Thread has been updated to include Google Drive or Mega links to download the tool.
Mod Edit: Quote removed since post removed.
The link to your Dev build keeps throwing a forbidden error. So might wanna fix that..
EDIT *IRRELEVANT*
it was not in the download from Mega or Google.. I'm not this much of a stickler to most, because i already have WSA rockin on W11, but I just figured i'd give your method a try because your title honesatly was appealing and I had nothing bette rto do.. because I watched your video and saw the dev image was in your WIN11ROOT folder, but wasn't the case on either download for me.

Gee, that got fixed quickly I guess I have no choice but to delete the links, For now! Muahahahaha!! Note to users, The Developer ISO is in WIN11R00T, It is just the DIRECT download link that is down, for those who don't wan't to download my toolset. While I'm at it, if you dl my toolset, the adb.exe shortcut will not work, you need to delete it, go into powershell, 7, then hit ctrl f to find pwsh, copy and paste that short cut to the original folder using cmd Will Not Work to activate power shell 7

I'm a little confused about what the intent here. Is this guide intended to help people set up their Windows 11 PC as a ADB platform for their phone? Or is this focused on gaining root access in the WIndows 11 Android subsystem so as to run Android apps with root?

It's about helping beginners interested in learning systems like android and windows understand better where to get started. From beginning to end. *Teaching!* Some folks interested in this are very young and do not have the ability to comprehend a lot of the technical jargon that you find on some of these more advanced concept threads.
I'm am teaching folks, as I learn, how I see things, pitfalls and all, so we have more people in the world learning these things and more people to talk to about Creating The Future.
Yes it helps them get setup with adb without having to dl the toolset off google sdk site, its the full latest sdk from google.
I also included powershell 7 so you don't have to DL that too.
In the past I probably would have not installed visual studio, as I didn't understand that their jargon of "features" is akin to "dependencies" like framework, hypervisor, etc.... Which is a huge mistake!

Okay Friends A bare Bones VM running Ghost Spectre's interpretation of what Win 11 should be is uploading now! I'm stuck at work for a few more hours, but when I get home I will make a video to guide you all through programming our new toy!
Now, as this is a class and a learning environment, you will be left with a problem We will get Kali Linux setup and working in our Windows 11 Virtual Machine, We will Install the Android Subsystem through ghost's toolbox, since it's easier.
We will get all our features and dependencies unlocked, and then you will be presented with the problem... Some solutions.... And well just an opportunity to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
The android subsystem is giving me trouble in the VM. Maybe it will you, too.
Can You solve the problem?

Forgive me if I misunderstood your intent with that statement, but...
That kind of elitist attitude will only ensure the ultimate demise of what you love. THE community.
You were a n00b once.
Too many noobs in my mind means too many people who don't know what they are doing, or more importantly WHY they are doing it.
While I am relatively new to the android scene, I am certainly not new to *nix, and so I think it is important to understand what you are doing when you customize what is essentially a linux computer with a Java-Based applications platform, and GUI.
It is important to READ before you just go foraging ahead, and this tool makes it much easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to do something wrong.
@windows user:
it is using microsoft net framework, so you must install one (download free from microsoft.com) to run application.

Has anyone had an error message:
"Droid Explorer has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to this problem..."
I have Windows 7 Home premium x64 with microsoft .NET 4.0 framework. I tried the x64 and x86 versions, get the same error message with both.
Edit: I installed the beta 0.8.7.2 and it seems to be working fine so far.
Edit Edit: I am having a hell of a time getting it to recognize my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 x64 box, Motorola Droid, I have busybox installed, my drivers are all up to date, .NET 4.0 framework, USB Debugging ticked. Is there anything else I have overlooked?
Hi,
I am new to Android. I have downloaded and installed every necessary component in order to start working with Android. The issue I am having is that in Command Prompt, anything I type in related to the Android SDK (for example: adb, or even just android) comes back with "Java was not found in your path". Now, I have changed all my PATH variables under "User" to the EXACT locations of where these folders are, but no dice. It keeps telling me to go and edit my PATH variables. Even running SDK Setup, gives me the same error, and tells me to add where Java was found (even though I have!).
I am starting to get really fed up with this, because Eclipse can't find the "jre" folder inside the Java JDK, either (that is, of course, until I copy the entire jre folder inside of the eclipse folder, or put eclipse inside of the JDK folder)...
I just know it shouldn't have to be this tedious to set everything up and I would really appreciate it if someone can help with this
I am running Java JDK 1.6.0_21 (x64), Eclipse Helios (3.6) IDE for Java EE Dev., Android SDK Revision 6, all on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Something to note: I have not encountered any problems with Eclipse Helios and the ADT plugin as stated on the Android Developers website. I can use Eclipse and the SDK to create and run the"Hello, Android!" application on the emulators without issues. I just want to be able to run everything from the command prompt, too. Now, if I can only get my phone to be recognized after I get this resolved.
I also need this for rooting and unlocking the phone.

In the SDK tools folder go to libs and edit find_java.bat.
Change all instances of %PROGRAMFILES% to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% .
I had to do this for my SDK.
Your java will probably still resides in c:\program files (x86)\java or the likes.
To test if it works open DDMS.bat(May need to open twice).
I ran "ddms.bat" before changing the "find_java.bat", and it just came up that it could not find the path > checking if it is installed elsewhere. I did what you suggested (I found three instances of where I needed to add the (x86)), ran "ddms.bat", and got the same error. However, this time it also opened the Dalvik Debug Monitor. Eclipse still won't run without its own copy of the "jre" folder from the JDK at the same folder level as the "eclipse.exe"...
any luck with this? I'm also having same trouble in Win7x64
Gonna give in otherwise n reboot my ubuntu system see if thats any easier
i know i can't use OpenJDK or something so ill have to swap that but fingers crossed

Solution
Install any JRE Java, Copy the java folder at program files/Java/jre6 Paste it inside MOTODEV´s folder program files/Motorola/MOTODEV Studio for Android 1.2/ and rename it to jre
Done
Edited the eclipse .ini works a treat now wi java x64...

Is it possible to install the android sdk platforms & extras offline manually, my only net atm is my desire tethered, unlimited data but I don't wanna push my luck
I'm not sure if it may be related or not but according to the android dev page, you should be using eclipse 3.5 because they have been having problems with 3.6
May or may not be related but worth a shot.

Make nu system path
Try making new system path named PATH (all caps). its an issue with Win7 64. Hope it helps. and yes Installing the Android sdk is a giant head****. I have it all put as fare as the link to abandroid put it doesn't make plug-in available in the plug-in list. I'm at a loss...
As i said, hope it works.
Having just had this issue myself on a new install of eclipse, the sdk and adt, here's what finally helped me: making sure the java\sdk1.6.x.x\bin directorywas in front of the windows\sys32 directory in the PATH statement of the environmental variables.
I did already add the JAVA_HOME and such, but the above was the step that finally allowed me to finish the setup.

Thank you you solve my prob man
Hey guys, Ive just purchased a new x64 windows7 computer and am having difficulty getting the SDK installed.. I had it on my xp 32bit just fine, but the installer for android sdk wont recognize that I have the Java SE JDK installed and is telling me to set an environment variable to point to it. I am not all that familiar with setting Environment variables, or the new OS, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. Just looking to get adb running for GB and above for ODIN, not looking to develop.
To install Odin3 and flash roms you don't use adb.exe for any task.
But the answer to your trouble is your path.
I wish that i knew more about ADB, and the SDK...
I did manage to establish a working development environment last spring, but the system I use is only a 32 bit environment.
The time since my setup has been so long ago now, that I have forgotten the particulars of the build. But I did learn a great deal from the guides posted here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/all-in-one-guide-to-adb/
Forgive my limited reply, as I desire to help you, but its quite clear that your knowledge of the android SDK exceeds that of mine.
And if you dont mind, I wish ask a question of you.
As you have used the 32 bit SDK successfully in the past, is it possible to copy and transfer all of the files needed to produce a working environment by simply loading said files from one PC to another ??
Or is the environment an individual set of parameters that must be created for use on each machine ??
I have never been successful in my search for an answer to that question.
Im sorry that its such an off topic request, but I truly wish to learn more in my old age....tbank you...g

Thanks for the quick response, yea i gathered that much with the path , just dont know which field to put it in under environment variables or the proper format.. my question is how to properly set environment variables for the sdk to install.. Or just even a workaround for getting ADB up on windows 7.. Had no issues whatsoever on XP.. I Extracted the java.exe to the path the sdk software is looking, and still no luck (i like having ADB to push apks, root or recoveries n such when not looking to ODIN etc) I've tried several different tutorials and can't seem to get past the install of the sdk verifying i have the java se installed. ..

My apologies if i sounded sassy in my response, i didn't mean to offend and am very thankful for all that u contribute here on xda and ur response. As for your question, i believe IMO due to the heavy reliance on drivers for the SDK to run for "X" device(s) development is being implemented on, it would more than likely need to be created specific to each machine during the install of each runtime ..but would imagine certain elements could be transferred or copied across. . But again just my guess, for i have not tried. I am new to win 7 and a NEWB to XDA. .. You sir are the mentor in this happenstance. Thanks again for the link and advice.

Make sure you installed 64bit java. I had the same problem and it turned out I kept installing the 32bit java. Their downloads can be very confusing.
Right click on "computer" on the start menu or in Windows explorer. Then go to properties.
On the left you will see an option that says "advanced system settings"click on that.
In the new window there will be 5 tabs up top, go to the "advanced" tab which is in the middle.
Once there, at the bottom is a button that says "environmental variables"
Click on that and there will be a new window broken into 2 sections: user variables, and system variables.
Go down to system variables till you see one named "path" select it and choose edit.
Now, you should have the java jre installed.
I have a 64 bit environment with 32 bit java,.That's fine.
The path that is installed to, and what you want to enter into your variable is:
;C\program files (x86)\java\jre7\bin
Close that out.
Now open a command prompt and simply type java, if you get a long list of details that tell you the commands you can use, congratulations java is now in your path.
If it says "java is an unknown command" you have messed up somewhere.
Ok, now that you have adb installed, go to the platform-tools folder.
Copy:
Aapt.exe
Adb.exe
Adbwinapi.dll
Adbwinusbapi.dll
And paste those into your main Windows folder.
Now, you can enter adb command from any directory, you do not have to cd to the platform-tools folder first.
Excellent ....
Many thanks !!.....g

Thank you very much sir for the indepth instructions. . Between your directions and gregsarg's link i was able to get adb up by using the 32bit ver download instead of the 64bit even though my machine is 64bit... Guess there is at least a little functional backwards compatibility left in win 7 afterall. ..:thumbup::thumbup:
Please re-edit your title so you have [solved]Original Question so others having the same issue can enjoy the given solution. Thank you.

This has really breathed new life into my HP Chromebook. The only downside to this OS is the way it handles ZIP files. You must drag them to the Download section and they get unpacked and show up in left column.
Android Apps that work for me:
Pandora
DoggCatcher
Garman My-Cast Weather
TWIT.TV
Android Apps that won't run:
iBird Pro
WinAmp
Gmail 5.0
Anyone know if gmail 5.0 will run well on Chromebook? I need a new laptop and would like to go to ChromeOS but I need a decent exchange email client. The company that hosts our web access will not enable full version of OWA for anything other than IE.
Thanks for sharing useful information with us.It helps for the new followers who dont know about this.
I dont see the FIOS app listed, can it be done? I use my tablet like a second tv at home and to watch stuff in HD as I do not have the hd box. Thx.
Technically, yes you can run any Android application on a Chromebook, but it will require quite a lengthy process that may not even be worth the time. Here's the guide. Just follow these steps: (I would post a link but I'm a new member...)
"Google is currently working with a handful of developers to bring a few Android apps to Chrome OS—but why wait for the pokey process to bear fruit? You can run any Android app on your Chromebook today. Chat on Skype, play Minecraft Pocket Edition, or read the latest news in Flipboard; it’s all possible, with a little help from Linux.
Here’s how it works: Google created a “runtime” that allows any Android app to run on Chrome OS. To test it out, it released four Android apps—Vine, Evernote, Duolingo, and Sight Words—that are now on the Chrome Web Store. Installing one of these apps will get you the runtime, and then you can “sideload” an Android app and run it on your Chromebook.
Google's goal is to get every Android app running on a Chromebook. In practice, the runtime is still in development and some apps crash—especially since Google's Android backend services aren't present on a Chromebook—but many apps already work just fine. Apps that use the microphone and camera even have access to your Chromebook’s microphone and camera. Android app notifications appear in Chrome’s notification center, too.
4.3 skype on chrome os
Skype's Android app running in Chrome OS, complete with notifications in the lower-right corner. Nobody tell Microsoft!
Getting started
First, install one of the four official Android apps—like Kids Sight Words—from the Chrome Web Store. Try the app and ensure it works on your Chromebook. Installing this sample app will also install the Android runtime for Chrome OS, and that’s what lets this hack work behind the scenes.
Install an Android app on Chrome OS
We’ll be using the chromeos-apk tool for this. It runs on UNIX-like systems (read: Linux and Mac OS X). We performed this process with Ubuntu 14.04, but there’s a way to convert APK files manually if you’re on Windows, or you can run Ubuntu from a live CD or Wubi. You can even do this on a Chromebook itself if you’re a geek who’s installed Linux in developer mode.
On Ubuntu, open a Terminal window. Run the following two commands to install and set up node.js:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
Next, install the chromeos-apk tool:
sudo npm install chromeos-apk -g
You’ll need the Android app’s APK file. Google doesn’t just allow you to download these from the Google Play Store. You can sometimes find APK files on various websites online, but that's risky—it’s like downloading a program’s .exe file from an unofficial file-hosting site instead of the official source.
1 download android app apk file for chrome
Downloading an Android app's APK using AirDroid's web interface. (Click on any image in this article to enlarge it.)
If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, AirDroid works well for this. Install the Android app you want to run on your Chromebook on your Android device, and install AirDroid as well. Open the AirDroid app and visit the AirDroid website on your computer. Sign in to the AirDroid interface. You don’t need to create an account, just scan the QR code on the screen with your device’s camera. Click the Apps icon, locate the app you want to run, and click the Download button to its right. You’ll get the app’s APK file on your computer.
Next, you’ll use the following command on your computer to package the Android app up for Chrome OS. (Be sure to replace “/path/to/app.apk” with the file path to the downloaded APK file on your drive.)
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk
If you’d like to use the app’s tablet interface instead of it smartphone interface, add --tablet to the end of the command, like so:
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk --tablet
2.5 convert android app for chrome
Converting an Android app for use on a Chromebook using the Chromeos-apk tool in Ubuntu Linux.
I saw an error message with Skype and had to enter the “com.skype.raider” name when prompted, but the tool still successfully converted Skype and it ran on my Chromebook. The tool is supposed to get the appropriate name from the APK file so you don’t have to enter it by hand, but it doesn’t always work.
The command generates a directory, which will appear in your home directory on Linux. Copy the entire directory to your Chromebook via a USB flash drive, SD Card, or shuffling it around using a cloud syncing service. Go to the Extensions page on your Chromebook (Chrome > "Hamburger" menu > Tools > Extensions), click Enable developer mode, and use the Load unpacked extension button to load the extension directory for the Android app.
3 install unpacked extension
The Extensions menu's developer mode in Chrome OS.
Once that's done, simply open select the Launch option for the app in the Extensions menu.
Run more than one app
This tool has some limitations. Google’s Android runtime for Chrome is currently restricted to four specific apps, and the tool above replaces Vine with an app of your choice. You can only use the command above to install a single Android app on your device at a time. If you want to install up to three more, follow these instructions.
Vladikoff—chromeos-apk’s developer—has also now released a modified Android runtime for Chrome. It’s known as the ARChon Custom Runtime, and it allows you to run any number of apps at a time. It even allows you to run Android apps in Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. This modified runtime is less official and may be more unstable. Of course, Windows users already have a good way to run Android apps with BlueStacks or by installing Android in a virtual machine.

Where is this headed?
In the future, Google will likely improve their Android app runtime and allow all Android developers to easily package their apps and put them on the Chrome Web Store. Google could go even further, adding Chromebooks as another supported device in Google Play so you could easily install any Android app on a Chromebook like you'd install it on a smartphone or tablet.
We’ll probably need unofficial tools like chromeos-apk for a while. It’s unlikely we’ll see every Android app appear in the Chrome Web Store any time soon. Chrome OS users may have to use tools like chromeos-apk to package up apps like Skype; Microsoft probably doesn’t want Skype running on Chromebooks, as they like using it as a cudgel against Chrome OS in their “Scroogled” campaign and other ads.
Check out /r/chromeapks on Reddit for more discussion of this tool, including whether specific apps work! We’ll hopefully see the tool continue to improve, bringing more software to Chrome OS—though you have to wonder what this means for the future of Chrome and its offline “Chrome apps.”
It's a pretty straight forward guide.
chromebooks are a google product...

where chromebooks are a google product, yes, you shouldn't have any problem running your gmail.. i can sink my email from my samsung gal 4 and no issues... comes equipped with gmail, you will have to set up an account, or use an old one... to set your chromebook up... it's like an android netbook... but i love this... ( had a netbook, loved it too, but... this is way better!!!)
good luck with yours!!

hi
i have a hp 14 chromebook(celeron)
android skype and ymail are working for me
hi
how successful are people at running android apps on there chromebooks?
i have been trying off and on since christmas to run android apps on a intel acer chromebook with no success,
while i havent used this method described here, as i havent got linux, i have tried the other two methods that are supposed to work.
i have mainly been trying to convert mincraft as this is supposed to work fine, i just thought get this working and move on
first i installed evernote, to get the run time on chrome book, its definetly on there
then i have put ARChon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bpear.archonpackager
on my phone, and used it to create the files/folders from apk files which then i put on the chromebook, and install via chrome/load unpacked extension
but it just shows the icon for a minute then the chrome crash screen
i have then tried installing Twerk,
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twerk/jhdnjmjhmfihbfjdgmnappnoaehnhiaf?hl=en
directly on the chromebook, converting the apks with twerk and then again install the resulting files/folders via load unpacked extension
but same result,
next attempt, i put the Archon runtime on the chromebook
https://archon-runtime.github.io/
i have repeated the previous steps, archon on my phone and twerk on the chromebook but still get same results
i have also tried a few other random apks, and i have tested the apks im using on a tablet so they all work
For older Chromebooks/Chromeboxes that Google will not load the Android store on, there is one possibility. There is a Linux distribution called "Android x86". I have installed this Linux distribution on my PC laptop, dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. It looks and runs android marshmallow just like my android tablet and phone. You don't need touchscreen. The mouse point, click and drag works fine to perform all touch functions. I can download and run Google Play Store apps to my PC with Android x86.
So, since you can install Linux through Crouton on a Chromebook/Chromebox, you should be able to install Linux Android x86 through Crouton.
Can anybody explain me how to install android os on virtual machine on my computer. So that i can easily use the android apps on my pc without using the emulator and i think this would work better. Please Help...
You may take advantage of BlueStacks.
My recommendation: BLISS OS ( dual boot solution )
Emulators - where it doesn't matter which one - are always only a stopgap solution. Because emulators share system resources with PC, a high-end PC is neded to more or less flawlessly run an emulator instance.
Hi Kajal,
I totally agree with all the other answers like you can easily install Bluestacks on your computer and can use android apps easily. But only things only thing in bluestack is that you have good amount of RAM so that the apps can run smoothly. But still if you want to install android Operating system on virtual machine then you can follow these steps:-
Download the android ISO file from android-x86 and then download Virtualbox and install it properly.
1. Now Open Virtualbox
2. Create Virtualbox a new virtual machine
3. Configure virtual machine RAM and Harddrive.
4. Now import the ISO file in the virtual machine and setup it properly.
5. Now Adjust your Video Memory allocated for the android virtual machine.
6. Now once your android machine is created, Click on Start.
7. It will start loading the android files and then select the harddrive where it will be installed.
8. Now wait for few minutes and it will be ready to RUN.
I know the process is little longer, that i have also attached the guide showing how to install Android OS properly.

If it doesn't work. Please comment below, i would definitely love to guide you further.
Thanks,
Hope it helps
