How to fix HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode

Question

Question is  I get  HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode   is this related to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM  installation and running avd with cpu set to CPU Intel Atom  x86   And even though it feels like AVD runs faster after i installed HAXM  does this message indicates that AVD performance is hindered  Should it be fixed and if so  how   I am running on mac os x 10 9 1   Listing what is installed on my system via android sdk manager    Tools  Android SDK Tools Rev 22 3 Android SDK Platform-tools rev 19 0 1 Android SDK Build-tools Rev 19 0 1 Android SDK Build-tools Rev 19         Android 4 4 2  API 19   SDK Platform ARM EABI v7a System Image Intel x86 Ato System Image Google APIs Sources for Android SDK         Extras  Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM  AND I ALSO run dmg installer as well  and installed hot fix  after i found out about it     AVD set up   Platform 4 4 2 API Level 19 CPU Intel Atom  x86    Once i run avd    ruby-2 0 0-p353   android     tools emulator -avd 1AVD -wipe-data -no-boot-anim -cpu-delay 0   i get following and emulator eventually loads  emulator  The memory needed by this VM exceeds the driver limit   HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode

You have to verify than the size allocated while doing HAX installation is the same than the size in the AVD emulator configuration.

Download HAXM from SDK Manager  Open your SDK Manager from Android Studio  click the icon shown in the screen shot     Click on  Launch Standalone SDK Manager  on the  Default Settings  Dialog     Check node  Extras   Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM installer   and proceed with HAXM download     Installing or Modifying HAXM  You can now access with installation  or modifying existing installtino  of HAXM by accessing the download location  Enter this path in  run        localappdata  Android sdk extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager   and double click the file  intelhaxm-android exe   You can increase the size of memory allocated to HAXM while modifying existing HAXM install  I have a machine with 32 GB of RAM and would like to launch multiple AVDs at same time  for automated testing etc   so I have allocated 8 GB to HAXM   Caveat  If you are running one AVD of one 1 GB and allocated 2 GB to HAXM  you cannot run another AVD with RAM more than 1 GB  Please make sure that Android Device Monitor is not running when you are modifying or installing HAXM  just to avoid any suprises      These steps are tested on Windows platform  but generally could be applied to other platforms too with slight modification

My problem was that I could no longer run an emulator that had worked because I had quit the emulator application but the process wasn t fully ended  so I was trying to launch another emulator while the previous one was still running  On a mac  I had to use the Activity Monitor to see the other process and kill it  Steps    Open Activity Monitor  in Utilities or using Command Space  Locate the process name  in my case  qemu-system    Select the process  Force the process to quit using the  x  button in the top left  I didn t have to use  Force Quit   just the plain  Quit   but you can use either

For Windows   In Android Studio   Tools   Android   AVD Manager   Your Device   Pencil Icon  Show Advanced Settings   Memory and Storage   RAM   Set RAM to your preferred size   In Control Panel   Programs and Features   Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager   Change   Set manually   Set RAM to your preferred size   It is better for RAM sizes set in both places to be the same

Default memory assigned to HAX is 1024MB  And the emulator has 1536MB apparently for Nexus 5x api 25   if you re using Android Studio     just go to tools -  AVD manager  Then select the emulator and click on pencil button on the right for editing  Go to advanced settings in the new window and change the RAM value to 1024   Works like a charm

Yes it should be fixed  HAXM isn t working   HAXM sometimes works  experience with HAXM is currently sporadic across platforms   For instance  I ve got late 2009 iMac running 10 8 5 and i7 processor  2 8Ghz  Android SDK 22 6 with all the goodies updated this morning  03 05 14   API17 will build emulators with HAXM acceleration on this iMac machine  API19 chokes out   I also have early 2013 MBP 15  Retina running 10 8 5 and i7 processor  2 7Ghz  Android SDK 22 6 with all the goodies updated this morning  03 05 14   API17 will build emulators with HAXM acceleration  API19 works great too   Ditto for my  personal  late 2013 MBP Retina 13  with dual-core i5 and Mavericks   There is something going on for virtualization at the chip level missing from older CPU s  even i7 s  that the new API19 x86 images need for HAXM to work  If API19 is not working  give API17 or even 16 a try

Either increase the ram size allocated while doing HAX installation   so as to fit exactly or a bit more higher space than the ram size of the emulator which you want to launch in   Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM    mode   Once you succeed with that  you can now able to view this in the console  log

The way I solved it is by setting the AVD memory limit and HAXM memory to be equal in size which is 1 GB   1024 MB  The AVD cannot have higher memory limit than the HAXM    1  Setting the HAXM memory to be 1024 M  The only way to change the HAXM memory is by installing it again  I did it using the terminal  Locate Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager in your machine  Then change directory that folder to run the installation script   cd   Library Android sdk extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager  -OR-  cd   Library Developer Xamarin android-sdk-macosx extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager   May need to change permissions   sudo chmod 755  HAXM installation    Then     HAXM  installation -m 1024  -OR-  sudo    HAXM installation  -m 1024   2  Setting the virtual device the same size with HAXM memory limit    This works for me  Good luck

Yes it should be fixed  HAXM isn t working  How much RAM is set for use inside your AVD configuration    768M is a good number for it  but most importantly this number has to be lower or equal to the memory usage you have set during the installation of HAXM  You can launch its installation again to modify it

Re-open your AVD device configuration  by editing device in the AVD manager  proceed to select the AVD Android version  At the right pane a recommendation is displayed follow that recommendation and all will be fixed

geckob s solution works perfectly  Caution   The HAXM that you provide is used across all running devices   So if you are testing on a phone and Tablet at the same time and each has a requirement of 1G   Then make sure your HAXM alloted is atleast 2G

If you are on a mac you can install haxm using homebrew via cask which is a built-in extension  as of 2015  which allows installing non-open-source and desktop apps  i e  chrome  firefox  eclipse  etc     brew cask install intel-haxm    Android Studio  If you are using Android Studio then you can achieve the same result from the menu Tools   SDK Manager  and then on the SDK Tools tab  select the checkbox for Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM installer   and click Ok
