Description:

When I start developing Android Studio, I have a problem to run emulator which said I need to ensure HAXM module installed. But I cannot install HAXM module on my pc, because install file said my CPU isn't adequate with these module to install. I have a cpu model i3-2120, which have a support for VT-x and I enabled this feature in BIOS, but it doesn't affect the fact which I cannot install HAXM on my machine.

Questions:

  • If VT-x is all about requirement to install HAXM, why i cannot install HAXM?

  • What CPU model is adequate to install HAXM? (I think VT-x doesn't sufficient to install HAXM. there's more requirements..)

Intel HAXM requires 4 things:

  1. Intel processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality. All these functionality are required on your processor.
  2. 1 GB available RAM
  3. Android SDK version 17 or higher
  4. Windows Vista/7/8 (https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows)

It appears that i3-2120 does have VT-x, Intel 64 and Execute Disable Bit, so technically your processor is supported. (http://ark.intel.com/products/53426/Intel-Core-i3-2120-Processor-3M-Cache-3_30-GHz)

Please check your available RAM, by going to Windows Task Manager > Performance > Physical Memory > Available. Is it > 1 GB?

Also, update your Android SDK to the latest version by running SDK Manager.

Let us know how it goes!

  • Note FYI -- it also works on a Mac if it's an Intel based one. – Andrew Quebe Mar 29 '15 at 06:41
  • I checked that my RAM capacity is 4GB, and I don't know what is exactly Android SDK version, but from the list of SDK manager, Android SDK Tools Revision is 24.1.2, Platform-tools 22, Build-tools 22.0.1, etc..(I install packages recently, revision of SDK manager is 24.1.2), still I cannot install HXAM.. – Hardberry Mar 29 '15 at 08:12
  • Did you check that Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS settings? There's usually a BIOS option for Virtualization that you have to set explicitly to "Enabled". – gkoromia Mar 31 '15 at 15:10
  • Yeap, I did "Virtualization" enabled in BIOS settings, but situation still remaines in same error while I developed in my own real device, that is unconfortable,, – Hardberry Apr 12 '15 at 16:01
