I am trying to run an Android emulator inside a virtual machine and would like to use KVM's nested support to speed up the emulator.

I run the emulator with emulator64-x86 -avd test -qemu -m 1024 -enable-kvm and I've made sure KVM nested support is available on both host and guest: cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested is "Y"

Still the emulator is slow, is there something I'm missing or a log file I can consult to see if nested support is in fact used at all?

  • I'm running into the same problem, did you find a solution already? – C-Otto Jul 16 '14 at 12:56
  • @C-Otto not yet, still looking for a solution, have you come up with a solution? – Jochen Oct 24 '14 at 14:47
  • Not really, I decided to let this run on bare metal instead. – C-Otto Oct 27 '14 at 09:46

    If you use Genymotion http://www.genymotion.com/ that problem will go away. – Juampa Oct 30 '14 at 06:29
  • You must provide an x86-based AVD configuration name, otherwise VM acceleration will not be enabled. Also genymotion.com is another good choice. – skyfishjy Oct 31 '14 at 13:05
  • Ofcourse I already provided an x86 based AVD config, otherwise emulator64-x86 would not work in the first place. I'm not looking for a paid solution like genymotion though. – Jochen Nov 07 '14 at 10:19
