Im looking for an app that will act like a virtual machine on my Galaxy S 4. I am running a GPE 5.1 ROM. Specifically I'm wanting to run another mobile OS (either android or iOS). Im not looking to just change the launcher or look but really wanting to basically run two phones on one. Thanks.

Hi All,
I heard sometwhere that there is an emulator that can run android apps on WP7.
I have a samsung omnia w.And due to lack of many functionalities in it I was hoping if there was an emulator for it.
I have also searched internet to full unlock it but couldnt find.
And also there is no seperate thread for samsung omnia w on xda.
Plz reply
thanks in advance
It is my understanding that the only way to currently obtain a full unlock is to use a custom ROM. Since the Omnia W (aka: Focus Flash) does not have its own thread. It's likely that there's nothing for it yet.
It is also my understanding that the way WP7 is set up (all apps are sandboxed), that you'd be better off getting an android device if you want to run android apps.
What you need is a dev who has his/her hands on the device and who wants to try to get up into it.
Good luck!
No such thing

Would be interesting to know exactly where you heard that. No, there isn't such an emulator to run Android apps on top of WP7. Maybe you confuse this with certain attempts of RIM to run Android apps on their PlayBook tablet, after a "repackaging".
Hello guys,
So I have rooted my tablet and enjoyed the perks of rooting. I haven't rooted my phone yet because I am planning on buying another one but before I do that I want to ask something about rooting. I know that several people used LinuxDeploy and rooting to get Linux distro up and running. Just wondering if this would allow us to use desktop applications on an android device? I was thinking that since I do alot of analysis work for my engineering research projects that if I can use my phone to run some programming codes, matlab, CAD and maybe even OpenFoam? So I am wondering if rooting and using linux would allow me to fully utilize the SOC and maybe run desktop grade software when I am on the go or in a meeting showing something? Most vanilla andriod apps aren't robust enough to allow me to open and edit script files or 3d models/analysis data?
I want to attempt to try this on my nexus 7 (first generation) as a proof of concept?
Also if I use it for this purpose, can I still run my paid applications and google play services on a rooted device normally?
Thanks :laugh:

While you can run a Linux distro on an android device and even run some desktop applications anything heavy will generally not run or run very poorly so it depends on what applications you want to run and the power of your android device.
Why do the people who make the Android Emulators only use KitKat as the emulator of choice? i only ask cause i would like to run an emulator on my PC from time to time and most of them apps i want to use only run on 5.x+ and will not work on 4.x.x. just wondering was all thanks for your time.
Hello everyone i have a question for you that will make a choice for me to root/modify/upgrade (or whatever you guys doing) my tablet or just leave it alone.
First of all i have a Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition tablet running Android 4.0.4. I have software and hardware experience on pc windows and linux but not so much on android.
My main problem with my tablet is its running Android 4.0.4 and when i tried to install apps (especially multimedia apps like netflix , bein connect and youtube) it says my device is not compatible. And in general my tablet feels slower to when i bought it first time about 5 years ago.
My questions are;
1-Would i be able to upgrade android to newer editions at least android 5.0.0? I am asking this because my phone has android 5.0.0 and i have no problems with apps as of now.
2-If i root/modify android can i run apps like netflix and youtube or there are more problems waiting?
3-Would modifying help the speed of tablet or would it slow it down even more? Like trying to install windows 8 on a windows xp level of pc.
I'm asking these because i dont want to spend days just to find out it was not the answer i was looking for.
I hope i made myself clear please add any suggestion or roadmaps for a newbie like me. Thanks in advance.
Technically rooting doesn't allow you to upgrade your version of Android, it's the custom recovery you install that does. If there's a custom ROM out there that supports your old tablet it will work. Youtube is unaffected by root and I don't think Netflix is either. Finally, rooting technically could help the speed of your tablet if you change things like disabling fsync or running TRIM, but rooting itself doesn't change performance. Just be warned that there might not be a Lollipop or newer custom rom for your tablet!
Hello guys
Sorry if this a stupid question. but is there any way to emulate the roms? I mean, i have an OnePlus 6 and i would like to try a couple of roms, but i dont like the process of configuring all my stuff on my phone everytime i test a rom, so if theres a ways to run the rom, on my pc, to see how it goes...dont know if there is something like this or if its even possible...
You may use Oracle Virtual Box if you want to test a x86 - based ROM.
