With the right architecture (x86, fast virtualization options on, Intel tools installed) GenyMotion is not faster than the current Android emulator so there's no advantage there. On top of that, with the 2.0 emulator, deploy speeds are much faster.
Personally I loved Genymotion and used it for all my emulator testing (although the vast majority of my testing was done on a real device). But with Android 2+, it's the opposite: 99% of my testing is done on the default emulator (the rest is using a device). It's that good.
- asimuvPR 11y agoThank you for that feedback. I have been using Genymotion and its been a good tool to work with (no complaints). But being able to use the built-in emulator is simpler and easier when setting up other devs. :)
- nimrody 11y agoWith Genymotion you can run multiple emulators on a single machine. The Intel tools you mention (Intel HAXM for fast virtualisation) seems to work only for a single instance. The second instance does not benefit from fast virtualisation and is painfully slow. Don't know whether this problem has been addressed by this 2.0 release.
- whatever_dude 11y agoA valid point. Haven't used it for bulk (automated?) testing, as I personally never find myself running more than once instance at a time while debugging.
