Hi,
I hope I'm not off-topic here with my simple question.
I want to run android rom or better android app in virtual machine (qemu-arm) on Linux.
Strange thing, that i cant find a guide anywhere on the internet.
Is it possible?
As i think about it, when i make the same partitions as in my Android phone and then copy the right data to them, it should work.
But there would be no need for Google Emulator then. So what do you think?
Thanks very much for answers.

Ok, I'm sure this is been asked before and I'm sure there's references somewhere...I've looked for a couple of days and found what should be answers, but nothing is working like the instructions I've seen...
Here's the simple question; How do I get the Android SDK and Java JDK setup in Ubuntu? I've tried the sudo commands to get the JDK to install, not working for me (as Ubuntu tells me it can't find the files I'm looking for). I've tried moving the SDK into the Root Folder (in the File System area itself), don't have permissions even though I'm logged in as the administrator. I've tried getting the SDK Manager to run through Terminal (home/android-sdk-xxxxx_xxxx/tools/android), can't find the file in terminal, but it's there in the file system exactly where I'm pointing it to.
I'm very new to Linux, but if I'm going to do things that I want to do, I'm going to have to learn. For the most part, I'm prepared to read whatever I need to in order to learn from this, but I also know when I need to ask for some help here. It seems like every command shown to get this started is just not working in the partition I have setup for this. If anyone can help get me started, I'm sure I can pick the rest up along the way!
Thanks in advance!

I think you could possibly use part of the EasyDev-v6 script in the Development and just cut out everything after installing prerequesites. It probably installs the JDK and the SDK among everything else, and it probably wouldn't hurt with the other things that installs, too. Just cut out everything after the prerequesites (it's just a regular text file but it'll be easier to edit in Ubuntu with OpenOffice).
Also check out http://maketecheasier.com/install-android-sdk-in-ubuntu-karmic/2010/01/11. As far as I know it worked when I tried it.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to code my first android app, which is an app that will copy some files from the app's asset folder to /system/app, adjust permissions and let the user know the process has been finished. I am a systems person, not a programmer, so know all of the details as to what has to get done. I create some scripts in /assets, and have the files I want to copy in /assets as well.
How do I go about programming this? Is this the right method I'm looking at doing?

Better to help him instead of doing it for him, that way he learns more and gets his hands dirty. =p
Hehe, thanks for the response guys!
Anyways, tycoon177, thanks for signing up to help me!
I have zipped up everything I have related to the project, it is pretty simple, I just want to copy some files from the progrsm into /system/app, I have created an install and an uninstall script (although I haven't tested them just yet, not sure how I would do that right now) and have placed those scripts in the /assets/scripts folder. The goal is to copy the files into the proper locations, in order for the Kobo Vox to get access to the Android market. I have devised some instructions and posted them in the following forum page ( http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160948&page=1 ), but a lot of users seem to be messing up their system (they aren't a technical bunch) so I figured I should try and learn java and build an app for all of this...
Unfortunately this is a little beyond my abilities, but my intro to Java course starts tonight hehe.
Anyways, the project name is called OogleVox, it won't need to be going onto the Android Market, and will probabably just be an apk download from one site or another.
The link to the source code is here:

I don't know what Kobo Vox is, but for android, in general, the /system partition is read only, and on most devices the MMC or eMMC is locked so that it can't even be remounted read/write. Also, any user app won't be able to gain the required permissions to write to /system/app even if the partition was unlocked and mounted read/write. If you are rooted and security allows you write access to the MMC/eMMC, then you'd need su to gain the required permissions from the OS.

Thanks Gene Poole, I know this app will require root permissions, which will require a run as su. That's going to be a requirement for the app

Thanks for trying! I'm taking a Java course at school now, maybe I'll be able to figure this one out in due time.
If you want to write app before learning java you could use basic4android. You could use its phone library to execute the commands direct and as you can also issue adb commands etc with it you could also have your app more interactive whereby it could check for things you know cause problems and react accordingly.
The site is basic4ppc.com I think, it would allow you to quickly and easily code an app and as with eclipse and other ide's it produces native standalone apk files signed and ready for use.

Hello users i got question.
I want emulate my current android system of my phone.
I want have full duplicate system of my current phone (i mean files\programms\ etc) at PC with possible to use it (things like 2-step auth of google, and others)
I think the way to do it is restore image of system that can do ClockWorkMod. But i dosnt know how use it on emulator on my Win7.
Is there some advice?
P.S. if dosnt understand something, ask.
P.P.S. sorry not my native language.
You can try THIS, or this HERE.
Here are the first steps you have to make
go to developers dot android dot /sdk/installing.html and here you will find the first steps you have to make.
The emulator included with the Android SDK is really slow and laggy IMHO. If you want to use the complete Android OS in emulator form, check out this video for installing Android-x86 inside VirtualBox. It will be much smoother and more versatile than the standard emulator:

If you just want it for running Android apps and not for the OS itself, and you need to run it on Windows, check out BlueStacks.

Salam,
I came here, because well, I literally have no where else to ask, even my university professor replied with " I don't have time for such nonsense" . Basically what I'm asking isn't if it's possible because almost everything is possible, so I want to know how to run a rom patched with a pDroid core on a PC.
If in the answer you'll use the x86 Android please add to it how I can run normal Android apps on it, I'm not that knowledged on the subject but I think it has to do with an ARM emulator.
Anyways, I want as a result to run Android apps on my PC, then use a pDroid manager to feed it info like phone ID, Phone number, GPS coordinates ... Thanks for your time
hi guys ı want make a hacker phone. so ı need good apps. somobody can give it?
thanks
(ı have root ,xposed , unlocked bootloader, and cwm recovery)
Not sure if we should discuss this topic. Don't know where it sits with the rules, but I would duel boot Kali if I wanted to do that.

Sorry to say that, but you dont get a hyper mega haxx90000r by doing some magic with your phone.
Also You should think twice before posting such things here.
If you want some magic, unlock your bootloader ... start an terminal emulator and enter "chmod +000 /*)
Have fun ( I'm not responsable for bricked phones)
For the beginning, the only thing you need is a web browser to read Linux documentation.
Read the old issues of PHRACK.org, for example the classics like "smashing the stack for fun and profit".
Play the wargames at overthewire.org
Be a lot in irc channels and ask questions.
On android, you may want to learn programming. So install a few good things from playstore like terminal IDE, AIDE and other programs that let you learn programming. Android APPs are written in JAVA, so maybe you want to learn that and C/ C++
Install an IDE like eclipse and the android SDK provided by Google on your Linux box (you have a Linux box at home, have you?).
This should keep you busy for some time.
In your case, the following commands may be useful:
man man
man brain
man life
