Hello,

For the past few days I've been trying to setup a perfect development and testing environment for:

1. 1st attemp
I installed Android (android-x86-4.0-RC2-eeepc.iso) on Virtualbox but run into these problems:
* No Wi-fi, but Ethernet instead (a Wired Android... duh!)
* "adb remount" not working, even with "su"
* I had to run this every time I start the device (8.8.8.8 is Google DNS)
Code:
# dhcpcd; setprope net.dns1 8.8.8.8
* Google apps not responding

2. 2nd Attemp
I used Buidroid (buildroid_vbox86p_4.0.3_r1-20120518.ova) and run into these problems:
* ALT F1 does nothing, I know I can use a terminal emulator but I like ALT F1
* I had to run this every time I start the device (8.8.8.8 is Google DNS)
Code:
# dhcpcd; setprope net.dns1 8.8.8.8


So could someone help me on setting a good Android testing environment, the closest possible to a real phone.

Thanks in advance.

Nabil.
