Anyone know if there is a dev emulator(software type) for windows that I could use to test an tweak with, as I like the stability of my phone. I am just trying to start doing some work myself, so if I'm totally off as far as this even being an option let me know(nicely please ))

There is a way to set up android in a virtual machine butt haven't gone that root myself
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Closest thing you'll find is AVD which is android virtual device that we use to debug programs we write. Its part of the android sdk and gets integrated Eclipse when you set up your environment. Personally, I doubt it would be worth a damn for ROM making or tweaking. I am not sure how you would load any software on it other than vanilla android. Also its painfully ef'ing slow. I can't believe with my i7 and 16 gigs of ram it still takes 3 minutes to boot, and on my old laptop it takes 7 minutes. I really think big G could have done better with it, and its due for an over haul.

There is also the route of being able to run in vbox that I have heard, but my guess is that you would need an intel x86 kernel compiled for it....just a guess though.

I hate the look of the new market. It is using the game UI design as WP7 and I HATE how WP7 constantly hides things off screen and you have to just swipe madly to 'discover' if things are there or not.
ya its work on gs2

I don't think the update will be mandatory. Guess you can stick to the same old version, if you hate the WP7 look-a-like
I'm digging the new style, much easier to find things
It seems to be slower than the old market and consumes a lot of power (12% of my battery usage in 20min)
Ahh, you beat me to it. But, yes the App Market has a nice new graphical overhaul. I'm actually a fan of the WP7 UI, it's quite unique and fits my taste. Alas, I did not buy a WP7 b/c non of them sported dual-core processors. But that new WP7 SGS II is begging me to buy it, but I'll wait for quadcores and hexacores to come out, I'm fine with my SGS II.
Here's a mediafire link if anybody wants it @mcchimney could you post it on the first post there as well: http://www.mediafire.com/?vdocx41t37rnn6y.

There is also something strange about the market... I am seeing games like Modern Combat 2, BackStab, and Nova 2 on the Market. Last time I checked, Gameloft didn't release their games on the Market and my device can't play those games.

Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet
I hope they have intended some issues of old market in this new one. For example, there is no differentiation between Honeycomp & cellphone Androids during search. Also, they most drop the compatibility recommendation that makes some unable to download some apps. eg. I have a SGSII & ROM Manager is incompatible while all of you are running it!!!!.
I was intending to buy this device for JB, and because it's cool, but I was wondering, do you guys think there's any chance of installing WP8 into this device?
It would be nice.
not a chance whatsoever

Lol didn't mean to thank you, twas a accident.
But anyways, Widows 8 for ARM uses a module called a Trusted Platform Module. Afaik, it is a hardware chip that basically locks the device to Widows 8. That is on top of the signed images and secure boot type of stuff.

we might be able to run windows 8 given that the surface also uses tegra 3, so there could be a possibilty there, just saying, but windows is a pretty good os not that bad like you think, actually not bad at all.

Did nobody read what I wrote? This is not an issue of drivers/compatible hardware/supported hardware or anything like that.
This is an issue of Microsoft locking Windows 8 for ARM to certain tablets using secure boot implemented in the UEFI. They are also using TPMs to lock the tablets to Windows 8.

You don't want a windows 8 device. I have the HTC Titan and I've tried to live with a really limited app selection but it just doesn't work. There isn't even an official Pandora app, and a lot of others are glitchy as hell. The os is pretty bad ass but with JB being as smooth as it is wp7 loses a lot of appeal. My NGex arrives tomorrow.

Actually what your talking about locks windows to the surface tablet, not the other way around. You can easily emulate an insecure UEFI instance, after all that's how hackintoshes work

So, in retrospect, it could be possible to port Windows 8 RT to android devices?

Actually, I do want a Windows 8 device. I'm using a WP7.5 HD2 now. It's not as bad as you say, and as I don't use Pandora, it's not an issue for me. Also, most of the apps I use are not glitchy at all. What are you using?
I'm also not crazy about having that many apps on my device, so I'm totally fine with it. WP7 is a wonderful OS, please don't put it down just because you prefer something else.
While we wait for official Ubuntu on our phones, we can experiment with other ways to get it running unofficially.
There are numerous guides to running Ubuntu using a chroot and VNC but VNC is often considered slow.
I will suggest using this app (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14816535/AndroiX-debug.apk) instead of Xvnc. It's X window made into an app.
Start your terminal and chroot normally, then launch AndroiX. Now type in your terminal:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
xinit
and switch back to AndroiX running your Ubuntu desktop.
This sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it out
This is cool.
How much of a speed improvement have you noticed on this versus VNC
Wow, can't wait to try :victory:

If you really want to make us a favor, you should add more information. Just posting an APK from some Dropbox account is not going to help users.
What is needed:
1. There is this "AndroiX" project with a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/androix-users , which does not have a delivarable yet, and probably the APK you are refering to, has to do with that project. Can we get a proper picture as to what exactly that this APK support? Yeah, it's an X server, written in Java, that supports some X protocols. Can we get an APK from some official page?
2. Is what you mention related to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxats9ejrG0 ? It has even fewer information.
With a proper description, you will get dozens of Thanks. Or anyone who can pick it up.

Get the lastest apk here:
Adobe Flash Player
You will need to side load so "Settings->Security->Unknown sources" must be checked. Then use any file manager to select and install the download flash apk file.
As far as how smooth it works I've not noticed any issues.
Good luck.
So is it like on the galaxy s 2

No Android device that has come out in a while now has supported Flash. This isnt the fault of the OS or Google, it is because Adobe has shut down flash for mobile devices. The web just needs to move on past this dead format so we can stop with these incompatibility issues on new devices.

There are two ways to classify a format as dead. The first is if the company who controls and updates the format ends its life, which is the case for mobile devices and how I classify something as dead. The second is if the format is technically still alive but hasnt been updated for quite a while and no one or almost no one uses the format anymore.
The fact that flash is not supported on 100% of new devices, has not been supported on 90% of devices released in the past almost 2 years, and the products that do support it have reached EOL to me means the format is dead. People who design websites dont seem to have gotten the message yet though about their incompatibility with anything modern and all future devices. Hopefully they will get with the times soon.
