CyanogenMod on Android emulator - is it possible?

Question

I'm testing several modifications of Cyanogen MOD ROM's. It's not really comfortable to test them on real device. So the question: is it possible to install custom ROM (in particular CyanogenMod) on standard (or non-standard) Android emulator?

Solution

Run the Android SDK Manager and in menus, navigate to Tools->Manage Add-on Sites. In the window that opens, click the User Defined Sites tab and click the New button.

Enter the following URL:

http://nushio.fedorapeople.org/cyanogenmod/repository.xml

After installing it and refreshing the packages list, you will find CyanogenMod-Kang Emulator in Android API 9, revision 3.

Install and enjoy!

btw, if I were to do run the build (cm for emulator), should I be using device "goldfish" in the command, e.g. lunch cm_goldfish_userdebug?

There was an interesting edit suggestion that was rejected. Maybe you would like to apply it manually.
