I have successfully got Android running on a VMWare. I have a few questions
1) The keyboard is painful. When in the shell I cannot CTRL-C to kill logcat etc. Is there a way to fix the keyboard so it work properly? 2) How can I set up for debugging ie how exactly do I run adb? 3) Has anyone managed to forward the AT commands to a GSM modem connected to a serial port?
