this popped up earlier for me

seems pretty neat but their are a few major things thatd i love to see fixed or somehowfixed.
first mouse support and internet working which would then allow apps hopefully.
and then since its a live cd whenever youd reboot the pc or restart all the info wouldnt be saved. any way for this aswell?
just would like this livedroid stuff to evolve like the andriod device has
seems kind of cool but........... this is what the emulator is for in the android SDK.
well i hope that this will eventually lead or get 1 step closer to dualbooting android, say windows/android id really like, especially with access to droid apps
have you seen what ubuntu is working on? a modified kernel to run android apps along side of regular linux. imagine a 10 inch netbook running ubuntu mobile that also runs the same apps as your phone. pretty slick. I think i remember finding it via hackaday.com but i'm sure some googleing will turn it up
I'd love android as a main distro, they need to make it easier to compile C/C++ apps though, currently wrapping them in java slows development in my opinion.
The wrapper for ubuntu looks good but i wouldn't really try it, that's just me though
well im just really trying to figure out some way to get android onto my laptop, either with flashdrive or dual booting. Id love to have windows as one and then android as the other if I had access to the internet and app store, because if im traveling some of the android apps would be very useful and they are alot easier to access and find then searching google with windows.
so any chance of this?
Here you go
http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/livedroid/downloads/40887/livedroid_alpha.iso/
Created by Japanese developers, a bootable iso image (Live CD) of android for your computer.
Here's a translation of their webpage:
http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.jp%2Fforum%2Fforum.php%3Fforum_id%3D19230&sl=ja&tl=en&history_state0=
You should be able to open the iso with any iso program such as PowerISO, or Magic ISO, etc, then repack the iso with the same program (I was able to do it in Power ISO) Shouldn't be as difficult as opening a *.img
thanks for the links but thats the same thing I posted in topic. is their anyway to put this onto a USB and have the USB bootable?
I would deff use this IF
-it had internet working
-could save the data (maybe stored onto a flash drive or turned into an actual dual boot along windows etc...)
-and with the internet working I could download apps from market place, If I could dl apps id actually use this sometimes because some of the apps would be very very useful in public with Inet access such as where, or the information apps and itd just be plain fun
so any chance of these coming?
anyone thinking of messing with this?

Have you tried googling it? Something along the lines of "how to create a bootable usb drive linux"
Here's one I found that seems to be the most user friendly, I can't verify if it works or not with this android build (although it should.)

Why not just use a virtual machine, mounting the ISO?
It is not easy to modify android to support many wifi- or lan-devices..

Because this is like when you're installing a fresh version of windows, or restoring.
You need the CD in the cd drive, then restart (as in shut down and start up)
But before it even starts loading windows, it loads the cd instead.
I think some computers can load from a USB drive, check your computer's BIOS

That doesn't really answer his question, does it?
I think you could easily mount the iso in e.g. VirtualBox/VMWare and start it virtualized. They seem to have included a standard linux kernel with enough modules

Sorry, I guess I really didn't know what he was talking about =X
But yeah you are right... hmm that should work, although I've never worked with
a VirtualBox
And in virtualbox.. You could use the "freezing"-function to freeze the state ;-) Only thing to fix is wlan/lan.
Wlan should be easier - the driver is named wlan.ko.
You need to compile a driver.
After playing around with it a bit, it's really only a novelty..
I'm running it on Virtual box.. and it seems rather pointless other then for "demonstrating android." The applications that come on it are, for the most part, inopperable and force close left and right. It doesn't seem like it has any practical use, because the available system memory is stuck at 14mb.
However, if this was developed into an installer, not just a live cd, then I could see it having a lot of potential. once you could utilize system resources it would be worth looking into developing drivers for.
For now it would be impractical and maybe impossible to establish a network connection.
'day everyone!
i have a dell xcd35 (aka zte blade gen 2) with android 2.2, stock rom.
the phone is rooted, and now has clockwordmod rom manager installed on it.
i previously used to own a windows mobile, and had an emulator software running on my windows 7 laptop. this s/w could emulate the screen from the windows mobile in real time on my laptop (with a manageable amount of lag).
i have the android sdk installed (cannot live without the adb shell, since i am a bit of a linux junkie), but i have been trying hard to negotiate a similar real time emulation of my dell xcd 35 phone onto my laptop.
has anyone managed to do it?
cheers!

Edit 1:
i have tried the webkey app. this app is not for me. the app routes your data through a webservice over a public (most probably secure) link, and is terribly slow. its a great app if you want to share your phone with someone remotely, but not good enough for continuous use through USB. also, it eats into your 3G network usage.
another try:
playing around with the emulator.exe in the android sdk.
i tried setting up a virtual device (avd). but not sure if this option can be used for emulating a phone screen, real time, on the laptop.
I am wondering if anyone knows of any way or if someone is working on a way to get ICS or JB to boot on a home-built PC? My PC is AMD 64, 8G RAM, etc. I have seen some instructions online, but they failed to mention that you must have a certain laptop or tablet. I would like to be able to tri-boot Android and run it whenever I feel like (probably use it the most). Thank you for any input.
Massive overkill. Why not simply run VMware and stick Android in a virtual machine?
android-x86
There is a project called "android-x86" - this might help you.
I tried android-x86. That is where I found out after several failures that you can only use a handful of specific Lenovo devices to boot into Android. Apparently there is a way to use Android 1.6, but who wants that.
As far as the overkill thing. Well I did build it as a workhorse PC. And I could run VM. But I would rather boot into it. I think it would be great for average tasks.
How difficult would it be to make it work for myself from AOSP?
Kernel build, hardware support etc. That's why I just run a VM for mime when I want to play. Also means I can access all my synched days such as SMS messages easily on my PC.
Sent from the darkest corner of my mind.
I tried running it on Virtualbox but it didn't go well so here is Android 4.3 running on VMware Workstation.
Download 4.3 from http://android-x86.org

Was this just a clean install from the .iso into VMWare? I'm guessing android-x86-4.3-20130725.iso from http://www.android-x86.org/download
Yes with the modification at boot to make it 1080p. Need to work out the best DPI for it though.
Running on virtual box but not well.
Anyone knows how to rotate screen there? often the game rotates it and then it becomes unusable as mouse directions also reverse.

I know this might be a bit late but I found holding F9-F12 works to force a set rotation.
VirtualBox is working fine. But where i'm very interested is the USB pass-through. I wonder how it performs vs VBox one.
I also know VMware got a virtual USB sniffer. It could be awesome to emulate/create/debug/use custom USB devices.
In example, i'm using an USBAudio sound card. Due to the actual limitation of Android, i'm not able to adress it from SDK (sadly !) and i must do from NDK. VirtualBox fails miserably when i try to open my USBAudio class device (the VM is crashing).
Does you USB devices are working with VMWare ?
Got success installing android 4.6 on a VMware 9. The problem is Apps installing.
I can install apps (.apk) from the internet like SnapPea but not from my computer (no explore) although I modified Android.vmx
Code:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" to "vlance"
Any idea?
Hi all,
I have an GoTab GTD7-C chinese tablet with the worst kit kat ever. Yes its with kit kat 4.4.4. but most of the apps and other things does not work properly. Its laggy and there is missing things. It does not work with bluetooth devices, sometimes I manage to send files, but very difficult. Wifi range is the worst :X., if I am 10 meters away from Wifi router I cant connect with it and etc. Tethering does not work. I am with the latest stock ROM. I have preinstaled it once, because of my experiments of installing directly ubuntu... offcorse with no success.
The tablet is with 1,2 GHz ARM® Cortex™-A9 ; RK3168 CPU ; Onboard Mail 400 Graphics Chip ; 8 GB Internal memory but 5 usable, 1 GB RAM rooted.
The only thing that worked well and I managed to run is Windows CE with Bosch app. I tried all kind of apps to run Linux without any success.
I sow few videos with installed (not running inside android trough vnc or Limbo PC and etc.) Ubuntu, Fedora and Windows CE. But I haven't really found working tutorial.
The Idea is completely to remove the android os OR Dual Boot two OS. Like Android and Ubuntu OR Android and Windows Ce7. Offcorse if there is way to install Win7,8 or 10 will be even grate.
So I need full tutorial and working links with ROMs, images and etc. Because I have spend hours and hours watching videos just on starting tablets with Win CE or ubuntu, but not how to's. I believe there is way, chinese do it, so I believe it is possible
PS: Dont ask why I dont by Win 7 tablet or et.c.... Android tablets in my country are cheaper..... that's why
Thanks in Advance for the help. I really appreciate it.
