I am using Eclipse 4.4 and for some reason whenever I try to start an emulator I get the following errors:

Starting emulator for AVD 'doridX'
emulator: Failed to open the HAX device!
HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode
emulator: Open HAX device failed

Does anyone know what causes this and how I can fix it? I have currently tried:

  • Deleting the virtual device and recreating it.
  • Closing Eclipse and restarting the programme.
  • Closing all open emulators and try launching it again.
  • Uninstalling all packages related that were installed on Eclipse and reinstalling them.

The settings for my AVD are:

  • AVD name: droidX
  • Device: Nexus 5 (4.95", 1080 x 1920: xxhdpi)
  • Target: Android 4.4.2 - API Level 19
  • CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86)
  • Keyboard: Hardware keyboard present
  • Skin: No skin
  • Front Camera: None
  • Back Camera: None
  • Memory Options: RAM: 768 VM Heap: 64
  • Internal Storage: 50 MiB
  • SD Card: 50 MiB
  • Emulation Options: None

  • HAX? Is that something similar to Intel HAXM? – schneiti Aug 15 '14 at 08:20
  • @schneiti I'm not sure to be honest, I've just created an AVD with the options listed and tried to run it, I haven't come across HAXM before although I am aware as to what it is. – James Aug 15 '14 at 08:22
  • alright, I was just confused to read HAX without the M. This might be off-topic, but as soon as I installed the Android IDE, I installed HAXM as well. Without that accelleration, developement is impossible! I just got one more question: You wrote you are using `Eclipse 4.4`, so I guess this is standard Eclipse with Android plugins? Have you tried using Eclipse ADT version and whether the emulator is running there? Cause Eclipse is known to cause Trouble [see here](http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html). That can be obtained from [here](http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) – schneiti Aug 15 '14 at 11:51

Try this :

Running the new Intel emulator for Android

or

Failed to open the HAX device! HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode emulator

And let us know which, if any, worked.
