Android system dump - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 !

[Q] [IDEA] Dual-Boot

I am waiting for my Archos 70 to come in. It should be here the 6th. and I was just wondering would it be possible to dual-boot windows on it? Sorry if it sounds stupid but this is my first tablet and just wondered if it would be possible.
and the reason why i would like it is because I would love to run android as the main platform but would also love to be able to run certain programs like Rosetta Stone while I'm on the go.
Not until the ARM version of Windows becomes available. You might be able to CE but I haven't seen anyone do that yet. You will also need to install the SDE to dual boot.
sorry to sound noobish but what is sde and CE?

SDE is the "Special Developers Edition" of the Achos Firmware. You install it on your Archos & it will let you boot into a developer's menu which you can use to boot into other operating systems (at this point, Linux Based stuff including Android).
CE is the old-school embedable version of Windows that was used on PDAs & stuff 10 years ago. It is the precursor to Windows Mobile. It is still used in some cash registers & other specialty machines. Maybe you could manage to install it on your Archos...you won't be happy!
If I do use windows i will only use it when I want to use Rosetta Stone if it's compatible. But if we can do that we can switch between android and windows whenever we want?
NOOOOO.
You could only install Windows CE if ever.
And that is not a PC Windows.

[Q] dual-booting android 2.2 or higher on my W7HP laptop?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, running Windows 7 Home Premium (dual core 1st gen i3).
Recent events have made me need to run android-only programs on a semi-daily basis. Combined with the cool factor, I am seriously considering buying a Honeycomb tablet. However, money is limited and I can't really afford it, so I would most likely wind up with a rooted nook color, or just upgrading my phone (LG Vortex). Not terrible options, but my sister has suggested something that would work just as well, if not better, for free.
I know there's at least some version of android that is compatible with x86 processors, and i could get my laptop to dual-boot W7HP and Android, that would be wonderful. Obviously I would want 3.0 Honeycomb, but I would be willing to install 2.4, 2.3, or 2.2. if something newer is not available.
The problem is, I have scoured google and found nothing about this, at all. I have heard of people installing android on their laptops, and some netbooks/laptops are even sold dual-booting, so I know its possible. Now, how on earth would I go about installing android as a secondary OS on my computer? So far I have only been able to find instructions to create an Android Live CD/SD/flash drive, but i need something permanently on my computer, where i can actually save my work and apps to the hard drive. WiFi, keyboard, trackpad, and USB drivers are required, CD and SD would be greatly appreciated as well.
How would i accomplish this? Any and all help would be massively appreciated.
um, hello? anyone?
Yeah thats because only google has a bootable version of their os on a pc. They implement their virtual tool with sdk tool so thats how they want you do it its crazy..There is probably a way though you just have to modify the boot.ini file on your hard drive thus pointing it to the android os. First youll probably need a new hard drive if it can be done on a usb it can be done on a hard drive plain and simple. Dual booting is done through the bios. The bios is what loads the HD which loads the boot.ini file telling it what to boot. Not sure if that would work but its a start there might even be a windows app that will help you do this. Like I said if people are making bootable usb drives its the same process on a hard drive the bios is whats booting that usb so if you direct the bios to an extended hard drive thus booting the android os. Its the same process as it would be on a usb that would make it permanent and there is a program called EasyBCD which easily allows you to change the boot.ini which will basically allow you to have the selection of both operating systems on boot you can choose between the two once you get it working!
Actually it is so much easier. The Android x86 project uses grub. You can boot it and run from livecd, usb or install android to your home pc. I started doin this today to see what the performance benefits would be from a developer point of view.
Installation is pretty straight forward, with loads of tutorials on the website. Have a look at it here http://www.android-x86.org/
I have installed Prime OS classic 0.4.5 works fine on my L505-LS5014

[Q] Connect Prime to Linux (Ubuntu) via USB

Hi everyone
Sorry if this has been asked before, to my surprise I didn't find anything:
Is there a easy way to connect the tf201 to Linux, in my case Ubuntu?
Thank you for your help!
I'm sort of wondering the same thing. For that mater can you boot anything from usb? ( other linux distro's etc) or a win xp live.

This might help: https://sites.google.com/site/insta...g-ubuntu/connect-android-3-0-and-up-to-ubuntu - this used the Galaxy Nexus as an example, but it should be the same for the Prime.
The issue is that these devices use MTP rather than simply exporting the filesystem. There are various reasons why google decided to use MTP rather than simply USB Mass Storage, which you can google if interested. The end result for us Linux users is it is a pain
The above does work though. I used the more complex to set up option 2, but it is not that complex.
Hope this helps.

Android 8.1.0 on FUSION5 - No Touchpad

Hi Guys,
I've searched the rest of the forums but haven't found an answer. I installed Android 8.1.0 onto a FUSION5 Win 10 Tablet, everything is working fine apart from the toucscreen.
This is only my second attempt at this so be gentle.
I wiped the drive from a windows and created a partition via the command promt then installed Android via a USB Stick. As I said Android is running apart from touchpad capability, can someone direct me to a post or tell me how to get the touchscreen working.
Thanks and sorry if it is a repetitve request.
Jay
