This worked for me ; My Emulator runs on 4.2.2 Platform 1. Download and install the intel X86 Emulator Accelerator (Haxim) from the extras of the SDK manager (You might be required to to enable virtualisation on your Bios setting if it is not.) . 2. Select an AVD of low dimesnsion say 3.2" . 3 . Select an Android API instead of google API target\ . (Google API defaults to Ameabi-v7a CPU but you need an intel Atom x86 . 4 Select reasonable memory and internal storage . 5 Check the "Use host GPU" from your AVD . 6 while running your android application add "-gpu on" in the additional command line option command . "HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode"...This shows on your console at runtime
(My Emulator became faster than my PC)
