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.

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.
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.

This page will be for the topic of linux on the gt540 all distros that will support arm-v6 arm-v7 and armel as these will all work with the exemption of arm-v7 which will of course run with some lag.
So far we have ubuntu and debian running but want more variety is best.
Any helps with scripts speed improvements sharing set ups etc is highly appreciated this thread will be open and transperant in its knowledge.
As with the rest of xda i would like for this to be all about joining together to make something great
VERY SLIM DOWN EASY TUTORIAL TO GET YOU GOING
1. First up your on xda so please for the love of god tell me your device is already rooted and you have busybox??? if not very easy download z4root do a permanent root or temporary if your scared of warranty etc second download busybox installer from the android market and install. Mur4iks rom is most popular and supports loop devices not sure about other roms also have debugging turned on you need that for adb.
2. Make sure you have the android sdk windows drivers etc etc or if in ubuntu or linux make sure you have this file setup
/etc/udev/rules.d/99.android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004",ATTRS{idProduct}=="61b4",MODE="0666"
3. Make sure adb recognizes your phone run
In windows adb devices
linux (sudo) ./adb devices (ubuntu can be fussy)
Any problems at this point consult the almighty google or android development page that has all information for trouble shooting adb and your device
4. Ok so here is where the phone begins and all the code and missing steps and going back etc etc
At this point a strongly suggest a coffee a cup of tea some music or a smoke if you do
5. Now we must download a version of linux that is compatible with our phone as mentioned above armel arm-v6 are preferred
Theres three ways we can do this
1. We can go to androlinux.com if we wish to have a easy to set up ubuntu system
2. We can download linux installer from adroid market and choose an appropriate distro
3. For the more tech savvy download direct and set up the whole base system to custom sizes run custom scripts on boot etc etc if a few people did this it
would however be great as we could have a multitude of gt540 linux flavours
6. There are alot of VNC Viewers out there im not gonna say what ones best as everyones opinion is different on this put simply type vnc in the market have a read look at some screenies and choose one thats right for you as we will need it later. Has to support tightvnc though.
7. The file we downloaded we have to move this unziped to the root of the sd card.
8. If using linux installer from market simply start installing we will catch up with you later on the vnc set up gui etc
9. Ok the file is happily in the sd card root (Yay) Now you need to open a terminal or command thingy in windows cmd.exe everyone sets up the sdk differently so pretty much in ubuntu or linux you need your file path then /platform-tools in windows the same cd into that file
10. Now we are inside that directory test adb so Ubuntu--- "sudo ./adb devices" Windows ---"adb devices"
It should come up with devices attatched 6437946238946 type thing congrats your sweet to go
11. Start adb shell Ubuntu---"sudo ./adb shell" Windows---"adb shell"
12. #su
13. #ls
14. #cd sdcard
15. #ls
16. At this point you should be able to see the name of the distro say ubuntu sooooo
17. #cd ubuntu
18. #sh ubuntu.sh
19.Warnings code blah blah blah
20. #bootubuntu
21. PEOPLE USING LINUX INSTALLER COME BACK
22. You will have something like this #linuxboot
23. If you now get [email protected]:/# or Linux-ARMEL:/# or similar yay we are now running a distro parallel to android in chroot which is awesome!!!!!
At this point feel proud because regardless to gui etc you have linux.
Worst comes to worst recompile kernel again with loop support for the people doing customs and check your code.
24. This is quite possibly the worst part and most time consuming #apt-get update that will take for ever
25. Once that finishes #apt-get install openssh-server once thats done type #passwd and set your passwords etc
26. And then #apt-get install tightvncserver
This will require xxx space and needs to do blah blah blah when given the option Y/n choose Y for all of these
27. Ok in ubuntu if it goes phyco #export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 that will get rid of germain and bring english back debian etc dont worry only seems to be ubuntu
28. LG GT540 came out 600mhz so on any system we want lxde or similar so #apt-get install lxde
29. Now personally i dont run lxde on startup because i like to tinker and i dont mind writting the code in terminal after i boot the system takes all of what five seconds but if you want it to run on start up
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
30. Now for me after boot i do this
#export USER=root
#vncserver -geometry 1024x800
If your using above you only do this once for me i do it everytime
31. Run #ifconfig to get your ip addy etc
32. This is something i do just to make sure #swapon -s
33. Now the tightvnc server is ready to connect to your phone or computer. Just point to the IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
THAT SHOULD BE IT ALL SET AND READY TO GO OF COURSE YOU CAN ADJUST HOW YOU LIKE AND DO AS YOU WISH
MANY THANKS TO ANDROLINUX.COM LINUX INSTALLER FROM ANDROID MARKET AND GOOGLE FOR MANY WEB PAGES I VIEWED
IF I USED ANYTHING YOU PIONEERED ITS ONLY SO I CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS AND TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
HAPPY MODDING TO ALL AND I HOPE WE CAN ALL WORK ON THIS AND HELP OUT.
how would you do it?
Ubuntu jaunty supports ARM-V6 Architecture
And all the smaller Linux systems supported Pentium 2 processors slash hardware
Pentium 2 processors started at around 300mhz with smaller caches and buses then our device
Android is based on Linux our cyanogen mod system is based on 2.6.29
So in essence we should be able to port several Ubuntu / Linux flavors to our device and run them through a virtual machine off the SD card using loop device and swap or as a dual boot by flashing the Ubuntu / Linux system to what we know at the moment as the recovery partition
any help we can get to do this is needed anyone and everyone

why don't try debian?
I'm currently using rc1 eyecandy because I have a fetish for nice GUI s
I like what I've heard about debian but looking at screenies it just didn't look like my thing lol tbh it looked like a hollowed out version of Ubuntu
What's the benefits of debian if I did switch?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
already available to download for armel -> so i think it would be easier 4 you to port (i think there are no/not so big differences between armel & armv6).
btw debian is the father of ubuntu and their repositories/paths/commands are compatible.

I got ubuntu with LXDE running. Gnome does work but takes too much memory and long time to load. LXDE is Light fast and Quicker at loading. Here is my video. But it is chrooted (running alongside android and off the sdcard)
Here is the Link
LG GT540 Running Ubuntu
That's why I'm working on x11 etc to see if the GUI. Could be full size yet fast and lighter on hardware less mem 2d no hardware acceleration etc

hey guys this is debian lenny will post pics of ubuntu running same gui later
So far ubuntu seems slower than debian but im trying to get ubuntu to be abit quicker
also im going to start experimenting with triple boot as in adroid then debian lenny on recovery partition and ubuntu through chroot anyone that has any advice would be good also anyways to re compile these so they run quicker would be good to is there anyway to compress etc
oh also wifi etc etc is all working reads system etc etc so is good to use not some pointless project
my vnc server refuse to connect, can anyone help me??
now it's working but, it's all grey in 24bit color.

Vncserver geometry is 1024x840
Dont know why but that resolution was best for me also if that doesnt work try 1024x800 or 860x480 etc youll find one best for you

If this is possible we can have tri boot if we wanted or atleast dual

These are the scripts I have running on my phone to chroot to any image. Simply extract to / sdcard/bt5, copy the image you want to run and rename bt5.img
Then from the terminal run:
su
cd sdcard/bt5
sh bootbt

I encourage anyone who wants to upload your own images optimized for the display of the Optimus.
Need rooted phone and busybox installed, running in original firmware with quarsar v3 kernel, no problems.
we can run meego thru this? this is for developing purpose, or does it allow us users to boot OB into another operating system?
what can we do thru using this?dual boot?
of the moment only chroot, of course dual boot is possible
i'm sorry if this sounds noob, but wat does chroot do? I have only heard of multiboot. If i download that file of urs, what can i actually gain from it? thx in advance

Chroot 'jails' another linux distro inside your android using the same kernel.
For example I use chroot with my Multimedia HD (Blusens T50, a Emtec Q800's brother) in order to have a debian distro plenty of space (the chroot is a external space to mount into the system) also updatable. Then, I can install in my case an ftp server, a torrent client, etc...
Regards.
From where can we download the images?
In xda exists multiple posts with images for chroot if not in google appear links with how to make your rootfs system in ext2

any instruction to chroot the Megoo on ob ?
u should watch this http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD
of the moment exist on internet one image that load it in terminal mode (no gui) with bash shell, it is similar to ubuntu terminal. Maemo gui is possible install in ubuntu, it is hildon desktop. Since my experience the most usable desktop is lxde running vertical mode 760x1024 with real vnc using virtual keyboard of android and emulated mouse. Backtrack 5 is usable but the image has errors and gnome run slow. other alternative is matchbox desktop for small screens in embeded devices.
To run meego or maemo is necesary config gui and install vncserver.
For other part, meego uses moblin desktop, it is posible install in ubuntu too.
Here i share one rootfs with lxde and backtrack repositories, it is in spanish language; http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=260402
Hello everyone,
I am running Anroid Studios 3.1.2 on ubuntu which is running within a virtual machine (oracle virtual box). If I want to create a virtual device emulator, i get the following massage:
"Recommendation: Your CPU does not support required features VT-x or SVM)".
I can create a device but it is not running. In the virtual box setting VT-x is enabled.
Is it possible to run an emulator in a virtual machine? I found some sources saying that it is maybe not possible?
Thanks and regards,
TensorDev
