Is it possible to run replicant in a virtual machine or emulate it
Added by ariel enter almost 10 years ago
Hi every one. I'll like to ask if it would be possible to run replicant on a virtual machine using for example AQEMU. Now that I think about it probably the answer is no xD because my computer runs a x86-64 microprocessor, but what about emulate it? Is there any free software for that? Thank you.

The Replicant SDK comes with an emulator (a slightly modified version of qemu) that emulates an ARM build of Replicant. Note that this is not a device build, so the interface is a bit different and looks closer to AOSP.

Thanks Paul. It's easy :), I just followed the instructions from here:
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/289928-testing-getting-an-emulator-up-and-running-a-full-rom-with-the-market-etc/
Just download ReplicantSDK from here:
http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantSDK
Extract it's content and cd to ./replicant-sdk_linux-x86/tools
Run the following line:
./android create avd -n enhanced -t 1
You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional.
Finally run:
./emulator -avd enhanced
And there you go :)
