INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT error when installing stock ICS Launcher on Samsung Galaxy S3

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've built the stock AOSP ICS Launcher2 app. I then tried to install the apk via "adb install" but I get an "INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT" error when I do that. The device logcat is as follows:

D/AndroidRuntime( 5431): 
D/AndroidRuntime( 5431): >>>>>> AndroidRuntime START com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit <<<<<<

W/PackageManager( 2093): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.android.launcher-1.apk

What could I have done wrong?

Thanks.

You need to increase the Android emulator's memory capacity, there are 2 ways for that:

1- Right click the root of your Android Project, go to "Run As" then go to "Run Configurations..." locate the "Android Application" node in the tree at the left, then select your project and go to the "Target" tab on the right side of the window look down for the "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" field (sometimes you'll need to make the window larger) and finally paste "-partition-size 1024" there. Click Apply and then Run to use your emulator.

2- Go to Eclipse's Preferences, then Select “Launch” Add “-partition-size 1024” on the “Default emulator option” field, then click “Apply” and use your emulator as usual.
