I have a full backup of my phone,plus samsung and google backups.
i want to restore it onto something on a pc .(it should look just like a phone with all the apps+data,files etc)
Is there anything like this?
Thank you
Android emulators for PC are x86 / x86_64 based, Android phones are ARM32 / ARM64 based. So you need on PC an emulator that has libhoudini in-built - what is the ARM to INTEL translation tool - developed by Intel.

Hello all together and happy new year!
First of all -> Sorry for my english skills!
I currently work on some tools and images, specially for Windows 8.
1. Is there any requirement for Windows 8 Custom Toolkits?
2. Is somebody interested or has ideas in managing, deploying and cooking Images of Windows 8?
I am working with and using Windows 8 since its first beta (Developer Preview) and it is (yes, but in any user opinion) a new Vistaster. Technically it has a huge set of advances, like
1. Boot on any supported computer hardware (in case only neccessary drivers should be installed in OS) which implies Point 2:
2. Ability to boot from any bootable media (Tested on DVD (damn small Windows 8 / PE), BD, USB-Stick, SD-Card aso...) your Bios is supporting.
3. New, touch-friendly (and often buggy) boot menu (supporting USB 3.0, using it since grub4dos couldnt...)
I'm playing around Windows 8 PE, now downloading ADK for further development. My first milestone is to create a recovery environment which is able to make incremental OS backups and restore (using Microsoft WIM), flash an custom image to OS partition, all in a user-friendly, open-source UI application made with .NET-Framework 4.
Please tell me that nobody tried this before! And what do you think about this?
Hello!
I have created a custom Ubuntu distro called Danuntu. It can be installed on any device (not only sticks but also tablets) that have a recovery kernel and a Ubuntu kernel ported for their CPU. Here are danuntu's main features in a nicely formatted text column:
Easy to install.
Danuntu is extremely easy to install. All you need is a windows or linux system (you can even use a SE208BW or a raspberry pi!), your android stick,an internet connection and ten minutes.
Easy to use.
Danuntu is made to be easy to configure and use.Wireless configuration is simplified by wpa gui, and then you can have fun browsing the internet and playing games!
Lots of flavours.
Lxde, xfce, gnome, unity and kde desktop versions are aviable. Also a base version without desktops is provided. I am working on the enlightenment e19 flavour.
Pure Ubuntu experience.
Only a few additional programs are installed and everything is up to date.
Can be installed everywhere.
Danuntu can be installed not only on rk3066 sticks but also on any other arm(hf) stick, phone or tablet. I am providing danuntu versions without a kernel so that you can install your own.
To install danuntu simply follow the instructions on my danuntu website: danuntu.magix.net

Hi! Take a look at this situation: I have an Android x86 tablet (model Multilaser M7i Nb190) Intel, Android 4.4, but the internal emmc memory i'snt working anymore, but the rest of the device still 'works', Generic Android x86 boot up, even Ubuntu n' ZorinOS Lite, but I can go after setup screen because there's no touchscreen support for my device, I have the original rom, but the structure of the device rom and of the Android x86.iso seems to be different. How to port the device drivers (libs) to the Android x86 generic.iso rom? I have version of Android x86 4.4, its better to use it because it is the same version of the device rom (in general)? Thanks for any help. ... And why xda app still giving network error after trying to upload an image?!
I get stuck to install wechat 8.0.3 on android x86 virtualbox. I downloaded android x86 r9 from android-x86.org and install at virtualbox. After that, I tried to install wechat apk from my pc or from google play directly over virtual device, but it's failed to open in both cases. installation was successful and wechat apk was armeabi-v7a. but I am not sure why it's crashed when it's opened. Any help??
You installed a WeChat version what was compiled to be run on an ARM device: VirtualBox emulator runs apps compiled for INTEL devices.
You have to install WeChat UWP

Thanks, jwoegerbauer. Can you guide me how to install wechat uwp on android x86 virtualbox?
IMHO far easier is to install libhoudini - the ARM to Intel translator - on your x86-Android:
libhoudini/4.0.8.45720/system/lib/libhoudini.so at master · Rprop/libhoudini
the default ARM translation layer for x86, extracted partly from Nexus Player - libhoudini/4.0.8.45720/system/lib/libhoudini.so at master · Rprop/libhoudini

Thanks. I pushed houdini8_y.so into /system/etc and ran /system/bin/enable_nativebridge. APL was installed, but it's crashed at opening. In the log, it returns fault when it access to mmkv.so. Should I use 4.0.8 in android x86 v8.1?
Hello Community!
I am asking myself it is possibe to direkt boot a debian ARM Port or ARCH Linux ARM Port (maybe from SD Card) on my Smartphone? I saw lots of videos booting a Linux on Top of Android but i would like to "natively" run a OS. Where a Custom ROM typically has drivers for a special type of device i am thinking if a very generel distribution could detect most of the devices hardware...
Any Ideas if this would be possible?
AFAIK it's not possible.
Can you give me a (detailled) hint why you think this would not work?
When reading the informations: https://archlinuxarm.org/about/downloads
The released downloads are designed for the specific systems above; however, our package repositories work with any ARM device compatible with ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7-a, or ARMv8-a AArch64 instructions.
In TWRP i can select Storage - maybe starting from TWRP command line a image start from SD Card would be possible?
You initially said your goal is to completely replace Android by Linux ( ARCH Linux - what is for tablets only ) on a smartphone, IIRC.
Now you say you want to run Linux ( ARCH Linux ) on top of Android. Confused ...
hello! i meant that my smartphone can start the TWRP bootloader and from there the boot process could be (maybe) handed over to an image at the SD card....
thats the idea... ;-)
TWRP is a Custom Recovery means a restricted Android OS ( like Windows RE for Windows machines), not a bootloader ( what is comparable to UEFI / BIOS on Windows machines ).
The Android bootloader starts the recovery mode and the kernel, which then starts the operating system of your smartphone.
