Error in launching AVD with AMD processor

Question

I have Windows 8 1 pro with an AMD processor  I installed the Android SDK and Eclipse  It works but the problem is that when I Create AVD and launch it shows this error      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    I have already installed Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager and I have enabled Virtual modulation from the boot menu  but it s still not working

I don t know if this is going to work but you can try this   It s becoming pretty clear that the emulator team needs to do a better job of disseminating this information about how to use the emulator on AMD on Windows  This question comes up every week it seems   First  uninstall HAXM   Next  go here - https   developer android com studio run emulator-acceleration vm-windows and follow the instructions for Configuring VM acceleration with Windows Hypervisor Platform  Finally  if you get low framerates in your emulator instances  follow the instructions in the same page for Enabling Skia rendering for Android UI

If you re running Mac  as  pedro mentions ensure you have the HAXM installer dowloaded via the Android SDK Manager    Next install it  In finder navigate to  YOUR SDK PATH extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager    Run and install the  mpgk in the following  dmg   Yosemite  IntelHAXM 1 1 0 for 10 10 dmg Pre-yosemite   IntelHAXM 1 1 0 below 10 10 dmg   El Capitan  IntelHAXM 6 0 1 dmg - please install the IntelHAXM 6 0 1 mpgk file within - it will ask you if you want to reinstall it  Just say yes    Example     cd  YOUR SDK PATH extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager   open IntelHAXM 1 1 0 below 10 10 dmg

This resolves it for me   Go to  C  users  USERNAME  AppData Local Android sdk  generally     Then go to Extras -  Intel -  Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager and run the file named  intelhaxm-android exe    In case you get an error like  Intel virtualization technology  vt vt-x  is not enabled   go to your BIOS settings and enable Hardware Virtualization   Restart your studio

So I am having this issue and it seems that unless you are on Linux you will not be able to use HAXM   EDIT  this is if you have an AMD chip  non intel  of course as that is the issue   As stated on the Android Site      Many modern CPUs provide extensions for running virtual machines  VMs    more efficiently  Taking advantage of these extensions with the   Android emulator requires some additional configuration of your   development system  but can significantly improve the execution speed    Before attempting to use this type of acceleration  you should first   determine if your development system   s CPU supports one of the   following virtualization extensions technologies   Intel Virtualization Technology  VT  VT-x  vmx  extensions             AMD Virtualization  AMD-V  SVM  extensions  only supported for Linux    As others have mentioned Genymotion may be a solution

As many other pointed out  Intel HAXM only supports Intel CPUs  Since Windows 1804 you can use Microsoft s Hyper-V instead of HAXM for the emulator  This also helps people who want to use Hyper-V for virtual machines as you need to disable hyper-v to run haxm   Short version    install Windows Hypervisor Platform feature Update to Android Emulator 27 2 7 or above put WindowsHypervisorPlatform   on into C  Users your-username  android advancedFeatures ini or start emulator or command line with -feature WindowsHypervisorPlatform enable IOMMU in your BIOS settings   Long version with more details   https   blogs msdn microsoft com visualstudio 2018 05 08 hyper-v-android-emulator-support   Requirements docs   https   docs microsoft com en-us windows-server virtualization hyper-v system-requirements-for-hyper-v-on-windows

While creating a Virtual Device select the ARM system Image  Others have suggested to install HAXM  but the truth is haxm wont work on amd platform or even if it does as android studio does not supports amd-vt on windows the end result will still be a very very slow emulator to run and operate  My recommendation would be to either use alternative emulator like Genymotion  works like a charm with Gapps installed  or switch to linux as then you will get the benefit of amd-vt and emulator will run a lot faster

I waste too much time on this  and none of the previous answers work  I find that Avast is the issue    If you have Avast installed in your system  you have to      Go to settings tab --  troubleshooting  then you should UNCHECK the    enable hardware-assisted virtualization    Restart your PC and install the intelhaxm-android exe if it is not installed  You can find it in C  Users  YOUR USERNAME  AppData Local Android sdk extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager

I was facing this issue running the emulator inside Oracle VirtualBox  For me the solution was to modify the emulator to use an ARM CPU instead of x86

Make sure you have installed HAXM installer on your SDK Manager     After you download it and make sure you run the setup located in   SDK FOLDER  extras intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager intelhaxm exe  Note  in Android Studio  the command  intelhaxm exe  has been changed to  intelhaxm-android exe   If you get the error  VT not supported  during the installation disable Hyper-V on windows features  You can execute this command dism exe  Online  Disable-Feature Microsoft-Hyper-V  You will also need  Virtualization Technology  to be enabled on your BIOS

First of all you should have Virtualization Enabled and you can do it from BIOS setting   After that go to Control Panel Programs and Click on  Turn Windows features on or off  option    You will now have a pop up window  spot  Windows Hypervisor Platform  and enable it by checking the check box    Restart your PC and now AVD should work without any issue

In my case  HAXM was already installed in SDK Manager   But every time I attempted to intelhaxm-android exe  it would silently fail   Finally  I extracted the internal installers out of intelhaxm-android exe in 7-zip   Copied the three files to another directory and finally got a real installer to run   Ran without a hitch and HAXM issues were gone

User · Answer

Open SDK Manager and download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator  HAXM installer  if you haven t  Now go to your SDK directory  C  users username AppData Local Android sdk  generally   In this directory  go to extras   Intel   Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager and run the file named  intelhaxm-android exe       In case you get an error like  Intel virtualization technology    vt vt-x  is not enabled   go to your BIOS settings and enable   hardware virtualization   Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again    It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window

For AMD processors   You don t need Genymotion  just create a new Virtual Device and while selecting the system Image select the ABI as armeabi instead of the default x86 one
