Download link: (4.0.4_r1.1)

http://www.vmlite.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=158&func=view&catid=9&id=8838

we have built a virtual machine from the latest Android ICS 4.0.1 source code, Ice Cream Sandwich. You can download it free from our site.

It's created for virtualbox and vmlite, but can be converted to vmware format.

Unique features:

(1) mouse integration with host, no more mouse trapping

(2) shared folders

(3) auto mount sdcard

This is the full readme:

/////////// readme file ////////

VMLite Android 4.0.1 ICS virtual machine instructions

Copyright 2011 VMLite Corporation

1. Setup the virtual machine

(1) Using Winrar or 7zip to extract the zip file to a folder.

(2) Start VMLite Workstation 4.2 beta or VirtualBox v4, then go to menu Machine > Add, select Android-v4.vbox file to add the vm, you should be able to then

start the virtual machine.

(3) if (2) is not working for you, you can create a new virtual machine using Machine > New VM... menu, choose Linux 2.6 as guest os, add the two vdi files using

IDE controller to the vm. Android-4.vdi as Master, and sdcard.vdi as slave.

2. Using the virtual machine

(1) Drag the lock using the mouse to enter the Android screen.

(2) sdcard is now automatically mounted, if for some reason that it does not work well, you can do it manually as follows:

open a command prompt, and enter these commands: (adb.exe is included in the zip file)

adb connect localhost

adb shell

mount -t vfat /dev/block/sdb /mnt/sdcard

after the above, you should be able to use the sd card, which has 8G size.

If you can't connect using adb, and you are using NAT as network adapter, you need to run the following command:

VBoxManage modifyvm Android-v4 --natpf1 adb,tcp,*,5555,*,5555

If you are using bridged network adpater, you need to use the ip address of your vm to connect, e.g.

adb connect 192.168.1.10

If you have problems connecting to the vm, execute the following commands:

adb kill-server

adb shell

(3) Use shared folders to copy files between vm and host. This build includes shared folders additions, you can use the following commands to mount

the share.

adb kill-server

adb shell

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/c_drive

mount.vboxsf c_drive /mnt/sdcard/c_drive

ls /mnt/sdcard/c_drive

assume you have added a shared folder to the vm named as c_drive. You can ignore the error message from mount.vboxsf.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huisinro:
will continue to add more full screen, dynamic display resolution, emulations, such as GPS, Camera, remoting, etc.

We are determined to make it the best android vm and virtual phone you can even find.

We will also make it to boot a physical pc using the same virtual disk file via our unique VBoot technology, so same file can run as virtual as well as physical.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] radhoo:
And what would be your website?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huisinro:
google "android v4 vm download", as I still can't post external links here.

refer to readme inside .7z for more instructions

100k download over last week after release.

having issues with the mouse.... host mouse seems to be 2-3cm higher then ics, cant even reach the menu button
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TaNgKii:
let me have a try!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huisinro:
yes, it's a bug we are fixing. the mouse moves inside 800x600 while display is 1024x768.

if you see this, try to reboot the vm.

if still like this, you can then disable mouse integration from menu.

Android 4.0.1 ICS questions

Hi,

I do hope someone can assist me. I downloaded the .7z file, extracted and mounted the .vbox in VirtualBox v4.1.8. All good, it booted up perfectly but problems that arose are as follows:

1: no matter WHAT configuration I choose for networking I simply cannot get the VM to browse any webpages or even to see that there is a network connection. I do see briefly in the bootup that eth0 is loading though, so not sure where to look now as I cannot use ALT-F1 to get to a root shell to do a netcfg to diagnose. When booting the network indicator on the status bar of VBox shows activity, also once it is up and running but no internet access whatsoever.

2: I have noticed I cannot change the time, it defaults to whatever it was when it booted up, that is if the time says 13:20 when it booted up, I cannot change the hour to anything else. if I click set, it just reverts back to 13: or whichever hour digit was there before. Also, clock does not seem to run in this VM. Both the desktop clock and the digital clock on the status bar of Android stay at whatever time it was when it booted up, say 14:20. that is where it will stay, it never updates/moves/keeps time. In the settings page, it seems to be keeping time however.

If there is anyone who can assist me with these issues I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adonet:
It works, but internet is only in the browser. And it still says that wifi isn't working.

By the way, I'm missing the market thats available in other android4.0 versions for X86:

http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list

But these versions don't have internet at all, unless your doing some tricks that are explained here:

http://nil.uniza.sk/linux-howto/android-40-virtualbox-networking-issues

But keep on the good working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scoutamis:
This is great! The only problem i am having is there is no Wifi avaiable. Also, if i may ask, how can i download apps to it? I have the apk files of the apps so i dont need a market either thanks!

Have you had any luck figuring out what was causing this? I'm having the same problem. I've tried different chipset, processor, and acceleration settings. None of which have worked.

Mouse Integration Fix!

Hello, elspanish88! Two ways to fix this problem. :D

1. Double click on VirtualBOX and start your vm, then when you are logged on to Android, click on machine, at the top left corner, then click Disable Mouse Integration. Then you can move freely, around the screen.

2. The easy easy easy way! Type (Right Ctrl+I) .. there you have it!

Cheers,

[Kindle Fire General] ctgchaos:
There's some software I'd like to get, but it's unavailable in the market. When I go to groupon.be e.g., there is a download link for the android market, but it pops up the amazon app store where it isn't available. :( I can't seem to find it in the marketplace either.

Same for the tweakers.net app, whatsapp, wordpress, colruyt collect & go,...

How do I go about these things?
[Kindle Fire General] Mama Luigi:
If you have an Android phone, you can just download the app, use an app called Appsaver to copy it to your phone's SD card, and then you can either email it to yourself or put it in your Dropbox.

If you don't have an Android phone, it could be a bit harder. You'll have to find the apk file somewhere online. Usually typing in the app name + apk into Google will find it on one of many websites that host Android apps, like apktop.

If you really can't find it at all after doing all of the above, then you could always just try politely requesting that someone here send it to you. I'm sure you'll find someone willing to help!
[Kindle Fire General] ctgchaos:
That's a good idea, since I do have an Android phone! Is there a way that I can make the normal market open when clicking market links instead of the Amazon app store?
[Kindle Fire General] afazel:
I tend to download it on my phone, then use ES File Explorer to go to /data/app and send it to my Dropbox. Then I just pull it with my Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] ctgchaos:
I succeeded in copying the .apk's from my phone to my Kindle, but when I click them in File Expert, the install won't succeed. :(
[Kindle Fire General] slim_thumb:
If you don't want to use a file explorer app to search around hidden Android system folders to find thess apps, there is a much easier way for the lay people (non-experts).

(I already presume you have a file explorer app eg. root explorer installed on your KF, explained in other threads particularly the rooting guide - root explorer (paid) and ES file explorer (free) are both good)

Go to Market and install appinstaller (many names many version, I use "appinstaller" by gregory House) to you Android phone. Use its "backup" function and it will show all the third party (non-system) apps you have installed. Pick the ones you want to move over to the KF (remember to include the appinstaller itself!), or check them all (full backup of all 3rd party apps). It will save them in a folder called "appsaver" - OK you still need to use a file explorer to find this folder, but at least it is in one single folder which is not in the root /system folder.

Hook up your Android phone to your PC and use Windows Explorer to find this "appsaver" folder and copy it somewhere in your PC. Unhook your phone and hook up your KF. Copy and paste the "appsaver" folder from your PC into the KF (which appears as a drive in Windows - don't put this inside any other folders in the KF). Unhook the KF.

In KF, run your file explorer app - most of them start default in the /sdcard folder which is where the "appsaver" folder is. Open the "appsaver" folder and you see all the .apk (app installation programs) you saved from your Android phone. Find and run "appinstaller.apk" to install this app. Now you can run this app and use the "install" function (it will detect the "appsaver" folder and all the apps inside) to install any apps you moved over from your phone.

Rookie mistake:

Click the little "Setting" (cogwheel) icon at the top right corner -> "More" -> "Device" -> "Allow installation of applications" - switch "ON"
[Kindle Fire General] ctgchaos:
I have not forgotten the "Allow installation of applications"-option, but thanks for the kind reminder. :) I will try the appinstaller method, thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] brian112358:
This seems to be an issue with the market link redirecting to the Amazon app store, right? Check out this thread.

tl;dr: Rename MarketIntentProxy.apk in /system/app to MarketIntentProxy.apk.bak

Of course, this assumes you have the Android Market installed on your Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] ctgchaos:
I have tried what you suggested, Slim_thumb, but it does seem to be due to something else, as I still can't install the apps Twunch, Twerkers.net, Groupon, Collect&Go. When trying it blandly tells me "not installed". :(

When I use third party app to show amount of free ram I have is usually 85mb below,but if I use setting>application>running service to show ram,my free ram is usually 140mb and below...which one show ram better?:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
third party apps shows free RAM including cached apps...

however, the running services shows free RAM without cached apps...

the running services free RAM is better (IMO) because cached apps can be deleted automatically when RAM is needed...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
What is the different in running background service and cached background process? That means third party how more accurate?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
It's hard to explain but this is the basics: Running background services are apps that have their state saved into memory so that instead of running their boot scripts they can be switched to near-instantaneously. Cached processes on the other are more calculations and such that the CPU has done recently or often so it knows it may need in the future. IE if you had an app in RAM it would run from where-ever you left it or would be able to continue running, but if you had an apps startup scripts in Cache then it could start up much faster because instead of, say, executing 50 lines of code to get a result it just goes and finds it in Cache.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I learnt from my father who is in High-Tech and has had much experience (running his own company) in computer hardware.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
Kinda get wat u mean,thanks ¦>
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
Which means running services use CPU and battery? Then cached background process is where the memory is stored in ram so later I will need it in future,so it start up faster is it? 0.o

exactly that :)

to show the widget, the service must be running... even a stock widget... the service is running, but you won't see it...

no worries if theres plenty of running services... android will take care of it

some apps can get started automatically... its called startup apps

you can download startup manager (available in the market), uncheck all apps you don't want them to start... i did that, and i got a boot time of 51 seconds ;)

Hello,

my 2-days old HTC Sensation XE has dust under the screen. It's not so much, but could I get a replacement or do they just clean the screen (which would doesn't fix the problem)?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romulocarlos:
Hi everybody!

I'm facing a big problem with GingerDX V19. For some reason, after a time of use (a day, a week...) I can't receive calls.

The phone rings and vibrate, but the screen is black. After some seconds, I receive a force close from com.android.phone. Then, the signal is lost (a small red 'x' appears on the status signal), and some seconds after I get signal again.

The persons who call me listen a one call sound, the the call drops. I can't see who is calling me, and the call log don't register anything!

It happens from nothing. The first time I install GingerDX, take 2 days. So, I upgraded again, but with LinuxDX kernel. Some days after, the problem appears again. About 5 days without problems, but yesterday the problem re-appear. So, I decided to unlock the bootloader, and try GDX with Alfs5 kernel.

I flashed yesterday, about 15pm. Today, about 13pm, the problem appears again!! I can't understand!!!

The only way to solve this is re-installing GDX with full wipe, but I have to re-install and re-configure ALL my programs. I read a lot of posts on GDX thread, but nothing solve my problem until now... "Force touch UI", disable "call me louder" or "looping ringtone", change the in-call screen... Nothing...

BTW, I CAN MAKE calls, send and receive SMS... But not RECEIVE calls!!

Any ideas?? I love that ROM, but I can't have life with this problem!!!

Thanks in advice!

More suggestions?

Found one reason: the "Call Me Louder" option on Cyanogen Configs.

If I turn it on, problem happens. If it is off, I can answer calls.

Tonight I'll verify if another setting will be problem.

If you want to full wipe, just make a backup of all your apps using titanium backup. Not sure if the feature exists in free version, but hey! You can give it a try :)

Hey all,

I'm looking for a charger that will charge both the phone and an extra battery at once, with the needed mA to quick charge both at the same time.

There are lots of charges on eBay and Amazon but the reviews are not great for any. Can someone recommend one?

Here's one:

It has great reviews too.

thanks for the link but when you look at just the charger and not the combo pack they reviews are not as glowing.

You should actually read the reviews though...

I don't know how fast the universal charger is as I've yet to use it but the normal charger itself is really good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. Can't figure what to search for to find it.

I have a multi-story house and one wifi access point simply doesn't cover it all. I've wired up one for upstairs and one for downstairs. One of the two has DHCP enabled. Both have identical SSIDs and security. I do not know to change BSSIDs (some kinda hidden SSID?) Have tried setting both to same channel and to different channels - currently on 7 and 11.

My charge will not automatically switch between them. Under EE4 I could turn off wireless and when I turned it back on it'd connect to the stronger signal. Under all the gingerbread builds it connects to one and even after turning wireless on and off it connects to the original one. Under GB I can only switch between them using Wiifi Analyzer's connect feature. Under GB I've taken to setting up the SSIDs to different values so I can at least manually switch between them in settings. This is a royal pain as I walk between the two floors all the time.

What am I doing wrong? Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Instead of multiple routers, try using wireless repeaters or extenders. A repeater picks up a wifi signal and rebroadcasts it for better reception. A network extender has an ethernet port that connects to your router and makes an access point without making a new network.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I prefer dd wrt routers using WDS. There are lots of resources about this. Or just buy a some access points. I find that repeaters have interference issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
Well, actually my second router is currently setup in firmware to be an access point.

Have either of you guys observed a Charge w/ GB actually handing off correctly? If so, at least I'd know that it's my setup.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
A repeater is the best solution? The upstairs location just barely picks up the wifi from downstairs. Seems like you'd lose a lot of thruput that way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
Tried the app "Wifi Manager"? It might help you. There a bunch others. I would try them all out to see if they help your situation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
WiFi Jumper fixed this problem for me. Well worth the money.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Seems like a nifty utility. Easier than setting up WDS, but I still think that WDS is the bees knees when it comes to having rock-solid wifi everywhere you want.
