Android Market on Emulator SDK 1.5

zceep24 · Jun 23, 2009

Is it possible to run Android Market on SDK 1.5?
It works on 1.1 with installing the 4 files: vending.apk, talk.apk, gtalkservice.apk, setupwizard.apk

anybody knows how to make it work in 1.5?

Thanks

you have to download the google developer phone images (system.img userdata.img) from the HTC site and overwrite them in the emulator image directory (don't remember exactly where it is)

I can boot the Ion ROM image, but it refuses to use the LAN (emulator pass-through) connection so Marked is not really a possibility after all.

I can use it without any modification

It's the same for me: with the files (recovery.img, system.img and ramdisk.img) from the HTC package, the emulator works well but the network connection is missing. What's your procedure?

casper.bang · Jul 8, 2009

I wonder if we can just pull out the proper .apk's and .odex files from the Ion ROM image and install/replace on the stock Cupcake image in the emulator. I did this with the Amazon application but have thus far not been successful with the marked.

I got it to work by doing following:

1) Downlaoded and installed the android SDK.
2) Run the command prompt and go to the tools dir in the SDK.
3) Greated an avd with 1.5 as target with the a default hardware profile. ('android list target' get a list of targets, 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' creates the avd as target 2)
4) Download and unzip this image file. update-cm-3.6.5-signed.system.img.zip extracted it and put the system.img in the enhanced.avd folder.
5) Opened the emulator through a project in eclipe. But can be done as command as well 'emulator -avd enhanced'.
6) When android is running i first went to market and it seemed to work fine except that the downloads never started. So i tryed to install the MarketEnabler.apk and everything worked fine.

The system image is a developer image, and loading android on the emulator first time took quite a while.

So finally i can get the apps from Android market on the non-google branded mobile

has anyone got the gps emulator working with update-cm-3.6.5-signed.system.img.zip ? Would really like to test out gps apps and keep market apps enabled. I can only get geo fix to work with GSM disabled.

Didn't have any problems making pull from my emulator, havent really messed around with it for a while cause i got the perfect SPL downgraded on my Magic so got Hero, google apps and everything i need on the mobile now.

Is this possible on 2.1 now or is it just for 1.5 still?

And if so where can i find the img file?

diablokev87 · May 4, 2010

I would love to know if this work with 2.1 as well.

I made a Android 2.2 system.img with market,
su and busybox for Android SDK AVD, that you can download here: http://www.ehalm.at/avd-2-2-market.php?l=en
There is also an installation guide.
Please read them through so does the Market correct.

This video will explain again how to make the market work:

Thanks Ehalm, your system.img helped me a great deal because I have a Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet without the Android Market. After a few days of tinkering I was able to get the Market and protected apps on a SDK AVD under Linux Lubuntu!!!

Here's a link to a thread I started in Slatedroid forum to help Cruz Tablet Owners.
