I h...Ok, to your first comment: You're welcome! I hope it works, still, though. It's been a long time since I last tried it out -- I got my first Android phone not long after writing this :-)<br /><br />Anyway, as for step 8: You're correct in creating the directory in your home directory. In fact, the ~ (tilde) is a shorthand for a user's home directory. So, if you're logged in as user "paul" and you type the command "mkdir -p ~/.android/avd", you will create a new dir with the complete path /home/paul/.android/avd .<br /><br />Remember to not only create a dir ".android" in your home dir, but also create a dir "avd" in the ".android" dir, and extract the files to the "avd" dir. I think the screenshot accompanying step 8 illustrates this well, if I'm still being unclear.<br /><br />If you did this, and it still doesn't work, well... Am I correct in assuming you're able to boot into the Virtual Device called "AndEmu" (the Android 1.5 image downloaded from Tech Droid), but just not able to access Android Market / Google Play? Then perhaps, something was broken at the point where Android Market changed into Google Play. If that's the case, there's probably not much to do about it, other than go out and get a real (old, used?) Android phone :-)prydshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122161970795333345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519174235184012855.post-67422043184203309432013-08-30T18:44:45.594+02:002013-08-30T18:44:45.594+02:00So...

Awesome initiative, and you describe exactly what I want to accomplish so I could not be more excited :-D<br />But something's not right since I can't access google play at all, and I did everything "to the T" and can only feel that step 8 is the only thing that could be... well... something...<br />You didn't specify as to where to create this .android-folder (in step 8.) -also "if necessary" implies that the folder may already exist, but still no mention of -where-. Either way I just created it directly in my home-folder, since you don't say for example; in the SDK-folder...<br />what is the correct location for creating this folder (going on the information in step 9 I'd say I got it right already, but I am desperate to play wordfeud and need to know)?<br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519174235184012855.post-7224381332135190922013-01-23T11:53:56.385+01:002013-01-23T11:53:56.385+01:00Hmm...

Perhaps one of the answers there will help you? Or, perhaps the suggestion at http://goo.gl/9KYWg (also StackOverflow) will help (scroll down a bit on that page for a *nix answer)?
