I generate *.img by building AOSP . Like ramdisk.img,boot.img etc. I want to mount this file. I'm using Ubuntu. skoperst You cannot mount boot.img file, as it's not a valid filesystem The boot.img file contains ramdisk and kernel binary ( zImage ) and possibly dt.img (device tree). There is an excellent open source project: mkbootimg_tools at GitHub . You can use it to split the boot.img file and unpack the ramdisk. simg2img Some Android images are compressed by default for some builds. This is the case for example of the HiKey960 build with lunch hikey960-eng , but not for emulator builds e.g

I'm a Android application developer. For some reasons, I should change the Android kernel a bit. But I don't know anything about kernel. I will be appreciated if someone introduce me a website who explain android kernel modules and other info about it. In the standard Android open source distribution the kernel is distributed as a pre-built binary in the mydroid/prebuilt/android-arm/kernel folder and the source code is not included. The kernel source was removed from the default manifest for two reasons as I take it. One is that it takes a lot of bandwith and diskspace for a platform component

I am developing a native app which consists of some mathematical formulas. Formulas will be like......... I want to display such formulas in my application, but i don't how to use these special characters in Android. I want to display each formula individually in a list view...... If i am copying formula & if i am setting text to text view means it is showing like txtv.setText("\\cos^2\\theta + \\sin^2\\theta = 1\\! "); and getting output in the same pattern. So, can anyone help me how to use these mathematical special characters in Android.. Sorry, there are not a lot of different solutions..

I'm compiling an Android ROM from source, and I have several apps that compile, but into data/app on the phone. They're uninstallable through the phone settings. I want them to be impossible to uninstall from the phone, and to compile into system/app instead of data/app. Any advice? edit:typo Add: LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := system/app LOCAL_UNINSTALLABLE_MODULE := true LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform Here is an example of mk file that you can use. In my case the application is then build into system/app : LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional LOCAL_SRC_FILES :

I tried to include a prebuilt google apk (with no .so file) to my marshmallow AOSP build based on the information found in this link as follows: In my vendor/manufacturer/device/proprietary/system/app, I created a folder named 'Testapk'. I saved two files in this 'Testapk' folder, the apk ('Testapk.apk') and an Android.mk file which contains the following instructions: LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional LOCAL_MODULE := Testapk LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(LOCAL_MODULE).apk LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := APPS LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := $(COMMON_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SUFFIX)

When in debug mode I get a source not found message for the android stuff. I am using Andorid-10 to match my device. In the 'android-sdk\sources' I have android-14 and Android-15. How and where can I get the Andorid-10 source tree. I have looked at http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3.3.html but I can't find a source to download. The best answer for me is going to http://code.google.com/p/adt-addons/ and downloading the Eclipse plugin for Android Sources . To get the plugin, in Eclipse select the 'help' button and select 'install new software'. Then give it http://adt-addons.googlecode
