Based on my 30-60 minutes doing research on Google it seems there is no general solution for my question, but I wanted to double check on my favorite Q&A forum network, SE. So, how can I run an Android app on an iPhone?

I have tried only the android emulator in the android sdk, and waydroid until now. Apps installed into both say that they are running on a rooted device, what is right - having access to their image files I could actually do there what I want. However, I would be more happy to run seamlessly also them. Is there a solution, ideally free but also paid might be fine, where I can execute these apps and they do not know that the phone is "rooted"?

[fo2.exe](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.af.fo2) Android app fail to use sfall ddraw.dll, or fallout2-ce.apk fail to start, how to fix? Android 6.0.1, Samsung Galaxy J7, 32-bit phone. Using GOG Fallout 2. Using the latest After War: Nevada overhaul mod. Tried also latest sfall ddraw.dll sfall.dat update. fo2.exe Android app says "sfall is not enabled, enable it on app settings". But to enable it just requires ddraw.dll, sfall.dat, cfg and ini files to be present and they are all there... Fallout2-ce.apk insists on "failed to initialize input" even after setting the background mouse and keyboard to 1 in ddraw.ini What's the trick to make them work? Did tou make sfall work? Should I use older or specific versions of Fallout 2, Nevada mod, sfall? On Linux Wine, in ddraw.ini, I can set main menu offset x to 100 and it will work, after forcing native use of ddraw.dll, so ddraw.dll is being detected and loaded, but for some weird reason, despite the language being set to English in nevada.cfg, everything is in Russian (Nevada default language ignoring the nevada.cfg set to English) :/ fallout2-ce will load in English in Linux, but I want to play in Android! And fallout2-ce.apk won't start! Any help? ___ Updated: With the below workaround, sfall will work on linux wine with: wine Nevada but only with latest sfall version and vulkan d3d. That latest sfall will crash in fo2.exe app. The sfall that comes with nevada will start to load in fo2.exe app and complain about fallout2.exe crc. Adding the crc in ddraw.ini will avoid that error, but in j7 will still freeze, but may work for you, feel free to answer if you find a way to make it work, just copy whatever parts you need from here.

#### PATCH ddraw.dll to dtdrw.dll text ####

# prepare dtdrw.dll, it is still a wrapper to ddraw.dll, so it will not be modified below with sed
cp ddraw.dll dtdrw.dll

# patch all binaries that look for ddraw.dll to find dtdrw.dll instead
# the overwrite text must have the same size to not break the binary
# (obs.: fallout2.exe fallout2HR.exe NevadaHD.exe will never be used/run)
sed -i.date +'%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S_%N'.bkp -e 's@ddraw[.]dll@dtdrw.dll@g' -e 's@DDRAW[.]DLL@DTDRW.DLL@g' -e 's@DDRAW[.]dll@DTDRW.dll@g' Nevada.exe f2_res.dll F12SE/F12se.exe fallout2.exe fallout2HR.exe NevadaHD.exe 

# confirm
clear;egrep "(ddraw|dtdrw).dll" * -iRnIao --include="*.dll" --include="*.exe" 

# WINEDLLOVERRIDE wont be necessary now as dtdrw.dll overrides nothing: WINEDLLOVERRIDE="ddraw.dll=n" wine Nevada



#### PATCH ddraw.dll to dtdrw.dll CRC ####

# sfall (dtdrw.dll) will complaint of Nevada.exe wrong CRC ex.: 0xF746C240, that should be ex.: 0xE1680293. 930268E1 hexa order inverted here to easy find on hex editor like bless dtdrw.dll

# OR JUST appendd ,0xF746C240 to ddraw.ini ExtraCRC config ex.: ExtraCRC=0xC459EBDB,0xF9CE894F,0xA4BD8FFF,0xE60C7318,0xF746C240

# copy the CRC hexa 0xF746C240 that was read from Nevada.exe, invert each pair and paste in dtdrw.dll
# so paste (overwrite mode to not increase the size of the binary file) modified Nevada.exe CRC 40C246F7 over requested inside dtdrw.dll 930268E1 (there are two places to replace)
40C246F7 # (Nevada.exe) the hexa order is inverted here to easy paste on hex editor like bless dtdrw.dll, place the cursor on the begin of the hexa before pasting
#WARING: (do not try to run NevadaHD, sfall has HD and this patch will fail) 173884E8 # (NevadaHD.exe) the hexa order is inverted here to easy paste on hex editor like bless dtdrw.dll, place the cursor on the begin of the hexa before pasting
#WARING: (do not try to run fallout2HR, sfall has HR. not tested patching this)



#### in android, fo2.exe app tries to run fallout2.exe and not Nevada.exe at it's Nevada installation, why? ####
Before letting it copy the folder, rename fallout2.exe to fallout2.exe.bkp
duplicate Nevada.exe to fallout2.exe
This will stop the sfall CRC check error.
Obs.: after that it still did not work on J7 :(, but may work for you!



### TESTS ###
# running
fallout-ce # runs Nevada mod, runs very fast, shows the main menu offset but fails to allow pipboy from start, why?
wine Nevada # runs very slowly, will show the main menu offset and will let use pipboy from start, so the ddraw.ini configs works better

fallou2-ce.apk may require a pc mouse and keyboard plugged in the mini usb using a usb hub to work, or it has touch screen support? I think we need a usb otg and hub to test it then? Til now the only thing that works here is vanilla fallout2, no mods no sfall, on fo2.exe app.

I'm a developer and I want to test the behavior of an app I'm building in different versions of Android. Since I have JB, I want to try my app in ICS and GB to see how it works, with minimal details such as the action bar that was added in HC. I know about the AVD (Android Virtual Device), but it's just not smooth enough for me. That's why I ask if it's possible to do it with my own device or if I have to get other devices with a previous OS. I'm not worried about if an app is supported or not. Is it possible (through a menu setting or an app or something) to emulate a previous version of Android OS? For example, my device is running ICS 4.0.4 and I want it just for a moment to try an app have it in GB 2.3.6 or GB 2.3.3 or even further?

How to emulate binary program that reading port 53 will be redirected to another port such as port 10053. So the binary program still sees it as 53 but the actual port at top layer will be redirected to 10053. I'm using android non-root, the binary program is reading port 53 which it doesn't have DNS server installed and not permitted to listen such port (port 0-1023 is not allowed for non-root user) Is there any idea? Can proot handle that? Or is there another approach? Specifically, the binary program I mean is cloudflared. I downloaded cloudflared for aarch64 instead of from termux repository because cloudflared at termux is obselete, (it was working fine previously). That downloaded binary is trying to read port 53 for local dns server which it's not possible in android non root. Perhaps proot can do that?

I have an Android device without a camera and I run Whatsapp on that device. I want to activate Whatsapp Web from this device. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to scan a QR-code, and I can't do that as I have no camera. So, if I just could emulate camera input, that means use an image or video file of the QR code and have that be taken by the OS as camera input, then I would solve the problem. This is doable on Windows. I'm sure it should be doable on a rooted Android device as well, especially if we can use Xposed Framework. But the question is, does anybody know how to?

I have downloaded the Windows 10 ARM on my Android phone, but it stops when I press any keys to boot from the CD or DVD. Click the images for full-size This is my start.sh file:

And there it stops working. What can I do to make it go off successfully?

I have an Android tablet and have installed Winlator on it. It allows me to run Windows apps on Android. And I want to use it for an all-in-one animation setup and for that, I will need to connect the container of Winlator (Windows VM) to Android through a virtual USB connection. Is there any way I could do that? I tried searching for it on the web but there were no answers.

I'd like to use an Android phone for controlling presentations. I know there are some WiFi approaches, but often times the computer running the slideshow isn't owned by me and is not comfortable installing and running other software, especially stuff designed for remote control. So I'm specifically looking for some way to do this using the Bluetooth HID profile, as it requires very little set-up on the PC side. Basically, I'm looking for the Android equivalent to BlueMaemo . Is there a way to do this?

I'd like to install a specific **free** android app, which works under different Android smartphones (minimal requirements of Android 4.0): The freely available app is called **PostCard Creator** and useful to send Postcards in Switzerland where I live. It works under different physical android smartphones but not with all independent of the android version. Installation via Google PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.post.it.pcc I've tried different free **Android Emulators** for a lot of hours under **Windows** but without success. - **Android SDK** (tried with different virtual devices) - **Genymotion** (tried with different virtual devices) - **www.manymo.com** (App can be installed but not opened) - **BlueStacks** (App can be properly installed from Play Store but not opened) - **AndY** (Play Store notification "Your device is not compatible with this version", Version 4.2.2) - **Oracle VM VirtualBox** Android Version 4.2.2 (app can be installed from Play Store but not opened) - **YouWave for Android**: "There is a problem parsing the package." (I'm pretty sure: The apk is not corrupted.) - **Droid4X 0.8.5 Beta** (Play Store notification "Your device is not compatible with this version", Version 4.2.2) - **Xamarin Android Player** (CPU incompatible) For http://www.manymo.com I've used the legal APK Downloader (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apk-downloader/cgihflhdpokeobcfimliamffejfnmfii) to download the APK file which I uploaded here: http://www.file-upload.net/download-10976262/ch.post.it.pcc.apk.html The app perfectly runs in my physical smartphone with version 4.2.2. Based on an email request, the app doesn't depend on the android version. The developer says, it does not work with all devices. I've also tested the app compatibility online. The result was good. I would be very glad if someone succeeded to use the app PostCard creator on a Windows plattform. Does someone get it? (Alternatively, if you also don't succeed with Android emulators, I would be very happy if you know a workable way to emulate the PostCard Creator app file from the Itunes App Store, because it works also on my Iphone for free) ----- **Appendix with adb logcat (created on the 27.10.2015)** 1. Download of the newest version Genymotion 2.5.4 (available since 08.09.2015 with Oracle VM VirtualBox included) here and installation *on my Notebook (without physical GPS sensor) under Windows 8.1 Pro N / Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU / 64-Bit OS x64 based processor / in Switzerland with own IP* 2. Click "Add a first device" and select "Google Nexus 4 - 4.4.4 - API 19 - 768x1280" 3. Download "Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1zip" from here and drop it (in unzipped form) directly to the virtual device. Press OK when asked. Again Press OK when asked. Click Win+R and open path cmd.exe. Navigate to the corresponding folder with cd C:\Programme\Genymobile\Genymotion\tools (must be adapted to your path: If you enter dir you must see adb.exe, then you are in the correct folder.) Write: adb reboot (until virtual device has been restarted) 4. Download of "gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip" (needed for 4.4.x) based on here 5. To install the PlayStore: Drag&Drop the downloaded file (also unzipped) into the virtual device, click OK, wait, click OK, wait, write adb reboot into the console, wait. (Android is upgrading... Optimizing app XX of 22.) After the virtual device restarts, the PlayStore can be found now. 6. Login with personal Gmail-Account (also created in Switzerland) Update of the Google Plus Service and all automatically installed apps. 7. Try to install "PostCard Creator" from PlayStore (GPS is enabled, Camera is enabled, Identifiers is not enabled (impossible in the free version)) failed with the message: "Your device isn't compatible with this version." Then I tried drag&drop of the PostCard-File.apk. The symbol "PostCard Creator" is available under the APPS list. But clicking results with the notification: "Unfortunately, PostCard Creator has stopped." 8. Write adb logcat in the console **There is a long output, so I only get the last lines from cmd.exe console which I uploaded here **

I know that most Android phones save apk files and applications in the android/data folder but when I enter there is none of my already installed applications. Is there anywhere can I find them?

I need to run a Windows Phone 7 app developed for our company but no one has a Windows phone. Is there any way I can run it on my Android, perhaps a simulator or something?

I am looking for a way to run Apple apps on my Android Honeycomb device, without rooting if possible. Whether an iOS emulator or an app, or whatever...as long as I can go to the Apple App Store, download/install/run the app right from my Android device.

Some apps are exclusively made for iPhones, thus I would like to know if there is a way to make iPhone apps work on Android. Emulator maybe?

I use a platform that runs natively under any web browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.) and they also have an Android and iPhone app. This platform is running a little bit crazy under Windows Chrome or Firefox due to network restrictions from where I work, but for some unknown reason, it runs fine inside the Android app. I tried the app under the Bluestacks emulator and it ran fine, but I don´t want to have the emulator running and can't be on the phone all the time. I wonder if it´s possible to run the Android app inside Chrome (in Windows 10) or if it's possible to run some sort of dev tools inside Android to try to understand what´s wrong with the native website and why it works fine inside the Android platform. Any light in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I have a degoogled lineageos phone. I'd like to be able to play "A dance of fire and ice" and "cytus" on this device. If I have previously purchased these apps, I think I should be able to install them through the aurora store (Or worst case, extract an apk from another device and install it). The only problem is that I don't actually own any android devices with gapps to purchase these apps on, and the play store web interface doesn't let me purchase an app if I am not logged in on any eligible devices. Therefore I decided to set up a waydroid install with gapps, to try and get this stuff to work. However, after having done this, and navigating to the store page I see: "This app won't work for your device", and when I go to the web interface, I see the following: Of course android is being its usual opaque self, and not actually telling me why it "won't work on my device". I think I might be able to fix this by setting up waydroid in such a way that the playstore thinks that my device is in fact compatible with this app, just that I have no idea what it wants me to do for it to accept this app. Is the screen resolution wrong? Wrong android version? Something else entirely? I already purchased a play store gift card which I can't return anymore. Therefore there is no use in giving up because something might not work. I was willing to take the gamble when I bought that card in the first place anyways

From Nox documentation we know that there is following command: NoxConsole.exe list It lists existing emulators and some data about them. Example output follows: > 0,nox,Business,0,0,0,-1,-1 > > 1,Nox_1,Instagram,00210D2E,00371542,2732,23876 It is easy to understand that the 1st column is emulator index and the 3rd one is its name. But what information does other column contain? And why emulator which is currently running contains 7 columns, and stopped one contains 8 ones?

I just installed the Android emulator called Waydroid on Ubuntu 22.04. Almost everything seems to work as expected, except that I'm completely unable to turn on Wi-Fi usage. Whenever I toggle Wi-Fi on in the settings, the toggle goes to "On" but it doesn't actually turn on. If I leave that page in the settings, and return, it resets to Off. Any help?

Is it true that there is no Android emulator out there (as of May 2021) that can emulate an Android phone so that an app cannot detect it? Of all the emulators out there (I saw a 15 best Android emulator list ), they were not able to do it? The reason is it'd seem a bit strange why it is not possible to emulate such an environment totally, if a US$99 phone can do the job. (and that some developers may write the emulator with the original goal of: no code running in the emulator can tell it is an emulator). I think probably the official Android developer emulator cannot do the job either (maybe intentionally) or else it would be recommended as the method on some forum.

I need to do a strange task. I want to move whole android system to external SD card on Android Virtual Device. I need to do this, because android emulator, emulates SD commands, only for external card image. And I want to get SD commands trace, during Android Virtual Device usage. To be more precise: I want to move at least /system and /data folders to external storage. In such way, that system could still work fine =) Thank You!
