google is already preparing the versions for the latest Ubuntu LTS. This is most likely why you get this error because you are using an older Eclipse version.
12.04 - eclipse-platform 3.7.2-1
You could also update your version:

No idea then. Follow the directions on the google site. If you are using the latest version then you should only need to put in the url and click next.

Not working for me too
I have exactly the same issue
It's not the first time i installed ADT, and until today, i never had any problem.
I just re-install my OS and i can't re-install ADT, and i really don't know why.
Moreover issue message is really not helpful and it does not make sense.
If someone can help us, I would really appreciate
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
I downloaded the latest version on eclipse website and retry to install ADT and it's working.
I hope this can solve you problem too

I've had the same issue today, turns out you need this download on W7 64 bit. Works now, with 3.7.2 the ADT can't be installed.
Link: http://download.springsource.com/release/ECLIPSE/helios/SR2/eclipse-SDK-3.6.2-win32-x86_64.zip

This issue is fixed by right clicking on eclipse.exe and run as administrator, that way Eclipse has permission to make changes to system files.

There is a app for android allowing you to emulate Windows OS like windows 98 and stuff called Bochs, and the version im using right now is 2.5.1 but they released a new version 2.6 but I cant seem to find it for android anywhere anyone know if they are porting it for android or?
Version 2.6 of bochs is pc version. It is not for android
It's already been done. Check here, you can compile it yourself. There's a build file for each operating system and instructions for android in the Android folder. Not my work, just a lucky find. https://github.com/lubomyr/bochs?files=1
