[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
The android sdk was recently updated, incidentally it includes a x86 accelerated VM and image now with bits from intel.

The sdk one includes the ability to route your sensors from an actual device so the VM has live data from whatever sensors your actual device has.

The emulator also seems to have actual gpu acceleration, so it's potentially very fast[!!].

Still downloading though.

Updated SDK Tools and ADT revision 17

Is it posible to mount /system as r/w ?? With this Root.fs, su works, but I can't mount system partition as r/w !?!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tenet420:
@milniko

What do you mean by "superuser works now"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] milniko:
Root.fs is rooted with the last fix, and all programs required root privileges, starts with Superuser question to allow root for current app, but no /system r/w option:

"adb remount" is not permitted,

Root Browser can not mount /system as r/w partition

So still /system partition is unreachable for any change

I made a stub page for bluestacks on the wiki: BlueStacks App Player

While making a subforum for something is determined by the relative usercount, the wiki isnt limited to anything (as long as it's relevent to xda)

Some of the stuff in this thread would benefit from being migrated over to the wiki.

Bstacks would benefit from the equivilent of custom roms, the most obvious canidates would be:

Unmodified contents, but repacked in ext4 (no squashfs)

Rooted and repacked into ext4

Rooted, but no change in way it's packed

Bluestacks backgroung process

Hi there, as I remember, Bluestacks was running in background when I hitted close button on alfa (in non-fullscreen window). It was quick relaunch of Bluestacks from tray icon for example then, no full reboot. Now in beta it seems to be the opposite. When I hit close button, the app is truly closed and the tray icon does not trigger the app. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JirkaS:
EDIT:

Got it: To enable background process and disable app termination, reg key

\\\Registry\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\Config\FrontendNoClose

must be changed to "1"

To bring app to front again the shortcut to HD-Frontend.exe must be created with parameter:

Android nosplash "" ""

(exactly: ("C:\Program Files\BlueStacks\HD-Frontend.exe" Android nosplash "" ""), no first and last bracket but with quotes).

Otherwise - with default "Start BlueStacks.lnk" shortcut created during installation Bluestacks will be restarted.

in system.sfs. I think you can do it very easy, buy mounting ROOT.fs with OSFMount.exe (prior to that you have to execute EXT2Fsd.exe and run it as a windows service so you can read mounted linux partitions). After you mount ROOT.fs, extract SYSTEM.sfs and then continue as it's explained in that blog the url is somewhere in this thread.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
the way I removed the right-sidebar, at least out of site, is by re-sizing the width of bluestacks to a size that push aside out of view that side bar. in my case I have a flat panel with 1600 horizontal resolution, and by going to the registry and change the parameter key: HKLM>Software>Bluestacks>Guest>Android>FrameBuffer>Width = 1595 (as decimal) I got the desired result.

Try adjusting yours accordingly to your horizontal resolution.

Bluestacks rolled out another update now:

0.6.3.2212

Dont know what's in it, installing now.

On a side note, finally worked around getting the android sdk to work again on win7x64 + java7u3.

The atom/x86 images runs, but it's only fully accelerated with intel cpus :(

Intel's specifically checking for intel-vt and not bothering to make their accelerator compatable with amd-v.

Edit: only change I can see is that you cant 'disable' the adbar by uninstalling the associated apk now.

It activates when you press the virtual home button

Tried this, but the suggested apps are still under there, so if you click in that area (or have a launcher like Laucher Pro with a side dock bar), you can't click along there or the suggested apps will install. It makes is out of view, but unfortunately not unclickable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
I did noticed that, if you have a launcher dock bar on the right, there is not way to use those apps in the bar as clicking on them results in installing the apps that are in the sidebar from Bluestacks.

The way to correct that is to change the Bluestacks window size to a lower size, and do a test and trial until you can click the launcher pro bar icons without interfering with the Bluestacks sidebar. I did finally got it working at 1500x1000 and my monitor is 1600x1200. So depending on your monitor resolution try a combination that works for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ultim8:
Hey all I have been using bluestack for a while now to run offer for a game I play.

I stumbled across this thread and thought you guys maybe able to help with a couple of things.

Basically what i do is run the offers, then uninstall/reinstall BS.

Now They have started to log device ID's so I have regedit script that changes the GUID in the registry. Im guessing this is doing its job.

But I have made this whole process into an automated script, so it installs BS, installs game, downloads offers, runs offers, uninstalls and VBscript kills any errors and restarts the process.

Now one thing that slows it down is having to disable mock locations, I have tried doing it via registry but it doesnt seem to work, or I have the wrong registry setting.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
what sort of game offers are those that prompts you to uninstall/reinstall BS?

what I have done is make a backup copy of the following folders: c:\programdata\bluestacks and c:\users\username\appdata\local\bluestacks

I do this backup when I have installed the desired apps and when all is working fine. Then if for some reason BS become unresponsible/slugish or corrupt, I just delete these 2 folders and copy the one from backup. I also export the 2 registry entries for Bluestacks at HCLU>software and HKLM>software, that way everything is fresh and all apps are there not need to download them or configure them.

hope that helps you. I could do that in a script(.bat) but it's just copy and paste in a couple of places so I don't see really a need for a script.

I keep 2 backups just in case, 2 or 3 days apart.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ultim8:
Hey rocket,

Basically if you dont uninstall then it keeps it somewhere in the cache/memory and those offers dont appear again.

But if we uninstall BS and reinstall its as if you have never done them before. I have tried copying all bluestack data and restoring it once offers are done but for some reason that didnt work.....

Maybe I should give it another go.

hello! im new to xda-developers (and actually im not a developer :D)

i want to ask something...

can we install linux (maybe ubuntu?) on Data.fs, then chroot it from bluestacks?

i have tried to mount my linux mint 12 partition on android-x86 as data, and tried to chroot it, looks good, but im not very like vnc...

but when i tried bluestacks, i want to try it again, install ubuntu on Data.fs, then chroot it from bluestacks, then i want to see its X server from windows with Xming!

how do you think? can we do it? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
Have to ask why though? I'd imagine it'd be possible to chroot it with enough patience, but if you really wanted to run linux in a vm, just put linux in a standard vm. Bluestacks doesnt have anywhere near as much connectivity as a full fledged vm because it's not required (that and the rest it should have is missing as it's still in beta and whatnot).

Also, 0.6.3.2217 was just released.

Bluestack Voice Recognition

Anyone had any luck getting voice recognition to work in Bluestacks? I have installed all the text to speech apps that work on my phone, Vlingo even has the option to speak commands through a bluetooth headset, but i get nothing but errors for voice recognition on all of them. I'm guessing Bluestacks software was never configured to work with pc hardware.

20 bucks for AVX and voice dictation through Bluestacks is alot cheaper than 180 for a Windows voice program.

I want to kill myself while viewing this webpage. Did you by chance have a Geocities webpage at one time? :rolleyes:

ANYWAYS, what's the deal with the SD card on this? I've modified it to be 25GB successfully, and it works, but then craps out after a while.... I can get it to mount, but nothing will write to it and I have to do the whole process over again - not the whole process, just from the part where you change the file name of the SD card to .ext3, move it on top of the mke2fs file and then change it back to .fs so I can format it again to work.

First, is there a way by which the SD card stays available or is it something I'm going to have to do every single day? I'm using an app that records video from an IP camera, which is why I need the 25GB SD card, and it stops recording because it can't access the "card" anymore.... If nothing can be done with that, is there an easier way to do this or something more automated?

Hello, I want to ask one thing.

I install in Bluestacks some apps from my computer, then I want to uninstall bluestacks and install it again but with the apps included in the installing process.

I will explain the idea:

Install Bluestacks

Install 6 apps from pc

Copy *file* that contains all the apps to my desktop

Uninstall Bluestacks and apps and data

Install again bluestacks

Paste *file* that contains apps and open the bluestacks with my 6 apps.

The option "save apps" at uninstalling is not aproppiate for the thing I want to do.

How can I change the Device ID of the BlueStacks?

Please any guide?

Thank you so much!!
