I use 1024 MB per device and 2048 for HAXM.Īlways double-check the settings after saving! The emulator is very picky about what it allows you to set, and it will revert configurations without telling you. Set the device memory to 1024 MB or more, but not more than the Intel HAXM setting.
Ensure that GPU emulation is set to "yes". You cannot use the Snapshot option when using GPU emulation as of this writing. HAX is not working and the emulator runs in emulation mode emulator: HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virtual mode If HAXM is working properly, you may see this message when launching the emulator:
See the description for how to do this in Enabling Intel VT (Virtualization Technology). If the installer fails with the message that Intel VT must be turned on, you need to enable this in the BIOS. It will be located in one of the following locations:įiles\Android\android-sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_ManagerĬ:\Users\\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager Install the HAXM Driver by running "IntelHaxm.exe".
To take advantage of HAXM, you must be on at least release version 17. To do this, launch the Android SDK Manager and update all the Android SDK components. Make sure your Eclipse installation and the ADT plug-in are fully up-to-date.Īfter each Eclipse plug-in update, it is important to update your Android SDK Tools. Steps for Configuring Your Android Development Environment for HAXM The interface between QEMU and the HAXM driver on the host system is designed to be vendor-agnostic. HAXM stands for - "Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager"Ĭurrently, it supports only Intel® VT (Intel Virtualization Technology). IMPORTANT NOTE: Please first refer to the Intel list about VT to make sure your CPU supports Intel VT.
