Remote host debugging on android x86

There is a pretty cool way to debug android applications on an android x86 host
when you don't have usb connection between your workstation and the the device (in my case the netbook)

Here is described how can be done
And here is my screenshot with my Eclipse session debugging one remote app (you can even put breakpoints and is quite fast at deploying the app)


Here is the remote breakpoint example



What is next class ? nacl native apps for x86 at last
and maybe qt debugging on the device

Android x86 and grub2 - peace at last


I found a way to add android to the grub2 menu from debian on my eeepc laptop and on my debian/ubuntu workstations
Thanks for this page http://www.ceh-photo.de/blog/?p=357 I have downloaded the latest nightly for
eeepc http://android-x86.moonman.dk/
downloaded and created a usb disk
http://android-x86.moonman.dk/files/eeepc/eeepc-20110505_usb.img
dd if=eeepc-20110505_usb.img of=/dev/sdb
or if you use generic
dd if=eeepc-20110505_usb.img of=/dev/sdb
booted installed (without the grub installation option)
added android to the grub2 menu (debian sid, it should work on natty
too) and all worked without issues after that 




for me the system dir was /android-2011-02-xx and the
androidboot_hardware=eeepc
or if you run a genric pc
androidboot_hardware=generic_x86
please verify your dirs and mount your android partition to check the
dir name before running update-grub
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt
ls /mnt/
android-2011-02-20  lost+found
Here is the full custom grub

And don't forget to update the grub2 config
update-grub



ps: now i should create a fake sdcard so applications can be installed
