How Create AVD for Samsung Galaxy Tab



1. Open the Android AVD and SDK Manager 
2. Select Available Packages in the left panel of AVD Manager.



3. Click “Add ADD-on Site” and enter the URL below.
http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/srepository.xml 




4. Check Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on packages and click install button.
5. Check Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on license & Click install button.
6) After downloading and installation of GALAXY Tab Add-on, you should restart ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or Eclipse.


The important specs of this device, from an Emulator perspective, are:
  • Target platform: Android 2.2, Galaxy Tab
  • Screen Info: High Density, despite the fact that it’s not, this is what it reports, WSVGA (1024×600)
  • No keyboard
  • Has dual cameras
Let’s create an AVD configuration called GalaxyTab:
  • Within Eclipse, launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager
  • Select “Virtual Devices” from the left-hand options
  • Click the “New” button to create a new AVD configuration
  • Name the AVD: “GalaxyTab”
  • Select the Target: “GALAXY Tab Addon (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.) – API Level 8”
  • Input the SD Card Size: “2048 MiB” (or a suitable value for your uses)
  • Keep the default Skin Details: “Default (GALAXY Tab)”
  • Keep the default Hardware Property for Abstracted LCD Density: “240” (despite the real density being 170dpi)
  • Also leave the rest of the default hardware properties alone
  • Add a Hardware Property for Device ram size: “512”
  • Save the AVD



And output is as shown below:

    Hi,

    I use eclipse build v22.0.5-757759 and there is a separate AVD Manager , not "Android AVD and SDK Manager", so I tried the following steps:

    1.Open Android AVD Manager
    2.Tools->Manage Add-On Sites...
    3.User Defined Sites tab->New->enter the URL: http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/android/repository/srepository.xml

    After that I checked the Official Add-On Sites tab and Extras node in packages window, I found no Samsung GALAXY Tab Add-on packages.

    Could you kindly help me to solve this problem?

    R.Kos

Why Domain-Specific AI Agents Beat One Big Agent

Everyone is building agents right now. Real estate firms. Independent insurance brokers. Fortune 500 companies with budgets big enough to hire an army of consultants. Ask around and you'll hear the same story everywhere: "we're building our own agent." And yet almost nobody is asking the obvious question: why does the default approach keep failing? One large, general-purpose agent gets wired up to every tool the business owns. It impresses in the demo. Then it quietly stalls before production. There's a gap between what businesses want and what they're actually getting. They want AI woven into their data, their workflows, their day-to-day operations. What they get instead is one oversized agent trying to be a sales rep, a compliance officer, and a customer support line, all at once. That gap is an architecture problem, not a model problem. Key Takeaways The default "one big agent" pattern breaks down on context bloat, cost, fragility, and portability...

Don't Ship AI Agent Skills Without Evals

At the AI Engineer World's Fair on July 1, 2026, Philipp Schmid, a Staff Engineer on the Gemini API and agents team at Google DeepMind, asked a room full of engineers a simple question: who uses skills with their coding agents? Every hand went up. Who has evals for those skills? Almost none. That gap is the entire talk, which Schmid also wrote up on his own blog, philschmid.de/testing-skills . His team indexed the skills ecosystem through SkillsBench and found the same pattern everywhere: people ship a SKILL.md file after two manual test runs and move on. It looks fine in a demo. It quietly corrupts outputs in production, because bad skills don't crash. They just make the agent confidently wrong. If you've already read our breakdown of Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills library , think of this as the other half of that story: what happens once you've installed a skill and it's actually running against real prompts. Key Takeaways SkillsBench indexed 47,000+ un...
