I'm having problems with the Emulator on Android Studio.
First of all, when I'm trying to execute my app with the Android Studio emulator, appears me the following log:
emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware
acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and
usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
Ok, searching I found that I have to install
intelhaxm-android.exe
So I did it, but appers me a pop-up saying that my computer does not support Intel Virtualization technology.
Ok, searching I found that this is an option of my BIOS, but my BIOS does not support it.
So, may I give up? I do not know what else to do
Intel virtualization works only on supported Intel processors. There is currently no such thing for AMD processors. But there's an amazing alternative! A couple of years ago, AMD partnered with a software startup to create a blazing fast emulator called Bluestacks. I previously used a machine with an AMD processor, and Bluestacks worked like magic on it!
Just install bluestacks on your PC. When you fire it up, it will show up as a mobile device in your IDE's list of supported devices. It runs as fast as real phone!
Ok, sorry I haven't seen your answer. Ok it worked, but it seems that is possible to run a "software" emulator for AMD processors. But Bluestacks worked perfectly. Thanks!

So umm I recently having problem with running emulator so I tried to install Intel HAXM. But it failed because my CPU is not Intel's...
Is there no way to run emulator unless I change my CPU???
Actually I am using my smartphone device connected instead of emulator. Is there no difference between using emulator and real smartphone device??
As I mentioned above, I can't install HAXM.. Can it make or imply the problem during running Android Studio or coding/ making app???
HAXM can only be used with Intel CPUs.
Looking at the documentation the path is clear:
Though we recommend using HAXM on Windows, it is possible to use Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) with the emulator. You should use WHPX with the emulator if you are using an AMD CPU or if you need to use Hyper-V at the same time.
Note: AFAIK WHPX requires Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise or Education. Therfeore with a Windows 10 Home you will not be able to run a hardware accelerated Android emulator.
Of course you can still run Android ARM and x86 emulator images, but not with hardware acceleration. Therefore the emulator will behave much slower.
Intel HAXM refuses to launch with my emulator. I think I've tried everything for the past two days and I can't figure it out.
These are the errors in Android Studio.
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires
hardware acceleration!
Emulator: CPU acceleration status: Unable to open HAXM device:
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Emulator: Process finished with exit code 1
Here's the list of things I've done to fix it:
Enabled virtualization in BIOS, set Hyper V off, made sure antivirus isn't a problem, my processor supports virtualizations and everything needed for haxm to work, tried different emulators, different apis - didn't work.
I tried installing different haxm versions, it didn't solve it either.
Installed the latest version, 7.3, didn't work.
processor, error code,already installed haxm
UPDATE:

Issue is still not fixed but i found a smart workaround it. I'm using NOX emulator to debug the app. Nox loads the app within seconds. Just figured i'd post this if anyone is stuck here.

Android Studio emulator and AMD CPU

Closed 7 years ago.
I believe this is my first question - as such I apologize if I'm making mistakes or if this is posted incorrectly.
I am attempting to run Android Studio on Windows 8.1.
Android Studio works but I was unable to run my first test app due to an error with HAXM not being installed.
Error in Android Studio when 'Run' is clicked:
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!
Through the SDK Manager I 'installed' HAXM.
I understand that this only means HAXM is downloaded and still needs to be installed. HAXM files were placed into the 'extras' folder within the 'Android' 'sdk' folder. I then attempted to run the intelhaxm-android.exe executable. Initially I had to enter BIOS and enable Virtualization as it was defaulted to 'disabled'. I enabled the virtualization, rebooted twice and attempted to run the haxm installer again.
Now I am receiving a different error.
Error from HAXM Installer:
This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed.Pleaser refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information.
From everything that I can find this computer is capable of supporting Virtualization (I am running Windows 8.1 with an AMD processor). Also, as I understand, an Intel vs AMD processor shouldn't make a difference for HAXM to operate??
I downloaded Crystal CPUID to help troubleshoot but, unfortunately, I don't even know how to read the results.
I'm at a complete loss here. I searched far and wide before posting. ANY help is appreciated.
You need to enable Intel Virtualization Technology through your Bios
I know there are questions similar to mine, but since I definitely am a newcomer to Android development, I want to keep my question separate. I'm still also a newcomer to StackOverflow.
I want to learn Android programming as I go through my first co-op term, but there's a problem: I can't install Intel HAXM on my laptop because I get a popup message saying the same thing as the first dialog shown in this StackOverflow question similar to this one: Error trying to install HAXM - Intel VT-x turned off
My laptop, however, does support Intel VT-x, and from what I can see on the Intel Processor Identification Utility (it's older than 6 months at the time of this write up), the Intel Virtualization Technology is active (it says "Yes") and so is Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables. I think I do have HAXM installed already, but I could be wrong.
The laptop is an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15" Notebook PC running on eight Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPUs with the ability to safely reach 2.4 GHz and the ability to be overclocked at 3.1 GHz from the power settings. I'm using the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1.
Without Intel HAXM, I can only run an Android virtual device (so far on API Level 22) using the armeabi-v7a ABI instead of the x86 ABI.
First, you have a fast laptop. haha
By default, Intel Virtualization is off.
turn off laptop, press F10 then press power button. in the tab two or three, you will find the Virtualization setting. just trun on, save and exit bios. restart laptop.
If you are using windows 8. The task manager will tell you current status of Virtualization Technology is on or off.
By the way, you had better have a try of genymotion. you will love it.
I'm a newbie to Android Application development, just started off by downloading Android Studio along with JDK-7 and also installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM) through SDK manager.
Now when I try to launch Emulator, I get this error:
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!
I tried these steps from a similar post, but when I try to run the setup located at: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
I get this exception:
and when I checked my processor config, I found that it doesn't support Virtualization technology,
Now my question is, is it possible to use a pc without Virtualization technology feature for Android App Development(Including Emulator)?
As the name implies, it is an Emulator Accelerator. You can still use the Emulator, its just going to be a bit slower running without HAXM.
In my experience, it is OK to use the normal emulator for infrequent debugging but it is too slow, even with HAXM, for serious development, which should be carried out on an actual device.
If you have to use an emulator, I'd go with GenyMotion.
San', you could try using a super fast and popular emulator known as "GenyMotion". It is for free :). Also, I ran into the VT error myself before when I first installed Android Studio on my new laptop and I was able to successfully resolve it by configuring my BIOS options a bit. It's easy, I can point you to the direction that I took if you want me to.
