Does anyone know where i can download an image or VM emulator for our SGS i9000?
I know we can create our own VM emulation in Android, but we don't have the same customized OS that the SGS have installed.
I want to test new stuff out on the Virtual SGS i9000, before actually installing it on my phone.

Hi,
I'am French and new in your community, I have a Tattoo since 2 months
I would like try to build custom rom but i have several questions
When you build/test your rom, you always test directly on your device ?
Is it possible to use the Android SDK emulator to test our own Rom ?
There is a site or others that explain the Android boot process ? or this boot process is exactly the same as in a classic linux ?
Thx.
Android is based on Java, which runs in a Dalvik VM on top of a Linux base. Linux is actually the internals, the hardware detection, etc.
When you boot up the Tattoo, it loads the linux kernel holding all the things required to boot Android. It then looks for the system partition, and then starts the VM to load Android's java apps.
this may sound stupid but is there a virtual android phone that you can flash roms on?
You can't use the Android Emulator from the sdk?
The emulator in the SDK has a stock AOSP ROM on it - somewhere i've seen instructions on throwing a boot.img into it. Good should be a good source for you.
somebody tried to start kernel inside qemu-arm ? or I do I run my own kernel inside emulator ? emulator -kernel switch seems not working..
seems emulator run on virtual CPU only (goldfish)
I will also like to run Windows 95 but it does not work on the galaxy while walking correctly on the nexus one.
I found there is some kind of method make Android running on VM in PC: http://www.android-x86.org/
However it seems not a CM ROM, i wish i can test run the nightly CM ROM below I really flash it into my N1, can I do this?
Perhaps you can load it in the SDK emulator.
Didn't try it myself, though.
The Android-x86 project is for running Android natively on your computer, not emulated.
If you want to run CM in the SDK emulator you have to set up a build environment, download the source and compile it for the emulator using the 'lunch' command.
I am not a developer. I do testing only. Recently I had a problem with a nightly in CM7 sansung galaxy s. I needed to run adb shell.
What is the minimalistic way of installing and running adb shell?
When I installed Android SDK after JDK Java in Win 7, sdk manager and avd manager giving me lot of trouble. I don`t need the emulators, sdk platform for 1.6, 1.8, samples of sdk etc...
I mainly uses custom ROMs, sometimes in betas, rc, or rarely nightlies. So I need a cover for any potential problems..
Cheers.
