[Q] How to run QEMU(latest version) for virtualising windows on android ? - General Questions and Answers

Has anyone been able to compile qemu 1.7 version and run windows image as qcow2 on android..??
I am facing some problem, mostly in GUI part of qemu.
Android kills the limbo-qemu process (1.7 version ) after it has launched, Dont know why it is killing it. Even tried to increase the ram in qemu for the windows image.
If you need more specific details in helping me out, please let me know.

Question
Where did you find a link to download Limbo based off Qemu 1.7? I was wanting to try it myself but it looks like the Google code link is down.

VMWare image of the source building environment

Hi all, I'm sorry if this has already been asked, i looked for it using Google and the search forum option and while i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=145, (using this: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...ource&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) it didnt really help me because it's not exactly what i'm looking for
I want to be able to change some bits of code on the os and see how that affects the device (for example, i'd like to change the order of options in the menus and stuff like that) just to get to know the development environment better.
however, I'm using Microsoft windows (vista x64) and cannot build it on this env (according to: http://source.android.com/download --> "To build the Android source files, you will need to use Linux or Mac OS. Building under Windows is not currently supported.").
therefore i was wondering, did anybody make a vmware image that is ready to use that contains the environment and the sources that will only need a source update and can be built immediately after for noobs like me?
I'm sure I'm not the only one running a windows machine and so i guess somebody has already made one for himself, I'm asking if you could maybe share it somehow...
Thanks
E.
Clarification: I'm not talking about the SDK building but rather the actual OS source code so that i can re-build and put on my phone
note: tried this: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/building-android-source-and-deploying.html, didn't work, but it gives an idea of what I'm looking for...
did u try running a virtualbox with linux? or maybe a macOS off a usb?
vista x64
for windows, have you tried cygwin?
I've installed it just fine in ubuntu in vmware.
I'd about 8 gb. quite hard to make an image out of it.

[Q] is is possible to install...?

Is it possible to install an android operating system on my toshiba sattelite laptop. Its got a fast enough processor and big enough hard drive, but I jut want to install it as a second operating system, like when you can choose what op system you want to run when you boot up.
Check out the Android x86 project. Android is built for ARM architecture not i386.
Android is linux based, you could just run that.
Sent from my GSBv1.5-ERIS using XDA App
now that youve answered that, im curious to see if its possible to install android OP on a first generation PS3.... It was possible to run linux on them before.... and im just curious to see if its possible to put the android op thats linux based on it....
can anyone help to find the correct download for the linux based android op system?

[Q] How Android kernel and Virtual Machine work

Dear all,
I'm trying to reconstruct the Andriod on my phone. So far i managed to download source code for Linux core including files like "mount, cp, modprobe,...", however I notices thete are other files in /system/bin like "am, pm, ..." which control the other layer of Android OS. How can I download the source code for these kind of files. Also in framework we have "am.jar" which seems to have direct relation to Java VM. Maybe it is better to also ask how Java VM works on Android. I do not ask about general knowledge because more or less I know how it works. Basicly I need to know which files are related to the process of running Apps on Android and what they do.
Best wishes.

Emulator Kernel Version Missing (Pic Provided)

Trying to build my own AOSP ROM and I keep getting stuck on emulator unable to find the kernel version, though the file is there.
I am using Hyper-V VM with Ubuntu V20 installed and the VHD is exactly that, a .vhd file extension for the virtual hard drive.
I just can not seem to resolve the problem on the missing kernel, also have supplied a pic showing exactly what it says after the build is finished and then I try and run emulator.
Any help or info, links on the matter would be much appreciated and thank you for taking the time to help out.
I have also noticed I can not use "emulator -list-avds" nothing happens. Just exits and terminal is ready for user input again.
So far I did a repo sync again and then a m -checkbuild and just waiting for it to finish to try emulator again
Update: Decided to start from scratch
Changes that I have made.
Using Ubuntu 18.04 for O.S
Switched from M.S Hyper-V to Oracle Virtual-Box (V.B has more features then Hyper-V and is better in performance because of it.).
Virtual HDD is set to .VHD but is on Sata and not IDE now (Virtual-Box only allows it).
Made the VHD a fixed drive instead of dynamic for better performance (Max size of 512GB)
Dedicated 32GB of ram to VM.
Allowed up to 6 cores on a 12 core processor.
might experiment getting Oracle JDK installed instead of using openjdk, due to having issues with it.
UPDATE_1
Fresh build on 18.04 same issues as old build. emulator, avd and android. all not working.
I might have missed a package to download or something or maybe java still is not working. Using openjdk 11 at the moment. I am running out of ideas as to why i can not get it working.
Update_2
Looks like the reason emulator is not working is due to me not installing SDK, I am not using the IDE so I think I need the command-line & Platform tools installed. got to work out how to install it now.
UPDATE_3
SDK from what I know is installed. Now I am getting an output file is missing, but build completed with no issues. Please help, new image also supplied.

Installing Linux on chinese android tablet

Hello,
Hopefully can find further help here...
Obtained Keypoon K30s Pro tablet from China. It is running Android 10 as its oem OS. I want to set it up with a linux distro instead of android.
Ofcourse due to exotic make I have not been able to find any threads of information on this topic for this brand tablets.
Only guide so far has been hardware specs...
It is running on Unisoc SC9863a 64bit ARM Cortex A-55 cpu at 10 cores.
10GB RAM
512GB internal storage
PowerVR Rogue GE8322 integrated graphics card
It successfully connects with windows 10 cmd adb bridge.
As I understand, I would need a linux distro img format file to try and boot it from bootloader via ADB, however official sources only offer ISO downloads.
PS I am open to any linux distro which would offer best compatibility to the hardware. From what I can see Debian seems to be a good choice. (as this brand is not
part of the supported device list for ubports of ubuntu touch couldnt get past that either)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Thank you for reply.
Looks like Andronix is a Linux emulator and backbone still remains Android.
with this also comes certain limitations...
I was looking to completely replace Android with a Linux distro.
Any suggestions?

Yes, you are correct there. Andoid is built off the linux kernel.
However, it is still limited in what you can do, you have proprietary bloatware bogging down your device and the biggest issue for me is that google is the manager of it all.
So I am strongly coming from privacy side as well.
I have seen quite a few options similar to Andronix on play store. Correct me if im wrong- they are like a virtual machine on windows..? Not sure how this setup works, if you are able to save your OS state, packages etc, or its a clean slate everytime you fire up the vnc server and connect to the distro of choice...
So I am really interested to see if its possible to fully get rid of android and try linux. (Cant install windows as ARM cpu's are not supported, not that I wanted windows anyway)
Many thanks
