My mac details are:

enter image description here

Installed Mac Pro EFI Firmware and also Updated OSX as suggested here to enable virtualization(http://kb.parallels.com/en/5653)

Updated Android SDK Tools as suggested in following message:

HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. Your emulator is out of date, please update by launching Android Studio: - Start Android Studio - Select menu "Tools > Android > SDK Manager" - Click "SDK Tools" tab - Check "Android SDK Tools" checkbox - Click "OK"

But when I run 

emulator @Nexus_5X_API_23 -no-boot-anim -qemu

I still get this:

emulator: WARNING: Crash service did not start

Hax is enabled

Hax ram_size 0x60000000

HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode.

PS: I have already read this Android emulator is very very slow and How to enable support of CPU virtualization on Macbook Pro?

  • Are you sure your emulated system is in fact an Intel one? If you are emulating ARM-based Android you'll take aperformance hit. RAM usage may also have an impact (and the speed of the disk changes how large that impact is) – Paul Stelian May 20 '17 at 05:36
  • The emulator typically takes up 2GB of RAM for itself, so you are left with another 2GB. Not too nice, running a browser or something else that uses up a lot of memory will be a bad idea – Paul Stelian May 20 '17 at 05:37
  • @paul-stelian How to be sure ? – ishandutta2007 May 20 '17 at 05:59
  • So what do you suggest for 4GM Machine? I used to use GenyMotion when it used to be free it used to work perfectly fine on 4GB RAM. – ishandutta2007 May 20 '17 at 06:06
  • Perhaps configure your current emulator to give something like 1GB instead of 2? Or not running many other apps at the same time as the emulator (the browser is a particularly bad one to run) – Paul Stelian May 20 '17 at 06:43
  • removing the option `-qemu` speeded up the emulator quite a lot, not sure why, i was under the impression opposite should happen. – ishandutta2007 May 21 '17 at 01:45

    Oh I see I believe that actually is useful on Linux (where Qemu would use KVM for its acceleration), and on Macs simply uses an emulator. Nice! – Paul Stelian May 21 '17 at 06:12
