[Request] Android Emulator / Sandbox on an Android Host - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello XDA,
Does anyone know of any development of booting an Android image from an Android phone, or any kind of sandboxing environment?
I know we can boot into a linux image. Surely we could do the same with an Android image - has anyone tried?
I'm one of those Barclays bank users who cannot user their apps due to rooting!
Thanks in advance!

Hi, just use rootcloak w/ Cydia or the corresponding Xposed Module

Pseudo device on WM, Symbian and Android

Hi,
it is possible to create pseudo devices on WM, Symbian and Android during an application installation? I will write a pseudo gps device and install it as normal application.
WM: it should be possible
Symbian: I think too
Android: mmm...I need root access to load an kernel module or ? Have signed apk (android packages) root access?
Ok, now I know it is impossible with official method to create an device during an apk installation.
But Android has a LocationProvider:

Question: Chroot/X11 Window/Xorg/Xserver in Android

Hi Everyone,
I have few questions regarding Android.
Currently, I don't have an Android and I consider getting one.
Kindly, please answer my following questions [Related to hacking]:
1- Does Android Support Chroot-ing? (Assuming it is been rooted)
2- If it does, is it possible to start/run Xorg/Xserver (Natively)?
3- If Chroot-ing is not possible nor starting an X-server. How easy to dual boot Debian/Fedora/Etc ... in Android phones?
I'm considering to buy Android to chroot or booting a linux in it (ARM Type).
I have already wasted a lots of time trying get my an answer for my questions, the only thing I found is about using VNC on android, but nothing about X11 Forwarding.
If you don't recommend doing any of the above, could you tell me why not [RAM/Technical reason]?
Thanks in advance | You will get thanks after answering me
I guess, I shouldn't scratch "Thanks in advance". Otherwise I might had a better luck.
Hi, may be is too late, i find your post searching info on chrooting.
It's possible installing busybox and like you may had find : on nexus ubuntu can be used.
You can use it from terminal or from vnc so you will have X.
I installed busybox but the bootubuntu script don't find chroot, i installed it from GOT's OpenRecovery (first option)
Xorg does run, I tested it, but the screen becomes garbled, because of Android and Xorg tries to write to screen simultaneously.. I'm trying to find a solution for that lately.
@theGanymedes you run xorg without vnc ? you havn't display error ?
screenshot ?
thanks
New X server written as app for Android
Somebody has written an xserver for android:
my20percent.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/android-x-server/
It is open source:
code.google.com/p/android-xserver/
And is on the market (search for 'x server').
Needs some work but could be the answer to running all gui apps from a chroot inside android!

[Q] Complete Linux Installer?

Hey everyone,
So I just ordered my NVIDIA Shield, and I was wondering if anyone has experimented with the Complete Linux Installer app (apk) which is available on the Google Play Store. I would very much like to have a dual boot console, and from what I've heard, Complete Linux Installer allows you to put linux straight onto your Android without having to root the device.

modification pf stock/vanila android os

Dear all,
i am no developer. My knowledge of how android os even works is zero. I am but a simple android phone user. While using an android phone, I find myself wondering as to whether the stock/vanila android operating system can be modified such that it
1) has a termux-like terminal but with the capability of giving the user temporary root access something like in ubuntu
2) is possible to install it using a bootable flash disk instead of flashing only.
I hope that android developers can kindly let me know as to whether the above is possible or not.
With regards

[Question] Can we root a virtual android device?

So couple of days ago I installed Android Studio and set it up. Then one of my friends said that you could actually create virtual android devices inside of Android Studio. This got me exited. But a question popped in my mind. I thought, "In order to do experiments and gain vast knowledge about android in general, I have to root this virtual phone." So that's what I've been thinking for the past couple of days. Can you root a virtual android device that's created inside of Android Studio? If yes, how? If yes, how do I boot into recovery mode and stuff related to it? If yes, can I install custom ROMs?

Thank you reading through this and I hope that I will get all the answers for all my questions!
