I have made a build environment in VMWare. I have added all necessary programs to the Gnome menu. I spent a good 6 hours on making this and compressing this.
Before you use the VMWare image change RAM and CPU to your needings. I suggest at least 2GB RAM and 2 cores assigned for decent performance.
I have also enabled 3D acceleration for OpenGL developers or those who want to try making games.
Requirements
VMWare Player (FREE)
VMWare Workstation (optional, paid)
Features
- Everything is installed:
- Android SDK Tools
- Eclipse
- Android AOSP ready: tested with Jelly Bean
- CyanogenMod ready: tested with CyanogenMod 10 and later
- Developer links in Firefox to CyanogenMod and Android AOSP.

FAQ
Can you upload on a mirror?
- No it takes too much time and bandwidth. I don't have the money to buy extra bandwidth.
Passwords?
- All passwords are: 'root'
Looks awesome! I just finished downloading it.. But whats the passwords? For the user anddev and root.

I would highly recommend each user and ESPECIALLY new users go through the process of setting up and configuring their own development environment. You will gain a lot of understanding on how Linux and thus Android operates by working with it yourself, and this really is important. This is great for a experienced dev who wants to have a backup of his own environment, but I think it's just adding one more crutch that the newbies really won't understand.
Password is 'root'
I thought this was a nice and obvious password to use. Sorry for letting you wait.

It's much more stable using VMWare. Many systems have trouble downloading the source code. Virtual Box gets the 'HTTPS ... not received' errors. Honestly I don't know how to say the error accurately because I simply skipped Virtual Box due to that issue

These issues are simple configuration mishaps and can be fixed easily. Nat tends to do this, I use a bridged nic. There are also a few kernel values you modify to fix any "download errors". I have never experienced any issues like you are suggesting using virtual box.

I had issues building with less then 3 gig of memory. 512 might be too low. Might need at least 2 gig.

Those who want to install Sun Java JDK (Oracle) need to follow this tutorial:

Kernel Source
Hi,
I'm new to android development.
I know that every ROM will have a Linux kernel, but where does this kernel come from?
I googled it, but I still can't figure it out.
I'll just take a wild guess.
Is it from
1. The source that you git from? (Ex: AOSP, CM10, AOKP)
2. The kernel of the Linux OS? (Ex: This VM's Linux kernel)
and by the way, am I able to change the kernel myself? (Ex: 2.6.35 to 3.0.8)
Thanks!

You get the kernel source from your device manufacturer.

Don't have a mirror, but why don't you just download a Linux ISO and set it up for yourself? Should be smaller downloads the whole way, everything will be up to date, and you'll get invaluable learning experience.:

hey guys, im good java programmer but i dont have any idea about android
so i was wondering what are the benefits of learning android developments?
, will it be easy since i'm good java programmmer?
if that idea is good then what android books do you guys recommend for me?
I've seen Android (presumably honeycomb) running on notebook computers alongside windows 7 or vista basic, and now that I've freed my second partition I'd like to try either android our ubunto on it, and if JB our ICS are possible I'd love that since I love JB on the phone.
I run I3 with 4gb ram on an acer aspire.
is there any way to do this?
cheers, D

Nice one mate Trying now
As long as it is a 64 bit system It should work. Won't work on 32 bit system
Batcom2
There wasn't a version that was compatible with my laptop afaik , I'm fairly noob though.
I installed Ubuntu on the dual boot instead in the end as it looks potentially amazing even if simple things like wine or Skype Dont work (apparently this awesome style interface broke compatibility with many apps?)
I'd never tried Linux before so its an experience , and android is loosely based in a Linux kernel right?
Looking forward to the Ubuntu mobile os now

I have never used it but I have read favorable things written about Complete Linux Installer. It is not a Linux distro; instead, it is an app to help you get Linux installed on an Android device.

I am wondering if I can install multiple OS' on the Elephone P9000.
For example stock and Cyanogenmod and when I boot I can choose which OS I want to boot.
Is that possible?
Are you talking about multiboot?

Yes, I think that is the word for it.
It depends on whether the BootManager (or similar tool) has been ported to your phone.
And the multibooted ROM needs to support it.
More details here and here.
I purchased an A10e only to find the app I wanted to use the phone for is only compatible with 64bit android. As far as I can tell the phone has a 64 bit processor but 32 bit android. I am not really familiar with rooting and have recently "soft bricked" a phone that I was unable to figure out how to restore to normal.
Is there a simple guide to upgrading android on the phone?
No ?*?

After seeing Exynos 7870 get a 64bit vendor I'm thinking anything's possible
Try looking around the Exynos 7870 SoC to see if you can get some clues on how to get a 64bit vendor on this phone
XDA should be a good place to start

Dude, these messages were before the a10 got 64bit libs ported over. Of course now there are many 64bit ROMs.

Ok lol
does anyone know how to modify the stock os file running 32 to 64 bit please help? because there is no android version that supports 64bit released by samsung, so it has to be customized, i just need how and where to customize the latest rom version. The help is to install android with 64bit support when there is no version released by the manufacturer which is a silly answer. I think 64bit support but running on 32bit makes the phone run faster and svae batery, and 64bit on that phone may slow down your phone and only using some 64bit apps can be smooth. As for 64bit applications that require powerful processing, even if you can install them, you will have problems with lag and overload
