im not sure what you mean by android bios, but you could create a virtual device of your phone with the android-sdk and restore and install apps and data from a nandroid backup of your phone.

VMware emulates hardware for x86 and AMD64 virtual machines, which is a different architecture to ARM which is used on your phone, so you can't just load your phone image into a VM like that.
You can run an emulated android system with the SDK as mentioned or look at something like "Bluestacks" to run android apps on your PC.

[Guide]Flashing with SEUS using a non windows based operating system.

Many times people ask about flashing using other operating systems.
Well here is the answer.
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
It's free!
Virtual box will allow you to accurately run Many operating systems such as windows on most PC operating systems without it effecting your PC partitions or causing any hassles.
Just install it, create a windows system
"you need a windows disk or backup windows disk image"
The operating systems supported are:
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Windows hosts x86/amd64
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for OS X hosts Intel Macs
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Linux hosts
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Solaris hosts x86/amd64
I have used this often to run SEUS.

[Q] Is posibble to...?

Is posibble to emulate Linux on android, then install wine on it and run Windows programs?
it need a very good hardware on phone
AFAIK, WINE does not emulate the x86 CPU but only the Windows OS. So the Android systems that can run that should be very limited ;-)

Android Virtual Device (AVD) can't run in Android Studio | HAXM can't be installed

Installing android virtual device (AVD) with Intel HAXM support
Installing HAXM via android studio sdk manager gives no error.. but in AVD Manager, an error displayed - "/dev/kvm is not found" and hence doesn't allow me to run AVD
Installing HAXM(6.1.2) by downloading from intel official website gives me an error "Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver" which I tried to resolve using this solution given on intel blog
But still not working for me as comments shows for few people it is not working too..
Now, Clicking on green run button gives me same error in addition it displays something more related to "enable Intel VT-x from bios"
Now, in my computer's bios settings.. there is no VT-x but just "Intel VT" feature that I enabled.. but still no difference.. same error message.. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling android studio and AVD.. still no solution
My PC config is :
4gb ram ddr3
Intel i3 550 3.20 ghz
BIOS version TCIBX10H.86A.0037 (not updated - latest firmware is TCIBX10H.86A.0048)
Intel hd graphics
500gb hdd
Windows 7 32bit
PS:
1. Hyper-v is not installed on my computer (may be not supported or Windows need to be installed, I never tried to install it myself)
2. There is no virtual box installed either
3. Sorry for bad english and I'm new to android app development also
One of your issues is that you are running a 32 bit system. Android devices tools require a 64 bit computer.
From what you have said about the missing bios option again tells me your pc is not compatible on a basic level. Not a whole lot you can do. Other then get a new pc to work with Android tools.

Thank you for your reply.
I have another PC of my colleague, but I don't know exact configuration of it. Still I came to know that it has 64-bit Windows 7 installed and some high end Nvedia graphics card installed. I'll try using it and let you know.

Problem continues even on other PC and I could never find why the error continued even if I got VT - x supported and enabled on both the PCs now.. (I checked using 'IntelĀ® Processor Identification Utility' and 'securable.exe') finally i had to move on to 3rd party emulators which run on VirtualBox (like Genymotion).

How to Install Android OS on Virtual machine in PC ?

Can anybody explain me how to install android os on virtual machine on my computer. So that i can easily use the android apps on my pc without using the emulator and i think this would work better. Please Help...
You may take advantage of BlueStacks.
My recommendation: BLISS OS ( dual boot solution )
Emulators - where it doesn't matter which one - are always only a stopgap solution. Because emulators share system resources with PC, a high-end PC is neded to more or less flawlessly run an emulator instance.
Hi Kajal,
I totally agree with all the other answers like you can easily install Bluestacks on your computer and can use android apps easily. But only things only thing in bluestack is that you have good amount of RAM so that the apps can run smoothly. But still if you want to install android Operating system on virtual machine then you can follow these steps:-
Download the android ISO file from android-x86 and then download Virtualbox and install it properly.
1. Now Open Virtualbox
2. Create Virtualbox a new virtual machine
3. Configure virtual machine RAM and Harddrive.
4. Now import the ISO file in the virtual machine and setup it properly.
5. Now Adjust your Video Memory allocated for the android virtual machine.
6. Now once your android machine is created, Click on Start.
7. It will start loading the android files and then select the harddrive where it will be installed.
8. Now wait for few minutes and it will be ready to RUN.
I know the process is little longer, that i have also attached the guide showing how to install Android OS properly.

Thanks,
