you could just type the link with some spaces inbetween
smth like www . url . com

Pretty nifty. Can't wait to download and try!

@yn0t runs very fast!

thanks, now it works properly

Got it working as well. Can't seem to get the internet to work on it though despite trying different settings under Network Options within vbox. Everytime I try to access the widgets, the launcher crashes unfortunately. Very cool to actually play around with it a bit though!

Does anyone treid it out ? how stable is this ?

i get a kernel panic when i run it

when i run it (after getting the network error and switching to NAT), i now get the lines at boot up:

[ 5.006614] init: Timed out waiting for /dev/.coldboot_done
[ 5.008619] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

after which is then just stops bootup.

Running virtualbox 4.1.6, had no extensions installed, so tried installing extensions and no change.

Any ideas?

I ran into the exact same error. Tried running virtualbox on a co-worker's laptop and the same image booted just fine there. I can't say for sure, but I suspect it may have had to do with virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) being unavailable on my (very old) machine.

I have done my own compile of the master branch:

VM Host:
Ubuntu 11.10

Build Env:
Ubuntu 10.04.3, fresh install in a VM
2GB Ram, 14GB Swap

It was a painful build, taking about 19 hours (swapping killed me), but it avoided the need to dedicate any real hardware to the task. oh well. its done now.

I'm also unable to get mouse or ethernet support. I have managed to navigate into the settings with the keyboard and disabled the lock screen entirely, which makes things easy. I've also attempted to attach a USB mouse and pass it through virtualbox's usb sharing. No luck.

Sound is also, as far as my image is concerned, non-functional at the moment.

....fun nonetheless.

How do I use it, mouse does not seem to be present in the VM....

Disclaimer: I have not actually downloaded the posted copy of the VM image, but if my compile is anything like this one...

Mouse support does appear broken at the moment. Use your keyboard. Tab, Escape, arrow keys.

Anyone find a workaround yet?

Hi, how you arranged the ics .img files into one single .vdi file?
I've already compiled the whole ics for vbox_x86 but I'm not able to run it!

Mouse support & network

I tried the Virtualbox image. It runs out of the box on a VT enabled Windows 7 host. But as other posters recognized, there is no mouse and network support.

Today I did a little investigation before I wrote this blog entry ([w w w . borncity. com /blog/2011/11/25/ice-cream-sandwich-testdrive-in-virtualbox/ - unfortunately in German - therefore I will post the translated main parts below). The beef: I found a japanese guy who stated that he just managed to build also a Virtualbox image. And after I looked his Youtube video, it seems that he was able to build an image with mouse support and network. Unfortunately he hasn't released a dowloadable VBox-image.

I haven't time yet to set up my own build environment. But for thouse willing to experiment, here are some build commands obtained from these japanese web site).

Here are the commands to set up development environment

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http: //archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf
build-essential \ zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev
lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \ x11proto-core-dev
libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32
tofrodos python-markdown \ libxml2-utils

Then it's necessary to download the ICS sources.

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$curl https:// dl-ssl. google. com /dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init –u https:// android. googlesource. com /platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1

The japanese guy wrote that he need to try it several times, because of high traffic on google's server. After downloading source, here are the build commands for a virtualbox image

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch vbox_x86-eng

# it takes approximately 6 hours - depend on machine …
$ make –j4

# enable network to configure DNS
$ echo "net.eth0.dns1=8.8.8.8" >> out/target/product/vbox_x86/root/default.prop

$ echo "net.dns1=8.8.8.8" >> out/target/product/vbox_x86/root/default.prop
$ make
# Create Installer-VDI
$ make android_disk_vdi

Afterward the .vdi-disk should be available. As I wrote above, I haven't tested it at all. But maybe it will be helpful for thouse involved in building x86 ICS for Virtualbox.

HTH

[Update: merde - it seem's that the anti spam policy of XDA developers prevents me to add the right build code - which containing links to the repositories - into my posting. Have a look into my blog post and also in the linked japanese page to obtain the whole build commands. sorry for that.]

I keep getting:


Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ProgressProxy
Interface: IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}

Anyone have any ideas why??

not working wit VirtualBox 4.1.6

@yn0t , can u make it in VMWare Player or ISO file..

Thanks..

Maybe an alternative VDI image

As I reported above, the vdi-image runs here in VBox 4.1.6 portable.

@suaji: need VT-X support on your host!

BTW: As I wroted here www.borncity.com/blog/2011/11/25/running-ice-cream-sandwich-in-virtualbox/ , I've found a japanese guy who has build a vdi image with mouse & network support. His site is only in japanese, but today I managed to read his addendum. He has published a download address of his vdi image file.

Here we go: http://kie.nu/26G

Just downloading, will give it a test drive this morning.

Have fun...
