Android 4.4 x86 emulator image

Hello guys. Well, since Android 4.4 x86 image for emulator is not yet available for download from google's or intel's repositories, I built my own build. It's just pure Android 4.4 built from official repositories, no customizations. So, if you don't want to spend 5+ hours building it yourself, you can download it here:

To be honest, I'm not sure. You could be able to use it this way, but it's not made for this purpose. If you would like to use it for this purpose, you should get ISO image or build one yourself.

How do I change this into a ISO file so I can install it to virtualbox?

Guys, this is image for x86 emulator. If you want to have an ISO image, you should compile it yourself.

I have never compiled anything before. Is there some specific way to do it and is it easy? If not then where would I get the x86 emulator to make this image work?

Updated to version 1.1 - now uses branch android-4.4_r1.1
P.S.: I will not answer any questions which could be easily found on google

So I am guessing this is for the android sdk emulator then? If that is the case then it is a little too complicating for me. Isn't sdk emulators mostly for developers and enthusiasts? I am just interested in using an image for putting it on vmware and installing it for use. Well I guess I am off to search google for such a thing and if I find it I guess I will not bother to share it as it would seem everyone knows how to use google to find things that are "simple" to find as aptnutella says. Seriously why would I be asking about such a thing if I didn't already know that it is somewhere in google if I didn't already look. I have been searching everywhere and only found things about the sdk emulator. So I suppose I will keep searching since it is suppose to be simple enough to find.

Updated to version 1.2 - tag android-4.4_r1.2
If you are Arch Linux use, you can find package in AUR.

So this is for ANY device? I have the d2cri and there are no new roms being developed for it. I really want to be rid of KitKat and to get Lollipop but nothing I have tried has worked up to this point.

Just downloaded and installed this on to my MediaTek China phone. Unfortunately this app has not been active for the last 3-4 years. Shame as it would make a nice little community for all of the MTK users out there

MTK ROMs? Wowzers!

I probably wouldn't have found this if you didn't make a comment. Would you please point out what link you used to get a ROM, all the ones I see here are broken or non-functiomal. I've been looking for some firmware to put into my RCA Tablets that haven't made it past Android 5 Lollipop. I wish I could find something more up to date like Android 8.1

I didn't get a ROM. I merely downloaded this app to my phone, installed it and noticed that all of the posts were from 3-4 years ago.

are we going to see any updates soon?

Here's a usable link

I doubt it. I've been waiting for years searching for an update to my RCA tablets. I can Root them but then I have nothing to flash into it. So I, like everyone else is stalled.
Here's a workable link to the MTK app

Will Android 7.0 be available for yotaphone2?

Why does this guy have it?
Any solution we can flash nougat?

That guy doesn't have Android Nougat, it is fake. If you look at his firmware version it says that MM is installed. The modifications are done with xposed or other stuff. The android version written in "About Phone" can be changed anytime to anything manually, it's just matter of editing a text file in build.prop. The notification panel and the quick toggles are the same as those obtained using a particular xposed module which "N-tifies" those settings.
Regarding the fact if we will ever have it, who knows. At the moment Qualcomm hasn't released drivers for Snapdragon 801 to work with Nougat. So only back-porting might be possible. When YotaPhone 3 will be released (with Android N, 99% sure), maybe someone will manage to port its ROM to YotaPhone 2.

guys, I know that soon it will be possible to auto-update by WiFi to Android 6 - may be in a month...

fake

Did you see a parameter Sytem UI? It told us this guy doenload Nougat UI on YotaPhone 2! So It's fake! Latest ver. Of YotaPhone 2 Is Android 6.0.1 (Marshmellow)

any news about yotaphone 3? Hope will not have the same price release like YP2...

Yotaphone SDK v3 - how to install it on my Yota?

Hi fellows.
I've coded something using latest Yota SDK v3. Compilation does not give any error but the apk doesn't run on my Yota device and I think it's because the SDK v3 is not installed on it.
The details. As said, I compile successfuly using the SDK according actual instructions at yota web site, using:
dependencies
{
provided "com.yotadevices.libs.public:sdk:3.7.+"
}
(Which does not include the library onto the APK, yes, correct).
If I use the "false" condition at manifest file to do not require the library in the device <uses-library android:name="com.yotadevices.sdk" android:required="false"/> then the app is installed but it crashes saying the new Yota classes (like EpdIntentCompat and Epd are not found.
So I've deduced I don't have the library of the SDK v3 installed because if android:required="true" then I get the error INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
My device is YD201 with Android 5.0 Build number LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d (no system updates pending)
I read at Yota developer's web site that first requirement to use new v3 SDK is "1. Ensure that latest Android M software is installed;" and I assumed it was only at Android SDK but then you can target/install the App on Android 5.0, mainly because Android M is not yet released for Yota ¿?
So, what can I do?
Ps. BTW I would gladly code using SDK 2 but I can't find any documentation on Yota's site ¿?
Thanks!!

Heey, what are you making?
And well the documentation says it: you need android marshmallow for it to work. Your HK version phone will not update automatically to it. You would have to follow a guide to first get to 1.1.134 RU while keeping radio/modem unchanged and then install the latest marshmallow update. Thats what I did. But the process can be difficult and dangerous if you are not used to flashing phones.

Hi!
Well, I'm used to flash ROMs but I expect it will be automatically updated at some point, I hope after a while the MM updated will be rolled to other versions of YD201 than just RU (since I received the 5.0 as well). Anyway, I will manually flash it if not, no problem.
I've made an app and widget to display all notifications on EPD, which I miss on 4.4/5.0 but I think it will be useless on new MM version since it is already included as I've read, so...

Ok, I answer myself: yes, with Android 6.0 MM it works, the SDK v3 is included here. I've sideload updated my device to MM and it works now.

[Discussion]Will Project Treble help porting Android ROMs?

Will Project Treble make porting rom easy, like a one-day job?
Could we port roms between different hardware platforms on devices have Treble support?
For example, can we flash the system.img of Honor 9 into an Essential Phone PH-1 and boot EMUI 8.0 on it, or boot Essential's system image on Honor devices?That's not possible before Treble.

The short answer: no. System images from Huawei/Honor phones reference a ton of vendor-specific stuff that isn't available on other phones.

In fact the EMUI camera port is partly working on a xiaomi device,even rhe camera is related to a vendor.xxx.so file that is vendor-specific .The phone even don*t support treble.So I wonder if the vendor stuffs could also be ported.

Hi.
I will turn arround the question.
Will we be able to use the same ROM file (it can be LineageOS) on 2 different devices ?
The hardware specific applications can be installed like now we do it with weather service or root service for LOS or open gapps .
