What system takes 55 seconds to boot an Android Virtual Device?
I get to the home screen with everything loaded in about 18 seconds. I'm on a fairly new system with decent processor and memory to spare, but even on my old single processor 4GB laptop I get the emulator launched in about 35 seconds.
- calloc 15y agoAn core i5 with 8 GB of ram and a 7200 RPM 500 GB hard drive. Actually, it is closer to 70 seconds. Then the lag while attempting to use it is unbearable, it stutters, input is completely ignored, or it crashes randomly when we try to replicate that bug on an actual device we can't.
- imperialWicket 15y agoWow. What OS?
- calloc 15y agoWindows 7.
- Roritharr 15y agoWhat kind of Android? 3.1? the 2.3 emulators are much better than the honeycomb ones.
- nextparadigms 15y agoHoneycomb emulator is slower because of the 1280x800 resolution. Google mentioned at I/O that it seems the emulator lags from the lack of hardware acceleration, and they said it would come by end of the year I think. I wonder if it's ready for 4.0. It should be.
- av500 15y agoHoneycomb emulator is also much slower because more parts of the UI use 3d acceleration which the emulator has to, well, emulate in SW
