I was wondering if anyone has tried the x86 android 1.6 port on their pc. Also, can we expect to see further development for this? Like custom ROMs, themes, and an online market of some sort? It seems awesome.
I don't know anything about but I'd like to hear about this too...
I've been able to get the froyo version to boot through Virtual PC just fine. The only problem I was having is the lag from manipulating the screens with my mouse or even anything that may require hardware acceleration. Its a great step in the right direction.. but at this time its only something to play with.

I tested it a couple of times, but it's ment for subnetbooks, not PC.
But if I'd find people interested to create a PC-Distro, I'm there...
I didn't even know they made one! o: Could someone link me towards the right information
There's some YouTube videos and stuff on it, it's pretty neat!

Hi Guys,
Slightly odd request. I'm planning on making a regular tech vlog/podcast and I definitely want to review android apps. I want the production level of this show to be high so I don't want to be filming my phone.
I've looked into using Android Screencast but the framerate is really low and almost unusable for review/how-to purposes. A recent post by Lifehacker showed how to run a emulated version of Android with market enabled. The latest version is only 1.6 however. I'd like to be able to review any android app so 2.1 is a must.
Does anyone know of a way I can run 2.1 with Market enabled whether this is through the standard SDK or something like virtualbox. SDK files or ROMs would be fine just as long as I can install apps and review them.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 Professional so a solution for either would be great.
Many Thanks
Grinboy
BUMP.
Could someone at least explain why this isn't possible?
Ok last bump and then I'll let this die. Can't believe no one has an answer.

I too would like to know this... I have been searching for a while tonight trying to find the answer (that's how I found this thread), but the only information I can find says to use the system.img file from a nandroid backup, but I haven't been able to make that work... It just boots to the android screen with the blinking cursor
only 1.6 for this time that can using market
Maybe if you grab some 2.1 firmware (nexus one, desire, G1 CM 5.0, etc) and put Vending.apk into your original system.img then, MAYBE, will be the Market application.
Why don't you invest in an HD camera and place it over your phone. Tons of professional sites do that. It gives it a more hands-on feel, IMO

I recently discovered this app at ubuntu forums, and was really hoping to use it on my computer, but it seems it's functionality broke in the 10.10 update to ubuntu.
also looking at the times and nature of the thread, I'm thinking that the original developer may have had other things come up and is no longer working on it. It is open sourced and was wondering if anyone else would consider picking it up for development, it seems it could be a really useful app!
Here's the source page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/android-tesla/
the thread i found it at on ubuntuforums is here

+1 loved this app, was great, upgrade to 10.10 broke it. Does anyone know why? Do the commands change?
Hi everyone, For the last two weeks I have been trying to develop my own custom Gingerbread + custom view sonic kernel.
Today I finally have them packaged into a update.zip file but it wont install due to status 6. Sadly I really have no clue if thats the last part I need to over come before I can install, or perhaps there is more than just that issue since the only tutorial I could find were dated / incorrect / incomplete / or written by someone who ate pain chips as a child.
So Really all I want is Gingerbread with com.android.future.usb.Accessory / Manager
AND (this is important also)
I also need the Viewsonic kernel to support the Prolific driver 2303 (this is in the menuconfig so it should be easy to add).
In addition, if anyone could please point me to resources when I can accurately learn how to build the OS / Kernel / update.zip file that would be wonderful. My head hurts so badly from reading all these broken english posts where the scrip examples are riddled with typos.
Oh also two weeks ago was the first time I ever saw Ubuntu (thats what im currently working on as well).
Thank you and sorry for the aggravated post but I seriously need help, my job is in the balance. Thanks Again
Anyone know of a rom that has these features already in them? Or perhaps a good couple of tutorials that will allow me to create my own? I dont want anything fancy just plain vanilla.

this is the thread i used to get me started compiling a module for pershoots kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916198
obviously run your own menuconfig somewhere in there (i think its in one of the steps) and turn on whatever you want. Also save the modules that you create as the default pershoot ones wont insert into your custom module at that point
[edit] there is a thread in the gtablet devel section for pershoots latest (i think 2.6.32.42) that may have this already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903505 [/edit]
Thanks for the links. I was able to pull the config file from Ginger 2.3.4 and it seems to have the required driver for the prolific usb to serial converter, although when I write a usb detection program and attempt to load it onto the tablet, well I get a missing shared library com.android.future.usb.
So now thats kind of odd because its 2.3.4 and Google specifically says it supports the library I need. So I guess what Im asking is there any Ginger or even honeycomb OS for the Gtablet that supports this?
Once again Thanks for a point in the correct direction.
Is there anyone I can communicate with directly in creating this? Ill be more than willing to donate my work so that it could be built upon. I just can not believe that this has not been added in yet.
Ive pushed android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml to /etc/permissions
and ive pushed the com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar to /system.framework
This seems to do absolutely nothing. Does anyone have a version with the USB accessory working for the G tablet? Or could anyone Communicate with me directly perhaps by IM? Thank you very much again.
So after some tweeking I can now get my program that requires com.android.future.usb.accessory although thats all it does. It wont detect the USB or use any USB features. Im sure im programing it wrong, although It detects USB drives and keyboards and such it will not detect my USB to serial Prolific cable.
Im trying to compile the kernel and install it but really, nothing works... Im typing commands I dont know what they mean, and i get responses like "Permission denied" so I use sudo on the command and get "not a valid command". So I didnt have permission at first, then once I did it wasnt a valid command? No wonder why ****ty old windows stomped ubuntu into the ground... I feel windows phone will destroy google if its this hard to develop a single app that I have on the IPHONE / WINDOWS PHONE / WINDOWS 7 but cant get it on android... WTF
Im just wondering how you successfully compile Gingerbread 2.3.4 and Leave out part of the MAJOR update. Why not just use 2.3.3?
Anyway Ive personally fixed that, although when i pull the kernel it shows the prolific driver is installed but there is no detection when I plug the cable in.. Nothing nadda. just like the replies to this post. Im guessing people dont have any problems at all with all the really bad tutorials out there and the lack of support even on this, a developer site, I cant even ask questions to the developers because I dont even have 10 posts yet. Also it just seems like the only thing people on this site is Over Clocking. It done matter if its a peice of ****, as long as its over clocked, Or some of the roms I installed and they are SO bad, but man they are over clocked... Or the roms that say they are 2.3.4 and happen to be 2.3.3. Or the ones that just wont install. How has android made it this far, its actually pretty bad, but then again im sure Im the only human with these problems, because I really cant find anything on the Internet after a good long while. I tough myself enough law to win a law suit against a company with high priced lawyers in less time than this is taking... And im no good at law at all.
Ok so I followed theses steps on you tube for dual booting CM7 and Webos and seems to be installed ok but when it reboots it goes straight into Webos and doesnt bring up the boot screen so you can pick whether u want Webos or CM7 has anyone else tried this with success and if so what could I be doing wrong? here's a copy of the YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sounds like you didn't install moboot
Here is the main page for CM7 there is a lot of troubleshooting steps here, you should probably just do it over using the instructions here, they were flawless.
Rootzwiki
Yep, I've put CM7 on mine and my G/F's TP...no issues.
Put three zips in a folder (CM7, Moboot and Clockwork Recovery)
Boot into USB mode, run the nova command.
It's simple as pie...I think you just missed that file/folder for moboot as said.
I just installed the Alpha2 version of CM7, using the youtube "idiots guide to CM7 install" or something like that. Had to search around for the zip files needed but it works almost flawlessly. By that I mean, it's responsive, looks like android, sort of, and doesn't seem to crash much. I know I have alot to learn about this exact "flavor" of Android, but it should be fun. And my webos is still intact.
here is the youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=feedwll&list=WL
OK, I've had a couple of days with this now, the only complaint/problem is the wifi connection doesn't seem to be as stable as the HP Webos side. I don't know what might be the specific issue, or what the cure might be, but reconnecting seems easy enough. The keyboard w/assist is awesome.
Adobe flash player says it is incompatible with this platform, any way to fix that?
I have downloaded and installed about 20 normal apps, including some live wallpapers, and they all work well. I am impressed with CM7 as an alternative to Webos
Thank You Cyanogenmod team.

You guys should try the Xron-ified Mod of the CM7 Alpha 3.
this is something I'm very much interested in and have been for a very long time, I also see many people interested in it but the only app I've found that allows this only works on Froyo and other older android versions.
I was just wondering if this is actually impossible or if I'm missing something.
hopefully if there's no way to currently do this someone will figure it out.
thanks in advance.
