    If you want some settings for other devices check this: http://blog.blundell-apps.com/emulator-settings-for-each-android-density/ – Blundell Jun 08 '12 at 12:57
  • @Netverse - I am trying to use the Galaxy S2 skin, does your avd display the contents at the same size as on the device? I can't get this to work on the S2 skin. – Neil Sep 12 '12 at 16:42
  • @Neil Yes with the avd I have created (above config), it exactly displays the content at the same size as that on device. – Netverse Sep 23 '12 at 03:29
  • As for screen size, set it to 720 x 1280, instead of WXGA720 – Andrés Pachon Nov 08 '12 at 18:59
  • The max VM heap size has been extracted from an actual device or just guessing? I am having OutOfMemory problems on SGS3 without reaching 48 Mbytes by far on emulator (maximum peak less than 42Mb). And the abstracted LCD density is the one that is used by the actual device? The real density seems to be about 306 or so... – Fran Marzoa Nov 18 '12 at 13:13

I had to set the device ram to 512 in emulator. Above configs were the best possible match I could get after comparing with the real Galaxy S3 device.

    Samsung Galaxy S3 has 1024MB RAM see specification http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III_id6330, any specific reason why you have set it to 512 in emulator. – Gaurav Agarwal Oct 25 '12 at 10:08

    Yes, I know actual device has 1 GB ram. However on my system setting 1 gb ram for emulator, was crashing it. – Netverse Dec 12 '12 at 19:41

    the s3 has 2gb of ram, my mom has one and we used a app that measures the amount of ram in the device. – raven myers Jul 01 '13 at 16:40
  • @ravenmyers The S3 has 1GB of physical memory. The 2GB your app measured was probably [virtual memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory). – WildlyInaccurate Jul 03 '13 at 13:40

It work for me with 768MB RAM. On Windows, emulating RAM greater than 768MB may fail depending on the system load.
