im not sure what you mean by android bios, but you could create a virtual device of your phone with the android-sdk and restore and install apps and data from a nandroid backup of your phone.
VMware emulates hardware for x86 and AMD64 virtual machines, which is a different architecture to ARM which is used on your phone, so you can't just load your phone image into a VM like that.
You can run an emulated android system with the SDK as mentioned or look at something like "Bluestacks" to run android apps on your PC.
I've a doubt. Why is it not possible to install any version of Android on Any Phone like computer installing windows, linux & mac?
Previously i'm Italian so sorry for bad english.
Hi guys, I'm new in this forum and I'd like to install Ubuntu Touch 14.10 (utopic) on my Nexus 4, but I'm confused
Before the utopic release there were 2 .zip (trusty-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip and trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip) and now in the "ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current" there is a tar.gz file.
Before of this I took the zips files, upload on CWM and install from there, but now? How how can I install the utopic-preinstalled-touch-i386.tar.gz?
I want install Ubuntu Touch as THE ONLY operative system, NO DUAL BOOT.
I use Windows and Android 4.3 (I read kitkat has problems with ubuntu touch).
Thanks a lot
I don't think there is a way to do it properly from Windows. The install instructions assume you're running a recent Ubuntu version on your PC.
However, you could try to install Ubuntu using the MultiROM Manager app, then delete Android and set Ubuntu as the default ROM in the recovery to skip the ROM selection screen. I can not guarantee you can boot into Ubuntu after deleting the Android ROM though.
Another way would be to run the desktop version of Ubuntu in a VM on your Windows machine and flash Ubuntu following the steps from the link above. Or you go a step further and setup your PC to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows.
EDIT: Sadly, the possibility to install Ubuntu using zip files was removed some time ago. They're using img files now which cannot be flashed using CWM.
On your Windows Machine, install Virtual Box. Inside Virtual Box install Ubuntu...
Run the Ubuntu installation inside VB to install Ubuntu For Devices on your Nexus 4. Follow the Wiki: http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

Unbelievable this is!
So many people will now not use it because they can't install it. It is such an extreme abnormal thing to install a different none mainstream operating system on your computer to flash the phone !
I was trying for 2 days now to install it but frustrations went out of control and I fist-punched the nexus 4 and as result a broken screen!
I will never ever again in my life even look at this OS!
(Sorry guys I'm so over frustrated!)
Hello there,
I'm having a problem. You can't call it problem, but I don't know how to.
I wanna to install Android x86 4.4 RC1 on our old computer, where is Windows Vista Home Basic installed.
The computer has got 25 GB free disk-space, so it wouldn't be a problem.
But I wanna have a DualOS, that means, I can select which OS the computer should start. I'll select between Windows Vista or Android.
Is there a solution?
Can anybody explain me how to install android os on virtual machine on my computer. So that i can easily use the android apps on my pc without using the emulator and i think this would work better. Please Help...
You may take advantage of BlueStacks.
My recommendation: BLISS OS ( dual boot solution )
Emulators - where it doesn't matter which one - are always only a stopgap solution. Because emulators share system resources with PC, a high-end PC is neded to more or less flawlessly run an emulator instance.
Hi Kajal,
I totally agree with all the other answers like you can easily install Bluestacks on your computer and can use android apps easily. But only things only thing in bluestack is that you have good amount of RAM so that the apps can run smoothly. But still if you want to install android Operating system on virtual machine then you can follow these steps:-
Download the android ISO file from android-x86 and then download Virtualbox and install it properly.
1. Now Open Virtualbox
2. Create Virtualbox a new virtual machine
3. Configure virtual machine RAM and Harddrive.
4. Now import the ISO file in the virtual machine and setup it properly.
5. Now Adjust your Video Memory allocated for the android virtual machine.
6. Now once your android machine is created, Click on Start.
7. It will start loading the android files and then select the harddrive where it will be installed.
8. Now wait for few minutes and it will be ready to RUN.
I know the process is little longer, that i have also attached the guide showing how to install Android OS properly.
