As a gaia developer, I'd like to 1) have a easy way to simulate network/carrier operations, e.g. sending SMS/MMS, for gaia tests (The current way is to have a mock function which is tedious...). And this needs to be programmable from the marionette tests; 2) be able to simulate single-sim and dual-sim features Per discussion in Portland workweek, 'emulator' could be a good base to keep work on, because a) we already have not only single-sim but multi-sim supports on emulator b) we already have fundamental telephony/network features ready on emulator, e.g. voice call, data call, sms, sim cards, though we still have lots of to do such as mms c) we already have marrionette webapi tests run on emulator d) WebIDE already works with emulator that could provide very similar development experiences to gaia developers e) in addition to telephony network features, we also have nfc, wifi, bt support on emulator However, we still need major improvements on emulator before we could deliver a friendly experience in gaia development. a) We need to make an easy path to replace gaia files into the emulator, which comes with a pre-build gecko/gaia b) We need a much faster emulator. Currently, we are running arm-based emulator with very old qemu version. We need to update the android qemu version in addition to making x86-based emulator working. c) We need emulator for kikkat. Currently we are still running emulator-ics. d) We need to make gaia-ui tests run on emulator e) Of course, we should keep working on strengthening the emulator capability.

How does emulator simulate network/carrier operations?
