Im New to Android Studio Guys and following a tutorial in YouTube for developing Android Apps. I Have Installed the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) but when launching the AVD It Says the HAXM is not installed... For the matter im using a AMD Processor..

Installed HAXM

  • Have you tried restarting Android Studio or your PC after the installation? – Fabio Picchi May 30 '16 at 16:21
  • Just to be sure, have you tried manually install **intelhaxm-android.exe**? It's in your sdk folder **extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager**. – PiKos May 30 '16 at 16:32
  • Yea when i tried it showed this: http://imgur.com/DrHjyXK It Maybe Because Im Using a AMD Procesor and not an Intel One? – Sri Vathsan May 31 '16 at 06:58

The VT-x technology as well as the HAXM are unique to Intel processors. In the case of AMD processors, AMD-V is the counterpart in the virtualization tech front. Installation of HAXM in an AMD processor will not have any impact and hence the error "your cpu doesn't support vt-x or svm".

Reference link: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/emulator

As stated in the link above

For best performance with Android Emulator 2.0, your system should meet the following specifications: Windows: Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality. AMD and Intel Atom processors do not support VT-x virtual machine acceleration. Linux: Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality or AMD processors with support for AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) 64-bit Operating Systems.

I would suggest to use an ARM image for the emulator instead of an Intel image. This would not require the use of HAXM nor VT-x.

with AMD and V enabled you only need to do one more thing..

that is you have to install the KVM extension for your particular kernel.

see this blog for details
