Hello
I can register a gmail account on my tablet without providing a phone number. I'd like to achieve the same outside a android device. Like on a windows machine. Maybe using a virtualized Android system...... I am open for anything.
I tried VirtualBox and ISOs from android-x86.org but no luck.
Thank you

Why not try an android emulator such as Bluestacks or similar android emulator?
You can install the same android that is on your tablet in the emulator.

Bluestacks I did try. But it also asks for a phone number during the registration process. There must be something specific about the used android version, or the app itself.
Hm strange, I use Bluestacks, a very nice service... Have you tried using Memuplay? It's another service similar to Bluestacks, but I guess is less known.

So you did try to register a new gmail? And you've not been asked for a phone number?

I didn't try, but I suggested you another Android emulator that I know, thought you could try that one.
Use LDPlayer - But the IP address must also be clean =) It would be good to somehow automate it further. )

If you're asking what i think you're asking, no.
ADB is included in the Android SDK tools. This is a windows program (IDK if there's a mac version or not), not an android app, it cannot be loaded onto an android device.

You could always use emulators ..........
I know you can use different virtual applications that will allow a person to run Android on a Windows device. For example:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-install-and-run-android-4.0-on-mac-windows-pc-or-linux-tutorial/
What I'm wondering is . . . is it possible to remove the Windows OS on a netbook and run Android 4.0 instead? If so, does someone have a link they can point me to?
*BUMP* Anyone?
Yes, it's possible. Just burn an ISO with Android-x86 (ICS RC1), delete all the partitions you have on your netbook and then create two - one ext3 for Android (4-8GB should be ok) and one fat32 for your data. Then boot Android installer and install on ext3 partition. And yes, it can boot as a normal system.
Teoretically it should work. Don't know if there are any more things to do.
Thanks for the info, so you're saying it's possible to dual boot, windows or Android, just as long as I have the partitions set up correctly? Has anyone else done this? If so, do you have a link to a tutorial or thread? I appreciate the help!
I might try to do this when my I disconnect service to my netbook. Is the android version that is installed rootable?

For what I see, Android x86 comes with the SU command, so it's already rooted.
Hell yea. Since there isnt a boot loader there is no need for unlockig either.

You probably want your data partition something other than FAT32, because it has problems with larger files...
Android-x86.org
There i got 4.0 fully ru.ning on pc

It is indeed possible, I have done it. If you have the partitions setup right the installation is pretty straight forward, it asks if you have Windows so it's dualboot capable, it will install GRUB and add the Android and Windows items to it for you.
Format your hard drive to ext, then install the Android-x86 project.

You really don't even have to do this, you can install it to a FAT32 partition (I think even an NTFS. But by doing so you can't have root.

not sure the point of this , I **** canned WIN7 on my netbook and put Kubuntu on it and it flies now , Windows slowed it down, but Android I dont think would do anything for me, its like running Windows 8 on a desktop (which I am doing right now because I dont have an ARM available)

Windows 8 consumer preview is not that bad on a desktop but Android is indeed not that useful on a desktop at all. Although on a laptop of any kind, it's pretty nice as an instant on.

Well if thats the case just download the app Bluestacks, then you can keep Windows and run all your android apps in a second! Personally speaking , on the netbook ,windows uses too many resources for it to be useful , Kubuntu only uses what you want and therefore is far superior (on this platform)
When you get a new Android phone, you are the Windows equivalent of a "Standard user".
When you get SU access, you become "Administrator" (The technical term for linux systems is "root").
So, that being said, is it possible to exploit the Windows desktop operating system and gain Administrator-level permissions as a standard user?
In an oversimplified statement:
Can you "root" Windows?

I don't understand why you would need to have administrator privileges on a standard user account when you are free to switch from standard to admin and even to use the admin account as the default account....
Yes it can be done. As stated above. There are also scripts that will make the current user the owner of all folders and files.

I would want to do it because I am currently using library computers and I need to install drivers for my phone and it won't let me because I'm not an admin. I need the drivers to use ADB (use the links in my signature to look at the stuff I need ADB for). I already tried rebooting in Safe Mode (for XP). I also need it for Windows 7.

You won't find anything to work if their IT was good enough as you would have to download the script to do it.

Oh I see. There are good reasons why public computers doesn't have admin privileges, and you shouldn't try to tamper a computer that you don't own. And like zelendel said above, their IT probably did everything to lock that pc...

Hi,
I would like to know how I can check the code of an app. I would like to connect my phone to my laptop and play and app on my phone. I would like to see the real time code/debug on my laptop. How can I do it?
How to install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux
If you're on Windows, Linux or macOS, you can follow these step by step instructions to install ADB on your desktop or laptop PC.
www.xda-developers.com
Install the Android Studio on your laptop.
Connect your phone to your laptop with an USB cable.
Enable the 'Developer options' as well as the 'USB Debug' option on your phone.
Start your app project in Android Studio and run into debug mode.
Thx for the feedback.
In this case I would like to install an app on my phone from the play store. Play a game on the phone and see on my laptop where the score is stored. Idealy I can place a breakpoint on request. Is this possible with the android studio?

First of all, you need to extract the .apk file for that app from your Android device. Then you will have to decompile source codes from the .apk file.
But as you know, maybe this is illegal because thus reverse engineering violates intellectual property protection.
first you are going to need to get 2 APK
The first one is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherX_1.0.40152940
The second one is Google_base.apk
Then you are going to put your Android 9 version into developer mode you need to allow USB debugging and select USB configuration to any protocol such as media transfer protocol
When you did that you can sideload your two APK files when that is done you are going to need an app on your mobile phone called called remote adb shell. Find out the ip address of your box go to network and ethernet and you will find your ip adress. Go to your phone open remote adb shell put in your ip adress and 5555 on the second line click connect . Now you have two possibilities either remove the current launcher or disable it if you want to keep it
issue the following command
pm uninstall –-user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
if you want to reinstall the old launcher the command is as follow
cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher
Go back to your android TV and you should now have the google tv launcher , as a side note some countries might need to use a VPN to make it work properly although it was launched officially cheers.

Thank you my friend but this is not much; I hope when you try it you let me know how it went; there is also an app that can help with the installation if you are not comfortable with ADB however I don't know if the app permanently applies the launcher changes or if you must choose it each time you logon; in any case here is the link to the app the app is called android tv home

I'm trying to get this on a Nvidia Shield TV 2017 specifically for the purposes of having voice search work in sideloaded apps and browsers. The voice search works on sideloaded apps on the Chromecast with Google TV, so can you voice search sideloaded apps and browsers with this UI on your device(s)?

Thanks. But is it just me or these files actually not attached here? Could you please also attach these files? Thanks in advance.
You need to highlight the text, right click and copy into your browser or select search. The files are there. Not everything is an easy link in the hacker world. You must do the work and think.
Great , the steps you describe are working fine. I'm successfully able to install.

Im having a hard time finding "google_base.apk". Thanks to Mattc001 for attaching the xlauncher 1.1.11, I couldn't find that version, only 1.0.xx so ... yes your right, there should be some homework needed to be applied, it sure helps though when the files or "requirements" are attached. For one, it's trusted that the software used is the trusted one from the OP. Secondly, ... just revert to one.
@Mattc001 Could you please elaborate on the "google_base.apk" ... where to find? Is it under a different title name vs. file name? I'm really interesting in your findings. I just recently acquired a TCL with Android TV or maybe its Google TV and would really like to take advantage of tweaks, mods, and things to better enjoy the experience and boost performance.
Thanks in advance.

Instead of Google_Base I added another version "com.google.android.katniss_6.12.20221010.3-14001602_minAPI24 (armeabi-v7a, x86) (nodpi) _apkmirror.com" Apparently this is it. Everything works but I have to be on VPN USA all the time because otherwise Home or the tab for you - it does not appear at all and I have an error. There is a chance to bypass the need to use vpn from the USA for the home tab to work? Thanks
