[Q] APK / Phone Emulator? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there a type of phone/ROM emulator that can be used to test APK's? I am just getting into trying my hand at some coding and its frustrating to spend so much time de/recompiling and then pushing the files to the phone and rebooting when an emulator of some sort could tell you right away if the code is correct/working. Just wondering.
Thanks,

So I built an AVM with AVM manager. What is the best way to get started using the AVM? Should I download and use eclipse? I need a little hand holding here from anyone with the knowledge

My phone recently fell and my capacitive keys don't work. Its sad that I can enjoy the betas of REMICS ans SENSE 4.0 ON my epic. I would grfeatly appreciate if someone could teach me how to enable these or create them. If someone teaches me I can keep updating the file for each update and push it out for most ROMs on our epics. I have decompiled and compiled frameworks and done basic editing. I know it will take more than just a little editing but I am more then willing to learn to make this happen! Thanks to anyone who tries in advance.

Install AOKP, go to settings, rom control, enable navbar, select onscreen buttons you want
Decompile framwork-res.apk, edit /values/bools.xml and set the navigation bar value to true then recompile.

Can't you also just create local.prop and add line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0?

@dahturdima I have that on right now. I've had it like this. But I've been wanting to do it for other roms.
@ marcusant I though of that was in the process of doing it. But my decompilers wouldn't do it. I was getting chunk PNG missing files or something like that. I was trying to do it on REMICS.
If someone could upload their working set of tools I would greatly appreciate it.

EDIt:It worked on REMICS!!!!!!!! Now if someone is willing to help how can i change the size? I know I can do it through dimes.xml in the framework but the question is what guru can do it without decompiling it? lol
I've done it on cm9 and it works.

It worked great thanks Zeinzu. Youre a genius. Is it possible to resize it without decompiling?
Not sure, haven't tried. I'm assuming no though.

Im assuming the guys that created ROM control are gurus because it does it automagically once you put the size?-.-

[Q] I'm just wonder if I root my phone will I get the service for free. I have asked around to a lot of friends and they'll tell me different stories. some i will, some say I won't. Or they say I will but if I get caught they will take me off the service for good... So can somebody share some information with me on this subject or is you know if they even track it??? I'd really appreciate it thank you.

Okay I looked around a little bit, and found some article saying if I was running a stock t Mobile ROM they can track it but if I'm running a stock rooted rOM they probably wouldn't be able to track it. But I'm still not sure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
hey if you are not rooted then they can track you. But if you are rooted then you can use titanium backup to freeze tethering manager or tethering provisions ithink it is called in ics. Most custom roms have that disabled so you dont have to worry about it. But it also seems that since they came out with the new unlimited 4g that they figured out a way to do it even if you have that tethering manager frozen not sure how but they figured it out. Given some time someone here will figure out how to get around that too. they kick us in the balls we kick them back. Right now if the method above does not work because it seems to work for some people then they catch on or whatever also if you dont have unlimited 4g then it might work with no problem but if it doesnt the only way I have found around it is to use google chrome on your pc then go to the chrome store and get an app called user agent spoofer I think it is called and it allows you to change your user agent so you can use chrome but it will think you are using IE or firfox or iphone or android. So what you do is set it to android then you trick them into thinking that you are using your phones browser but you are really using it o nyour pc. Now unfortunatly this has some drawbacks like if you try to use netflix it will not let you or pandora it wants you to download the app but of corse you cant because it is a pc. so anything with flash really wont work. But if you are in a jam and need the web then it will work.

All this app does is shortcut you so that you can sideload flash player yourself. It is for the noobs that don't know how to sideload
What's this talk about side loading flash player?
I have it installed and all I had to do was download the apk, open root explorer, navigate to the downloads, click on the apk and install.
How hard is that?

You would be surprised. I talk to people daily that don't know how to install an OS on a computer. Nor do they know about other options like Linux distros.

I have a windows 7 machine. Will also like some info on building from source.
Most important things would be at least TWO apk managers (I have 4). I would reccomend ptmr3's deviant manager and wanam apk manager. Also get 7-zip and winrar. Sometimes, on aosp ROM's usually, 7-zip has a "term info bug". Use winrar when this happens. You'll also need notepad++ and apktool. Apktool is for Smali editing. Finally, get an apk/zip signing application.
Some people might use this while others, like me, don't. You might want to have the kitchen handy for some simple tasks. I personally hate the kitchen because it just makes simple stuff so complicated.
You'll definitely need the SDK and Samsung adb drivers. And I would recommend using Linux over windows and avoid osx. I hope I didn't lose you here lol.

If you are currently running Windows, I would suggest spending some time getting familiar with Ubuntu, and deciding on a dual boot install or running it through a virtual machine.
I dual boot Ubuntu Linux 64bit because it is much faster than compiling within a virtual machine.
There are a couple good how to get started guides around if you search something like how to build CM10, or a similar query.
If you are ready to commit, i would suggest building something easy such as CyanogenMod. To begin you'll find yourself working in a terminal window for the majority of the time, and learning to navigate and debug using terminal commands. All this can seem a bit daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
This guide here is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971645 but stop after the command ". build/envsetup.sh".
After that command you'll want to build for Hercules (our device)! In which case you would then say "lunch" and pick the corresponding number beside Hercules. After that you can say "mka otapackage", which will begin the build!
Everything should go smooth from there. Once it has finished you will find your ROM in /cm10/out/target/product/hercules.

Sometimes you need to install third party drivers to support your hardware, as Linux is open source it does not include the drivers which are closed source.
You'll find this with many things in Linux. Go ahead and try to play a DVD for an example of some of the hoops you'll have to jump through

WindowsAndroid

The folks over at Socketeq have released WindowsAndroid. It runs natively on your Windows machine, meaning that there is no need for emulation. WindowsAndroid runs on the Windows kernel, instead of the Linux kernel. Currently they are on Android v4.0.3. It's compatible with Vista, Win7, and Win8. Keyboard and Mouse are fully supported. This is the early release, so there might be some bugs.
Normally download is hosted on Socketeq's website, but right now the site is down due to heavy loads. Here is and alternate link if your interested:

It's interesting, runs pretty smooth, but no gapps and doesn't appear to have an emulated sdcard. Ill mess with it more later and see what I can figure out.
Thanks for reupping the file.

I cant update them from the intel site it scans my pc and that it it says pc scanned succusfully or something but that i cant get them from that place or something isnt there any frweeware that updates it.
I've tried it quickly.
It "works" but I can't do anything great by now.
I copied a personal APK in the app storage (on the C drive). My app appears, I'm able to launch it, but when I try to made modification in it, it finaly crash.
I hope there will be new release, and also the possibitlity to use the Play Store !
how do you get it run ? I ran the exe and a console open , then a windows popups and then the whole thing just crashes leaving me at the command prompt
Quick note, if you download an ICS Gapps and unzip it, the copy the apks from system/app/ to the system/app/ in the folder where you installed WindowsAndroid then restart WindowsAndroid you will have gapps (Market, etc). However the available apps are very limited (build.prop edit might fix that), and I personally get an error any time I try to download an app.
