Another QEMU and BOCHS ports for android

Here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=172093 and here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=169480 I've posted my own ports of QEMU and BOCHS emulators for android. Pages are in russian.
Both builds are tested on HTC Desire. May run on android 1.6+, but lots of RAM is a requirement. Need VGA+ screens, otherwise text would be unreadable.
Direct links:
http://rapidshare.com/files/393889645/BOCHS_arm_android.rar
Mod Edit: No Windows images allowed
Installation:
1. install APK from archive
2. copy SDL directory from archive to the root of storage card
3. run. If it don't run - look into ADB log. And don't ask me for help.
BOCHS is too slow to be useable, but very stable.
QEMU is really fast - but buggy. SB16 emulation is working, but no MIDI music. FPU emulation is incorrect/incomplete, so it may cause some programs not to run or behave strangely. Network is not working. Keyboard/mouse emulation is far from perfect.
Windows 9x would work in QEMU if you'll disable 32-bit disk drivers in it. This is a bug in Android (pread/pwrite functions are not working). Windows 9x speed is really fast.
This QEMU build is based on 0.9.1, newer versions have bugs in ARM TCG and can't boot Windows or similar OS.
I would not continue working on these 2 projects. If anyone is interested - I'll provide all sources and some information on building. Knowledge of C++, ARM and x86 asm is required.
Added:
Here: http://rapidshare.com/files/394622580/qemu-0.9.1-28may.rar are QEMU sources. To build them you'll need SDL (http://rapidshare.com/files/392358441/SDL-1.2.14-28may.rar and http://rapidshare.com/files/392358604/SDL-java_part-28may.rar - native and java parts) and GCC 3.4.6 (http://rapidshare.com/files/392357170/android-gcc-346.rar). Newer GCC nor NDK cannot be used to build QEMU 0.9.1. This GCC archive already contains a prebuilt SDL library.
Compiler and my SDL port are discussed here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=172092
After compiling QEMU you'll need to copy i386-softmmu\qemu as SDLapp\libs\armeabi\libnativeapp.so in the java part of SDL project, then recompile java part.
GCC installation: first install CygWin, then extract archive to /android directory in CygWin, then add its 'bin' directory to CygWin path like this: export PATH=/android/bin:$PATH
To build projects just cd to directory with sources and "make". Java part of SDL is a normal Eclipse project.

Nice work and thanks... but why won't you continue with this project?

Just tested the QEMU build on my Desire... WOW! Windows 95 is running really fast... I think you or someone else should continue with this project...
Just imagine getting network connection running... we could use vnc to connect to the machine from a remote computer!

Any chance of some different mirrors? Rapid**** hates me...

I tested the 98 version.
it says that the harddrive is not fat32 formatten.
and thasn a russian dos version.
does someone have the 95 version and upload to megaupload.

Couldnt you just install vnc on the phone?

what can i say?
I'm freakin amazed!!
qemu works flawlessly, great work.

Added sources to the first post.
To compile them you'll need CygWin and my compiled version of GCC 3.4.6. Compilers from NDK cannot be used.

This is wonderful! My nexus runs 95 better than my old 386sx33 that I used to waste countless hours playing doom on a local bbs.
thanks!

pretty freaking cool

Windows 95 runs smooth as butter after about 5 mins of use. Surprisingly fast!
It's brilliant!

What, no solitaire?

I read a post similar to this somewhere (cannot even remember which forum!) and the guy had posted windows 95 and windows 98 images in russian and english.
Does anyone recall seeing this anywhere? I'd like to snag a pre-packaged windows 98 image to play with on my android

To answer my own question, I found the link.
This post gives English images of both 95 and 98 ready to go...

Did someone try BOCHS build on Froyo? It should be running much faster...

How to boot Windows 98 and Windows ME
1. Download the tool Winimage
2. Download VMWare and create a clean Windows 98 or Me on a partition like 600MB
3. Open the file c.img from mamaich's folder in Winimage. Extract the whole image to a new folder and skip the files with error messages.
4. In Winimage click on Disk => Convert Hirtual Hard Disk image. Select the vhd from VMWare you created. Select: Convert to ima.
5. Rename the new image from .ima to .img.
6. Open the .img in Winimage. Drag and drop the folder "3" and all the files from the root folder from the extracted c.img to your image. don't overwrite files when he asks you, because i didn't try to find out which of the original files from mamaich are really needed.
7. Save the image, copy and overwrite the original c.img from mamaich.
8. Start libSDL and have fun with Win98 or ME. But you should know: Compared to Win95, it's really slow.
You can use other languages from Windows too now!
Chears!

[GUIDE] How to decompile an apk <updated w/ guide><updated with compiling>
How to decompile an .APK:​
Step 1:
Download >>This<< this is a tool for decompiling an .apk (i take no credit for this tool i did not make it i cant remember where i got it but the credit goes to the maker)
Step 2:
Now go to your C:\ directory create a new folder (doesnt matter what you name it) now extract the apk_manager to the folder that you created.
Step 3:
Download: >>This<< and also >>This<<
(whatever you are using 7zip or winrar, go into settings and integration and check the .BZ2 file extension)
Step 4:
Extract both files to the other folder in apk_manager
Step 5:
Plug your phone into your computer and pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your /system/framework/ directory and place both files in the other folder
Step 6:
open up command prompt and enter
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if framework-res.apk
Step 7:
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Step 8:
now grab the apk that you want to decompile and place it in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Step 9:
open script now enter 22 into command press enter, press corresponding number for your apk for ex. 1 then press enter, now press 9 then enter... APK should now be decompiling (decompiled apk should be in the projects folder)
[size=+2]Compiling[/size]
You do nearly the same thing for compiling an apk press 22 and enter to select what project you want to do, then 11; your apk should be compiled
Let me know if anyone has any problems with this

I like how you were excited enough to post about making a post later.

Lol I was going to do it then but I got sidetracked...

alos note you will have to delete the resourace arsc out of the apk u decompled and let the apk tool recompile a new one.. espcaly so if using a apk from a diffrent phone

Yeah I replaced the res directory, the manifest and the resources file with the one that apk tool compiled... I hadn't seen this post until I had already tried another method... Wife sprained her ankle so I won't have the time to try it for a couple of days.
Can I add a color to the colors.xml file the point to it in the styles.xml item?

how do I get the xml to stick when changing colors.xml in the value folder? When you get to the step to delete from the "keep" folder the value folders aren't there, they are hidden.

Like I said everything seems to decompile correctly but still I don't like errors
EDIT:
In the end I downloaded apktool by itself and it ran without any errors. Don't know what happened there..

when trying to preform step 6 i get the msg " 'java' not recognized as and internal or external command operable program or batch file."
read on a post in a diff forum that java2sdk was needed so i installed this and still getting the same command error...
what am i doing wrong?

Can this be used to translate system menus?

I use apk multi tool, myself, but whichever tool you use just be sure to have the latest adb and Java sdk installed.

Apktool if ~pathtotwframework-res.apk
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I use apktool. It works on all platforms and it it uses a later bug free version. Apk manager is a big batch file that uses an old extremely buggy edition of apktool Yes all decompile tools are based on smali, baksmali, and apktool. In fact apktool requires Smali and baksmali to decompile classes.dex and odex files.
The steps to use apktool are.
1. Download apktool(Google it)
2. palace it in an apktool folder on your desktop or somewhere.
3. Download any thing else on the website.for your OS.
4. Unzip everything and add them to your folder. Add the folder to your path or CD to it every time
5. Run terminal or CMD
6.TYPE
apktool if (path to framework Res.apk)
Apktool if (path to twframework Res.apk)
(Now you never will have to worry about dependencies unless you have a new from)
Apktool d apkorjarfile output folder
(Example....
.. apktool d /users/airfluip/desktop/Settings.apk /users/airfluip/desktop/decompiledsettings )
Now it shows progress. It may take some time.
If you get PNG errors, it will still decompile, but copy the original drawable-hdpi folder Into the decompiled one after decompile
Next make changes
Next
Apktool b /foldertodecompiled.
You should have the apk in the "apk" folder in the decompile folder

so i added java to the path but now i get a pop up java has experianced an error and has to close... what am i doing wrong?
also i have some friends who are using apkmanager just fine and have never put anything in there PATH variable. why is it that they can use apkmanager with no errors and im getting alot?

This is a problem with your system and java not getting along. ensure you have the latest edition of java installed. If so uninstall it and get a fresh download from the java Website
If the problem persists...um ahhhhh back up your important data and do a system restore? or ask someone else I'm not an i.t. Expert but a fresh start is always nice....

Hi guys
I need your help.
I'm adding Hebrew support to Valhalla Final.
I was able to decompile all files using APKTOOL like you explained
Added all files RES\Values-IW (with strings taken from SGS-i9000 ROM)
but I get error while trying to re-compile these files :
* Browser
* Contacts
* Framework-res
* Street
* Talk2
* Touchwizcalendar
* Tweaks
Also all the APKs that I successfully recompiled - do not work and not appear in the phone and cause Force Close when I launch them.

[GUIDE] Deodexing APKs Manually and with xUltimate

Manually Deodexing (Windows/Linux/OSX)
Let's start first with deodexing manually in order to learn about how the whole process works. Deodexing manually can be very useful if you only want to deodex a couple apks, or if some apks are giving tools such as xUltimate trouble. So here's what you'll need:
Basic knowledge of odex vs. deodex... READ THIS
Smali/baksmali installed correctly (if you are on Linux/OSX you can get the wrapper script as well, otherwise just use the .jars)
Java JRE installed correctly
The apks you want to deodex
ALL of the files in /system/framework from your ROM
This is also an excellent read for understanding the process of deodexing an apk
The first thing we want to do is find the bootclasspath for the ROM you are using. You will have to get the file /init.rc from your phone in some way; if you prefer using root explorer then use root explorer to copy it to your sd card, I prefer using adb. Once you have init.rc on your computer, open it up in a text editor. Search for the line that begins with "export BOOTCLASSPATH" and copy the rest of the line. It should look like this:
Code:
/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework-ext.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/filterfw.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.android.widget.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar:/system/framework/kafdex.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar
The bootclasspath is simply a list of dependencies that the system apps need to run - i.e. jars/apks that contain code that the system apps use. It is necessary to have the correct bootclasspath when deodexing.
Now that we have the bootclasspath we can start to set up for the actual deodexing. All the files listed in the bootclasspath are found in /system/framework, so grab all the jars/apks in /system/framework from your ROM (adb pull them or take them from the flashable zip if available) and put them in a folder named "framework" somewhere that you can remember, such as your desktop or at the root of your hard drive (i.e. C:\framework). We will use the bootclasspath to find all the files in this folder that are needed to deodex the apps properly.
Now we have to modify the bootclasspath in order to get the baksmali command to work correctly. The current bootclasspath that we have is saying that all the frameworks are in the /system/framework folder of your computer, but most of you have the frameworks somewhere like C:\framework or /home/me/framework. So open your text editor again and paste the current bootclasspath. Hopefully your editor will have a find/replace function; if so, just keep replacing all instances of "/system/framework" with the path to your frameworks. For example, this is what it would look like if your frameworks are in C:\framework:
Code:
C:\framework\core.jar:C:\framework\core-junit.jar:C:\framework\bouncycastle.jar:C:\framework\ext.jar:C:\framework\framework.jar:C:\framework\framework-ext.jar:C:\framework\android.policy.jar:C:\framework\services.jar:C:\framework\apache-xml.jar:C:\framework\filterfw.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.android.widget.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar:C:\framework\kafdex.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar
Finally we are ready to actually deodex the apks. Place the apks and odex's (odexes?) you want to deodex anywhere... your desktop, a folder somewhere, the root of your hard drive... it does not matter. Place the smali/baksmali .jar's in the same directory as the apps you wish to deodex. Open up a command prompt/terminal/etc and "cd" to the directory that the .apk's are in. For example if they are in C:\apps_to_deodex then I would type
Code:
cd C:\apps_to_deodex
The process for deodexing is a little dance like this:
Use baksmali to decompile the .odex file to smali
Use smali to compile the .smali files to a .dex
Use an archive manager (ex. 7zip) to put the newly created .dex file into the original .apk
Delete the old .odex file and all the decompiled smali.
So, let's begin.
BAKSMALI
Since baksmali/smali are .jar's, we will be using java to execute them. The syntax for the baksmali command is something like this:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -a [COLOR="Red"]api_level[/COLOR] -c [COLOR="red"]bootclasspath[/COLOR] -x [COLOR="red"]file.odex[/COLOR]
The -a argument is not necessary with ICS. If you are on GB then you must use "-a 10" in order for it to deodex properly.
The bootclasspath is the bootclasspath that we determined earlier
The file.odex is, of course, the name of the odex file you want to decompile.
So let's say I want to decompile abc.odex, which was built for ICS. The command would be:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c C:\framework\core.jar:C:\framework\core-junit.jar:C:\framework\bouncycastle.jar:C:\framework\ext.jar:C:\framework\framework.jar:C:\framework\framework-ext.jar:C:\framework\android.policy.jar:C:\framework\services.jar:C:\framework\apache-xml.jar:C:\framework\filterfw.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.android.widget.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar:C:\framework\kafdex.jar:C:\framework\com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar -x abc.odex
This command creates a directory called "out" containing the decompiled odex file.
SMALI
Now that we have "baksmalid" the odex file, we now need to "smali" it to turn the .smali code into the .dex format. The syntax for this command is something like this:
Code:
java -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
We are calling the newly generated file "classes.dex" because that is the file that Android looks for in deodexed apks.
When the command completes you will have a file called "classes.dex" sitting in the directory holding all the deodexed apps.
ARCHIVE MANAGER
Hopefully by now you understand the difference between an odexed app and a deodexed app...
Odexed -> abc.apk AND abc.odex
Deodexed -> abc.apk ONLY which contains classes.dex
So, since we have the classes.dex, all we have to do is drag-n-drop it into the respective.apk using an archive manager such as 7zip (Windows). The result is an .apk which contains all the files necessary for it to install and run... it is deodexed.
CLEANUP
If you are going to repeat the process multiple times you will begin to get confused with filenames and everything. Since you now have a fully funtional abc.apk, you can delete:
-The abc.odex file as it is no longe necessary
-The "out" folder created in step 1
-The classes.dex because it is already copied into abc.apk
TROUBLESHOOTING
Sometimes, no matter what you try, you just can not get an app to deodex because it just isn't finding the right dependencies to load. If you come across some troublesome apps, you can use the "-I" argument when baksmaling to force it to decompile:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -a [COLOR="Red"]api_level[/COLOR] -c [COLOR="red"]bootclasspath[/COLOR] -x -I [COLOR="red"]file.odex[/COLOR]
A warning... if you use the -I option on an app that is normally able to deodex fine, you will most likely get force closes and other random errors. Only use -I as a last resort.
For some reason our BOOTCLASSPATH on the ICS leak seems to list some files that don't exist in /system/framework. This means that when you try to baksmali you will get an error about not being able to load class files. If you get this error, look for the .jar that it references, and delete it from the BOOTCLASSPATH and try again. In the end it should look something like this in Windows:
Code:
C:\path_to_frameworks\core.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\core-junit.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\bouncycastle.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\ext.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\framework.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\framework-ext.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\android.policy.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\services.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\apache-xml.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\filterfw.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\com.motorola.android.widget.jar:C:\path_to_frameworks\com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar

Grrreat! Thank you for putting this together! I swear I dreamed about this last nite...
But, a note on bootclasspath: For ICS, I have run into problems using it directly from the init.rc - we don't physically have all of those jar files in our framework. So, I removed a couple and have not ran into problems since. Here's what I got:

Ready to Deodex the old fashion way.

(I am using mac os x)
Second: what should I use to put classes.dex files inside .jar files??

I have the same error and where i must put your solution
"java -jar baksmali-1.4.2.jar -a 10 -c \framework\core.jar:\framework\bouncycastle.jar:\framework\ext.jar:\framework\framework.jar:\framework\android.policy.jar:\framework\services.jar:\framework\core-junit.jar -x framework.odex"
Where i must put this?
Thanks.

Anyone got solution for these 'cannot find boot class path in C' error ?
EDIT:FOUND IT!!!
Just copy all framework files in C:/framework and instead of -c use -d
and command should look like
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -a [COLOR="Red"]##(api lvl)[/COLOR] -d C:/framework/ -x [COLOR="red"][.odex file][/COLOR]
No need to type the whole bootclasspath he just needs the path to framework folder
Hope it helps

3. I drag out the file from APP directory (LatinIME.apk) this is keyboard to desktop
4. Then i go to Framework directory in this rom and drag out file Framework-res.apk and drag it to desktop
5. Then i add this 2 files in "AutoAPKTool2.0.4\_INPUT_APK" and run AutoAPKToolMain.bat
6. When open this window i select number 1 (if framework-res.apk) and press enter
7. Then i select number 81 ( Instrall additional framework file ) and add the location of Framework-res.apk witch is in _INPUT_APK and press enter
8. Then i select number 6 and add location of LatinIME.apk and press enter and wait until decompile
9. When decompile end i open the "AutoAPKTool2.0.4\_INPUT_APK\LatinIME\res\values" directory and edit Style.xml with notepad++ ( <item name="keyHintLetterColor">#80000000</item> ) to ( <item name="keyHintLetterColor">#80E0E4E5</item> )

Whats wrong with just apktool - that on its own has never failed me, its only when you add other utilities in that things **** up (with the exception of VTS which I use for multiple apk like the tweaks but for single apk I use apktool on its own). Also with apktool on its own, its a hell of a lot easier to debug problems

So what tools to use

How to Decompile SystemUI.apk and make Modifications !! (For Windows OS)

Okay! I took much time surfing all over the net to find this and finally I got the Perfect solution for people who are beginners(n00b)
If you try to decompile directly it won't work(not atleast for Core but only for some devices), so here we go
Things you will need:
APKTOOL
Script
Rooted Core
Root Browser (or something similar)
Make sure you have Java SDK installed in pc.
Notepad++ or a decent xml editor
Preparation :
1)Copy these two apks' in sd card or somewhere you can access it from pc.
system\framework\"framework-res.apk"
and
system\app\"SystemUI.apk"
2)Copy these two apk in your computer system
3)Extract APKTOOL and Script until you get "aapt.exe", "apktool.bat", "apktool.jar" .
4) Make a new folder anywhere in your comp. and paste these
(i) framework-res.apk
(ii) SystemUI.apk
(iii) aapt.exe
(iv) apktool.bat
(v) apktool.jar
(vi) You also need to paste "cmd.exe", use Run command to find it and paste it in the folder...
Steps:
(i) Open cmd.exe, it should show the location of the current folder
(ii) Type
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
(iii) After it is done, Type
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
(iv) Now you successfully have SystemUI.apk decompiled in the same folder !!!
Precautions:
i) Ensure you have not "CUT" but "COPIED" the apks from the folder, this can HARD BRICK your phone !
ii) Decompiling apks' takes time according to one's pc's speed, have patience.
iii) Please do not try to decompile or play with framework-res.apk in anyway if you are not experienced !
iv)And as thcoreguy says
No nuclear war is going on!

Checked and tested:
*I have used win7 64-bit SONY laptop
*Worked for I8262 and SHOULD work for I8260 (the files)

Me(ofcourse) for creating this
Press Thanks if you also achieved to decompile this!
