[Guide] Android Emulator On Computer

If anyone is interested in running an Android emulator heres a short guide for it.
Step 1: ADB
If you haven't already, you need to install ADB on your computer. See this guide:
ADB Guide
Step 2: Configuration
Now open SDK Setup.exe from wherever your android-sdk-windows folder is and go to the [Virtual Devices] option and press [New]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this window will show up
Heres what to put
Name: Put something simple like "Android_2.2", etc
Target: From the dropdown box, select whichever Android version you want. I want Android 2.2 so I will select "Android 2.2 - API Level 8"
SD Card: Insert a size in MBs. I put 500(MB). The larger the size, the longer it will take to process. Ignore the File option
Skin: I would recommend you skip this option
Hardware: If you press the [New...] Button it will give you a bunch of options. Basically, you can configure if your emulator can support GPS, Dpad, Keyboard, etc. Most of them are enabled by default but you can increase the ram via "Device Ram Size". I set it to 500(MB) for example.
Heres what it should look like when finished
Click [Create AVD]
Step 3: Running The Emulator
Now open up CMD (Start>Run>Cmd) and enter the following commands:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (or wherever your "android-sdk-windows\tools" is)
emulator -avd "AVD Name" -partition-size 500 (AVD Name is whatever name you used in the beginning and 500 is the size of the emulators internal memory in MBs. You can increase the size if you want)
Now the emulator should show up and when its done booting up you should have something like this.
And you have your emulator
Step 4: Installing APKs
Now you might want to install some apps/games on it. You can either download APKs from the internet or rip them from your phone. First, open up another CMD (Start>Run>CMD) and type:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (Or whatever command you used in step 3)
To rip APKs from phone, connect phone to computer and put phone in USB Debugging mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging. Now go:
adb pull /data/app
Now in your android-sdk-windows\tools folder there should be a list of APKs. Now disconnect your phone and to install the APKs to the emulator, go:
adb install ______________.apk (Whatever the name is)
*NOTE* If you downloaded an APK from the internet, put it in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder first.
And there you have it. Enjoy!!!

Hi xGary,
i`ve done all the steps but when i type emualtor -avd Android -partition-size 500 tell me `emulator`is not recognized as an internal or esternal command, operable program or batch file.

Oh sorry, it was supposed to be emulator not emualtor. Typo

Thanks for the guide but how do you make the emulator landscape?

emulator does not show up
Hi,
I followed all the steps but after starting emulator from cmd no window came. Infact two or three times a black cmd window appeared and dissappeared instantly. was not able to read the text on the window.....
on other forums, somebody suggested to wait for a while....but i waited for about half n hour...nothing happened....
i can see a process "emulator.exe" in taskmanager which is consuming around 50% of cpu usage...and 18 MB ram......
My computer config: Pentium dual core with 4 GB of RAM
kindly guide....thanks in advance...

You may start the emulator by selecting the avd and press "Start" button. I did it today and works fine.
I just saw the guide here but luckily (I'm newbie to this) I did exactly the same steps except the start the emulator through CMD.

Btw if you go to se's dev website you can grab a preconfigured x10 avd.

Take a look at the description:

Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 add-on for the Android SDK
The Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 add-on for the Android SDK includes the complete Android system with additions customizing it for the X10 : Sony Ericsson splash screen; X10 colour backgrounds; A "skin" of the X10 which is a simple graphic of the front of the phone; A hardware.ini file to set the operating parameters for screen, camera, audio and so on.
According to date this "complete Android system with additions customizing it for the X10" is for Android 1.6. I didn't dig pretty deep, but search for a new version wasn't successful. It can be a base, but look like requires a lot of customization for current Android version.

@che
But what do you plan on doing with it? And can you not use the hardware profile while using 2.1 apis?
@ freco no prob

[Q] trouble installing adb USB drivers on windows

I am attempting to root my HTC Panache (MyTouch 4G) with this guide.
The problem is with the first step which is installing adb and the USB driver. The guide referred to the cyanogenmod wiki on installing the android SDK. I believe that I followed all the instructions correctly but it does not show that my drivers are installed properly in windows device manager and CMD.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So here is the entire process that I took:
installed java sdk exe
downloaded Android SDK zip file and extracted to root C:\
opened SDK Manager
installed "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 6" (revision 4 not available) and "Google USB Driver package, revision 4" packages in SDK manager
went into control panel > system > advanced settings > environment variables > double clicked "Path" > added ";C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools"
downloaded and replaced the default "android_winusb.inf" file with the modified file from the cyanogenmod wiki
enabled "USB debugging" and ensured USB was in "charge only" mode in phone
opened CMD and typed in "adb devices", didn't show anything
opened windows device manager and found an "Android Phone" device with the yellow exclamation mark instead of "Unknown Device" with ADB listed under it as mentioned in the cyanogenmod wiki
right clicked and update driver software, clicked browse and located the "C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver" folder with the modified .inf file
"Windows was unable to install your Android Phone"
I've been trying many things for hours so any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

All I needed to do was install the .exe you gave me, restart the computer, device manager > right-click the unknown android phone device and "scan for changes", then the driver automatically installed! confirmed with cmd > adb devices.
Thank you!

Np, the generic drivers normally don't install anyway, have to use the htc ones instead.

Off-topic but, another problem.
I've successfully generated the CID with SimpleGoldCard but it seems that the gold card IMG generator website psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard is down.
Will it be online again? Is there any other way to get the IMG file?

I have no clue what the gold card is really, I last heard about it when people were rooting the magic. Since you mentioned CID, are you trying to unlock the phone fir other carriers ?

No, I do not need to unlock it. The phone is from my carrier Mobilicity, but people referred me to use the Videotron HTC Panache guide (link to thread in OP) because it has a newer ROM version and making a gold card allows to "flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device - in other words, it allows you to flash files that were not made for your phone."
Basically, there was a back-to-school sale on the HTC Panache from Mobilicity and people who wanted to root (and unlock) it followed the guide above.
Please give me any suggestions, thanks!

Odin is not recognize by my phone since CM 10.1 been installen on my phone
Good day!
Since Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly been installed on my phone, Odin does not see the phone anymore even is the USB debugging is active on the phone. I am able to see the phone using the command ADB devices -l. I need Odin back because I want to put back the stock firmware on my phone which is Jelly Bean 4.1.2. from Virgin Mobile.
Can someone tell me why ADB can see my phone and not Odin?
Thank you!

The best guide to rooting and installing roms

[Under construction]
Hello,
Since I see that a lot of people are having trouble with rooting and installing roms, and since their isn’t a guide for everything I decided I’d write thing.
Table of contents
Intros
-I.1: Intro
-I.2 Support list
-l.3 What is rooting?
--Pre rooting:
1.1 Downloading our utils
1.2 Prepare our transformer
--Rooting
2.1 Rooting
--Recovery Installation
3.1 Recovery and roms
3.2 Different roms
--what to do with root
4.1 WTFWR
________________________________________________________________________
I: intro
This guide is presented in the easiest way. If you follow each and every step you should be fine. With that said I cannot be held responsible if you mess up your device in any way
I.2 Support list
This guide is meant to be universal as possible. I can guarantee this will work with original us transformer. I’m not yet sure of the slider, 3g or ww models. Please confirm them working below in the comments. Keep in mind you should always check the support of the rom you want to use by looking at by checking the thread.
l.3 What is rooting?
Rooting a great thing. With it you can install roms, ,make backups and overall great backups. Below is a article on it:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Root-Your-Android-Phone,review-1688.html
________________________________________________________________________
1.1 Downloading our utils
STOP: If you have a device running .19 or below use razor claw for rooting. Then, afterwords if you want to install recovery the a rom jump to 3.1 Razorclaw doesn’t require you to have a computer.
Before we begin we will need to get our computer ready to root with nacho root. Head over to
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

}
to download the android sdk. Get the zip it’s easier. Once you download it and unzip it. Place the folder in the root of your C: drive (just trust me)
Now double click SDK Manager
Check the box next to “android sdk platform-tools” then click install X packages. Accept any terms that come up. The sdk is now installing. Ignore any errors. Wait till it’s done
Cool, now to get your asus usb drivers. This will help our computer recognize our device. Go to
http://support.asus.com/Download/ModelList.aspx?SLanguage=en&keyword=eee pad&type=1
Select your device, The for the OS dropdown box choose “OTHERS” Then hit the plus next to “UTILITIES (1)”. Under that click Global (DLM). Wait till it downloads then install it.
Finally to get our rooting software. We will be using nacho root from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838&page=1
Download Nacho root and SU
Pic 6
Go back to your android SDK folder we download earlier. Put both of the files in the “Platform-tools”
Pic 7
1.2: prepare our transformer.
Go into the settings. On the left click application. Make sure “Unknown sources” Is checked. Then click development. Make sure “Usb debugging” is checked.
2.1 rooting. It is rooting time. Make sure your device has a good charge on it. Then hook it up to your computer.
Go to your computer and open cmd by hitting the start button then typing in cmd. In the windows type in:
Cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Make sure you have the space between cd and C: If an error returns you didn’t follow the tutorial and put the folder in the correct path. If that is case use the right path.
Pic 8
Hit enter.
Now type in:
Adb devices
A random string of number should appear, if not your don’t have your asus usb drivers installed correctly.
Here is the instruction for you to type in to root from the dev. Do it one line at a time. Do not type in any of the <wait for boot> things.
Code:
adb push nachoroot.bin /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/nachoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage1
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage2
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell id
<if id is 0 / root then continue, else start over>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --undo
adb reboot
If you did it right an your device didn’t turn into an ipad you should be ok. Go to the market. Get super user. If all goes well you have root.
STOP: Now if you don’t want to install recovery and get a rom (which I HIGHLY recommend) this concludes the end of the tutorial. Feel free to view the information after the recovery and rom section.
3.1 Recovery Installation and roms.
THIS REQUIRES A MICRO SD CARD
If you are here you must want to get recovery, install a rom, and make your tf 1000% times better.
To begin go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
Get the app either on your computer OR your transformer. Install it, and click the giant button. Let it do it’s thing. Now you have recovery, which allows you to install roms.
Time to boot in recovery. Get this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173434
and click the oversized button to boot into recovery. (Yes you can do the other method by turning of your tf and holding both power button and bottom volume at the same time then clicking vol up when you see text, but that requires more then one finger.
There you go. You’ll see a recovery screen.
NOW pay careful attention. Once you are there we need to make a backup. Use your vol keys to scroll down to “Backup and restore”. Select it with the power key. Now make a backup by clicking backup (With the vol and power keys from now on obviously). Now you have a backup. To install a rom simply get the rom from the xda section (check comp. and don’t get nflash) and put it on your micro sd card. Boot into recovery. Scroll down to “install zip from sd card”. Then choose zip from sd card. Find the rom you put on the micro sd card. It should install. If this was to difficult view this kind man’s vid tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWdfce9wBjs&feature=related
May be wondering what rom you should pick. I recommend revolver, because the dev is offering me a large some of many to say that (Just kidding ). But really revolver is great.
Others include:
Prime
Revolution
And many more at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1107.

I wonder why there has been no one at least thanking you for your effort in writing this reference,
However i followed your instructions and have been successfully able to root my Transformer,
Thank you very much
keep it up

[A70B/IT2 HC][3.2.81 update] Enabling SDE and rooted firmware package

First:
Warning! This is only for A70B/A70IT2 Honeycomb model, It won't work on Froyo model!
Here is a package that enables unofficially SDE menu in recovery and install a rooted stock firmware with busybox and SuperUser.Apk
Pre-Requisite:
- Adb must be enabled on tablet and PC driver+adb command must be working. You can test on pc with "adb shell", it should give you a '$' prompt. If you don't have this, first make it work. There are multiple links around to help if needed.
Instructions:
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory.
- Launch enable_sde.bat on your pc. It's better to do it in a cmd.exe window, you'll be able to copy-paste log here if anything goes wrong.
- Follow instructions in the cmd window. Basically, script reboots tablet multiple times, you have to press enter when tablet is completely booted each time.
- Congratulation, your device is sde enabled and has a rooted sde firmware. Please read below for more information.
Upgrades:
If you already installed a first version and enabled sde already, here is how to install new rooted firmware:
- Optional: flash updated stock firmware. I always recommend to match stock firmware, it avoids dalvik-cache rebuilds and bootloaders may have been updated in new firmwares.
- Boot rooted firmware. You should be running rooted firmware if you want upgrade script to work. To be sure of that, you should see SuperUser app in your apps menu.
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory
- Launch upgrade.bat (or upgrade.sh for linux)
- Tablet reboots at the end to rooted firmware and should be upgraded to new version.
SDE information:
1) What is SDE?
SDE (Special Developer Edition) is basically a dual boot mechanism. It allows us to dual boot Archos stock firmware and our custom ones.
2) How does it work ?
I won't give much details on how to use it, I should do a separate topic about this one someday. Until then, here is some basic information:
- At the end of this script, you are booted with sde firmware, superuser should be in your start menu and you should be root with adb or any root app.
- If you reboot or boot, press volume up while booting, it will display the dual boot menu. Select "Developer Edition", it will start the rooted build (check here point 9 to see how it looks).
- If you missed volume key or don't do anything during reboot, you will go back to unrooted stock firmware. You have to press the volume up key during boot to get the boot menu.
- Warning: booting stock firmware is harmless except that you will loose your SuperUser.apk preferences. As it's not part of stock firmware, Android clears it.
- You can boot straight to rooted firmware by deleting the stock firmware kernel in recovery. Check here, do point 4,5, and on screen 6, select "Remove Android Kernel". Make sure that you have properly working SDE firmware before doing that. If you want to re-enable back stock firmware, just flash it from recovery again.
Downloads:
3.2.80 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (Mediafire), Mirror 2 (Sendspace).
3.2.81 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (SendSpace) (bat fixed)
Sorry, Mediafire no longer let me upload without signup, if you know one good upload location without registration and allowing more than 200 MB, let me know.

*reserved*

Registered just to say thank you!
Worked like a charm, and no problems using the shell script (I run Arch Linux)
Keep up the good work!

I think there is an error in upgrade.bat and enable_sde.bat for 3.2.81.
The line that reads:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /media/
should read:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
Also, upgrade.bat is missing the line that says:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Ah! Right! Thanks for pointing it, I'll fix that and re-upload when I find time to do it.
Also, upgrade.bat is missing the line that says:

Click to expand...

Yes, this is normal, this one is only needed when enabling sde first time. local.prop is coming from temp root and won't be there anymore.

I finally had time to try it out tonight, all seemed to be installed fine, but I don't see the Superuser in the apps list... I can boot into developers fw menu though. Did I miss something or should I just try to reinstall the SDE again by running that bat file again?

No, as ColinTaylor said, there is a typo in script, you just need to push the ext4.update at root of storage.
Just type this command in the directory you unzipped the files:
Code:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
then boot sde.

adb is a developer tool from android sdk that let you execute commands on your tablet from your PC. You have to install android sdk to get it, you need to enable it on the tablet and have a proper driver.

[HOW TO] RockMyMoto Guide for Windows! [*NEWB PROOF*]

So if you were like me and upon first watching JCase's video for RockMyMoto and were confused, this is for you. This guide will cater to Windows users since Mac and Linux users should be able to follow along seamlessly to JCase's steps. The steps here are no different, the commands are the same, just an extra application that works better than the Windows built in Telnet client.
First off I just want to thank JCase for taking so much time to release this for us. All credit goes to him.
Download Cydia Impactor (Thanks Saurik!) from his website HERE.
Download the RockMyMoto.zip attachment from JCase's post HERE.
Next download the PuTTYtel file "puttytel.exe" (You don't need the full application) HERE.
The initial steps are the same regardless of platform. I won't go into details on getting ADB set up, etc. Follow JCase's video and guide for all of that or search around XDA. Chances are someone else has explained this.
***STEP ONE***
So at this point your phone should be connected to ADB and you should have your IP Address. Leave your ADB window open as we will go back to it later. Run the Cydia Impactor application from the above download.
From the drop down menu, select:
Code:
# start telnetd as system on port 2222
Click on start and you should see a series of messages saying testing, installing, waiting to complete (a couple others) and then it goes back to the # start telnetd" message. This is OK.
***STEP TWO***
Run the "puttytel.exe" file downloaded from the link above.
From the initial screen, enter in your IP Address from the ADB terminal in the box where it says "Host Name (or IP Address).
Enter "2222" without quotes in the box listed as Port.
Make sure the connection type has Telnet selected and then click "Open" at the bottom.

A PuTTYtel window will open up where we will enter the code JCase provided.
***STEP THREE***
In JCase's video he types in the line:
Code:
telnet {IP Address} 2222
We don't need that step as we already connected it through Step 2.
Proceed to run the exploit:
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
After the first run, it will say to "ADB Reboot" your phone.
Open up the ADB window from earlier and run the command:
Code:
adb reboot
This will reboot the phone.
***STEP FOUR***
Because PuTTYtel is connecting to the phone to run the exploit, rebooting the phone closes the connection. We need to redo Steps 1-3, running the Cydia Impactor, opening PuTTYtel and connecting it using the IP, and running the same exploit command. The phone reboots itself after the second exploit command so no need to adb reboot again.
***STEP FIVE***
Checking for root. After the exploit has been ran three times, go back to the ADB window and type the following:
Code:
adb shell su -c "id"
If you get the return message saying:
Code:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
You're done and rooted! Go install SuperSu from the Play Store and make sure to throw a couple bucks JCase's way for making this great tool.

Thanks a ton!

No problem. Let me know if you can get it to work on your desktop. I'll stick around in IRC for awhile as to not clog up the thread.

Awesome!! I struggled a bit until I read this. Great Job!!

Worked like a charm.
Now just that damn VZ bootloader...

Also, for those of you reading on rooting and not really confident enough to use adb I suggest this .exe.

Its a minimal adb shell. Simple and easy to use, just install the program on a windows machine, open it up, plug in the phone, start your commands.

My issue:

^you adb push'd .zip instead of .jar. Rerun it through adb. Then it'll work. Happened to me as well.

The OP updated his mistake, instead of pushing the .zip, it should be the .jar

When I run impactor it just sits at testing #9950697. I've tried it a few times and each it does that. What can I do??

Try disabling your windows firewall?

You need to check your phone now there was a pop up box from google warning about unauthorized software just click ok.

in PuTTytell I keep getting this error: "Permission denied". Any ideas?

after root should i find an icon like the ones that show pwn...?

After root you will need to go to play store and install superSU. Then open it and update binaries.

I don't believe there is. If you don't want to use xposed framework and get extended power options, then the only options to get to recovery (that I know if) are
1) power off> volume down with power> volume down to recovery> power up to select.
2) Adb reboot recovery
