I've been using this free emulator for a few months now and I thought I'd share it with you guys.

Droid4X is indeed one of the fastest and bloatware-free emulators around. I use to test my OpenGL based games and apps. Everything is handled smoothly at 60+ frames per second.

To use it with B4A, just copy the adb.exe file from your android-sdk folder onto the droid4x folder.

Did you compare it with Genymotion or any of the others?

From the ones I used before, it's hands down my favorite emu. In my order of preference:
- Arc-Welder: Not really an emulator, but hey, it runs my games!
- BlueStacks: It's a really good piece of software, but it's plagued with bloatware, adware, shitware and WTFware mandatory installs.
- Andy: Slower than BlueStacks on 32bit. Requires Oracle's VM installation. Heavy. Inconvenient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Genymotion: I couldn't get it to work for some reason. It annoyed me enough to give up and try Droid4X.

It's just my personal preference, I'm not preaching to anyone what they should install or not.
Also I'm not getting paid by Haiyu Dongxiang (I wish I was!). :D

Geny is, for me, excellent. the only issue that I have with it is that an app doesn't install when you set #CanInstallToExternalStorage: True

I did a quick look too and saw a post stating, basically, that Genymotion and Droid4X can not co-exist. One breaks the other. Since I have a working Genymotion environment and I like the fact that I can test on multiple Android versions with Genymotion, I will skip installing it. I guess this is just a warning for anyone looking to try it out that currently uses Genymotion.

Droid4x rocks, but could you step by step describe how you connect it to b4a? Which steps do you take after copying the adb file into the droid4x folder?

Thanks!

No more steps, only compile and run.
Just launch Droid4X before lauching B4A.

If I copy the adb from the sdk dir to the droid4x dir, run droid4x, run b4a, load my project and hit F5, it´s just telling me that I need to run the AVD manager.
