Hello users i got question.
I want emulate my current android system of my phone.
I want have full duplicate system of my current phone (i mean files\programms\ etc) at PC with possible to use it (things like 2-step auth of google, and others)
I think the way to do it is restore image of system that can do ClockWorkMod. But i dosnt know how use it on emulator on my Win7.
Is there some advice?
P.S. if dosnt understand something, ask.
P.P.S. sorry not my native language.
You can try THIS, or this HERE.
Here are the first steps you have to make
go to developers dot android dot /sdk/installing.html and here you will find the first steps you have to make.
The emulator included with the Android SDK is really slow and laggy IMHO. If you want to use the complete Android OS in emulator form, check out this video for installing Android-x86 inside VirtualBox. It will be much smoother and more versatile than the standard emulator:

If you just want it for running Android apps and not for the OS itself, and you need to run it on Windows, check out BlueStacks.

Hi developers,
is any chance, that can i install any alternative OS to my Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311? Device has a Nvidia Tegra K1 CPU, that is ARM. Chrome OS is not too bad, but i need some apps, which not exist or not work well.
I finding any OS. It may be Android or Ubuntu. But i need working offline apps (storage is not big problem i mean).
*Sorry for my bad english
just an idea

I have the same model. Great hardware, lousy os. Crouton with ubuntu trusty build runs well if you are a little computer savvy and dont mind typing in terminal commands. It runs parallel to chrome. I have heard you can install linux native on this model, but have never tried.
Hello, If you find a way how to install android apps on Acer CB5-311 chromebook, will be great. Thank you!
Yeah, it is possible.

I know you porobably solve your problem, or change your device, but i want to reply to it, if anyone else are searching for answers.
Because of drop of support for this device a have decided to move to linux.
On internet are some scrips, which can do it by one or two clicks, but they are old today and it's i bit more tricky today.
In general, you can use arch linux, which instalation still work, but graphical session doesn't start (i don't know why, i'm not expert on arch). You can use Clifford script, which don't work for today, because chrome os karnel has been changed and it is more difficult to use it.
So i install arch linux, with working kernel a delete it's rootfs. Into it i installed ubuntu-base 18.04, update, instal basic packages and kubuntu desktop.
Suprisingly it work very well, even graphic acceleration works.
If anyone wan't to know, how did i do it, i can help.
But i think no one is using it today, except few people like me.
Hy! need help cb5-311

I need help to change chrome OS with linux on my old acer cb5-311. [email protected] Thank you!
In case no one has known yet, the CB5-311 is running an Nvidia Tegra K1 processer if I'm not mistaken. Therefore, because it is an ARM-based device, using another OS other than ChromeOS is impossible as far as I can tell.
Good to know about the Tegra k1 processor...
Hey, sorry for waiting.
Here is some linux images for this device: https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder
It is prepared to flash on SD and boot from it. From this awesome develeper can be also found the linux kernel for this chromebook.
It is also posible to did something similar like chrubuntu did earlier, it means flash kernel to KERNEL C partition and boot from internal storage (but my 16 GB internal storage is i bit small)
Good luck, with this.
P. S . only problem is with graphic drivers. Drivers provided from NVIDIA is for ubuntu 14 and they are too old to use. So you you have to regret hardware acceleration (or find another way how to make it work).
Read also the the issues and releases on github.
Second way is to use archlinux. There is and script, which will do anything for you.
https://github.com/RaumZeit/LinuxOnAcerCB5-311 even if this script isn´t for my CB5-311-T23S, it works.
If you don´t know how to resize internal storage and flash working kernel, it is posible to use this script and install arch linux and later back up kernel modules, format partition with root and there install ubuntu base. ArchKernel work fine with it, but latest working version is ubuntu 18. (Snap don´t work on this old kernel). If you want ubuntu 20 (or newer), you will have to use kernel from hexdump0815 mentioned earlier)
Firstly, I use Grub2 to manage my 3 OS's so if there is anything that I need to add to the bootloader code to fix this then its no problem.
RemixOS keeps using Gallium 0.4 (I want it to burn in hell because of the troubles I have had with it) and its causing Remix to lag like no tomorrow on an I5.
How do I go about forcing RemixOS to use my Intel HD 4000?
If you have recent Remix version, then my solution might not work, but won't hurt to try:
Add to kernel line in grub menuentry:
Code:
EXTMOD=i915
Also make sure there is no "androidboot.swrast=1" in the entry.
Nope, I even added androidboot.swrast=0 and still "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.7, 256 bits)"
Bumping this since I still can't figure this out.
Hey everyone!
I know that one of the biggest barriers for completely ditching my MacBook Pro for my Pixelbook was the ability to use ADB and fastboot (upgrading Android versions, flashing TWRP, factory resetting). ADB and fastboot are installed on later versions of Chrome OS; unfortunately, these versions are too old for devices like the Pixel 2 (XL) and there isn't a ton of information on how to get them updated and working properly.
As such, I created an installation script that will push the latest versions of the platform tools to the local binary directory and install a small wrapper script so you can use the commands as you normally would. The scripts should be fairly easy to read if you have a basic understanding of the command line, I have commented them so it's clear what is going on.
The installation script can be used to install the tools for the first time as well as upgrading to newer version as they come out. The changelog for each version can be found here.
Please see the README for the full instructions and let me know if you have any questions, enjoy!
On Chrome OS Canary version 69 on an ARM CPU, ADB and Fastboot are both installed by default.

Do they actually work? They were installed on my Chromebook Plus out of the box but they are too outdated for my Pixel 2 XL.
Will this work in Acer c720p, or is it too old? If not what about Samsung Chromebook pro? Would it have to be in developer mode?

Do you know if there is anyway to run a shell directly from the downloads folder in ChromeOS? I couldn't get fastboot to function properly.

fastboot doesn't report version but adb is 1.32 which is old. I don't know how recent adb was added to Chrome OS but I am sure I have used them in the past. I have lived in Canary for the last 2 years so I have no idea whether it was a Canary thing or widely available within developer mode.
Another option since you are in developer mode is Crouton and install a fullish version of Linux. adb does work within a Crouton session. Even if I was to update the version installed in Chrome OS, I would need to reinstall it every day since Canary is updated daily and sometimes two or three times a day. Even stable can be updated mid-cycle so you could get caught with the outdated one at an inopportune time.

For me personally, I bought a Chromebook for Chrome OS, not the hardware, so Crouton wasn't really an option.
You don't need to reinstall these as they are in /usr/local/bin so they're not touched during a Chrome OS upgrade.
I don't think I understand "Crouton wasn't really an option". Crouton is a simple script that installs various versions of Linux desktops that run alongside Chrome in a chroot. Probably any Chromebook made can install Crouton. The only thing required is to be in developer mode, which you are. I choose to run my sessions in a tab but it can be a separate window. Not much you can't install and run in these sessions.

Would help if I actually did proper research into Crouton :silly:thanks for the clarification, I'll have to check it out soon
Crouton was developed by a Google employee. You can create a pretty complete development environment. An i7 and 16 GB RAM are becoming more and more appealing.

If you mainly just want command line to install packages.
There is also chromebrew, almost a chromeos version of homebrew on mac.
Hello!
First off I would like to thank you very much for making this installation script! I've been waiting the whole time since I bought my Chromebook about 3 weeks ago for somebody to post a script to install ADB/fastboot since the recent added support of the 2 to ChromeOS. ADB/fastboot support is the entire reason why I bought this Chromebook, if it did not have it, I would of been stuck buying a Windows laptop. I was really excited when I read they just added support recently for ADB/fastboot! I have a couple of small problems and if anybody can help me out, it will be greatly appreciated.
1. I cannot get ADB to work yet on my Pixel 2 XL, but fastboot works no problem. When I try to use ADB, it says device is "offline". Sometimes it says "unauthorized" when I've accepted permissions and click 'always allow from this computer' etc etc. Do I have to use a root shell to run adb/fastboot or can i use a regular shell like on my old windows laptop? Do i have to use sudo before every single command as well or just 'adb devices' like I would on a windows. I know these are noob questions but it is because I am a noob and have only used ADB/fastboot on a WIndows 7 laptop before this.
2. My other question is when I powerwashed and it booted to the user sign in screen, I tried to click enable debugging features but it said not all of the features could of been enabled. Wth does that mean? How can I fix it? Does the chromebook stay in developer mode after I powerwash it if it was in dev mode before I powerwashed it? I did return it back to the dev channel after the powerwash bc I noticed it was back on stable.
Do I have to install a custom version of Chromium OS before this will work?
Thank you guys so much, and thanks again @nathanchance for making this script. Also thanks for your Pixel 2 XL kernel, I use that as well. Cheers!
My device is the Acer Chromebook R11 .. 32 GB HD / 4 GB RAM with a 64 GB sdcard in it .. 2 in 1 tablet/laptop .. x86_64
ok so how do I copy the files I downloaded to another directory? The chrome files explorer only shows drive and downloads

Will you be building your own kernel and or system images for pixelbook?

No. The entire reason I got a Pixelbook is so that I could have a super stable local device and do all my heavy computing on a remote server.

Hi Nathan,
I also have a Chromebook plus which is not x86_64. Have you written a script compatible with the Chromebook plus?
Thank you for all your contributions to the community!

GameLoop is an Android Emulator which has two different variants
old GameLoop based on Android 4.4 (i am NOT talking about this variant)
new GameLoop based on Android 7.1.2 (i am talking about this variant)
In the setting of GameLoop there is an option about "abd debugging" and "root authority"I activated both of them.
If we don't activate them, the emulator doesn't shown in "adb devices"If we activate them, the umlator shown in "adb devices"
And we can use other adb commands.
But, it is not enough. In the emulator we cant use root authority.For example, we cant use titanium backup application.Because, root management apps don't work properly (magisk, supersu vs...)Becuse, supersu binaries is absent
I can not use root access in the emulator.
i have watched nearly all the videos on Youtube
i have read nearly all the articles on the web
Still i can not do this!
it's been a matter of pride for me
I am not a developer,
If a developer prepare an article how to do this , or record a video, i can do this
Please help me?

In fact, you can use rooted adb on gameloop 7.1 (AOW Engine) And you can install supersu, replacing the binary with adb -e push
The problem is that by doing that, all calls to "su" will trigger a driver_exception BSOD because there is a driver blocking it (AOW_DRV.SYS) Unfortunately there is no way around this as the entire AOW Engine runs on that driver. I guess Gameloop devs did this to prevent cheaters from using apps like Gameguardian that require root. Unfortunately so far there is no way or any method to do it, I'm just waiting for someone to do enough RE to the driver to bypass it.
Gameloop has another engine based on Virtualbox (Standard Engine) The latter can be easily rooted via adb. Even with a little work you can unpack android_system_disk.vdi and patch 2.img (boot image) to install magisk and then repack .vdi again.
The thing is that you will not be able to play games like PUBG or CODM on this engine.
The grace of this emulator is being able to use it to run games, I know there is no other that compares to it, but unfortunately the only alternative to be able to play and have root access is to use bluestacks 5 or you can also downgrade the version of gameloop to the one based on android 4.4, but this version is currently obsolete for current games and it's even worse than bluestacks in performance, it also doesn't support more than 60 fps
