I'd like to thanks for the link - just ran out of 8 thanks a day.
I actually discovered this app way long time ago. It's still in the app drawer tho I barely use it.
Anyway, I have upload Mac System 7.5.5, for those don't want System 6 on the OP.

Dead Mac Icon
Am I the only one getting the "dead mac?" Followed the directions, and neither the 896K .dsk image nor a pre-existing one I generated with Basilisk II for Windows worked -- no matter what, I'm getting the "dead mac" icon. Ideas of what to try next?
While we're on it, anybody know where there are instructions for Basilisk II for Android? As I mentioned that's worked for me on my Win10 machine, wondering if that's an option since I see I can get it through the Google store.
Thanks!
Just to clarify...
Basilisk II port- does not work - At least not for SM-N920T (Note 5 / T-Mobile)
Mini VMac (Ver. 1.4.1) for Android - does not support chip-set emulation higher than a Mac Plus Roms or System 7.5.5 , so
What this means is NO COLOR on Android Mac emulation.
I have recently installed the Android SDK and found that i could pull system apps form emulators! i used this to get all android apps that i thought would be cool to have and these are the ones i could get to work with no root.
Calculator
DevTools (Development)
Spare Parts
DeskClock
Email
Custom Locale
Music
Terminal Emulator(Can be found in DevTools)
The apps that I tried that DON'T work are:
Launcher
Browser
I don't know if Gallery works or not... i haven't had the chance to try.
EDIT: sorry for cutting off... accidentally hit submit then internet went out :/
EDIT: added more apps that work and linked Gallery for you guys to try out.

Nice!
But how does one go about installing / running these onto the KF?
^^^^^^
Anyone? I've tried searching the forums for how to load these but have no clear answer.

If your using the XDA app, click dpwnload then use a file manager and go to mnt/sdcard/xda-downloads then click the one you want to install.
If not, click the link then use a file manager to go to mnt/sdcard/downloads and click the one you want to install.

Nevermind.. figured it out from a different post on how to install these apps.
So the email app is different than the stock Kindle email? I may have to check that one out.

Hi friends,
This is a guide that help you to run the windows on your android phone.
.
I have tested this by myself using a low end arm6 600mhz with 256Mb ram qvga (240x320) display device and a high end 1.5Ghz phone with 1 Gb ram and 720p display.
Both works well( It took about 5min to boot ) So this will work on almost every android device.
.
Just download the file using the link, extract the SDLApp.apk and install it.
.
Then extract the SDL folder to the root On your phone. (mnt/sdcard/here)Then you're done !!!
.
Open the app "lib sdl"and wait...(may take about 1~20 min to boot into win95)
.
If you want to try to run applications or
access your SD Card within windows create a
folder called HDD in the root of your SDcard
and put whatever you want in there.You can use that foldr as your Hard disk.
.
Ok enjoy !!!
.

Run windows 1 on your android.
Have you ever used windows one?
Try it on your phone.
.
You have to download " AnDOSbox "or "aDosBox" from play store.
.
Download windowsone.img
.
Place it in root of your sdcard (mnt/sdcard/here)
.
Open AnDOSbox/aDosBox app.
.
Type command "boot windowsone.img"
and press enter button.
.
Enjoy...
.
Leave me a small thank also
Run old mac os on your phone
Updating post
Place the file "vMac.ROM" in "minivmac" directory in your SD Card.
Disk images should have .img or .dsk
extensions, and be located in "minivmac"
directory in your SD Card for them to show up
in the disk chooser.
Leave me a small thank also

This is an emulator, it does not replace any operating system, plus this is for android only.
Is it smooth or veeeeeery laggy?
Can I run .exe files?

Hi all,
Just thought I would share my ebook app files from the original tab 10.1 that they stopped developing but which gave the best eboom experience on android IMHO. To install you unzip this (doesn't work as a flashable zip). Then you need to remove the myfiles apk from system app (called sec-tablet.my files) and replace it with the one from this zip. Then install ebook.apk as a normal app. Reboot your tab and enjoy!

Hi smegg,
I'm looking for the stock Ebook reader, version 3, for some time now. My tablet is on Android 4.1. So far I found two versions, one ebook,apk worked well but it's version 1.xx. The other one is version 3.xxx, it opens my books but does not show any "ç " or "Ç" (along with other missing accents).
I searched this thread but since it's old, the links are already broken....
Do you still have the tw flasheable version of this app? The app you have is at some 3.xxx versions?
Thank you!
mot sure mate, i'll have a look
Hey smegg,
Very thank you for your reply! Turns out I found a way to fix the newer version's app. I decompiled it and saw that it was using system font, droidserif.ttf. Turns out that this font in my tablet is zero size, more like a placeholder, i don't know...
Since I didn't wan't to mess with these, I opened the .smalli on the apk which called this font (smali\com\samsung\ebook\reader\settings\font.smali) and changed it to Helvetica.ttf. Recompilled it with apktool and gave it a try. Don't have the correct MyFiles,apk so I have to import books by clicking on them from any explorer. Apart from that, it's all working very fine! =)
On android 4.3 there was a way( as well as a app) that allowed you to change permission on apps, for example, on Facebook you can remove the location permission and so on, is there anything like that for kitkat? Btw Im completly stock and no I dont want to root my phone thanks in advance

Not the correct place to ask, for future reference would post a question like this in Q&A,
In Original Android Development head to PSX, I know that app ops was 4.3 , in 4.4 it changed a little, works just as well.

Is it a stand alone app or its baked in to the rom ? Didnt find it in psx app add ons , but like I said I don't want to root,

baked into the rom. 4.4 removed it or did something with it where its hidden from the user. in 4.3 it was accessible by creating a custom activity to launch it.
shameless plug:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540233
My app also contains a version of App Ops that can be installed separately using root (doesn't need root after install), which also adds a Search button to filter those long lists of apps.
