Hey I was wondering if it is possible to install debian, unbuntu, etc over top of android, and if so how to go about that. I saw on twitter a someone said it could be done, but i have my doubts and that is why i am asking
It's possible but its not a full blown OS and its kind of useless since desktop GUIs usually don't scale down well to smartphone size. The way that it is done now is you setup a chroot environment and boot up ubuntu in the chroot and then use vnc to connect to one of your local ports. AFAIK its slow.as hell.

I plan on creating my own rom and was wanting to know what tools I may need and how to go about it the correct way? It will be Android based.
Google it, exactly what I did. Make sure you have a decent computer that can handle all that memory.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my phone and am trying to play runescape. It has Java 6 on it but the runedcape browser says I don't have Java or is outdated. There is an option under Java to install icetea plugin. will this make it work? Or do I need another browser besides Firefox? Is there. Way to make this work?

Try installing the Ubuntu restricted extras from the Ubuntu Software Center.
How did you install ubuntu on your phone?

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,

Its has something of the sort made by google

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
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.
Been trying to get this dam file for a week now.

I knew there'd already be a thread about this......It's like "Android on Windows pfft , old news, Knew about it yesterday!!"
+1 On the Reup, This, I gotta see this for myself. :good:
EDIT: Looks like they've pulled the download completely for now...... guess they didn't anticipate the interest.
I installed this today and started playing with it, I was wondering how the audio mapping was to your audio driver on the computer. I will report when I find out more

Edit the system/build.prop file in the windowsandroid_root folder and add this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
This will change it to tablet interface.

OpenGL is integrated into you Video Card drivers. When was the last time you updated your drivers?
Also, not all cards support OpenGL.

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.

Doesn't work on a virtual box windows 7 vm. Complains about the graphics and my VM wouldn't boot into safe mode to install the direct3D support for some reason.

Sounds like a good idea.

Get it While We Can
And fix it, too, I'd be willing to bet...
This emu would completely outmode all the Android mini PCs on their way, that's why.
Oh, and recent ignorant government intervention re: rooting.
