I have built an LOS 15 image for the Nexus 6, but do not want to flash it on my phone, as I cannot afford to use unstable ROMs on it. I would still like to test it out however, and the best way that I can think of to do this would be to try running the ROM in an emulator. How could I go about doing this? I've been searching for a solution to this online for an hour and a half, but every tutorial that I find is for older versions of AVD and is not applicable anymore.
Download Google's Android Studio to your PC. It should include an emulator you can use. If the emulator requires any special configuration to accept your ROM package I do not know, as the few times I worked on apps and the like I used my device to test.
Max with Omni did this maybe it could be helpful but I believe this was only on 8.0 not 8.1

I do have Android Studio installed, and I know how to use the emulators, but I do not know how to make the emulators run a custom ROM. I'm afraid that using a ROM is not as easy as what you've said. When configuring an emulator, you're not able to pick an image to use. Instead, the emulators use the stock emulator images.

Thanks, but I'm afraid it wasn't helpful at all. :crying:

I don't think you can use an emulator for this.
To be useful, the emulator would have to emulate the exact phone hardware. And such an emulator doesn't exist.

Oh well that's unfortunate. I suppose that there is not any known way to build a ROM specifically for an emulator? Ideally for an x86 or an x86_64 emulator since the ARM-based emulators are horribly slow?

Why not buy an old phone to play with? For instance a used Galaxy Nexus could probably be found for very little money. And it has custom nougat roms with source that you can start with.

I suppose that is a reasonable option, although I would still rather get a custom ROM to work with the emulators.

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.

This is the ripped apk from the droid x
I got a dev over in their forum to get it for me but it's unable to install on our aria's
hoping to get it working for us cause that would be awesome
any ideas?
ERROR: Application requires API version 8. Device API version is 7 (Android 2.1-update1) looks like you will have to test drive the new froyo for aria if you want to test this unless there is a way to update api on the android, and i doubt it.

Ya i was just about to post that i went ahead and tried on a 2.2 VM and it gave same error.
maybe someone with a droid X can run the manifest viewer from here https://www.isecpartners.com/mobile_application_tools.html
and see what all its checking for.

Is it? I just searched for Blockbuster, didn't find it.
It was published to the Android Market by Blockbuster on accident, apparently it has to be optimized for each device so they pulled it. I installed it but I haven't tried it at all.

I was thinking.. would it be possible to either dual boot, or install latest (or any other) version of Ubuntu on our Note? I've search the web, but haven't found anything useful.

yeah just found that. works great
Hearthstone is now available for Android tablets. It's supposedly optimized for Lollipop and KitKat as well. The question is, how do we get it to run.
So far I have followed this guide to download the .apk and .obb files.
http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone..._run_hearthstone_on_any_rooted_android_phone/
Once I install it, I can run the program but it gives me a "Only available on 6" and larger tablets". Sounds like we need to change the DPI or the device name on the build.prop.
Can someone help figure out the best way to do this? The guide calls for Xposed which is unfortunately not available for Lollipop. The main thing is that I don't want to change my DPI for the entire phone just to run the game.
Thanks!
I'm in the same boat, also have a nexus 6, eagerly wanting to play some hearthstone!
Tried changing the DPI of the whole phone and the game runs fine, just need someone to patch the apk or try and find another workaround for the screen check
Yeah I figure we can come up with some sort of workaround to make it less inconvenient!
They're having some success at this link, using a modified APK:

If you're using Genymotion, you can simply drag the Xposed zip file to the emulator window and it will flash it.

I only use Genymotion as emulator. Dunno about other emulators.
I've a 'problem' with Xposed and Genymotion: it works right, no problem at all, but Genymotion emulates x86 Android. I've to test some modules on some apps that are using libraries compiled for ARM that don't even start using Genymotion (even without Xposed) (error 'e_machine: 40'). So, there are others virtual machines that can install Xposed on Lollipop (or Marshmallow) that support complete ARM emulation?
Thanks!
Looking forward to do this on Nox App Player. It's using Android Lollipop now. Any ideas?

Found a way. I even made a video about it.
It's in PT-BR locale. I'm still willing to add English subtitles sometime later on. But I believe I'm late with this tutorial, some people did it already out there.
The sources of everything are provided on the pinned comment and written on the video description.
I'd recommend you to turn on the automated English subs, even that it returns broken translations. That's what can be done for now.
I'll try to update this when I get the English subtitles done.
