Guest Joyrex Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for this it's working great except I can't get the GPS emulator(geo fix command from telnet localhost 5554) working with it. Seems to only work if i disable GSM when creating the AVD file. Of course no GSM no internet access to play with google maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest unimaster Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Im sorry if this is a very, VERY dumb question, but what do you mean when you say "3. Run a command prompt, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to your path). 4. Type 'android list target'"? because it dosent seem like my command prompt is doing stuff, it will say ''"E:\My Documents\Android SDK Hero ed\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." im rly un sure of what I need to do here, unless this step is skippable EDIT: Fixed issue Edited October 9, 2009 by unimaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest perevers Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Tried this yesterday with a 2.1 Eclair rom. Followed the guide, but created a 2.1 avd. Made a NanDroid backup of my current 2.1 Rooted Rom and took the system.img file. But for some reason the emulator will not load it. Anyone know why it wont work?

Guest bhups Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 How would one create a system.img without Nandroid but use the contents of the ROM system folder? Its very inconvenient if I have to keep backing up and wiping my phone to get a clean image. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bhups Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Best way is probably to create a nandroid backup from your modified recovery image, then copy the system.img that it creates from your SD card? P I tried this, but it does not work. Any other methods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per I have tried to create a system.img extracted directly from a cooked ROM (*. zip) and some problems that prevent booting from the ROM emulator is wrong permissions of extracted files from *. zip package You must grant execute permissions for binaries in /system/bin and /system/xbin, use chmod in you linux box When the permissions are correct mkyaffs2image comes to package system.img 1st Extract the system folder from the rom_package_you_want.zip 2nd Set correct permissions 3rd Package the system folder with the mkyaffs2image # ./mkyaffs2image system system.img Then stay tuned to logcat to discover the next problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also having problems getting a custom rom into my emulator. I recently compiled my own rom from ASOP. After reading what marotoweb wrote, I started thinking, hmm since I compiled Froyo from source maybe there is an system.img somewhere. After some searching, I found my system.img that was created when I compiled Froyo. It was located here in my source: /ASOP_Froyo_src/out/target/product/generic/system.img When I check the info on the device I see my test-keys info under Build number. Hope this helps someone. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
