None of these solutions worked for me  Instead  what worked was to go to a command line tool  or terminal in Mac   CD into the SDK platform-tools directory  and then run this   adb kill-server   then run this   adb start-server   After I did this everything worked again  Why  Who knows   On my MAC the path to the platform-tools folder was  HOME Installations adt-bundle-mac-x86 64-20130522 sdk platform-tools It will probably be somewhere else on your machine   I also found this page that presents some helpful steps   http   android okhelp cz android-emulator-wont-run-application-started-from-eclipse

The solution which worked for me is  when you get the message      Waiting for HOME   android process acore   to be launched      Wait for few seconds and then right click on the project and click run as Android application once again

I solved this issue by creating a new virtual device and launching it from the AVD manager  The device takes a few minutes to start  you just have to wait  Then you can run your application on the already started device

This problem occurs because while creating the AVD manager in the  Create new Android virtual device AVD   dialog window   Snapshot  was marked as  Enabled  by me    Solution   Create a new AVD manager with  the  Enabled  checkbox  not checked and then try running the project with the newly created AVD manager as  Target    the problem will not occur anymore

SOLUTION   Run the emulator from the command line   sdk tools gt    emulator-x86 -avd  lt DeviceName gt  -partition-size 1024 -gpu on   Then I launched the app from the command line as well  using built-in Cordova PhoneGap tools    myapp cordova gt    run   BACKGROUND  I believe this is some sort of hardware compatibility issue   I came across this problem when following the PhoneGap 2 4 0 Getting Started Instructions   I followed their advice to install the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager  and I think this is the source of my trouble   Eclipse uses the emulator64-x86 program  in the sdk tools folder  to launch the emulator   I could not find any way inside of Eclipse to change this but I found by following the  Tips  amp  Tricks  section of the Intel HAXM web page that I could get the emulator to run successfully from the command line by using the emulator-x86 program instead   I m not sure why the emulator64-x86 program doesn t work on my system   I confirmed at the Apple website that I do have a 64-bit processor   My system    OSX 10 6 8 2x2 26 GHx Quad-core Intel Xeon 6 GB RAM ADT v21 1 0-569685 Eclipse 3 8 0   My AVD    Device  Nexus One Target  Android 4 2 2 - API Level 17 CPU  Intel Atom  x86  RAM  512 Internal Storage  256 SD Card  128

I get this problem all the time and have lost many hours of potential productivity and education while I try to fix it   The only thing that works for me is the combination of three other good answers    Project -  Clean Delete all the AVDs and create new ones If an attempt to run still hangs too long on  Waiting for HOME   over two minutes  or the emulator keeps rebooting every minute or so  try  Run as Android App several times  choosing the same existing emulator instance  I always choose runs manually       It s odd that no one has a clue why this problem comes up  what causes it or what is going on internally    The only clue I can supply is that DDMS shows a few lines like  Class not found for preloading  libcore base CollectionUtils  during the  Waiting for HOME  pause

What worked for me was enabling the checkbox  Use Host GPU  when creating or editing the AVD  Android Virtual Device   This checkbox was not enabled by default
