What Is BlueStacks?
BlueStacks App Player is an easy to use yet powerful software solution designed to run Android apps right on your Windows machine.It uses a special technology called LayerCake, which provides the correct environment to run ARM-applications for the Android OS on a computer running Windows XP and above.
The scale of the program is not as small as it would seem at first sight. After installing BlueStacks on your Windows PC, you can directly download Android-app you need from the program , without using the Android-smartphone. BlueStacks looks pretty neat and fits naturally into the interface of Windows. The program allows you to run Android-application in a window or full screen mode, and it can deal with almost everything - it has been translated into 12 languages.

If you like my work,Press Thnx button instead of commenting.....

Just want to say thanks for this - been out of the loop for a while and this is a good refresher for me.

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe this is best thread to ask.
So I noticed that BlueStack 2 using sponsored apps. I accidentally clicked install and now I am not sure if that is installed or not. Before closing this program say the program is installed in a moment. I checked under settings this apps but there was any new apps etc. So this app newer got installed? Or are these app linked in google account? Because I checked also under google play my apps that there wasn't also any new apps.
So these apps are not linked any in google account or they will randomly appear in Bluestack?

without virtualization technology what can still use bluestack?

Request:
Could you make a modification / another app which does not need a rooted phone and whose main function it would be to identify apps on the pc's harddrive?

Good job. File manager works great on XP SP2+ NexusOne/CM 5.0.5.1, App manager does not. Maybe because I have Apps2Sd ?

AAM - Android Application Manager (PC) 0.1 Alpha (30th Sept 2012)

Introducing AAM -> Android Application Manager (PC) Version 0.1 (alpha) !! India Independence day - 15th August!!
I'm Back with Bang
New features on 0.2 3th Sept 2012 version
Link2sd support
- Right click to application and select Link to SD-Ext
- Compatible to Links2SD app
Speed Improvements
sort
- 3 levels
- Asc or Desc
- Sorting by table column header click

What is AAM?
AAM is a tool by which yoy can manage your applications from your computer. Main aim is to take backup of system or user application (.apk file) as well as its data, which can be restored back - all form your computer. Basically I am replicating some of the Titanium backup functionality on this PC based tool.
Who can use this?
Any android phone can use this. However currently its supported on windows only, but future versions definitely support Linux.
Where are download links?
Executable Exe - http://www.mediafire.com/?st2bdes6u7sceuq
Jar file - http://www.mediafire.com/?5il859gga8db5b3
What are features of AAM?
To list down, main features would be -
Link app to SD ext to increase internal memory (NEW)
Move apps to SD card (NEW)
List applications installed on Phone along with details like App name, package, APK file location, Freezed or Unfreezed, etc.
Backup System APK
Backup User APK
Backup data of any application
Restore / Install APK
Install by push method - Push apk to /system/app or /data/app
Restore DATA of System or user application
WIPE data of a application
Freeze/Unfreeze application (yes, this is FREEZE facility similar to titanium)
Uninstall App (user app as well as system app )
Kll app process
Reboot device in 3 modes - Normal, Recovery and Download
Universal tool - for all phones!!!
What are supported platforms and requirements to run this?
Currently I am releasing exe as well as jar file. but future versions definitely support Linux.
You need
java 1.5+ installed on your system
Android platform tools (adb.exe and aapt.exe) which comes with Android SDK. (In next versions, i am planning to package those also )
And yes, you DONT NEED TO INSTALL ANYTHING ON PHONE
Where are screenshots?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does everything works?
No. Hence this is Alpha version. I have tested it on my phone Samsung Galaxy 3 i5801 as well as a Jelly bean emulated device. Other devices are supported but not tested. This tool dose not brick your phone but improper use may result in loss of data. Please Use at your own risk.
[Technical]
Internally, its all based on adb and aapt tools. Using adb commands and shell commands everything is done. Using aapt tool, a apk file is parsed to get app name and icon.
Written in java, and windows exe is created with JSmooth
How to use AAM?
Connect phone via usb cable. Make sure your system passes requirements mentioned above.
When AAM runs for first time, it will ask for ADB home directory (where adb.exe and aapt.exe are present) and a directory for storing backup data.
AAM will load apps installed on device. Please note that when there is no backup of a application, its icon, app name can not be retrieved.
You can start using AAM by selecting applications from list and clicking on action buttons listed on right hand side.
For quick selection, use select check-box options - To select all, system apps, user apps, Uninstalled system and user apps.
Reboot options are mentioned on menu-bar above application list.
You can change backup directory as well as ADB home directory using 'Configuration' menu.
Installing an application can be done in 2 modes. Normal mode and force mode. Normal mode will try to install app using adb. Forse mode will push application apk to user or system app directory.
If you like AAM, don't forget to give donation form Donate menu or About AAM button.
(Uninstalled apps means applications whose backup is present in AAM but its not installed on device.
Does AAM requires device rooted?
No. non-rooted devices are partially supported. In fact, AAM uses busybox. sometimes. If your device has busybox, you can use all AMM functions. Withtou busybox, some functionality may affect but core functions will work.
Limitations and known issues?
I have not tested AAM on all devices.
Contacts and messages are not restored across different versions of Android.
Operates on one device at a time.
While AAM is running, device disconnect is not detected.
Still may be more.
What are future plannings of AAM / Wish List?
(DONE)
Also, to make CWM flashable zip file of selected applications backups to restore them on phone recovery.
Do not hesitate to add items in wish-list.
Where are source files?
current source files are raw develper D) files. I will spend some time on beautification of source like create license text, comments etc and upload.
I will appreciate and welcome any feedback and suggestions.

Work in progress for integrating link2sd features....
it will mount sd-ext partition and can create links of apk files to this partitoin == more internall memory .
I will try to make this compatible with 'link2sd' app so that both (AAM and link2sd app) should be on same page.
init.d support needed from kernel to use this functionality.

I'm Back with Bang

ALL THE APPLICATIONS/SOFTWARES WHICH YOU WILL BE RUNNING ON WINDOWS PLATFORM, WHILE LAUNCHING SETUP USING EXE FILE OR STARTING SOFTWARE AFTER INSTALLATION BY DOUBLE CLICKING SHORTCUT, DO IT BY RIGHT CLICKING ON IT & CLICK "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" EVERY TIME. Works on windows 7 x64 as tested by me
these are the exact steps which i followed, if you think some of them are un-necessarily added, then you can skip them (for advance pro users)
STEP 1:
Download following archived files & extract them & keep those extraxted folders on desktop for easy access.

STEP 3:
CONNECT PHONE
Make sure phone is prepared for connection as per first note above
serach online for drivers (it will take long time...be patient)
all drivers will get installed
make sure there's atleast a driver installed for each of the hardware....there must not be any device left with no driver at all....triangular yellow mark isnt an issue but just make sure that some driver is installed for each device.
when online search gives up, you will need to click install/update driver manually by pointing to those extracted folders above (i.e. on your Desktop)
you may need to restart system quite a few times during each of the driver installation
DISCONNECT PHONE AT THE END
STEP 4:
Install moborobo PC suite....run setup as administrator
download from here
.
http://www.moborobo.com/products/moborobo.html
.
open it as administrator
CONNECT PHONE....let it install drivers & recognize your phone as "Sprd-B51"
after you make sure that all drivers are installed, disconnect the phone from PC, exit/KILL PC suite completely (from notification area as well)
exit PC suite from phone status bar...stop/KILL PC suite apps in phone & uninstall them.
STEP 5:
download & install (run setup as administrator) Root Master (latest version VRoot_1.7.5.5379_Setup.exe)
Keep SuperSU installed in ur device. download it from play store. dont open it now.
connect phone to PC
Open root master by running it as administrator (else it wont succeed)
.
.
Click button highlighted in red rectangle in pic above (skip this step if device gets recognized automatically as soon as you open root master as happened with me....recognized as "Sprd-B51")
.
.
Follow and click button highlighted in red rectangle-which i am showing in above picture ! your device is now connected to this software & ready to be rooted
Click on root and wait !
.
.
it will automatically reboot your device as shown in pic below after root is successful
.
.
You can see this Chinese superuser in your menu! (icon may differ but in while & light blue color combination only)
.
.
open SuperSU grant permisson like this
.
.
supersu will automatically install su binary (need internet connection)! just grant the permisson and let the supersu uninstall Chinese superuser
.
.
Your device is now rooted

I'm extremely sorry but I cant help you with backing up ROMs n etc bcz I really dont know anything about the same
you can take help other members, above mentioned threads &/or other threads for reference
imho, if u just want to uninstall apps then link2sd application is enough to manage ur storage. with it u can integrate updated apps into system , make third party to system app & free up space on internal memory.
use uninstall master to uninstall system apps it has a feature to back-up the app being uninstalled, so that in case if u find system getting unstable after uninstalling app, u can restore it
IMPORTANT NOTE
just take decisions on installing system apps cleverly.
if u wanna replace only system app for a specific task then first integrate third party app into system & then uninstall system app after confirming that system is stable (eg. stock android keyboard after uninstalling other two third party system keyboards)
I've already uninstalled many pre-installed apps & also some of system apps replaced by third party apps for lower ram consumption &/or better user experience
also with free up space in ROM, I made some of third party essential apps to system apps to free up internal memory (right now 70MB free)
eg. replaced system launcher with ADW & using android kitkat theme package with it, made both of them system apps so that i dnt need to set the theme every time i restart phone
also replaced stock keyboard with google hindi input keyboard as system app(bcz stock keyboard wasnt accurate to touch responses & with google keyboard, u can type in hindi & marathi)
replaced tiny torchlight with a third party torch app as system app(size just few KBs) bcz i wanted only torch, not additional features.
also now M-indicator, whatsapp, link2sd, app saver, gmail etc are system apps.
tc
have a great day

sir my mobile beyond b51+ keeps restarting again and again can you plz tell me how to fix it or how to open mobile in safe mode.

USB stick / Flash Drive guide:
For this method, you need the Etcher / Rufus, PrimeOS iso file. We recommend you use a decent-speed USB drive (8GB or larger).
For flashing PrimeOS to the USB drive, plug in your USB drive and launch Etcher / Rufus. Now select the PrimeOS iso file, create the bootable USB.
Note: Be careful with the steps below and backup your data if you're not sure about what you are doing.
For installing PrimeOS on your HDD/SSD/SDcard, first, create a new partition for PrimeOS ( suggested minimum size is 16GB ).
Turn off the secure boot of your device and then boot up the PrimeOS USB by pressing Esc or F12, depending on your bios menu key, and selecting the PrimeOS USB to boot from.
Select the ‘Install PrimeOS option from the GRUB menu.
The installer will load, and you will have an option to choose which partition you created earlier. Choose it, and select Ext4 for formatting the drive.
When it asks if you want to install Grub, select YES.
When finished, the installer will then ask if you want to run PrimeOS, you can just reboot here, and make sure you remove the USB drive.

Sure, there is an inbuilt solution to pubg black screen problem. Just open Settings -> PrimeOS Settings -> GPUTools.
Now select PUBG and tick both options, now edit fake GL_VERSION and type "OpenGL ES 3.0" without quotes.
Now press back to exit the gpu tools and play PUBG. Screenshot attached below for your reference.

The preview version of OPPO Reno (standard edition) Android Q Beta is available. Developers are welcome to download this version and adapt their apps to it. Normal users are advised not to download it because known issues exist.
Adaptation Risk Description
1. Make sure that your phone is the OPPO Reno standard edition (model：CPH1917EX). Only this edition is supported currently.
2. The adaptation will clear your phone data. Make sure that you have backed up important data before the adaption.
3. This Android Q Beta version is provided for developers to experience new features in advance. Normal users are advised not to use it because know issues exist.
Android Q Beta New Features
1. Security and Privacy
(1) Application Permission Notifications
The permissions management is improved:
Location permissions can now be set to "Allow only when in use" to reduce the risk of geographical location leakage while saving power.
At the same time, in Settings or notification drawer, you can easily see which apps are using permissions that may involve privacy. The permissions management UI has been redesigned. Buttons are enlarged and are laid out vertically to reduce mistouch.
(2) Random MAC Address
You can choose to connect to Wi-Fi with a random MAC address. In this way, your private information like your mobile number and consumption records cannot be obtained by advertisers according to your MAC address.
(3) Storage Permission Management
Android Q provides an "isolated storage sandbox" for each app. Other apps cannot directly access the files in the sandbox, effectively preventing private files from leakage. However, some shared files such as photos, videos, music, and downloads can be accessed with requested permissions.
(4) Clipboard Permissions
Clipboard permissions are also strictly controlled. Third-party apps cannot read your copied content if not permitted.
2. ANGLE Renderer
The ANGLE renderer accelerates the migration of the software ecosystem to Vulkan by translating the WebGL and OpenGL ES code from an app into a Vulkan API supported by the local hardware. This improves the fluency of 2D and 3D rendering, making animation more smooth and fluent.
3. Bubble
Bubble is a new feature in Android Q. With bubbles, you can easily process multiple tasks from anywhere on your device. Bubbles are built into the notification system. They float on the top of the content of other apps, and can be collapsed when not in use. You can tap a bubble to view app features and information, or dismiss it by moving it or dragging it down.

Adaptation Procedure
(1) Backup. Make sure that your phone model is OPPO Reno (model：CPH1917EX) and back up your phone data. Path: Settings - Other Settings - Back Up & Restore - New Backup
(2) Copy. After the backup is complete, the file is located in the -backup folder under the root directory. You need to copy the file to a computer or other storage device to save it.

(4) Installation. Power off the phone, and press and hold the power button and the volume down button to enter the Recovery mode. Select the upgrade file, find the corresponding upgrade firmware package, and tap Install.
