A guy working in my corporation has the job to develop our android apps.
Sometimes when i returned with fresh coffe to my desk i recognized him developing.
He used a software wich might be exactly that what u are searching.
It was a android phone interface shown on his computer where he could test the apps...
This might help u out

WM5/6/6.1 etc.... Emulator for Cooked ROM

We are in a very need for such application that saves our PPC a lot of Flashing.
I think my GENE Device is about to kill me because i'm flashing it almost every day with each of my cooked ROM for testing.
I searched all the WEB without any success till now.
I'm requesting Everybody that has any single piece of success in this regard to tell us HERE about his tries and to make this Thread helpfull for everybody .
please go ahead all and put your comments.
There is no emulator available for cooked roms, not even for official HTC roms. The Microsoft emulator uses a very different file format a lot of other utilties inside the roms that run inside emulators. I have searched a lot and this is the answer i have come up with.
Well, there is a way. You could use samWMEmuKitchen. It has some bugs, but you can try your modifications with it, as add a package to test, registry modifications, etc. Only works with wm6.1 and has some limitations. I used it some time ago to test some modifications before flash my device.

i appreciate that effort ramersonw.
i already used your emulation kitcken long time ago.
there might be missunderstanding, i'm looking for emulator that i can inject with any cooked ROM but your kitchen can be used perfectly for testing some minor changes
for example. i tried to inject Arabizer and it come with black screen, i might use it in a wrong way, would you please help me?

Building a ROM from scratch, guide?

Are there any guides that show the user how to create a rom from scratch? I've seen multiple guides on creating a rom but they do so using the kitchen. I would prefer something that shows how to make a rom without a crutch.
please help

I would say the best way to make a ROM from scratch is to compile it from source. If your interested in learning how to compile a ROM from source I would recommend taking a look at this guide to building Jelly Bean from source, as well as Google's offcial documentation on building Android from source. Additionally this guide on Zip Based ROM tweaking is a good guide to take a look at. Let me know if you still have any questions .

Normally all device forums have tutorials on how to compile ROM from source(if someone has already compiled it).
If no development has yet started for your phone then you you need to create the device tree which is tough. Otherwise just google . There are lots of tutorials lying on xda.

Thanks, I didn't even know there was an official guide
I'm wanting an AOSP ROM on my s5 g901f but there is no support at all. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to have a go and have looked up porting but I don't think that is the way to go. If somebody could give me the steps what I need to do for this modal I will research.
Could I use the cm for note 4 as it has similar specs, ie
805, 420 etc. Or s5 g900 as a base ROM? Or would I need to build from scratch?
There is only one custom ROM for g901f and that's touchwiz so somebody please help before I go insane. Touchwiz really is that bad
Up for this. Really interested especially for us who has not so good programming skills

Let's see if I can point you in the right direction! Because of the differences in specs between your S5 Plus and the regular S5 you can't use that to port ROM's. For the Note 4 idea, since you only have a Touchwiz ROM as your base (The one from your S5 Plus) it won't work properly for the port ROM (CM12 Note 4). I would recommend looking at compiling CM12 for your device, which I would recommend taking a look at this guide here. Let me know if you have any questions be happy to help you out.

Testing custom ROM in PC android emulator?

I want to test custom ROMs before installing them on a phone, but all i have found is this outdated guide being copy-pasted everywhere:
https://paperknots.wordpress.com/20...sdk-emulator-before-installing-to-your-phone/
Current Android SDK doesn't work like that and neither seem to do older SDK versions, making this guide useless.
Is there a way i can test custom ROMs on a PC android emulator before actually doing it on a phone?
Bump~
hi, any new for your question, i want test my rom too.

[Question] What do I need to start making a (good) port

Hello
To mods : I really hope I'm in the right section, if not could you move this post?
I've recently bought a Vernee V2 Pro and I found the lack of custom ROMs a bit frustrating...
I've decided to take a step forward and I'm willing to learn how to port a ROM to this device ...
Since one can install twrp and root with superSU on this device I now have some questions ..
What should I do, or where should I start to learn how to make a port? I've read some post about having a base ROM and port ROM but I don't know if it will work with this device :/
Moreover shouldn't it be simpler to do such a thing since the project treble?
What I really want to do is to port Paranoid Android to my phone ... Or at least Resurrection remix x') (or even just lineageos)
Thanks in advance
