[How-to] Test a rom in the wmulator?

Hey.
I have tried searching both Google and this forum, but with no luck.
I have just downloaded the latest cyanogen rom (not for the nexus1), but before flashing it to my phone, i would like to remove some of the apps that i never use, add some i need and also try and make my own animated splash screen.
But before i flashed it to my phone i would like to try it out in the emulator, just to check it for errors an such things. But I dont know how to get it to work in the emulater.
I have made and AVD with the follow command in the command prompt:
android create avd -n enhanced -t 8 (where 8 is the ID of the 1.6 target)
I know have a AVD that works, or atleast thats what i think.
I also have downloadet and installed the SDK
But if anyone can guide me to how i can test the latest cyanogen rom any help would be much apprieciated.
Per

I'm wondering the method too...

Ive also searched high and low for this and didn't find anything.
If anyone knows of a way to test ROMS please tell us how!!

There must be someone on this forum that knows how to load a custon rom in the emulator?

I got it working, a Hero ROM on the Android emulator

[Q] Is this wise?

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and when trying to put an apk into the system/apps folder I accidently the apps folder out of the system folder and now it dosn't start. It runs through the boot animation but then displays a black screen playing the force close vibration pattern. But it boots into recovery and download mode fine so I may as well try a factory reset. So I did and still the same. So now all I can do is flash a ROM. And the one that I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689310
Cannot be flashed by Odin but only CMW. So now I have to flash a new kernel to get CMW, This one:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-s-wi-fi-rj-custom-kernel-overclock-84994/
But is it wise to do this in the state my device is in? And also I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Can You help?

I dont have hardly any experience but from a general from a general idea/thought, why dont you flash the latest official rootable firmware from Samsung, thus succesfully rooting it, install CWM recovery, from there install the rom you were talking about

I know that is the sensible idea but i'm not a one for flashing roms or kernels as I get worried about bricking and I would prefer to do it all at once.

Buut yeah, factory resetting only wipes the /data & the /cache partition, if you don't have stuff in the /system partition it won't start.
Just go to your device's forum, follow the procedure and your phone will be running like butter again ^^

Its almost impossible to hardbrick a Samsung phone ;-)

I feel really silly asking this question cause i'm new to all this you see but what procedure?

Dosn't matter now. Fixed it by installing a different ROM

Help needed with Rooting Nexus S I9020T, Newbie

Hi,
I am using Nexus S since a year but now due to Google`s screw up in Jelly Bean (Wifi Issue) I have to root my phone to solve the problem as all the solutions are listed for rooted phone. I tried using the instructions on this forum but they all start with go to tools folder and all... but my question is how do I get tools folder and how to get Android SDK??!! I have no knowledge of rooting or any dev tools.. so.. can anyone please provide me a step by step guide to start with a scratch.. and not starting from an advanced level !!
btw.. I am using Jelly Bean.. (If it isn't obvious by now)
I would really appreciate the help!!
Thanks in advance!!
:good:

Hi,
I'm happy to help get you set up, but before you rush into playing with tools that can break your phone permanently, I'll provide you with some very worthwhile reading material.
Bugs in Jelly Bean
How-To Install Factory Images
Tutorial on getting a clean Jelly Bean Experience
Please make sure you read what you're getting yourself into BEFORE you do anything. Instructions to setup your SDKs follow. Good luck :good::
So first of all, you'll need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) so that the Android SDK can run properly.
- Get the Java JDK Here.
One this is installed, restart your PC.
Now, we're ready to grab the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). This contains the tools 'adb' and 'fastboot' which are used by root methods/tools to send commands to your device.
- Get the Android SDK Here.
Once this is installed, reboot your PC again (don't skip the reboots, it ensures all your file associations are set up properly :good.
Upon rebooting, launch the 'Android SDK Manager' (with Admin privileges). From here, you are able to download and install all of Google's packages, including versions of Android for an emulator, plus their tools and drivers.
At this point, you are interested only in four packages, as shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download and install these.
Now, in the folder where you installed the Android SDK, you will have a 'platform-tools' folder. This is the elusive 'tools' folder that people refer to
As far as root goes, I'm going to let you do a little reading first, as it's important you understand what you're doing before you attempt it. If you run into issues or need anything else, I'll stay subscribed to this thread.
Welcome to XDA, and best of luck!

Titanium Backup widgets not creating correctly

Anyone ever run into this problem with Titanium Backup?
I was able to add one widget but cant get another to show/work correctly.(see pic)
Any idea how to fix it? The only thing I've done to the system after creating the first shortcut (which works correctly) is activating Majiks systemless-ly, did this create my problem?

The latest build of Titanium Backup is from 2019 and moreover, it clearly says in the store: "Requires ROOT , Android 1.5-10 + (ARM, x86, MIPS)", not Android 13 and not ARMv8.2-A (64-bit).

Just didn't understand why it worked once and not again?
Does anyone have any suggestions for its replacement. I mainly want it for freezing stuff?

Any universal root that works on all phones? (Stuck rooting LG H486 KitKat)

I have exhausted every root method that might work for the LG486 and nothing works properly. The most I can get is super user appearing in the app list but not properly installed. It wasn’t a very common phone so it’s understandable that there is no working route.
My end goal is to edit edit build.prop, so that android 4.4.2 appears to apps to be android 6.0. I need to install a certain app on the phone.
All the options found via Google for root either do not work or lead to broken file links. I have also tried Universal options like Kingo Root and Androot but they don't work at all.
Is there any universal root that I could try which is supposed to work with any phone?
Or is anybody able to help me route this phone? I’m happy to pay for assistance. Thanks.

Simply editing build.prop doesn't help, IMO, because the files that make the Android OS ( read: libraries ) mostly changes from SDK version to SDK version, means apps compiled for Android 4.4.4 may not working properly on 4.4.4 onwards, and reverse.

Probably won't... but might. I'm open to other solutions if you have any.

Probably some pop ups will emerge if you fake that Android version...
And that app you wanted to change probably has some reason why it needs be that 6+ ...

Unfortunately this only half worked on the LG D486 (Wine Smart).
SU is installed but reports "There is no SU binary installed"... and RootChecker confirms not fully rooted. I can't edit root items such as build.prop.
However on the download boot screen, it did say in small red text, "ROOTED" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is anyone able to help fully root the LG D486?

Okay, you tested it already... maybe you should try it by hand then...
To see what's happening... lglaf.py might work if send_command.exe doesn't...
