I created a guide on how to create a Windows XP (or indeed any operating system Linux or Windows) image .img file ready to copy to an Android phone to be emulated. Part 2 of how to run the created file on Android is coming soon so subscribe to see that one. This has been tested on Windows 10 and Android 6.0 and is just an updated guide with the latest tools.

Attached is what was my missing link to full Android development in Windows.
1. For Android Java or C++ cpde I use Win + Eclipse + Android SDK+NDK
2. For Android System.img editing and building Entire Android system I use the following:
Developemnt Overview and purpose of this utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. You do not need to install anything on your windows
machine, if you like you can just copy it to a USB drive and
run it from there.
b. You can use this to build an entire android system and images,
or just modify system.img if you like.
1. Download QEMU for Windows. (google for it Aprox 3Mb)
2. Download QEMU Debian Image. (google for it Arox 150Mb)
3. Run QEMU and use aptitude to download g++, make and other
Android build requirements as mentioned on the dev site.
4. Build Android system or just edit system.img.
By transfering files to/from host windows system....
This is where this Utility is used as ftp'ing from
QEMU to the host system will not work with a regular
ftp server.
To transfer files from QEMU to Host do the following:
Windows: Run Ftpd.exe
QEMU: $ pftp 10.0.2.2 and log in as ian
Now you can use ftp command to send and recieve files to/from
QEMU and Windows.
5. Transfer system.img or entire adriod build image to Device and
follow device flashing procedure.
Hi there. I'm not sure about existing Windows Management Framework 5.0 with PowerShell 5.0 for Windows RT so I start this thread.
According to MS KB, Windows RT is noted in prerequisites
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ork-5-0-rtm-on-windows-8-1-and-windows-server
although it's not a prove that PowerShell 5.0 existed for Windows RT. MS don't publish direct links for MSU for Windows RT at Windows Update Catalog. In the same time there is PowerShell 6.0 compiled for both 32 and 64 bit ARM
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases
but arm build isn't in MSU but zip. When I ran install script I've got lot of errors.
So I'm askin for help for PowerShell 5.0 MSU for Windows RT. Preinstalled PowerShell 4.0 in windows Rt is outdated and doesn't have some modules I need. Just it.

Why are you doing powershell scripting on RT anyways? If you are serious about it, at the very least get a linux machine (windows would be preferable)

I just need PowerShell 5.x for my purposes. To make some thing and create some stuff under Windows, not unix like environment (for instances checkin out for bleaches).
I like WinRT seriously. Like this way. I just need latest PowerShell if it exist. That's it.

There is no WMF5.0 for RT. If you look at the site you linked to, it doesn't apply to Windows RT. It just says you need the 2014 rollup update that was released for all 8.1 devices including RT.

At the beginning I am new to android building from source.
I successfully built android for android emulator
useing android 4.0.1 AOSP source
(useing Ubuntu 14.04 64bit)
but when I run $emulator
I get errors
so I decided to run my imgs in windows sdk .
I moved the generated files
system.img
ramdisk.img
userdata.img
to android sdk path in windows
to the following path
....../android-sdk/platforms/android-15/images
but when I start android emulator it's stuck in black screen
but when I use the default android sdk files in the above
path the emulator started successful
.
the question is
can I run my system.img which I built useing Linux in windows?
is android system.img (x86)
system independent?
Hi
I am on Windows 10 ( 32-bits system) on an oldish Intel 2- Core 14-2120 3.30 GHZ 32-bits CPU. I want to virtualize a 2nd OS ( Windows 10) in order to switch between the two OS without having to reboot each time. Unfortunately all the Virtualization softwares I have looked into, are designed for 64-bits. I tried a few of them and I invariably get a message that I cannot install because a 64-bits platform is required.
I have been able to install only an older VMware app. ( v. 5 or so) It did go in. and I was able to create a VM box by following the instructions. However I hit a brick wall: when I try to install the CD from the optical drive, I do get the Windows Logo on the VB screen, but it stops there and I cannot install the virtual Windows 10. Why? How can I finalize the 3nd OS installation?
Thanks
Ittiandro
VirtualBox is available as 32-bit edition, too.
It didn't help me
It would be helpful if you specified what virtualization applications you had used for this. I know for sure that there are virtualization apps that allow you to virtualize a 2nd OS (Windows 10) on 32-bit systems like yours. I suggest that you try using VMware 7 for this, as I have often used this piece of software myself, and I can say that this is the best virtualization software that I have tried for purposes similar to yours. I won't be able to test any other virtualization apps of this kind since I have a 64-bit operating system now, but I'm sure you will succeed.
How do I revert back to my default OS which is Windows 10 after installing and running PrimeOS on dell pc.
Have an USB-stick at hand where the full Windows 10 OS is copied onto
In PC's UEFI / BIOS set PC to boot from USB-stick
Plug the USB-stick into PC
Re-boot PC from USB-stick
Follow the instructions shown on PC's monitor
