Hi Fangfei, If you want to try to install an APK on one of the gem5 disk images available at: http://gem5.org/bbench-gem5, it's pretty easy. As long as the APK doesn't require any unsupported devices, or isn't written with a version of Android that is incompatible with the disk image.
Simply mount the image, then copy the apk file to /system/app. If you notice there are a few APKs that I added to the Gingerbread image, ReplicaIsland.apk and smartbench.apk. Both worked ok with this method.
