AVD stands for 'android virtual device'. AVDs are is used by the Eclipse IDE for developing apps for the Android system. Essentially, when developing an app it is very useful to check it against the AVDs of different android devices to ensure that the app will perform properly on each device.
When I asked for help, I thought that this forum - namely xda-developers - would be able to point me to sources of the AVD's of various android devices. I'm surprised that no-one seems to have heard of them - are there any andriod app developers that read this forum?

Hey im new to xda developers and i jsut have an easy questions how do you install android on htc diamond. I am a noob so i dont quite understand all the HaRET and stuff but could anyone walk me through it ima fast learner and if it works out for me i will gladly donate to this site =)
have you been to that devices sub forum? that is where you need to start.
can u send me the link please
ok well easiest way to explain it is to visit the wiki let me find it for you ill also like to the touch diamond android development which is the best place to find new builds
android wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux
best source of new builds is from my knowledge is the touch hd android forum, because this device currently doesn't have a nand flash i don't think diamond does either, and these are all haret builds which should work on any winmo phone.
but let me explain what will need to be changed, if you get the cab from here and install then select your device the startup text should be ready made for your device but the startup txt is the best way to make sure the build is made right for you phone i know with my phone the touch hd that lcd.density in there needs to be set to 240 because other wise apps don't fit on the screen. so just experiment around a bit, if you need any help skype me on slaming1 and ill try and help you as much as i can, but i aint no dev so don't expect me to be much more knowledgable than you
ai man i think i get the concept now. So theres so many android files to download can u send me the best one for the diamond thanks
yo i tried it and i put everything where it belings but when i use haret to boot itit says CANNOT OPEN SCRIPT FILE/INTERNALSTORAGE\TMP\DEFAULT.TEXT
PLZ HELP

EDIT:

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!

Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.
Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!

Thanks for your reply, but that's not what I'm asking for. I already know about that. I want to start developing my ROM from the beginning. I'm asking if you know how can I get a fresh Android and edit it.
so you want to build a rom right from code to a working rom if so i will hunt around and see what i can find
yeah, pls report if you find anything cause I'm interested too...
read this and look around in the android chef section
In Google type aosp an click android open source.
Then in page click source
Read on from there

Hello, I just converted my HTC HD2 from W6.5 to android nand 2.2, and so far I'm really impressed at the speed and the available apps. However, I cannot connect to the internet without using my home wifi. I have seen the other threads saying to download the datacontroller.cab file and I have done that. But I can't open the file to download it or get it to work.
I know this is a newbie question, but that's what I am.
Help? Let me know what additional information you need and I'll get it!!!
Thanks kindly in advance!
So you can't get mobile network working on win mobile or android?

Whichever build you are using is old and will probably have many bugs. Try a newer build. Also, as far as I know .cab files do nothing in Android, these are for WinMo.
Nigelgd, where do I get the info to run a newer build?
Thanks
in this section you are in, , see teh top thread?
''**HD2 Android Q&A and General - Sticky Roll-Up Thread**''
look in there, read the guides.
Samsamuel, that didn't work either. The buld downloads no longer exist.
Maybe I'm trying this out too late?
Oh dear... first choose a ROM you like. I personally recommend Typhoon CM7 but you can choose pretty much any ROM in the Android NAND Development section on the first page. Then follow this guide to get your Android build running.
Hello all!
I got it figured out. From searching the internet, I found a site that walked me thru the fix. It's the APN settings in the mobile networks, under settings.
Thanks to all who support this website, I'm going to like using my phone now! And to think I almost sold it for $50!
Hi
Using HTC Leo with Windows 6.5 from US T mobile.
Was able to boot to Android twice using Haret.exe. Booting into Android had pattern lock (which was never set previously) or google account (no one used Android on the device). Removed the battery and booted into Windows 6.5, not sure of the Android version copied on the device.
Am now unable to boot into Android again, it stops at jumping to kernel... need to remove battery to boot into Windows.
Am a novice and need your detailed expert assistance.
Appreciate your guidance.
Rgds..
Zac
Hi Zac, welcome to the forum.
Did you buy the device with an android build on the sdcard? Else how do you not know which android rom is on it?
What is the folder name which has haret.exe in it and what other files are in that folder?

My cousin used it in USA and gave it when visiting. He never made any changes on the device - did not even know Android folder existed. I was browsing through the CD card contents and found it.
It is on my Storage card under Android folder- has CLRCAD and HARET exe files.
Thanks
i would forget about using that android folder and either choose another one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev
or choose to install a rom using NativeSD method, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437
or perhaps get rid of wm6.5 altogether and install android or wp7
best of luck

Also, how good is wp7?
Appreciate your expert guidance.

a working link to which particular rom?
we have an unwritten rule that says do not ask "what is the best rom" since that is a personal choice. So i won't just give you a link to my fav(s)
some links are old and not working, if i have the rom on my hdd i can usually upload a mirror for it, or someone else might if requested to in the thread, unless the OP (original poster/post) of the rom thread specifically states "no mirrors". It is usually worth searching the thread for "mirror" and reading the last few pages, as someone may well have already posted a mirror.
