I Want to learn android programming, I have a laptop x64 with Linux Mint OS and I've installed Eclipse Indigo and the ADK, but the emulator is very, very, VERY slow. There's an option in windows but it doesn't suppport Linux. I need help from some Linux and Android lover that suggest me some ideas of their tools, some links, books or anything, please. Thank you !.

My Hardware doesn't support hardware acceleration (Pentium x64).

    emulator has always been and probably always will be very slow, use a real device – tyczj Jun 09 '14 at 13:43
  • The only part of this that is an appropriate question under current policies here is the emulator issue, and that has been covered here extensively already. – Chris Stratton Jun 09 '14 at 14:04

If your computer has an Intel x86 chip, HAXM is supported on Ubuntu:

You can also make use of 'Snapshots', on any platform to speedup emulator startup.

If you are really looking for a book suggestion, I did write a book with a few chapters all about the emulator (but really, just search HAXM or Snapshots, and save your money ;-) )- http://www.amazon.com/Android-Developer-Tools-Essentials-Zipalign/dp/1449328210 )
