This has already been answered on the Android forums. A stock QEMU cannot run the emulated Android system<br>(even without the fancy skin support) because it lacks specific hardware emulation for the virtual platform we call<br>
&quot;goldfish&quot;.<br><br>Patches are in preparation, as long as other hopefully good stuff. It&#39;s just that I didn&#39;t find the time to prepare them<br>cleanly for submission (some Android specific stuff must be stripped out and/or replaced).<br>
<br>There is also the issue of testing that the result works correctly, which is made more complex due to the way<br>input events must be translated then passed to the Android emulated system (the fancy skinning is there for a<br>
reason).<br><br>Curious people can still look at the following page, and look at the goldfish_xxxx sources:<br><br><a href="http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/qemu.git;a=tree;f=hw;h=30ddf8a2f5d4662bf03bab6f607e7421de2cd93b;hb=7a5cb2bf2725afddd4ff9ede151063d23b849d94">http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/qemu.git;a=tree;f=hw;h=30ddf8a2f5d4662bf03bab6f607e7421de2cd93b;hb=7a5cb2bf2725afddd4ff9ede151063d23b849d94</a><br>

&gt; Hi All,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I am recently joined this group. I want to understand the procedural<br>
&gt; way how Android runs on Qemu?<br>
&gt; If anybody can update me on this, later I plan trying android porting<br>
&gt; on it, so that android application can run on that.<br>
<br>
</div></div>I believe Android uses its own fork of qemu and am not sure Android<br>
would run in vanilla Qemu:<br>

I think there are Android people reading this list as well, so they may<br>
correct me if I&#39;m wrong.<br>
