Noob questions about Android Studio - Android Studio

I have some questions about Android Studio. I realize that it's intended for development, but I'm wondering if it's suitable for someone to use for experimenting with rooting and using apps like TWRP, flashfire, etc. I have a nexus 5x and I'd like to root it, but I would like to try first on something like Android Studio so I can easily return to a clean configuration and try something else.
Thanks.

Anyone?

Anyone?

With Android Studio, basically, you develop android apps or tools for developing android apps.

Thank you for answering my question.

Android Emulator

Is there a way to 'emulate' Android on a PC? The reason I ask, is that there are so many interesting looking ROM's on xda, that I would like to try out before I flash on my phone.
Is this at all possible, and if so, how?
Thanks
download the SDK. There's one in there.
although there IS an emulator included with the android SDK, it's not like you can just load up a "update.zip" equivalent off this site and expect to "flash" it in the emulator... its got a vanilla version of each major release of android that it can load, its for devving and debugging android programs, not as useful as you'd think, slow too.

[Q] How to Use SDK?

I am just a n00b and idk anything about programming except some C++ stuffs
So i installed android SDK on Windows(SP2) and was planning to make some Apps like personalised android launcher for my mini..but after installing the .exe I just sat around like dumb..i just dont know what to do...
So here are my qwestions
1) How to connect my phone to SDK (GT-S5570 Cyanogen music edition by Crazy K_P and android version 2.3.4)
2) how to develop some random small apps as just for getting started
3) i found out an youtube video on how to make Android Launchers but nothing was mentioned on how to run SDK and stuffs
Am posting the video link soon
Hoping to get help from all of you guys here

you first need to download the android, open sdk manager n select wich android you want to download, when it finished open avd manager n create new virtual devices, n there you go, start it and you got virtual devices running..
btw sdk is for testing your apps, not creating. CMIIW
Yes, after downloading SDK you have to open the SDK Manager and select the stuffs you need to download like which Platform (Android 2.2/2.3/4.0 etc. ), code samples, documentations etc. Select only the required stuffs like any Android platform or its gonna be a hell lot of time required to wait to finish downloading.
After that you have to connect the SDK with Eclipse using ADT plugin. There are many Youtube videos regarding this, so it won't be a problem.
PS: Before you start with all these stuffs, its always good to have look on several ebooks on Android development, as you're a fresher.
umm thanks to u guys now i am kinda connected..do you guys know how to make apps wid it ?

For that you need to start from beginning like creating New Project and coding the stuffs, deploying in an Emulator or you can test run the app in your own phone by installing the apk file. As I previously mentioned start by referring some tutorials, and get in touch with what you are doing.

Tizen app mods etc/ Help

Hi guys.
Im just looking for some advise if anyone knows.
Im very new to tizen and trying to figure out what can be done.
Im experienced with android roms and mods etc. Created quite a few myself.
Anyway theres a few questions i have.
1. Can tizen apps be 'decompiled' like android apps can? And if so does anybody have the tools to do so?
2. I read somewhere android apps can be modified to run on tizen?
3. I read up on sdb and pushed a few files to my gear to test and worked great. However can or is there a working recovery for tizen and can we have flashable zip etc like in android?
Would love to make some mods etc for tizen if its possible.
Thanks guys. If anyone has any info for me od be greatful

[Q] Xposed Lollipop question

Hi,
I don't want to start an argument over when/whether/how Xposed will ever run on lollipop, I just have a hypothetical question. If you're gonna hate, please go hate in one if the other threads on the subject.
What I want to know is: IF Xposed is fully ported across to lollipop will the existing modules still work, or will the require rewriting/modifying.
Obviously any modules that require functionality specific to KitKat or other android versions will break, but what about more genetic modules?
Thanks in advance,
Sotolotl
i'm assuming the only person who can answer this is @rovo89..
I think it depends. Some single purpose mods may still work. But the multimods like wanan and gravity box will need a new one because they already have Android specific for Jellybean and kit kat versions. Just my guess.
Xposed API will be the same:

Have you read xda news? If not http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-lollipop-is-here/
answer
On lollipop 5.0.2 , xMultiwindow& hallo floating and xprivacy no longer works.
But works youtube background player.
be happy with it !

Again: getting access to full text-to-speech settings on Fire OS 5.1.2

Hello!
i hope someone is able to answer this one?
i wonder if it is somehow possible to switch to a second installed TTS engine on Fire OS. I am blind and use the build in VoiceView screenreader which is quite good. But i want to use another text-to-speech engine from Acapela which i have installed from PlayStore.
Unfortunatelly the TTS settings only allow to switch between the preinstalled Amazon Ivona voices and not to switch to a different TTS engine. So i guess there must be a way to fix this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I think the only way of doing this is with a rooted device. There are some safe ways to root your device and install custom ROMS. I do realize this could be a great leap considering the impairment but maybe you have someone that could help you in doing it. Also, as an aside, Google is releasing an app to allow one to entirely control their device with voice. They are beta testing this now with limited testers and hopefully it will be released to all shortly.
If you root, I would suggest using a safe ROM and rooting method, reading the Fire Original Android Development forum should point you in the right direction. My personal preference is to use the SuperTool and install the AOSP Fire Nexus ROM. Good luck and I appreciate your dilemma, just sorry there is not an easier solution.

Many thanks! I think i'll go that road. With the AOSP ROM: is it also possible to use the same amazon apps which are normaly preinstalled on the Fire? Most of them are really accessible.
Thanks again!
Rene
The AOSP ROM will firmly place you in the Google environment but you could still download Amazon apps once you install the Amazon Appstore application. But you may find the Google apps will suit your needs as well if not better. Keep us posted on your progress.
