Most Android developers I talk to develop on actual hardware, but sometimes you need the emulator, and when you are using it you need it to run faster. This means the iOS Simulator is typically faster than actual hardware, and the Android Emulator is slower than actual hardware. The main reason is because it is emulating the ARM CPU & GPU, unlike the iOS Simulator, which runs x86 code instead of the ARM code that runs on the actual hardware. Workstation from version 7 onwards should not have any problems coexisting with foreign hypervisors.The Android Emulator is very slow. I'm not sure what version of VmWare is installed, I can check it tomorrow if it makes sense. VmWare WS is installed there too, but didn't run.
Error message differs depending on whther I run Android emulator as a regular (unprivileged) user or as administrator. HAXM installed w/o problems, but Android emulator fails to use it. I also tried my customer's machine i5-3570K. Though technically not supported in Fusion 4, virtualized VT-x can be enabled by adding the following configuration option to your. This is probably because you haven't enabled virtualized VT-x for your Windows XP guest.
Tried to install HAXM under Fusion 4.1 running XP xp3 圆4 (guest OS), host: my own MacBook Air 2012, i5-3427U, Mac OSX 10.7.5.įailed with '.does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)' At least VmWare if they have already started working with Intel on this issue will resolve the conflict between HAXM and VmWare WS. Although it's not exactly their business, it's very close.
I think that VmWare can implement their own hw-assisted Atom emulation for Android platform. Both VmWare and HAXM are using VT and perhaps that's the problem. Hope I made it clearer a bit - there is a problem between VmWare and HAXM - both under Host and under Guest. Unfortunately this HAXM fails to work at all if VmWare is installed. There is Intel-developed product HAXM available among Android packages and this product is intended to do this hw assisted emulation. Seems that HARDWARE ACCELERATED emulation of Android OS for x86 Atom target platform can help running faster. The problem is that the emulation runs very very slow even under modern system based on Ivy-Bridge-III 3.9GHz 4core CPUs with plenty RAM. Well, seems you didn't get me right - you tell you ran Android emulator.
".Other VM Drivers - If you are running another virtualization technology on your system such as VirtualBox or VMWare, you may need to unload the driver for that virtual machine hosting software before running an accelerated emulator."Īnd it's not what I'd like to do each time I need to run Android emulatorįor record my Host platform is XP sp3, x32, DEP enabled.(STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)Īccording to Adroid instructions I have to unload VmWare driver: HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation modeĮmulator: Open the vm devcie error:\\.\hax_vm00, ec:2Īnd running under Administrator results in the error below:Įmulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentered Starting emulator for AVD 'My_Test_Android_x86_Atom' I don't need to run them at the same time.Ĭurrently with the latest HAXM (1.01) and Android x86 Atom image I get the following error (running under unprivileged used):
I'm also interested in finding solution on running HAXM on a host where VmWare is also installed.
