[Q] Setting up device specific emulators

Our company recently started allowing Android devices in our environment and I'm trying to create a good system for our support staff to be able to assist people over the phone with setup and troubleshooting. While I would ultimately like to have emulators for the devices in our environment that the support team can use, I would be happy to create screenshots through the device setup.
I've downloaded the Android SDKs/emulator and I've installed some device specific AVDs/skins, however I can only seem to emulate the vanilla Android experience. It's my understanding that simple things like e-mail configuration can vary if the device is running Motoblur or Sense. Is it possible to build AVDs that match the stock roms for devices like the Droid X and the MyTouch 4G. If not, is it possible to get good screenshots from devices running 2.1 - 2.3 that aren't rooted?
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

[Q] How to start Android App development

Hi all,
I want to start android application development. Can you suggest a low budget way of doing that?
Can any android supported cell phone can be used for App development or there are some restrictions in phones for Development? If yes, then i can buy any low series basic used android phone and do App development.
Do i need to root and ROM access any phone to develop, load and test application?
Where can i find Android application framework architecture and basics of application development documents/ articles? I know developer.android.com has it but it is not starting from broader level to micro level. It is just talking about specific issues and directly starting Hello World. But i want to study about android architecture and fundamentals before starting.
Thanks.
The android SDK comes with an emulator, so that will help on the phone aspect. You definitely want to be able to enable sideloading of apps (install non-market apps), I've heard some carriers disable this. Root can be helpful in many situations.
Assuming you know java and are familiar with Eclipse, you mainly need to learn about the Android API.

[Q] Mass Device Deployment

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone had any experience in mass device deployment? I am looking for a solution that would ideally allow me to create a device image from a reference device to then deploy to remaining devices (up to 100) of the same type. Ideally I would like to do this without the need to root the devices but at this point I will take any information I can.
Thanks!

[Q] Dream software config for Android Tablet ROM developers ?

Hello World ! I have identified a need for a smaller tablet and have begun the process to request information about how to have the hardware designed and manufactured. But as we all know, hardware is only half of the equation - the other half is the software. So I have a question for you:
What would the ideal software configuration for an Android-based LTE-enabled TABLET (with SIM card), suitable for ROM developers ?
I have (a little) previous experience (as an end-user) with replacing the manufacturer/carrier ROM for my HTC Desire with the CyanogenMod ROM. That, coupled with my years of experience as a developer (pre-Internet) allow me to at least be aware that there are layers of software from bootup, to device drivers, to OS, etc.
I would like this community to help define (or point me at some documentation) what those specific layers are, which package(s) should be used at each level, up to the point of being able to get into the Google Play Store.
I am not interested in which apps should be discussed - that's the end-user's problem.
Thanks,
Steven.
