Android simulators are started slowly.

Android simulators are started slowly.

The Android simulator has always been known for its slow running speed and can be accelerated using intel haxm technology for the Andorid simulator. This allows the simulator to run more slowly than a real machine.

1. What is Intel HAXM?

Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) uses Intel (R) Virtualization Technology (VT)-based Hardware acceleration. Therefore, the CPU needs to support VT and is limited to Intel CPU, which is not compatible with amd cpu, intel HAXM is described as follows:

• Use Intel VT technology;
• Provides hardware acceleration for simulated running of Android x86 Virtual Devices;
• Integrate with Android SDK;

The hardware requirements are as follows:

• Supports Intel processors such as VT-x, EM64T, and Execute Disable Bit;
• At least 1 GB available memory

Supported operating systems:

• Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
• Windows Vista (32/64-bit)
• Windows XP (32-bit only)
• OS X 10.6 or 10.7 (32/64-bit)

2. How to use Intel HAXM

After you download HAXM, you need to run the installer to install it,

3. Download The X86 Image

The downloaded image package is decompressed to the android-X Directory of the SDK installation directory \ system-images.

4. Create an AVD

 

If there are no errors in the above steps, the Android simulator runs at almost the same speed as the real machine.
