Hi, I chromefied my Lenovo W550s using project brunch last night, and felt very excited.
Can I run multiple Android app instance on chromebook, just I ran multiple android emulator instance on Windows?
Thanks.

Saw this article on a Winu Newsletter the other day, if anyone is interested.
What if you want to go the other way around with emulation and run your favorite Android apps on your PC? Well, you can do that too. BlueStacks' App Player is a program that you install on XP, Vista or Windows 7 and then you can run Android apps on it. Over a million people downloaded and installed the alpha version, but the latest version (beta-1) runs many more apps and it's also a free download. Some major companies apparently see the potential for App Player to be a hit, as Qualcomm just recently joined Citrix, AMD and others as an investor in BlueStacks.

This brings up an interesting idea. What if you ran windows arm on your tablet then used that to run this and used this to run windows arm again and so on. Appception?

Android apps are java apps so theoretically multi-OS. Some of them need some specific Linux libraries to run. That's probably the goal of this app.
Like Wine in Linux that converts windowsAPI calls in Linux API calls..
Hi all,
First sorry for my bad english, it's not my main language
As the port of Android on WP isn't started yet..
I was wondering if an emulator for android app can be develloped for WP.
An android app emulator is working on blackberry playbook, and on windows too
So it can works on any other device
Not to launch goergoes 3d game, but only for app like magazine, steam app, and such more
=)
nope,and never will
Hope there will be one soon

Maybe on WP8 but not on what we do know so far
How about buying an Android phone if you so desperately need or want to run Android apps. You obviously own the wrong phone.
you can only install from marketplace slow immitation of android. nothing better, sorry =(
You will never be able to run Android apps on Windows Phone. WP is so locked down that it will never be possible. For one Android is Linux based.
How do you explain Gameboy emulators then?

The Nintendo Gameboy ran on Unix, and someone built an emulator for it for Windows Phone.
If it's possible to build something that emulates Unix, it's possible to build something that emulates Linux, and so it is possible to build something that emulates Android.
Please look at Purple Cherry X, how did they manage to emulate Gameboy roms on Windows Phone?
Also, BlueStack was written in C#, and Windows Phone apps are written in C#. See where I'm going with this?
since there's an android emulator on the Blackberry, I think that it IS possible to do this.
I did some research and this is what I believe it would be:
apps written for UT (developed with QML)
any linux binaries, given that they are compiled for ARM and that corresponding non-kernel libraries or services that are being used are present in UT
QEMU will help out for x86 versions
android apps: can be run if someone writes an emulator for UT (probably not developed by Canonical)
otherwise there will probably be a way to easily port android apps to UT
windows software: the ARM versions (WinRT) should be able to be run with the ARM version of Wine
for x86 versions QEMU can emulate the x86 environment for the x86 version of Wine to run the software
windows phone: not sure
OSX: through a virtual machine running OSX on top of QEMU
iOS: seems unlikely at the moment
Theoretically UT will be able to run A LOT of software... however, for the non-android and non-UT software it will depend on QEMU, Wine and the hardware of the phone. I'm confident about the hardware part (phones are getting more powerful by the day) and therefore believe that we'll be getting a powerful desktop with a vast selection of software to run when having connected the UT phone to a dock with screen and input devices.
The question for what apps UT can run seem to pop up quite a lot so making this a sticky thread might be a good idea...
I'm not 100% sure about the statements I made above so please do give feedback and suggestions for additional info.
Win8 apps? What?

Well, I guess maybe it should read this:
win8 software compiled for ARM (which should be WinRT software...?) can be emulated with Wine
I'm not too sure about win8 phone apps... suggestions?
It's entirely possible to run x86 windows applications on ARM, see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258506
And the official site
http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
Note that WINE Is Not an Emulator. It just provides an environment that allows windows applications to run on Linux and X.
To get x86 applications to work on ARM you need an emulator, which what qemu is. And the above links are about using Wine and qemu together.

You're absolutely right... Wine isn't an emulator technically speaking. As I got to know it's also in the name! (WINE stands for: Wine Is Not an Emulator)
Haven't heard about qemu... good to know!
Thanks for the info, I'll update that!
Why develop "bluestacks" for cyanogenmod modification stripped from dalvikVM? Couldn't one just reimplement it in some way?
I uninstalled Ubuntu Touch from my N7 because there were no apps
You don't want to use Wine and all that stuff on a mobile environment, not even if it's docked.. It's not that easy as installing Wine for ARM, or supposedly on an Intel atom powered phone. You want applications that are breed for Ubuntu and Ubuntu only, honestly, you guys ran Windows apps on Wine before and you know it's a real pain (and this is on desktop, imagine on a smartphone)..
Don't get me wrong, it's totally possible but by the time you get all this working and configured you're better off learning QML and making the program from scratch.
So my ancient 1st gen iPad is finally about to die and I've been considering getting an x86 Android tablet. Since Android is written in Java and runs in a VM, I expected x86 to just allow me the option of running more native x86 Linux packages as well as any Android app I want. However, I'm noticing a lot of lists like this one that list all the apps that do and don't work with x86.
Why is that? Does x86 not have a dalvik VM and can only use the NDK or something?
So I'm learning how to code python in a class I'm taking, and in the description I remember it said it was multiplatform and supports multiple OS like windows, Mac, Linux, android. And im wondering how python can be used for android?
Like can I developed apps or games just using python? Any pros or cons with programing with python for android?
Sl4a provides support for Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript (Rhino). In regards to python, you can try out app development with Kivy and sl4a. I'm none too sure about performance though.

I heard, pygame can be used on android
