WindowsAndroid - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.

This emu would completely outmode all the Android mini PCs on their way, that's why.
Oh, and recent ignorant government intervention re: rooting.

Runescape on gs2 with Ubuntu.

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?

Flash Player APK (UPDATED)

Adobe has stopped allowing downloads for Flash Player on all devices running Jelly Bean, including the Nexus 7. This APK has been tested and works great on the Nexus 7 so far with 4.2.1.
APK File: install_flash_player_ics (1).apk - 4.49 MB
Awesome. Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
couple questions...
1. so will this allow flash to be used on chrome?
1a. if it doesnt work with chrome, what's the benefit of a standalone apk versus getting a browser that can use flash?
2. do you have to be rooted for this to work?
thanks!

1. No, chrome does not support flash.
2. You need the flash apk to be able to use flash in a browser that supports flash I.e. dolphin browser
3. No, you do not. Just make sure you go to setting, security, and click the unknown sources check box before you try to install the app.

Theres no default file browser installed so get something like Astro:
These are the instructions I followed, can't remember if I used the APK linked on that site or not, so to be safe use the one linked above.
PS : This five minute spam rule is annoying. (but can see why its here).
i installed the flash apk but when i try to view a flash movie it crashes the browser (opera mini, maxthon, and dolphin hd)
thanks works awesome on my nexus 7 and on my galaxy nexus
top notch
This worked great! Thank you

Thanks for the apk. You can download it straight to your tablet if it was not gziped and just install it with a file manager... On another note, I didn't really see the point of putting it back on my tablet after downloading it to my PC since I already had the sdk installed.
Code:
adb install -r com.adobe.flashplayer-3f0d57a34bf0204acb2f9b310aa37ac7.apk
did the trick and installed it just fine for me..
Worked like it should!

Thanks, OP!
Now if we could get a working AOSP Browser for the N7 because I'm not too fond of Dolphin and the other 3rd party browsers.
Cheers,

If you are using Dolphin as a Flash solution Do Not update to 8.6 which just came out. It completely removes the ability to use Flash for Jelly Bean even if you have it side loaded. It gives a message that they will no longer be supporting it for Android 4.1+

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

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
