[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenZen:
Hey folks. First, I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this since it's not actually about hacking Android so much as it's about creating a test environment on a PC. I'll elaborate:

I'd like to know if it's possible to use an emulator, such as Oracle's VM VirtualBox, to emulate the actual hardware profile of a specific device. For example, when I emulate a PC in VirtualBox I am able to define the virtual machine's hardware specifications to a limited degree. I would like to be able to emulate the exact hardware profile of Sprint's version of the S3 (SPH-L710), but anything in the ballpark of Samsung's Galaxy S3/4 devices would be useful.

The intention here would be to generate a virtual environment for testing and logging the installation and modification of bootloaders (especially *ahem* secured bootloaders such as those infested with KNOX). Currently, if a user has a KNOXed bootloader, they've only got one screw up before their KNOX bit goes from 0x0 to 0x1. I'd like to be able to generate a virtual environment that is able to simulate a device's hardware so that I can experiment with tripping KNOX, and I'll probably have to trip it a couple thousand times... Since my phone only gave me one shot, I'm about 1,999 attempts shy of that.

So, is this even remotely possible or am I just wishing on stars with this notion?

Thanks,

-Zen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
Unfortunately what you exactly require is very good to be true.

You can emulate your exact device specifications and your phone's System image with official emulator that comes with Android SDK. But it doesn't have functions like boot loader, recovery etc.

If you use Android x86 in Oracle VM Virtual box, then you cannot create exact specifications of your SIII/SIV.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenZen:
Well, that's a bummer. I suppose it's not terribly surprising that there isn't a practical method for perfect hardware emulation, but I figured it was worth asking. Thanks for the information, I didn't realize I could install a module for Android in VirtualBox so at least I've still got something I can work with!

Thanks very much,

-Zen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
Glad to help you. But I would suggest you Android SDK emulator as it can work with only system image of your phone. You can also set exact specifications. But only drawback is no boot loader. For Virtualbox you need bootable iso.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TwistTheNeil:
Can I install the T-mobile theme engine to install themes on my stock rom? I've read other threads saying that it only works on other roms? I might not be understanding this correctly though..

I don't like the look of the touchwiz rom on my stock phone and was looking at a theme on google play which said I needed the theme engine installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zaverns:
About a week ago I installed the VILLUMINATI Unofficial version of Cyanogenmod 11, which gave me Android 4.4.1. I've had no problems with it so far until I tried to enable the ART runtime. I enabled it and it started up alright, but after the boot process gapps kept crashing. I tried looking through the thread and didn't see anything (unless I missed it), and tried re-downloading and re-flashing the gapps, but to no avail. I switched back to Dalvik runtime and everything went back to normal. I was hoping someone had a fix for this so I could save a little extra battery and make my phone run a bit faster with ART. Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOz:
what gapps are you using?

The problem must be coming from the gapps you installed ...what gapps are you using? It might not have the google apps that are compatible with ART

Use the PA mini modular gapps...(sorry I can't give you the link since I don't have 10 posts -__- Lol)

I recommend this specific one because the full & google stock gapps has had a history of causing some issues..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezie42:
The only way I was able to get ART to run without force closes, was to reboot to recovery as soon as you select the ART runtime. Then wipe both cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot. I had zero force closes this way.

Also remember ART is fairly new so some apps may not work correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zaverns:
I am using the gapps that was included in the VILLUMINATI post. The below post fixed my problem though, I appreciate your reply and will follow this method if I encounter any further problems. Thanks!

This did work for me, thank you! At first after reboot my power button would not turn off the screen, but it started working shortly after. I hope that isn't anything I should look in to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezie42:
Your welcome. Sometimes ART seems to work better. A few apps I had trouble getting to install. But they worked after a few reboots.

Not sure about the power button, sorry. Could of been just a hic up.

I have modified this script to work with the SM-T310. If you want it to work on other Tab 3 models you will need to provide me your external sd card device node.

Follow instructions in the quoted text below using the script attached to this post.

Exfat and vfat are the same for system type no need to reformat your card.

This script is known to work on the 310 (8" WiFi only). At this point the 210 version (7") apparently does not work. The banefire burns strongly.

The script allows the external SD card to be used in place of the internal SD.

Yesterday when I woke up my G2 has 20% battery left, then I charge it to 80%. Then in the evening I charge it again 40%-80%. Then today I woke up again, (In the first SS)I'm just curious why is my "Usage in Battery" reaches 46 hours 29 minutes? It combines the usage on the other day and yesterday. "Expected time to use" is 61 hours, but I know it is not accurate because when I started playing games for like 10mins it goes down to 1hour left haha. And in the second SS, I'm assuming that it also combines the Screen time of the other day and yesterday.

a 20%-80%=60%

b 40%-80%=40%

c a + b = 100% I think it is 1 full cycle and should turn my battery Usage to 0 min again.

Is this normal? I don't really understand how G2's battery works.

I usually charge my G2 two times a day because of games. And charges it when it reaches below 40% to 80%. I don't really drain it and charge it to 100%. Am I doing it right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaki-:
