[Q] Making a device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I am wondering if it is possible to make a device that can run Android auto
like you can build your own PC.
Some one who can help me out i have search the web how to build a Linux PC
but if you have one, are you able to install android or android auto?
I want to make some kind of board-computer, maybe reading out if the doors are open
just to make a bridge between the lamp that will light up if it is so (what the already does).

[Q] Can I develop for my tablet on my tablet?

Basically the title..
Im wondering if there is any sort of android IDE app that can create and manage projects? I use my tablet as my primary pc since I no longer have a computer for the time being.
If there isnt an app, I wonder if it would be possible by booting into ubuntu and compiling code there. Although then Id have no way to run the app, would I?

Both options work. ...
If you know how to work via a shell, you should have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340852. It includes everything to get an android application up-and-running on your device from your device itself. It includes the java compiler, dex, signer, ... even vim as a text editor. Very cool.
Ubuntu works also, but is a bit heavier. You will need at least a giga byte of space. But then you can use most of the usual tools. But I didn't find a working SDK for android for the arm version of Ubuntu. So it's mainly useable to create applications that will have to run inside that Ubuntu. It is also possible to use it with a GUI throug VNC, but I don't feel that it is useable enough for real development.
Good luck ...

[Q] Modding Android OS to Windows Desktop OS

Hello,
I have Sony Xperia S running Android and i am wondering if it is possible to modify the boot loader to accept windows ISO from USB stick or from internal storage? or is it possible to somehow convert windows desktop ISO into a ROM somehow? the reason i am asking is because i like the unrestricted features of windows and the ability to run .EXE on my phone would be brilliant and being able to use skype for group calls which is not featured on android yet.
Thanks everyone... looking forward to your replies

no you cant convert an iso to a rom...its not that easy. However there are some devs who have managed to port the windows phone os to some devices.

[Q] Android all mobiles installation

HI,
The other day i was thinking while flashing a rom onto my galaxy nexus and i thought Why thres no one only android that can be installed in all the mobile phones, i mean like when you install linux you can choose between a lot but it can be installed on every computer it adapts itself to the computer.
Why can't it be done in android?, its because that will take a lot of space?
sorry if its a silly cuestion XD.
now i feel curious too.
but you mean why can't android be installed in every phone/device right?
maybe because if we try to install android in a windows phone or iphone, android doesn't have the driver for the hardware or android can't access the hardware.
which means the device is rendered useless.
but that's just my newbie opinion.
I mean why roms have to be always adapted to every phone, a computer os is mor or less universal, my wonder s if its possible to make a rom that can be install in all phones(obviusly is hard to do it in windows phoner nor iphones but), so the rom just addapts herself to the phone you've flashed to taking the info about the device and if needed download the drivers or something like that.

[Q] Chroot question

This might be a weird one, but has anyone has come up with the notion of chrooting android x86 inside a pc linux distro. The reverse is quite common ( linux deploy, lil debi etc bundling a debian environment inside a linux device ). I was googling my day to something describing this as something common yet, nothing ( it can be done almost casually on android devices an likewise on major linux distros ).
Has it crossed anyone else's mind ? Whould anybody be interested in postinge something I might have missed or stopping me from trying ( providing sound reasons for not doing so or shouting "this is madness" for maximum drama effect ) .
Whould anyone find it interresting if..... should..... maybe.... provided that i succeeded I post the proccess ?
Hi, yes I thought about this too and spend way too much time looking for a solution like that Plase post if you find anything or even manage to do something on your own. This would totally rock, as I don't want to use any proprietary OS but would like to play some Android games on my computer.
I found a thread where someone managed to do this, but running on the Android kernel. It's still different from running GNU+Linux chrooted, because on the Android kernel runs GNU+Linux and then Android chrooted (kinda complicated ). I asked whether it's possible to have the GNU+Linux kernel running isntead of Android's, you can check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780378
Also, maybe we can just copy from Chromium/ Chrome OS when they are done implementing support for natively running Android Apps on the OS (which they announcend on Google IO 2014). Hmm, probably not so great (fast) since it will run inside the browser...
A google search got me here. What you guys what to do is a lil different then what i want. I have a really neat device an ASUS TRIO an intel atom powered device.
It has android 4.3 and a windows 10 in the keyboard. The problem is the android 4.3 is so dang old. Id love if it had an update available but only the french tablet asus made that copied the trio tablet only (not dock) got an update to android 4.4. So it got me thinking could I run chrome os on this tablet and gain back more of the support ive lost since the android is so old. That led me to chroot and I know I can run debian but like I said Id love to run chrome os but no one is working on this or I cant find it. Suggestions?
I do not get why this should be a problem. You simply can not chroot into different architectiute (PC is x86 or x86_64). But you can use emulator to provide "bridge" between those architectures. Its called Qemu. You can use qemu binaries for chroot into another architecture. But I do not think that what you want, you area talking about gaming a android games on PC. Thats possible too but I think its not called chroot but its again emulator (not qemu but android emulator) for example AnBox.

Android system dump

Hi guys,
First of all, my sincere appologies if I have posted in the wrong section, but I have used the search button and haven`t found an answer to my question (s).
I have a Vauxhall Insignia ans have installed an android chinese unit on it. Everything works fine, as it should, but as human nature I want something more.
So, I was wondering, if there is anyway in which I can dump the whole system in the computer and emulate it in order to see what it can do and what I can change?
So, basically, what do I need to do to emulate the whole operating system which is present on the android unit, on my Windows PC? How can I dump the system and emulate it on the computer? What app do I need and what software do I need to run on the computer !
On the unit,it`s Android 4.4.4 and the computer is Windows 10. I can connect via USB on the android unit, if that helps.
Thank you for your time and answers !
