Hey, the emulator is getting faster

[hackhack]

Now apparently it has native support for x86 - meaning it shouldn't be slow as an evil year when you run the emulator

Android SDK updated, emulator now natively supports x86 | The Verge

I updated my SDK to ver 17 and ran an Emulator. I saw no difference in speed...still runs very slow. I'm on Win7. Maybe I have to do something else?

Have you installed the "Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager" with the Android SDK Manager?

Seems, Intel 2.3 image works a bit faster, but not super (Win7 64bit, Intel i3/4GB), but it has only EN locale and only EN input lang. :-(

I didn't have the hardware option installed, so I did that and the emulator is a little faster. Not much faster but an improvement.

So if I have an AMD-CPU I won't be able to benefit?

Guess that depends if it is x86 compliant or not.

only 32 bit ? or 64 also ?

I believe most (if not all) amd64 cpu's are backwards compatible with x86.

What processor you got?

Tried aswell.

I am getting the following message

"...
emulator: device fd:740
HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode
..."

But when i run my project it always says

AndroidManifest-Example.xml file will be created instead.

Unchecking "Project - Can Install To External Storage" may solve this problem.

If i remove the external storage it works fine. I think its way faster. I have an i7

Hi,

i got AMD Quad-Core A3420M 1.5GHz Processor ( 4MB L2 Cache ) . can it make the emulator faster?

thanks

I'm pretty sure it only works with intel Core i3/5/7 's not amd (it uses Intel Vt-d instructions, so probably not low end intel processors either), and it's also good to note that it conflicts with virtualbox if you use it, or any other virtualization software for that matter, so it's kind of a pain since you have to disable it to get the others working etc...
