How can I run Android emulator for Intel x86 Atom without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 for API 21 and 19

Question

I have not enabled Hyper V or hardware acceleration and don t want to either   Is there any way that I can start android emulator for Intel x86 Atom Without hardware acceleration on Windows 8   I have created AVDs with every combination possible and each one has failed to  start the AVD emulator instance   throwing the same error when starting      emulator  ERROR  x86 emulation currently requires hardware   acceleration  Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and   usable  CPU acceleration status  HAX kernel module is not installed    OR is it that  the images given for Intel Atom 86 and 64 cannot run without HARDWARE ACCELERATION AND hyper V for API 21 and 19  I have found lots of similar question and read almost all documentation  but it is not clear if they can or cannot run without hyper v and hardware acceleration  hence this direct question  How do you test on android in such cases

Not with the standard Android SDK emulator, as it requires Intel's HAXM, and HAXM wants virtualization extensions to be enabled.

Whether Genymotion or something else from another independent developer can support your desired combination, I cannot say.

You can still force the use of the soft x86 emulator by running it from the command line and using the -no-accel option  i e  from the SDK tools directory   emulator -avd AVD NAME -memory 768 -no-accel -gpu on   BUT this still won t work with the current  V24  SDK  because the current x86 system images crash the soft x86 emulator  -   The only way I got this working again was to downgrade the SDK tools to V22 3 from here  http   dl-ssl google com android repository tools r22 3-windows zip and to buld an AVD using a downgraded system image  for instance https   dl-ssl google com android repository sys-img android sysimg x86-17 r02 zip   So this is no help if you need to test on more recent versions of Android    Google have moved on to an updated version of their emulator based on a more recent version of qemu  and provide binaries for arm and mips emulators  but have omitted to ship the x86 equivalent  there is no emulator-ranchu-x86 exe and emulator64-ranchu-x86 exe   If they did so  or if someone else went to the trouble of setting up and compiling their emulator source with the  x86  flag on  then  x86 soft emulation could conceivably be made to work again

yes is possible to run your android emulator without have a hardware accelerator  In fact to do that  you need to open your android virtual device   When you reached to system image configure  it suggest you which version of android image you want to use  Whatever version of android system image that you select you need to make sure that ABI is armeabi-v7a and  you target is System image ameabi-v7a with google APIs  And then complete the rest of task and check out your emulator

The usage of the Hardware acceleration depends on the System Image you choose on the emulator   So    Go to AVD manager  create virtual device  select hardware  click next  Choose the System Image that does not require HAXM  hardware acceleration  for running   That is appears at the right bottom of System image window     Note  for other systems that require HAXM  there no way to run them without hardware acceleration

Short Answer  No  Until recently about 1 month ago   you could do that but with the latest updates  it is not possible   see Update to Android SDK Tools 23 0 5 and avd doesn  39 t start    I was doing something similar  Doing development in a virtual machine and hence couldn t use the Hardware acceleration features as they are available only in the host machine  I was using Intel x86 images with Use Host GPU option  as they were much faster than the ARM version even without hardware acceleration  But then  after this update  my emulator AVDs which were working earlier are no longer starting with the same exact error message  Also  both genymotion and Xamarin Android emulators can t be used as they also need hardware acceleration they are actually VMs which use Hardware acceleration for speed  and hence can t be run inside another VM     I have found this solution but haven t tried it yet  The basic idea is that to still develop inside a VM  but for testing connect to an Emulator running on the host machine and this Emulator VM can now use the hardware acceleration feature

In current AVD manager you can t  You just have the opportunity to use ARM images which will not need hardware virtualization   To run ARM images    Open AVD manager  Create a new  Virtual Device  OR right click an existing image and select  Duplicate  Choose arm  instead of x86 x64  Continue with the wizard  Run    Although this is the available solution but still a slow one

You need  VT-x supported processor  at least to run Android emulator with Hardware acceleration   If you have enabled or installed  Hyper-V  in your windows 8 then please remove it and disable the  Hyper threading  and enable  Virtualization
