The best Android emulator that I've tried is LeapDroid.

According to their website they claim to have the most powerful Android emulator available, which has also been optimized for gaming purposes.

I enjoy that this emulator is 100% free and has many features that you would normally have to pay for with other emulators.

Streaming is simple with this emulator as well. I've been streaming Pokemon Go and other games on Twitch and it has been a painless experience.

MEmu is the best.

Memu is better than LeapDroid.

* It supports Android 5 Lollipop.

* It has shared folders with windows, so I can transfer files like code, esp QR code, Bridges, ...

* It also runs VPNs. I'm currently in Iran and without VPN, the internet is slow, censored, blocked by sanctions, and poilced by the state.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buburcus:
Hi there all guys...i'm new in this forum but i usually see your info on this website and there are really usefull... but now i have a problem that i have to resolve... so i start saying that is not the first one i did this work on smartphone but this device brought me really some problems.. i have now an old htc one x device and i tryed to put him a new rom(mi ui) but doesn't go on..i mean i'm searching the tim unlock and something to do for uploading a rom pls help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr2nSmith:
Hi, folks,

After many, many attempts, I finally was able to root my Verizon LG Enact/VS890/FX3, using NewKingrootV4.50_C120_B220_xda_release_2015_07_22_105243.apk, which I got from this forum about a week ago... for which I heartily thank Zero Sparks. Finally able to uninstall a lot of the crapware I didn't want, and to install several root-only apps which I did want.

The thing I'm having trouble with now, is finding custom ROMs for the phone. It's running KitKat, so it's not ancient, and if I can't use anything but the stock ROM, so be it. But I'm dying to try flashing Lollipop or even Marshmallow. It has to be a very specific ROM for that phone, because of the slide-out QWERTY keyboard... the wrong firmware wouldn't function properly. And there are a lot of bogus sites out there which want you to "complete a survey" or "sign up for one of these offers", but they never give you the download, it's just an endless circle of phishing sites... with lots of malware for my system, I'm sure. I'd much rather trust you folks on here, if you have anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] UsualNoise:
I'm in the same boat, would love to upgrade off of 4.1.2 but can't find anything to use.

Additionally, a previous owner (bought off ebay) apparently unlocked the bootloader and replaced the stock recovery with something I don't recognize. When holding down power and vol down I see this:

Rooted

*********************************************

FACTORY HARD RESET

*********************************************

Permanently Erase User Data & Reset Settings?

Press Power key to confirm, and Volume Down or Up key to cancel

So not only can't I find a ROM to use, I can't even upgrade the stock ROM due to it not passing the root check. And I can't use stock recovery since it was replaced by the above. Anyone see this before?

I wish there was better support for the VS890 around, but I can't even find the original recovery / ROM image to flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr2nSmith:
In my research, I could have sworn I came across a site that had the original "stock" LG software for download, but I can't find it now. The closest I come is this LG link that will give you the firmware -- and the VS890 is on their list: http://www.mylgphones.com/latest-lg-phones-firmware-update-model-version-date

I don't know if that might restore your stock recovery, at least. But have you tried doing the "factory reset" they offer, in this recovery app? Typically, this often restores the phone to whatever it was shipped with... which in your case, is just what you want. And there might be a method out there to un-root, I've seen that option in some of the better apps, like the "LG One-Click Root" found here. Then (if you're on Verizon, anyway), you could snag the OTA upgrade to 4.4.2, like I have... and root it again with the method I found.

ADDED LATER: Look in SuperSU, you should find an option for Permanent UnRoot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] UsualNoise:
Thanks for responding. Unfortunately my issue isn't the rooting of the OS (which I can undo, and have), it's the fact that the bootloader was unlocked and original recovery was replaced with that custom one I listed above. And yes, I did the 'factory reset', which reset everything to the original state of 4.1.2 ... but it didn't remove the custom recovery. Because of that, I can't ever upgrade via normal means (get the 0x13 error when I try).

Same deal with SuperSU, unrooting simply removes root access in the 4.1.2 OS, doesn't affect recovery. And, since there is no CMW / TWRP custom recovery option for VS890 I can't even attempt replacing the existing recovery. I'm stuck at this point unless someone figures out 1) where the stock recovery and firmware are located, and 2) a method to safely flash it to the phone. It sucks, I like this phone but it has some severe limitations. It also won't work with my Pebble watch, which is what prompted this whole endeavor in the first place (trying to upgrade to KitKat).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr2nSmith:
Have you tried simply finding and uninstalling the custom recovery? I know you said it was unfamiliar to you, but it has to be in there somewhere, under some name. And once it's removed, the phone would revert to its stock recovery. This is a great little phone, even if you can only get it to KitKat, don't give up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] UsualNoise:
The bad news: I would have no idea how to 'find' the custom recovery unfortunately.

The good news: I solved my problem! Although I couldn't update the OS via normal means (network) or via PC connection, I was able to manually flash KitKat (4.4.2) myself successfully. Here's what I did:

1) I downloaded the drivers for the phone from LG's site and installed them.

2) Connected the phone, it went into 'install' mode first where a drive appeared in my computer that contained the Verizon Upgrade Assistant.

3) Ran the upgrade assistant, it found the phone and downloaded the new firmware (.cab file). The upgrade assistant would not apply the update, unfortunately. I don't know if it was because of my bootloader issue or not, but I was at a dead end. Temporarily.

4) Tried following the procedure here but it didn't work with the current LG tools available. However it did point me in the right direction for

5) I found the LGFlashTool. I followed the instructions on that site. First went into download mode (powered off, removed battery, inserted battery, held vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable - *make sure it's a good cable!!*), then in the flash tool dialog itself I entered the .cab file name, selected [ CDMA, Diag, 33000 ], left what was auto-filled in version (but deleted the .cab extension) and hit the CSE Flash button. Next dialog I tried reading phone info, but it crashed (didn't fill me with confidence). Restarted, got back to that dialog, hit START. Next dialog, selected my country and language, hit OK. Then it popped up a new LG update window that actually did the update / flash.

Shockingly, it successfully worked. I was preparing myself for a bricked phone, but it worked ... AND fixed my bluetooth connection issue with my Pebble watch.

I have no idea if this procedure would work for custom ROMs or not (and I'm not going to press my luck and try), so I can't recommend it for non-stock stuff, but at least it's a way to flash a known working ROM for the LG Enact. Hopefully this helps someone else down the road. This was the first firmware flashing endeavor I've undertaken where I didn't already know someone else did it successfully first. Thus, my trepidation. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr2nSmith:
Good for you! See, you don't give up, and you get a happy ending. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Androide3:
It's a shame no roms for ours enact, its a cute qwerty android phone...please Can someone tell me how to enter recovery mode ? I bought this phone 2 day's ago but i haven't signal i want to do a wipe cache.. .sorry for my English.. .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr2nSmith:
Wish I could help you, but I never could do that on mine... had to use a sideload tool to do it from my PC. BUT -- I have two suggestions for you. First, download and install the KingRoot tool, to root the phone... it's called NewKingrootV4.50_C120_B220_xda_release_2015_07_22_105243.apk, and I think there is a link earlier in this thread which you can use to find and download it. You'll have to install it manually, then run it. (Don't bother with the "Purify" portion, you don't need that for now.) Your phone will now be rooted, by the only method that ever worked for me. Next, go to the Play Store, and download an app called "Quick Reboot", from Phong IT. This is a root-only app (hence the need to root, first) which includes a "Recovery" option. Try that out, and see what happens.

I did as you said, but I'm still on 4.1.2:crying:

A preview of the phone replacement app that I have been working on for 2+ years.

FAQ (Questions posted on my site)

1. Does it support 240x240

Nope. Most 240x240 have a keyboard and most importantly, there isn't much space left for such an interface. That's why candy bars are rectangular, not square.

2. What are the requirements?

NautilusVX runs on WM2003SE and WM5. Given all the fading/alphatransparency (even on WM2003SE!!), memory consumption works to a hefty 18mb of RAM. There will be a lite version available without all the frills.

3. Will you be able to make a version that looks exactly like the iPhone?

Nope. Even the iPhone in itself is not perfect. NautilusVX strives to combine what the author thinks is the most practical from all phones while maintaining a good level of style.

4. Will NautilusVX be able to place and receive calls?

Yes. Absolutely, definitely.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
oh.

is it customisable?

is it free?

is it real?

what devices will it support?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
all skins, graphics, ringtones, smstones are customizable,

but layout is not.

is it free? there will be a free version

is it real? bet your last dollar

it runs on my asus p535 and o2 mini so far.

more videos and torrents of actual video files will be released shortly

- creating a new contact

- making a call

tell me what you wanna see... maybe that will convince you it's real. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samy.3660:
nicely done, hope to see it soon, if you wanna beta tester just pm me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ginex:
Let me only see how to edit a contact and how to put a call without stylus, and I will use my Touch for (almost) any test you like !!!

Hope to see a beta version soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
Hmm.. just to understand, is *editing* a contact important?

Or do you just need to create?

I was thinking of putting off editing for now, but if you can give me a good reason why you need to edit your contacts so often, I will reprioritize..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
Me too. I really want to test it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samy.3660:
Editing is important coz not every time people are free to fully fillup the contact so it is required.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
Ok, fair enough...

But how about this, when you are trying to fully fillup the contact, then you are probably free.

And I guess you should be free enough to take out the stylus..

This is the reason why editing a contact was originally put off for a later date.

Creating a contact is a different story though.. especially when you are getting a number from a girl hehe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hamoda-t:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bombzhome:
So when do you plan on releasing it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] timekeeper:
Does it allow you to place and recieve calls? I'm more concerned about that, then contacts as I don't usually use it. Cool interface!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] h0228631:
Cool app

when will it be released?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
NautilusVX allows you to easily communicate with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Whether you are in the rain holding the umbrella, by the road side flagging for a taxi or even when you are driving, NautilusVX will open up a brand new world in the way you call, SMS, find contacts and reach your family/friends.

oh.. Happy Birthday Singapore
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shamin:
Yeah Happy Birthday Singapore..Anyway Can We change the wallpaper of the NautilusVX?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bombzhome:
He's been working on this for 2+ years and he still fails to give us a release date.. he's just teasing us for the time being.. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
Hi. I'm not as evil as Apple, its only been 23 days? :)

This is a replacement app, unlike many other apps which only navigate. (eg TouchFlo *sic*)

It will terminate the native dialer forever, no more SMS using the native messaging and you will operate stylus free most of the time.

My point is, most of us hack our way through our apps and ASUS nor Microsoft is not particularly helpful with the docs, thus progress is slow when we have to tear apart what they have done, and rebuild from scratch.

For the record, NautilusVX is the 4th time I overhauled my code, prior to this, Nautilus V3.1 was in use for almost 2 years, and believe me, you will rather use the stylus than an app that crashes at the most critical moments.

Thus, NautilusVX has to pass a simple UAT of 7 days without crash before I go beta. I think I just caught one of the last crash bugs.

Apart from that, there are code security issues that needs to be firmed up before the release. It won't be 6 months, but I can't commit. Sorry.

Where can i get it?

Big thanks for great work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyfriendinacoma:
replace that clown fish background with the real iphone blue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
Agree with boyfriendinacoma

Maybe a better solution is to leave the background to the user itself. He/she can decide then what's the best background for their mobile.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] switchgott:
So where i can get this realy cool tool???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] melvynadam:
It's an impressive set of videos and if the application works well it will be a great achievement. But the above FAQ entry is highly disingenuous. Please don't try to pass this off as creativity. You haven't taken only "the most practical" elements from all phones, you've also taken the look and feel from the iPhone. Are you going to argue that the wallpaper with the fish is one of the "most practical parts of the iPhone interface"? How about the waiting cursor?

There are lots of good elements to the iPhone UI and that's why many are trying to imitate them. I'm sure you will have many buyers if you can produce a version that is stable and fast. But the UI is a rip off and it's absurd to pretend otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
You probably misinterpreted my FAQ. In my opinion, the call menu is the only part perfected by Apple, the rest is mostly fancy, impractical stuff. You will only be able to appreciate what they have done if you ever tried to DESIGN a full fledge phone application.

Apart from the call menu and wallpaper (which constitutes a fraction of NautilusVX), the original Nautilus V3.1 was already looking and feeling like shown in the video 2 years ago.

In fact, the name Nautilus came from a twist with NoStylus, a phrase also used by you-know-who. Just the same way, a twist with the skin images will show you a NautilusVX that looks completely different. Perhaps then, you will not call me a rip off. Why do you think I started this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=325069

The FAQ questions are genuine queries from people who have visited my page and left a note, they are probably the common man in the street who feels the pain of our phones day in and out. It does not take Apple or a genius to figure out that we need bigger buttons on the touch screen with minimal visual navigation.

In no place did I try to imply/refer to myself as creative (this word did not appear in my entire FAQ, perhaps you have been listening to your own thoughts?), the FAQ entry was to underline the point that NautilusVX is practical, not creative. There is NO need to copy everything from iPhone.

Just a side note, I think others are imitating the iPhone for the cool factor and its marketing hype. We all know what's wrong with the scrolling contacts, you simply can't search a full name. Do you think that is practical? Do you see that impracticality in my videos?

What waiting cursor are you referring to? I have not yet written/drawn any waiting cursor in NautilusVX.

Finally, I do not appreciate a finalized accusative tone. Please clarify before assuming/interpreting.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
In my 2nd post (reply #3), I mentioned that

So, yes, you can put any image you like, they are all in PNG format. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
Awesome stuff! This is the kind of thing that makes you say iPhone is a piece of cr*p. nothing is more versatile than a PPC. :) keep up the good work.. I envy people with your kind of talent!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] melvynadam:
You certainly implied that this is your work. I didn't quote the word "creative" so there's no reason to look for it in your original post.

Indeed, that's a problem with the iPhone..... but not with WM devices (which almost all the readers of this forum have). Clearly that issue is better with your app than with an iPhone but potential users of NautilusVX will be installing it on a device that already has smart dialing.

My mistake. The video has a "buffering" type wait cursor which I mistook for part of your app.

That's not great English and I'm not completely certain what you mean with the use of the word "finalized" in that sentence. If I leave it out and try to understand the sentence without that word it still doesn't really make sense in the context of my message. I wasn't accusing you of anything I was pointing out something that's obvious to even the most casual observer. Are you really arguing that you haven't "borrowed" the iPhone's look and feel? If this is your argument then perhaps you can explain why so many "genuine queries from people who have visited" your site have been about completing the iPhone look? Obviously, those visitors have noticed that you're most of the way there on your iClone application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilco_sg:
You accused me of ripping off the iPhone and trying to fool people into thinking that I'm creative.

1. I did not RIP OFF the iPhone (wholesalely). As mentioned, only the call menu and wallpaper are similiar. If NautilusVX is only about the calling interface and displaying a wallpaper, I will admit to plaguarizing. But have you seen the contact creation? Sending of SMS? And other videos that are about to come? The menu navigation clearly show no similiarity to the iPhone. Why does it deserve a RIP OFF status?

I stated clearly that the objective is to achieve a BALANCE between practicality and style. How does this statement try to fool people and imply that I'm creative?

You finalized your conclusion and accused me of it without much thought given to the whole picture. I do not appreciate such a stand.

Please don't stray off the point and start talking about Smart Dialing and English before we clear this up.
