Slow Startup for Android simulator

The Android Simulator has been known for its slow running speed and can be accelerated by using Intel HAXM technology for the Andorid simulator. The simulator runs at a level comparable to the real machine, completely solves the problem that the simulator runs slowly.

1. What is Intel HAXM?

Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated execution Manager) uses Intel (R) virtualization Technology (VT)-based hardware acceleration, which requires CPU support for VT, while and is limited to the Intel CPU, and AMD CPU is not, the description of Intel HAXM is as follows:

• Using Intel VT technology;
• Provides hardware acceleration for analog running of Android x86 virtual devices;
• Integration with Android SDK;

The hardware requirements are as follows:

• Intel processors that support Vt-x, EM64T, and Execute Disable Bit;
• At least 1GB of 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 Intel HAXM is used

After downloading HAXM, you need to run Setup to install it.

3. Download the X86 image

If the SDK installation fails, you can download the X86 image package for the corresponding API separately (the image package named Sysimg_armv7a-x_rx.zip, X is the corresponding version number), and then extract the downloaded image package to the SDK installation directory \system-images\ The corresponding Android-x directory.

4. Create a new AVD

If none of the above steps are wrong, then the Android emulator can run almost as fast as the real machine.
