[HOW-TO] virtualbox SDK image for SGY

---

why don't we put together a vm, that has all we need to develop SGY ROMs and what not ?

#1 commonsware 1,6 GB, fast download (but in it's current shape no great time saver)
#2 or an older one, open sourced: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidva
saves a lot of time and keeps developers "on the same page"
#3 the xPerfect 0.1 appliance is very large 6.8 GB + updates. very big.


#1 just has eclipse & SDK, not yet really kickass dev system. user account is android , password: bugdroid


stuff yet to be added:
everything for UOT online kitchen
dixdas kitchen
various scripts for makefiles, V6, wireless ADBshell asf.
sources of: aroma, CWM, cyanogen, SGY ROM, some open apps like SGS tools and tuxility,

great working ICS vm

seems kinda good stuff..
pls can you explain whats this?

a vm image is a fully set up "hard disk" if you wish. just run a copy and start a developer system. saves you hours of installation of devkits and all that stuff.

Any updates on this vm? I'm very interested.

the vms I found really did not save you that much time. mostly sdk installed and nothing else.

a proper dev vm has much more software on it . dozens of tools.
