[Guide] Genymotion | Android On PC (formerly known as AndroVM). - Android Software Development

Hi there!
Thanks SAMANTHA for featuring the guide on XDAortal
​
Ever thought of running Android on PC? Trying out apps and playing with it?
Genymotion, provides the best Android virtual environment out there and runs Android 4.1
So let’s start installing it.
This guide will help you installing Genymotion !
Note:-
This tutorial is based on Windows 7 HP 64bit
Know how to use your PC. I do NOT teach PC 101. Don't ask for clarification of this process – it is dirt simple if you are competent (- attn1).
[*]Specs of the system used. (Full details in Signature)
Intel Core i7 3610QM
nVidia GT 650M 2 GB DDR3
8 GB RAM​
You'll need the following: -

You can even set the coordinates/ configure GPS.
It comes Pre-rooted
You can even set custom resolution..
ADB
ADB can be used for various purposes like copying a file to VM, installing apps, debugging, etc.
You'll need the following files :-
ADB
You'll need to connect to VM. VM's IP is 192.168.56.101 (is customizable). Use the following command to connect.
Connect
Code:
adb connect 192.168.56.101
or
Code:
adb start-server
adb connect 192.168.56.101
Basic Functions
ADB push (sends files to your VM) --
Code:

ADB pull (Receives files from your VM) --
Code:
adb pull /system/app/example.apk example.apk
ADB install (installs application) --

Note:- The files pushed / pulled / apk installed should be in the directory of the ADB folder or else you may have to write the whole location of the file.
Issues.
The issues I faced are as follows :-
Flickering issue (Maybe due to nVidia GPU.) It's fine now.

I saw a post on AndroVM not to long ago saying that similar games were working on a test build. So should we see this support pretty soon?

Where does Genymotion save the download? Can not find how to define the download dir in options.
Ok, found it, in c drive AppData, that is bad as I keep all my download to non-ssd drive.

Is there a way to run a custom ROM this way?
Thank you for the excellent guide!!

both virtualbox and genymotion have versions for linux.
so it probably would work using the proper install versions.

Forgive my ignorance but what do I need to do here?

adb says: "unable to connect"

This is really awesome.
Pinch to zoom doesn't seem to be working on my win8 tablet. Something I'm doing wrong...or not supported?

hmm, I've been able to get it to work just fine with and without admin. UAC should still be off for that to work.
Looks pretty useful. I was thinking of a way to get an APK install over a network/internet IP rather than locally. This looks more practical

Ubuntu on Galaxy Ace / Android Devices [Download link dead, uploader needed]

Well, I'm just sharing what I found
Original Post
Credits to him,*I'm just sharing
Install Ubuntu on your Galaxy Ace without wiping your android OS!
First , download this (Sorry , the link is dead), (it is the original ubuntu.img after all the steps have been completed so you dont have to install lxde or vncserver or set anything up. this is ready to go.)
While you are downloading the file , search 'android vnc' on market ,download the first thing u see (it's a free app).
After you finished download , extract the file and put BOTH of the file to your sdcard.
Now, open android terminal or adb , it doesn't matter (adb is easier to type)
Type this:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/chubuntu
when you are done , the '#' will becomes '[email protected]' and you are now on Ubuntu!
**DONT CLEAR RAM /EXIT TERMINAL DURING THIS PERIOD ! U NEED TO LET IT RUN IN BACKGROUND !
There are one line like this in the output :New 'X' desktop is localhost:*
Now open the android vnc u hav downloaded:
Nickname : (whatever u like)
password : password
Address : localhost
Port :590* (if ur localhost:1 , then port:5901)
Colour Format:24-bot colour (4bpp)
and click connect then u will see the Ubuntu UI!
Found the screen is too big ?
Press menu and hit 'disconnect' , go app drawer and click terminal emulater , u can use adb too if u havent close it
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry width×high
If u type 480x320 then the Ubuntu screen will fit ur ace screen
And now u will notice that the output : New 'X' desktop is localhost:*
The * has changed (eg:5901 to 5902)
Remember to change the port number in android vnc and connect again !
Clear ram (exit terminal) when u dont want use Ubuntu
It's just a installation , figure it out urself since I'm just installed it today and I'm a newbie too
You can view this site too: nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-android/
To edit timezone:
go termital / adb (when u are in ubuntu 'localhost')
type :
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
===========================================
Sorry that the link is dead, can anyone who have the file can upload for me ?
Or who have a premium mediafire account and can lend it to me as with free id, I can only upload 200mb file each time but this time is 4xx mb file.. =(
Thanks in advance

If you want GUI Ubuntu is not for your ace. Don't install it if you don't know what to do with it. GUI is pretty slow. I use the terminal mostly which is fast . I compile and run my C++ programs in the terminal.
USB storage works?

I did this a long time ago when I was still on stock rom, was kinda slow and pretty useless (might be faster now with roms like cm7?). But I dont really see why you would do this except showing off. (which i actually did to my buddy and then removed it xD)

Chubunto must be in the root of your SDcard, or else you have to type the command to locate it somewhere else.

Since it is a full linux environment unlike android I wanted to utilise to its fullest.
You can easily install gcc and c++.
As you do in ubuntu..for example apt-get install g++.
As you know g++ is the gnu version of c++.
Installed Ubuntu on my SGA and everything was working as expected. Had to mount some partitions from the phone so i could use it (i.e. /proc). WiFi working, ssh, and i manage to compile aircrack-ng for the lulz... Stoped playing with this after finding i couldnt inject packets with aircrack-ng.
VNC should work also since its easy to run any X session. Phone lags alot doing anything else.
If u r beginner user, I'thing better you using go launcher, then install ubuntu theme..
Nice..
i have try it lately..
Please push Thanks button if my post help you.

Me like it! Well...at least it didn't crash my pc (yet) Also, it doesn't have that many bells and whistles...until I connected 3 devices simultaneously (a Samsung GalaxY duos, a Pandigital Planet (recently hacked) and a no-name Chinese tablet (recently unlocked). See attached pics.What can I say it woiks!
Hmmmm...well, I do have a question though...when I connected my iView 792 TPC....my Device Manager identified it as a "Samsung", the USB thingie icon as an MT65xx android phone (dunno what that is...but the tablet is actually a phone also), while your ADB program identified it as an HTC-manufactured device?
So if I were to root this tablet/phone and look for firmware or something (im a noob)....which one do I "believe"?
I saw it just few minutes ago , we needed long time ago .. Have to try
Hey. Firstly, very nice work. It detected my Desire as "Android Phone" Okay, showed me that I have incorrect drivers, but when I clicked install the error came up with "not compatible with w8 ". Isnt there really a driver for HTC Desire on W8 ?

Oppo Find 5 Root with CASUAL

Introduction
Here's a one-click root method for the Oppo Find 5. You can find source here: https://code.google.com/p/android-casual/source/browse/#svn/trunk/GUI/src/SCRIPTS
The way this works is it will reboot your device into fastboot, boot a kernel, inject root and SuperSU(available on Android Market), set permissions, test itself and let you know if it passed or failed.
CASUAL also provides an unroot option to remove root permissions. This can also be done from within SuperSu.
Instructions
Open CASUAL with JAVA. Do you have Java?
Select which script you want (root or recovery_
Click the do-it button
All scripts in CASUAL are automated. Simply click the button and it will "do it". If you are a windows user, please ensure you are using proper drivers.

About CASUAL
CASUAL stands for Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Univeral Android Loader. CASUAL jar files are a wrapper for the CASUAL scripting language. CASUAL allows rapid and accurate deployment of hacks and exploits. CASUAL allows for automatic updating of its scripts via pushes to the SVN server at android-casual.googlecode.com. While I expect no problems at all, if at any time a serious problem is detected with the script, i can flip a kill switch to shut CASUAL downand you will be brought to a support page.... most likely here. This is intended to add a level of security so that you know this will be safe.
Thank you very much. I will check it in few days
Edit: And, for sure, if it works, you will have a beer
Thanks a lot Adam. Will try this today.
Thank you for the script. I will try it in soon days, when I will receive my Oppo Find 5 32GB. The device is still in Guangzhou Good that I am in China :angel:
Nice,now to get it....

thanks for your hard work
but i have a problem:

But there is no way the "Hack Pack" could recognize the x909.
USB-Debugging is on.
I also tried it in windows. I installed the adb driver for my x909 but the "Hack Pack" cannot recognize it either.
Do know where there could be a failure?

Wow,
Bought the phone last Friday @ ebay.com , [ getting it in about a week or so..]
and now there is root ! :silly:

There may be an update which you need. I applied a manual update last week which made ADB work properly with all previous versions of ADB. You also need drivers. I don't know which ones yet.
think I'm going to wait for the Int'l launch before getting it... probably no warranty for those chinese versions bought on ebay(and ebay/chinese resellers - >$600... oppousa.com website says $500)
might want to put th emodel number (x909), helps for searching
@those who have the device, how is it? most youtube videos/reviews have the beta version of the phone, or are just walking advertisements, wondering how good the final retail version is

Do you mean an update for the phone? Where did you get it?
Or an update for the computer? The installation of ubuntu is completly fresh. I just added the libusb and java to run the "Hack Pack".
Did ubuntu immediately recognize your Oppo Find 5 with only libusb installed additionally? Or what software do i need furthermore?
I would like to use the Gapps but if i install the play store from an apk, it just force closes all the time. (like every other gapp)
Greetings
International firmware released:
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-5-beta-firmware-x909en_13_130206.563/#post-10744
I suppose, CASUAL also works with it, right?
EDIT :actually, info better posted on a separate thread (as this thread is for rooting the phone)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37684053&postcount=32
Solution?

[TOOL] Rom WorkShop //Create Amazing Roms

Dear XDA members;
I developed a software that allows users to create their own ROMS.
This tool is firstly build for Xperia Devices, and now ported to all Android roms, so if there are some bugs please report here.
//About Rom WorkShop
Its too hard for some users create their own roms, because a beginner do not know where to start for rom development.
This tool (Rom WorkShop) gives you the possibility to create your rom with simple steps. I designed it like XTheme Tools UI (Wizard-Like UI)
so you can skip steps with only click.
Dear Rom WorkShop Users can you please use this stamp in your Rom's thread created with my Tool:

My windows 7 comp said I don't have the proper net to run this even though the computer is definitely up to date. I also ran as admin but that didn't help at all.

It's caused because your computer do not have Installed .Net Framework,
please install first .Net Framework 4.5+ to your computer and try again mate. It should work when you install it
Awesome, can't wait to create my first ROM. This will definitely help a lot. Its working fine on my Windows 7 64 bit.

Yes Sir, in theory it should be used for developing nearly all devices. But only tested on Xperia devices
So i wait comments from all the comunity if it works on diffrent devices.
If the result is positive i will continue updating and support the projecr at least 2 updates ( 1 bug fix and 1 new features)

Sadly after entering the first bit of info I get this error:
Code:
Could not find a part of the path
' C:\Users\Adizzzle\Desktop\Project\Bacon\Bestats\basever.txt '
Is there anyway I can get past this? If I ignore error and continue,
I get more and and more errors while going through the program..

Firstly thanks for your interest bro
This error is occurred when something goes wrong with BASE rom.
Please go to OP and download both tutorial files (Not Large)
For solution (of course what tutorials but) BASE folders must be in this structure
BASE
|
|______Bestats
| |
| |____basever.txt
| |____thumb.jpg
|
|
|_______SystemPartition
| |
| |_____app
| |_____bin
| |_____etc
| |_____flashtool
| |_____fonts
| |_____media
| |_____semc
| |_____tts
| |_____usr
| |_____vendor
| |_____xbin
| |_____build.prop
for remember: do not forget all folders is not same in all roms for examle on Samsung's roms there is not a folder called semc
but tool search for the fodler semc.
Yes sir everything is same i copy my system folder in system partition.... but still same error... thanks for reply
Sent from my GT-S7562 using xda app-developers app
i watched your tutorials and made everything like you but your tool tells me it can´t create a ROOT folder.
