Install the Android Market on Android SDK

1. Download and install Android SDK. After that, set up a new emulator. 2. Go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8 (this is the default folder for SDK Platform Android 2.3, API 8, revision 1), copy system.img and paste it to C:\Users\Username\.android\avd\Emulators name.avd 3. Download tow files: Vending.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk. After that, put all these files into C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools, 4. Press Winkey+R, type cmd and press Enter. In command prompt, change the directory to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools.

5. Type the following: emulator avd titanium_7_HVGA partition-size 100 and hit Enter (please replace titanium_7_HVGA with your emulators name). This command will launch your emulator.

6. Launch another command prompt window, switch to C:\Program Files\Android\androidsdk\tools, type in: adb -s emulator-5554 shell and hit Enter. (Please make sure that the emulator is fully loaded, and replace 5554 with your emulators serial code which you can find at the top of emulators window.) After that, type mount and hit Enter again. You will see something like below, and look for the line: /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system yaffs2 ro 00.

7. Now, type in: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system and hit Enter. This will remount the /system in read-write mode. Because we will copy some files to /system/app later, we must set read-write permission to that directory. To do it, type the following: chmod 777 /system/app , hit Enter. After that, you need to exit. Type exit, hit Enter again. The whole step will look like this.

8. In this step, we will copy two files: Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk into /system/app. To do this, from the second command prompt window, type: adb -s emulator-5554 push Vending.apk /system/app/. and hit Enter. Similar to that, to copy the next file, type: adb -s emulator-5554 push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/. , hit Enter again. If sucess, it will look like this.

9. Now, you need to remove SdkSetup.apk from /system/app (if it is not removed, the SDK will be restore in next session). In the second command prompt window, type: adb shell rm /system/app/SdkSetup.apk , hit Enter. 10. Close your emulator. 11.Go to C:\Users\Username\.android\avd\Emulators name.avd and delete these two files: userdata-qemu.img and cache.img. Launch your emulator in the normal way and then, you will see Android Market from the list.
