Sadly currently you can't install Android x86 on the Xbox you would have to do a lot of porting work to get it to work. If your looking for operating systems and distros you can install on your Xbox I would recommend taking a look at this list http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Linux#List_of_Distributions.

What is a good android emulator for windows xp?

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 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

definitely linux. nuff said. compiling from source need linux.
only wannabe uses windows to repack another rom with some cheap theme, gives full blown name, upload and claims its a new rom.
real dev uses linux to compile from scratch.

rom porting even if doesnt need compiling new kernel atleast need modified ramdisk.
afaik ramdisk can only be unpack and repack in linux. dont know if it works natively in windows or with cygwin. even so cygwin is hell trying to figure out its dependency properly.
u better of installing full linux distro then trying to configure cygwin
point is, for hardcore dev job only linux can satisfy the needs
So do you guys think I shall use Linux as my default OS?

not as default. u can just dualboot. windows still needed for odin, games etc.
or maybe virtualisation with vmware or virtualbox if u got superpower high end specs pc.
btw go for ubuntu, most friendly linux distros of all. got buncload of tutorials scattered all over the net incase u had trouble
I use linux for school os
And android os
For gaming i used honeycomb on my pc
And for heavy games i use windows8

This is not a problem, I have one hard drive too and have dual boot. Read about installing for example ubuntu behind windows and how does grub works.
ughh forgot about this.
ubuntu/linuxmint also got wubi. its installed them side by side with windows, within windows itself. to install it is just by clicking wubi installer like u always do with other windows apps

Downloand Launcher 7 from Google Play, use Milocker and search for a lockscreen theme when you swipe the screen up to unlock, and tada! you have the same appearance and feeling of Windows 7/8.
I really don't see any benefits of that system, or something that Android isn't capable to do, unless you're a developer and want to test your apps built for different platforms, but trying to install a different system on a device that isn't meant to run it, it just won't be that easy.

Want to become a developer

What do i need to learn to start developing apps, roms, kernels, etc..? I obviously know Java is a 1st but Linux OS? Should i just start reading a book on Linux?

Well java is your first stop. Linux will help but it is a very different linux system in android. I suggest start by developing an app or two to understand how the system works

Linux does help, alot. I dont know even one bit of c or java but because i'm an avid linux user i can compile android kernel just fine, and i believe i can compile rom from source too if i read those many tutorials available.
Linux is the way to go.
Start by booting linux in vmware, preferably ubuntu
Me myself running arch tho
