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 ?
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:
Although this is the available solution but still a slow one !!
