is there a way to emulate a galaxy s4 with the actual samsung android version?
I mean, in Eclipse I can emulate the hardware of the s4, but then the os running is Android stock, while the one which is running into the s4 is customized by Samsung.
Is any way to achieve this?
You can not emulate Samsung OS, as they distribute their OS only as binarys for each device, and not as opensource.
So you can not use it on a different hardware than a Samsung Phone.

I'm looking into ways to emulate a Galaxy S8 for android development. One path of interest is Genymotion. I've found that they have Galaxy S8 listed as a device, but my understanding is that "you can't emulate a galaxy s8."
So what does Genymotion do? Is it just a basic emulation with a skin? Or have they put in some extra work to get a more accurate result?
Use case
I want my emulator UI as exact replica of Actual phone device(Samsung galaxy S7).
Target phone : Samsung galaxy S7
What i tried :
I uesd Genymotion and AVD both to create an exact replica of Samsung galaxy S7 , but the UI differs.
Genymotion UI of samsung galaxy S7
Actual\Expected UI of phone
Can anyone please suggest how can i get the exact replica of UI in AVD or in Genymotion
Note: I already have tried with samsung UI skin
Unfortunately, that is not possible: vendors like Samsung do not provide the source code for their custom user interface, so they cannot be integrated in Genymotion ROMs.
What if we really need HTC emulator? Because sometimes each brand has different system management....
I can find addon for Samsung Galaxy Tab but nothing for other brands.
I am having a problem reproducing errors on HTC device while other devices runs well.
I created a battery widget which runs well on Samsung but some users using HTC and Motorola claim that battery level is not showing correct values.
How to do this?
You can create virtual devices to emulate HTC Evo 4G, Google/HTC Nexus One and T-Mobile/HTC G1

Can I test Android smartphones applications on Samsung Galaxy Tab ?
Let's say I want to develop Android applications for HTC,and I only have Galaxy.
Can I simulate smaller resolutions on Galaxy to see how it would work on HTC ?
thanks
Just create some android emulators with different screen sizes. Also testing on emulator will be faster and easier to debug.

You can download a predefined AVD from Samsung.
This allows to integrate the Samsung Galaxy Tab into the AVD manager and Eclipse.

Is there a way, to try my project on a samsung galaxy emulator, or something like that?
My project work on HTC Legend, but its crashes on that device. How i can set up a samsung galaxy s on android/eclipse?
I set up a W800/854 2.2 AVD but it work.. but on the samsung phone it was a crash..
The odd thing with Galaxy S is the presence of two external storages. This can not be emulated in AVD. More over current Android SDK lacks support for two storages. At least this was the issue with my own application on Galaxy S.
