<div dir="ltr">To elaborate a little more: the main issue is QEMU yet again changing things up in how you write peripherals. So most of the Android emulator peripherals that Josh Hodosh painstakingly ported (over ~6 months if I remember) to QEMU 1.1 for PANDA1 now have to be ported again :(<div><br></div><div>In the past, I have been able to get Android images that were specifically ported to a platform QEMU supports natively (such as the vexpress-a9) running in PANDA. And going even further, I think there are now x86 Android builds, which presumably would work in QEMU out of the box. I don't know if either of those are similar enough to the Android that runs on modern phones for your purposes, but it seems like it's worth a shot.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Brendan</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 9:03 AM, Leek, Timothy - 0559 - MITLL <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tleek@ll.mit.edu" target="_blank">tleek@ll.mit.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Manolis. If you want to use taint, you should definitely use taint2 from PANDA2. That’s the best option in terms of speed and correctness. I don’t know about getting Android working on PANDA2. We haven’t tried to port any of the
required code over and the guy who originally got that stuff working has left MIT. Certainly, you wouldn’t be able to do much with graphics even if you got it up and running.<u></u><u></u></p>
