Installing Android 3.0 Honeycomb on PC to Test.

If you are already excited looking at Android 3.0 Honeycomb Features which is said to be awesome OS for Tablets, then try it on your Windows computer using emulator without actually buying any Android 3.0 Tablet. 

1. Download Android 3.0 SDK from official site. I recommend Installer version for maximum simplicity. It will prompt to you to install Java SE Development Kit if not already installed.

2. When the installation is complete, program will self run and you’ll be asked to choose packages to install. From here, you have select only Android 3.0 components necessary. 

By default, all are checked as Accept and hence, you will have to Reject components by selecting them individually except Android SDK Platform-tools, version 3 and Android Platform SDK 3.0, API11, Revision 1

3. After downloading and installation of above components is finished, create AVD (Android Virtual Device)

 

 

4. Start the created Virtual Device.

First Boot will take few minutes but be patient and wait for device to start.

Android Skin Pack 1.0.

For an Android obsessed, who wants even its Windows 7 desktop to look similar to Android then this transformation pack should be its interest. This skin pack is very easy and also very safe and secure way to turn Windows 7 to Android. This Android Skin Pack transforms most of the visual elements of Windows 7 to respective Android element.  Thus making it very much similar to an Android running device.

Supports:
Windows 7 , Windows 7 SP1 - [X86 (32Bit)] - [All Language]

Android Skin Pack contains:

1. Android Visual Style for Windows
2. Android Bootscreen
3. Android Login Screen and Wallpaper
4. Rocket Dock (Super Cool launcher on Desktop)
5. UberIcon  which provides effects on opening a folder or file.
6. Top Taskbar which takes your taskbar to top side.
7. Related Android Icons for common apps (Windows Media Player, Notepad, etc.)

Explorer has grey icons with awesome progress bar for file operations. Most of the text elements are given green color which is obvious.

Overall, the interface of the installer is beautiful, simple and minimalistic, thus being very easy to use and without any confusion. Though, there are just few wallpapers included however you can always search the web for android wallpaper collection.In short, it gives your windows a very fresh feel and a new look.

Best thing about Android Skin pack is no manual file replacement procedure is required to complete the installation successfully; you just have to run an installer which will do the rest for you by a simple click on the 'NEXT' button..

Just like installation, uninstallation too is quite simple. An uninstaller is included so, just check all the elements you want to remove and reboot windows to back your old interface.

During installation, Skin Pack takes a backup of all System files responsible for visual styling. This is helpful as in most cases, we mess with it and end up having mixed crappy interface.
