emulation

This question already has an answer here: Full emulation vs. full virtualization 7 answers I see that they are different things but I really can't tell why. Some people say: "emulators are for games; virtual machines are for operating systems" I don't agree with this answers because there are emulators for platforms other than videogame consoles (AMIGA (?) ) Can you help me please? Virtual machines make use of CPU self-virtualization, to whatever extent it exists, to provide a virtualized interface to the real hardware. Emulators emulate hardware without relying on the CPU being able to run

I am trying to run an Android emulator on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with Eclipse 3.7. I have installed the SDK, the plugin for Eclipse, have set my PATH variables to include the android-sdk paths, installed the 32 bit libraries, and have created an AVD to run. When I go to Debug or Run however, my system hangs on: Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched I have seen other people hang and the solution is usually "check the Logcat" (I have no message here), "add a value for the SD Card in the AVD" (I have done this) or "Wait a while - it will happen eventually" (I let it run over night

I've tried editing android's skin layout in the emulator to be 1600x1200 and the emulator fails to bring up a window. It works fine for smaller resolutions like 1024x480 and such but not big resolutions. Although even with 1024x480, part of the emulator window is inaccessible and not visible. My question is whether anyone has made this work and if so what does their layout file or other changes look like? The emulator currently doesn't support this (it is a limit on the size of some memory areas it uses). You don't need to run with such a resolution, though, because there are no devices

I'm trying to create a script to find and remove my app from the Android emulator through the adb shell. This is what I've got: adb shell " cd data/app for app in com.mycompany.*.apk; do echo $app bundle=$(echo $app | sed 's/-[0-9]//g') echo 'bundle name is $bundle' if [ '$bundle' != '' ];then adb uninstall $bundle else echo 'No apps found' fi done exit " But it doesn't seem to work as expected. my for loop doesn't iterate through anything. If I manually run the commands exactly as above in the shell, it works, but when I run it from a shellscript then the for loop doesn't see the files or
