Intel x86 emulator accelerator incompatible with Linux

Question

I want to use the intel x86 emulator accelerator for better performance since another emulator dies at boot time due to the low configuration of the machine. I am using Linux Mint 32 bit. Is there any way to enable it and use it.

Here is a screenshot of the problem:

Answer 1

On Linux, you cannot use this extension, but you can run Intel avd images using qemu and KVM. You will notice a completely different emulator experience - compared to ARM emulation.

So basically you need to run emulator -avd <avd_name> -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm in the shell. More details here: http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#vm-linux

Please note that your processor must support some virtualization technologies. Read more about installing kvm here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation

Answer 2

There is an alternative to a fast emulator called Genymotion for Android, which works on all platforms, including Linux, Mac OS and Windows. It also supports full emulation of mobile devices, for example, you can download the Xperia Z image file and test your application on this virtual machine. You also need to install Virtualbox on your computer.

enjoy.
