Using Latest CyanogenMod rom on Android Emulator ?

Hi there,
I was wondering if there is any way to use latest Cyanogen Eclair Rom on emulator.
I'm asking that because I am behind a proxy on my computer and I can't get the basic emulator to connect to internet with this proxy.
I thought I can use "Proxy settings" in the cyanogen rom to connect my emulator to internet...
Thanks !

Yes, please share with us on how to load the custom ROM into the SDK emulator. Thanks in advance.

I've already tried this link, but it seems that with latest cyanogenMod this procedure does not work anymore.
Did you manage to do it with CM 5.0.6 or 5.0.7 (which adds proxy support)? If so can you give me your system.img ?

Yes, it would be a great tip if anyone could tell us if it's possible to run CM 5.x.x and if so, how to do it.
I suppose we need a full nandroid backup to accomplish that and a link would be great.

I tried by doing a nandroid backup but it's not working (every app is FCing once the emulator is launched). I think it's because the kernel has changed in CM 5.0.7 but not sure, don't know a lot of things about rom kitchen..

I would also like to try a CyanogenMod image on the emulator. Anyone know how to create a .img file that can be used?

Has anyone been able to do this yet?

Any devs out there to try this?

Okay, *bump*
Any one gotten a device running a Cyanogen ROM to be recognized by the Android Development Toolset?

Apps Installed to SDcard?

Can we do this yet, or is it limited to Android 2.2 when we get it... I ask because the Aria does have rather limited internal memory, outside the use for a SDcard.

No we can't because we don't have a kernel to support it yet. As soon as we do, I'll add it to the liberated rom. That is, if we don't find our way to FroYo rom in the meantime.

well lets hope that Att and HTC get 2.2 out fast. Or if you or someone else can port the cyanogen mod from the MT3GS to the Aria

apps installer
there's an app called 'apps installer'..but i've had issue with it crashing..not sure why..

Has anyone tried adding the old method of Apps2SD to the rom? You don't need a kernel for that.
Here's a guide I built to add the old Apps2SD to a rom...doesn't matter which Apps2SD.

I haven't tried that method yet, and not sure if anyone else has, but I will give it a try sometime today. Thanks for that.

I would like to get FroYo soon. Idc if it has sense or not.

yeah i would rather install it to SD too

Being that Android is based on linux, I don't wee why programs can't be moved to the sd card and have a symbolic link where the app normally would install. It would work in desktop linux, so why not Android?

Well you can but Google only added that feature in 2.2, I'm not sure about the idea behind it.

Google added that feature in 2.2, but there has been workarounds using the Linux method (symlinks) since Android 1.0 via CyanogenMod.
I know my Darktremor Apps2SD uses this method of redirecting Android via symlinks to an EXT partition on the SD card. Even the dalvik cache can be redirected if desired.
I know that CyanogenMod has an Apps2SD or a way to launch it via /system/bin/sysinit (at least it does in the CDMA Hero). If anyone is interested in trying it, here's the link to 2.7.5 final:

If anyone tries it, let me know the results. Thanks.

help a noob

Hi i am new here and to new to android . I want to flash my xperia x10 form the stock software to 2.2 or higher. I have read most of the guides and am still unsure which rom and baseband to use. I am running Ubuntu 10.
thanks

I would suggest Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, it's fast and stable, and looks nice =)
It is also easy to install since it needs baseband .54, which you can get it from the .435 stock firmware directly.

i would have to agree that Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 would be the rom of choice. It is super stable and quite fast too.
You will need to root your phone, and then install xRecovery. Then you can install ROMS from the xRecovery menu.
Root using superoneclick and then copy the xRecovery APK to your phone and install it. Download the ROM files and copy them to your SD card, reboot into xRecovery and follow the ROM installation steps (backup all your stuff on your phone first - i suggest My Backup Root (from the market) - provided you have rooted it already). If you want to try different basebands, i have included a link for them too.
As for doing all this from ubuntu - i think you will need to be running a Windows VM or find another pc that has Windows installed, i tried from Ubuntu myself but it was just easier from a Winblows machine.

I'm also kind of a noob, but I really want to make this stuff work...
I took this thread as a base, I currently have the 2.1 official update on my X10. So far I used the superclick tool and it said it rooted my phone (how can I make sure it worked?)
Then I downloaded the stuff and run the xRecovery app, it said it granted some superuser thing, but then I see nothing else...
Any help appreciated, specially if I skipped some steps maybe?

if you want to check if you are rooted, intall titanium backup and see if the app runs. If it does, then you've got root.
I didnt get what you wanted to ask in the second part of your question though..

I was missing an app from the market
Ok I got it working
So far I'm testing this new stuff...woah, amazing.
Any recommendations of things (ROMs) I should try?
p.s. I got no signal and WiFi won't turn on... I guess this is normal?

@ aR_ChRiS and mrtim123
Second that Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 is one of the most complete 2.2 roms. But you'll want to look up post on how to:
- root your phone
- install xRecovery (requires busybox), and how to use it
In case if you "brick" your phone or get stuck in a boot loop, look up for "flashtool".
Hope this helps.

Edit:
Link to FlashTool: click
Link to the reference post for x10: click

I put together an easy to follow with step by step instructions and made it as noob proof as possible. Check it out, follow the guide in my sig. Iv tried to explain everything in as much detail as possible

Does Wi-fi work with this rom? And the camera?

WIFI, camera and everything else works great for me. Except for the camcoder, it's got a bit of audio sync problem if not using the right setting.

How do you get it to the right setting? and someone told me it drains your battery. is this true?

Yes battery life isn't that great but acceptable for me.
~24 hours under medium usage
~12-15 hours under heavy use
You need to have your focus setting set to infinity to have better audio sync.
To be honest I don't think the camcorder is up to average user's standard, but camera works just fine.
Things I like from this rom are:
- improved performance (very few lags, things run much smoother than stock 2.1 especially when texting)
- android 2.2 apps & features (gmail 2.3, flash, JIT...)
- no random reboots
- the unlock slider does not lag after the screen is off for awhile
Known issues to my knowledge:
- incomplete camcorder
- no live wallpaper

In case you haven't noticed tho, devs here have figured out a way to bypass x10's bootloader. This will enable us to load custom kernels.
All the roms here before the breakthrough are only built on top of the stock 2.1 kernel. That's causing some limitations in developing custom roms (issues such as having a working driver for x10 camera)
So if u can wait for a bit I'm sure there will be better roms (with android 2.3) coming in the next couple months! And Sony has announced there will be official 2.3 upgrade coming possibly during this summer.
However I've been using wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 for over a month now, would really recommend it if ur not that into video recording lol

[?] Wifi tether

Hi everybody,
I have a brand new x8, installed 2.2.1 cm but i have a problem, i cant use any wifi tether softwares, it says the kernel is wrong, barnacle starts but cannot be found. Sorry if it is a known bug, i don't really had time to google for it. Thanks for the answers.

it's a known bug, there was another thread like this today. we can't tether until we have custom kernel.

I have factory ROM but barnacle never workd . It shows tethering but client is able to find the conectoin

It works fine for me. Perhaps you are doing something wrong.
It works on custom roms, but after you're finished with your tether the phone will get the 'sd card is safe to remove' bug.

Tethering

Hi Peeps, anyone got tethering to work in infrastructure mode or Bluetooth in PAN mode? If so, how?
Barnacle works but it only create ad hoc mode.. and I cant seem to get bluetooth to work. Ive tried wireless tether but says netfilter cant be accessed. I guess we need a kernel that supports it. Any help would be great. THANKS

Haven't found any solutions, but I ended up patching my other devices to support adhoc mode. What are you trying to tether to your xperia?

Sorry, I have a question on the same subject. How do I tether an Android 2.2 phone to my X10 running stock 2.1? Ironic, I know

You have to install a program like barnacle (free on the market) but, don't if you have to root.......
I got it working on my old 2.1 ;-)
To have it to work in infrastructure mode, I think you must have the librairy compiled so, a custom firmware (not all have this)

the resolution are so simple.
buy a native 2.2/2.3 phone, such as ARC, cheap Samsung Galaxy mini etc.

Do you mean that some custom firmware can offer infrastructure wifi hotspot, and the stock 2.1 cannot?

I am trying to tether to Asus Transformer. Anyhelp would be great. Anyone? how bout the custom kernel? does that support netfilter?
