[Q]Android SDK Emulator rooting/building system.img

Hey,
i have a problem with android sdk emulator. I want use it to test custom roms for i9001 but first i must root it and install custom recovery. The problem is i cant root it. I cant find guides how to root android 2.3.3 in emulator and those which i find doesnt work.
So i decided to extract the system.img. After one hour i found the tool unyaffs and extracted the system.img and added superuser and su. But my problem i doesnt find a tool which packs the system folder to system.img The only thing i founded was a ext4 tool with many files and where i must use some commands but cmd shows always some errors.
Is there any tool which can pack system folder to system.img which isnt so tricky ? Or any guide how to root android 2.3.3.
Many people in forums say that the roms in android sdk are prerooten or rather the terminal has root privileges but when i type in su terminal always show me the message: permission denied
Have you any idea what i can do
Has anybody a idea ?
nobody?
There's a post about modifying the system.img of the emulator here: http://malsandroid.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/modify-emulator-systemimg.html
EDIT: Although I don't think you'll be able to install a custom recovery on the emulator. It doesn't have a recovery device.
but why in many posts they say that the emulator can ?play? custom roms. i dont know how i should write it.
In vielen anderen Posts wird beschrieben das es möglich ist eine custom roms im emulator zu installieren
I've never heard of anyone running custom ROMs with the emulator, but I assume if you were able to do it you'd replace the .img files with ones from the custom ROM, possibly slightly modified.
I also want to care about this issue. I have 1 rom, I pulled the file system, for example: system.rfs or system.img.ext4 or factoryfs.rfs. I added, customize the apk and want to put it back and want to be first to run the emulator software to check for errors before running
Core issues, problems I faced
1. how to repackage the system files that (system.rfs, system.img.ext4, factoryfs.rfs, system.img)
2. Using software to run the emulator

Virtual box

Any developer here that know a tool that can execute those ROM zip files on a PC so I just can play around on the PC without hazzling with the cellphone so much ?
PM for answer or something.:good:
try androuid_sdk_r12 windows.
you can find it online.
TY !
The Zip file from XDA-developers.com
Ok let's see if I download a ROM from here. A ZIP file where do I launch it in ANDROID SDK ? I think I downloaded android sdk r20.
Anyone help ? Is it where it says SD card size ?

Lol, its not that easy the way u think ma8
after installing the sdk u need to create an AVD( Android virtual device) either using 'Ecllipse' or by Command lines.
check the link below to understand more about the same

Thank you I will check that one out It is only to see how the different ROMS look like instead of flashing them to cellphone.

Run personalized Android ROM in a PC

Hi, I want to execute (then install) an personalized Android ROM on my PC, I tried to change the distribution of Android x86 but the ISO file reconstructed (by Nero) is not read (An error tells me that no files were found for the start) and are not able to open (for modding) the file in SFS inside the original ISO. So I tried modding the files of Windroy Project and the result was more than excellent! (I have modded files of Windroy in C drive) but now I do not know how to make these files "installed" as indipendent OS, it is possible, and if so, how? Thanks for the answers
UP!!

My problem is not knowing how modding a ROM, but to bring a ROM on PC and open that file type, which requires a separate procedure.

[Q] Android system dump to emulator

Hi All,
I'm trying to launch a system dump in Android emulator. I have the dump itself ('boot_signed.img' and 'system' folder). If I am not mistaken, Android emulator requires system.img file and a couple of another .img files. As far as I understand, the dump should be packed somehow to get 'system.img' as an output. Could you please help me to clarify a solution of my problem? I use mac so I think the most part of linux tools is available for me.
Thanks in advance.
