I'm trying to make an Android 4.0 emulator. I've tried this process on a fairly fast computer in both Linux and Windows(Phenom II X6 w/ 8G of RAM) and every time I get "unfortunately, launcher has stopped" when I try to look at the menu of the launcher.

enter image description here

I have tried having the RAM size all the way up to 1024M, but nothing seems to help it. Is this just a borked emulator or what?

I have experienced this same problem, several times. All I did was changed the RAM size to 512, and heap to 32. Rest all good...

@racs here suggested that changing the emulator skin in the AVD manager might also help. Give it a try...

Check if this helps.
