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".
Hi all, Im Tony and im new here.
First of all sorry if this is in the wrong location.
Im looking for a portable android emulator. I know there is Jar of Beans but iv tried that and its so out dated it doesn't run anything I tried.
I want to mainly be able to play Clash of Clans on my works computer and I can't install anything on it. At home I use the Andy emulator and love it but as far as I can see I can't make it portable.
Does anyone know of a emulator that is portable so I can use it on my external HDD.
Thanks
Hey guys, first of all, sorry if I post on the wrong section.
I have aquestion for devs. I'm a student developer and I'm learning to develop for Android. Do you guys think I'd necessarily need an Android device or the Android emulator would be enough(maybe for one year or more). I also like w10 mobile and I don't know what to do.
Thanks!!!!!!
Also another question, I'm a really beginner dev, but I'd like to get involved in community development, hacking etc, what do you guys recommend to me? Where should a beginner like me start from?
I am always running the apps on a real device if I can. This is definetly needed if the app uses for example something like networking because these functions will not be available on an emulator. The main reason however for using a real device is that it runs a lot smoother. The emulator can take a long time to boot up and it can be really laggy when running the app. Also when you are holding the phone on your hand you get to see how the app really looks and feels.
Emulator is ok though if there is nothing else available.

Thanks for your reply. Well... the emulator is not really slow on latest versions of android studio... but it does start pretty slow. I'll finally use a real device.
On ADV, how can you test GPS, other sensors?

You can use Android Studio emulator and it will work in most cases. Couple recommendations:
1. Select Android version with Google APIs when creating device
2. Install Intel HAXM (you can find it in SDK manager also) - this will really speed up your emulator including loading time
3. Android Studio 2.0 will be released soon and looks like they will improve emulator performance and functionality there.
Of course you may face something wich is not currently works on emulator but you will face this on a real devices too - some features may work different on devices from different manufacturers. But the chance with facing this kind of troubles is very low when you work on common stuff. Also you can take a look to the 3rd party emulators, like Genymotion.
Anyway I prefer to use real device when developing because I can "feel" it

Start with creating some app which will work with some Rest services, display some sort of lists, images, use database to store data. Just think about creating something useful and interesting for you.

You can test GPS using different apps which mocks your location (you can download apk from play store and install it on emulator) or using the terminal:
1. Connect to emulator with "telnet localhost 5554" command. Maybe you will need to change "5554" with another digits - just look at emulator's window title
2. Set location with "geo fix 12.345 67.89" command
What other sensors you need to test?
Used android emulators a lot, but mostly to test different unusual screen resolutions/dpi combinations.
They're ok speedwise, but you'll never get real feel of your app on AVD. And please, don't release anything, that just been tested only on AVD.
Also AVDs are quite good for recording videos of your app UI using screengrabbers on desktop (SSR - Simple Screen recorder is the best for me so far)
As for beginner's project - try to implement little game. I've started with simple rotating cube example from "Hello Android" book , and this little project ended with game with 3M downloads on play store
Android emulator will work when you begin a project.
If you need more tests or make a formal public apk, you can use real devices.
Best way is use both if you have device - use device. Another android versions, resolutions, sizes etc. test on the emulator.
If standard emulator is too slow, you can use genymotion.
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.
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.
