Hi, I am trying to intall the android sdk on my work computer. When I am using the android sdk manager to attempt to download the various sdk components. It always fails with connection time out. I am not sure if it is the company firewall policies or not . But can i download the file one by one and add to the platform folder? Would copying an existing sdk install from home work? However I think there is a block on usb sticks on these office machines
Probably your work proxy - you need to configure the sdk to use that proxy. Try ping wpad and then use the resultant ip as your proxy ip in the sdk.
Literally? The command is punch wpad? That failed. My browser there is a pac file with loads of address in it . In a pac file what variable is likely to be the proxy?
Nvm when I was typing this I was trying random ips thanks. +rep

Attached is what was my missing link to full Android development in Windows.
1. For Android Java or C++ cpde I use Win + Eclipse + Android SDK+NDK
2. For Android System.img editing and building Entire Android system I use the following:
Developemnt Overview and purpose of this utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. You do not need to install anything on your windows
machine, if you like you can just copy it to a USB drive and
run it from there.
b. You can use this to build an entire android system and images,
or just modify system.img if you like.
1. Download QEMU for Windows. (google for it Aprox 3Mb)
2. Download QEMU Debian Image. (google for it Arox 150Mb)
3. Run QEMU and use aptitude to download g++, make and other
Android build requirements as mentioned on the dev site.
4. Build Android system or just edit system.img.
By transfering files to/from host windows system....
This is where this Utility is used as ftp'ing from
QEMU to the host system will not work with a regular
ftp server.
To transfer files from QEMU to Host do the following:
Windows: Run Ftpd.exe
QEMU: $ pftp 10.0.2.2 and log in as ian
Now you can use ftp command to send and recieve files to/from
QEMU and Windows.
5. Transfer system.img or entire adriod build image to Device and
follow device flashing procedure.

Download link: (4.0.4_r1.1)
http://www.vmlite.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=158&func=view&catid=9&id=8838
we have built a virtual machine from the latest Android ICS 4.0.1 source code, Ice Cream Sandwich. You can download it free from our site.
It's created for virtualbox and vmlite, but can be converted to vmware format.
Unique features:
(1) mouse integration with host, no more mouse trapping
(2) shared folders
(3) auto mount sdcard
This is the full readme:
/////////// readme file ////////
VMLite Android 4.0.1 ICS virtual machine instructions
Copyright 2011 VMLite Corporation
1. Setup the virtual machine
(1) Using Winrar or 7zip to extract the zip file to a folder.
(2) Start VMLite Workstation 4.2 beta or VirtualBox v4, then go to menu Machine > Add, select Android-v4.vbox file to add the vm, you should be able to then
start the virtual machine.
(3) if (2) is not working for you, you can create a new virtual machine using Machine > New VM... menu, choose Linux 2.6 as guest os, add the two vdi files using
IDE controller to the vm. Android-4.vdi as Master, and sdcard.vdi as slave.
2. Using the virtual machine
(1) Drag the lock using the mouse to enter the Android screen.
(2) sdcard is now automatically mounted, if for some reason that it does not work well, you can do it manually as follows:
open a command prompt, and enter these commands: (adb.exe is included in the zip file)
adb connect localhost
adb shell
mount -t vfat /dev/block/sdb /mnt/sdcard
after the above, you should be able to use the sd card, which has 8G size.
If you can't connect using adb, and you are using NAT as network adapter, you need to run the following command:
VBoxManage modifyvm Android-v4 --natpf1 adb,tcp,*,5555,*,5555
If you are using bridged network adpater, you need to use the ip address of your vm to connect, e.g.
adb connect 192.168.1.10
If you have problems connecting to the vm, execute the following commands:
adb kill-server
adb shell
(3) Use shared folders to copy files between vm and host. This build includes shared folders additions, you can use the following commands to mount
the share.
adb kill-server
adb shell
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/c_drive
mount.vboxsf c_drive /mnt/sdcard/c_drive
ls /mnt/sdcard/c_drive
assume you have added a shared folder to the vm named as c_drive. You can ignore the error message from mount.vboxsf.
will continue to add more full screen, dynamic display resolution, emulations, such as GPS, Camera, remoting, etc.
We are determined to make it the best android vm and virtual phone you can even find.
We will also make it to boot a physical pc using the same virtual disk file via our unique VBoot technology, so same file can run as virtual as well as physical.
And what would be your website?

let me have a try!
yes, it's a bug we are fixing. the mouse moves inside 800x600 while display is 1024x768.
if you see this, try to reboot the vm.
if still like this, you can then disable mouse integration from menu.

Android 4.0.1 ICS questions
Hi,
I do hope someone can assist me. I downloaded the .7z file, extracted and mounted the .vbox in VirtualBox v4.1.8. All good, it booted up perfectly but problems that arose are as follows:
1: no matter WHAT configuration I choose for networking I simply cannot get the VM to browse any webpages or even to see that there is a network connection. I do see briefly in the bootup that eth0 is loading though, so not sure where to look now as I cannot use ALT-F1 to get to a root shell to do a netcfg to diagnose. When booting the network indicator on the status bar of VBox shows activity, also once it is up and running but no internet access whatsoever.
2: I have noticed I cannot change the time, it defaults to whatever it was when it booted up, that is if the time says 13:20 when it booted up, I cannot change the hour to anything else. if I click set, it just reverts back to 13: or whichever hour digit was there before. Also, clock does not seem to run in this VM. Both the desktop clock and the digital clock on the status bar of Android stay at whatever time it was when it booted up, say 14:20. that is where it will stay, it never updates/moves/keeps time. In the settings page, it seems to be keeping time however.
If there is anyone who can assist me with these issues I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
i get an error at boot...
Code:
init: Timed out waiting for /dev/.cp;dboot_done
Kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init!
atkbd.c: Spurious ACK is isa 0060/serio0.Some programmight be trying to access hardware directly.
Is there any way to install more Apps?
Have send me one per mail but no way to install...
It works, but internet is only in the browser. And it still says that wifi isn't working.
By the way, I'm missing the market thats available in other android4.0 versions for X86:
http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list
But these versions don't have internet at all, unless your doing some tricks that are explained here:
http://nil.uniza.sk/linux-howto/android-40-virtualbox-networking-issues
But keep on the good working
This is great! The only problem i am having is there is no Wifi avaiable. Also, if i may ask, how can i download apps to it? I have the apk files of the apps so i dont need a market either thanks!

Have you had any luck figuring out what was causing this? I'm having the same problem. I've tried different chipset, processor, and acceleration settings. None of which have worked.

Hello, elspanish88! Two ways to fix this problem.
1. Double click on VirtualBOX and start your vm, then when you are logged on to Android, click on machine, at the top left corner, then click Disable Mouse Integration. Then you can move freely, around the screen.
2. The easy easy easy way! Type (Right Ctrl+I) .. there you have it!

Set up ADB ( android debug bridge) on the computer.
Install drivers for device.
Plug device in through usb - allow to identify and install.
Safely eject device.
Enable usb debugging on device and allow non-market install, then plug back into computer.
Open terminal window, navigate to where adb is ( if not set to global call)
Type:
adb devices
...and hit enter. Should show device as connected and start adbd. ( android debug bridge deamon)
Next type:
adb install app.apk
... and hit enter.
app.apk = name of app.
assumes you are in the directory where the. apk file is located when you execute the command.

You can find the drivers here.
The ADB tool is installed as part of the Android SDK.

It's always good to see new aspiring developers!
The answers you seek are here, here and here - as well as on the individual manufacturers websites of the specific devices and other android resources online.
What you want to do requires a level of technical knowledge and learning that will take time, patience and more then a little frustration. Wizardry, they used to call it.
There is no 5 minute solution, your best bet would be to install the android sdk and java jdk, start learning how to use them, and install and learn linux if you aren't already using it.
What you want is what most of us want, and what we are here learning to do - welcome to the journey, it's certainly an exciting one!
Why don't you copy your apk to your sd card then use appinstaller from googleplay to install them? You can manually take out your sd card, plug into your pc, copy then plug sd card back to your phone OR download "Myphoneexplorer client" from googleplay to your phone, also download it to your pc, now you can transfer files wirelessly from your computer to your phone.
This is a guide to setting up Windows Kits on Windows 8.1 RT. While it itself is a set of debugging & testing tools that Microsoft publishes officially for Windows 8.1 RT, I haven't looked at them in detail and possibly there are tools in it that are useful for you.
Mandatory Warning
This is a set of development tools and should not be toyed around with if you don't know what you are doing.
Disclaimer
These tools were provided by Microsoft Corporation and this guide only points you out to the tools I've found.
There is no warranty, express or implied for these tools, either from me or from Microsoft.
Includes
ARM Kits Policy (Needed to run development binaries on Windows 8.1 RT) Info here (MSDN)]
ARM Debugging Tools (WinDbg, Gflags) Download here (Source)
ARM App Certification Kit Info and Download here
ARM Windows Performance Toolkit (included with above)
Guide
Make sure you are sane enough and you need to install these.
Download the ARM Windows App Certification Kit (third in the list above) and install.
Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\arm\SecureBoot. Open InstallKitsPolicy.cmd with an Admin CMD Prompt.
This will install the Kits Policy (other tools will not work without this). After rebooting, use Volume Down to select "Install" in the black screen that appears, and press the Windows button on your RT Device to proceed.
After it boots, try to run C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\arm\dxcapsviewer.exe and see if it runs. If it does, your Kits Policy is now installed. Download the ARM Debugging Tools from above.
Install it. It'll also install to C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1. The Debugger is located at \Debuggers, other useful binaries are around in \bin\arm. They also install Start Menu entries.
Notes
If the Kits Policy fails to install (black screen does not show up on next boot), try running the commands manually in an elevated command prompt. It failed to work for me in the first few tries, maybe due to a repeated command in the .bat file provided by MS. Running it manually should allow you to ignore that error.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and I am trying to find drivers to access an rca rct6703w13
I have tried every driver I can find and nothing seems to work does anyone know something that will work?
I would be very grateful if anyone could help?
Thank You
Oh boy, I still remember this pain trying to find and use such drivers on Windoze:
- try another port
- try another cable
- try this driver or that one
- try doing a rain dance with 3 days old undies on your head, and turn only clock wise, unless it's full moon, then turn counter clockwise but stop briefly after ever two and a half turns
Maybe, as workaround, you could boot from a linux CD and try your approach from there.
Whenever I flash from my debian, it works: If "fastboot devices" still doesn't show anything then usually I have forgotten to plugin the cable
By using my "Yet Another Universal ADB Driver" Package (see the link in my signature) one can remove all the old adb drivers if that is the issue, but this case seems to be more interesting...
On win10 it seems that the adb is embedded to the winusb driver the same or similar way (registry wise) that my package is using. Now that I have tested, the behavior is similar with my devices. When using file transfer connection the adb is not recognized. With others, charging, photo, midi the abd works fine. To make adb work with file transfer one have to install the correct driver. In this case google's general driver could be okay, one match for vendor and product ids in it ...
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/usb_driver_r13-windows.zip
What I tested using virtual win7 64bit, it seems to behave the same way... which is a bit weird as I've tested it with my driver package. Worked okay then I think. The Android device used has changed since though.. It worked on win10 back then too.. the change has to have happened later.. or I didn't use file transfer..
@steadfasterX 's maid or salt or whatever it's called nowadays might be usable in this case. It's a Linux having SP flash tool etc. available..
edit: tested and it turned out that the updated phone is the problem... using another phone my driver package worked as expected..
@resxwni01
1. Don't confuse USB-driver and ADB-driver: the USB-driver since ever is by default part of any OS, so also of Windows OS. The ADB-driver is an extra protocol what allows you to communicate with a phone's Android ecosystem via an USB-connection.
2. Latest generic ADB-driver ( correct: ADB client ) got released August 2022 and is officially versioned 33.0.3.
3. AFAIK a 64-bit version of ADB-driver doesn't exist.
With regards to install this ADB-driver on a Windows 7,8.1,10,11 PC:
It's NO USB-driver installer - as introduced above by @CXZa - needed what unnecessarily bloats the Windows registry with crap.
You
1. simply create on any mounted drive of Windows PC a folder named "ADB",
2. extract there to the 3 files what are in the attached ZIP file,
3. add path of created folder "ADB" to Windows environment variable PATH, thus ADB-driver is systemwide accessible -
how to is described here
How to Set the Path and Environment Variables in Windows
Information on how to set the path and environment variables in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
