Its super fast too, but its very heavy! Genymotion is much lighter!Д®dit2: some weird error I faced using this emulator. Run your app in genymotion emulator! Note: it will appear as вЂњUSB DeviceвЂќ and NOT as emulator!.Select in IntelliJ/Android Studio the genymotion icon, and the select the path of the Application.Download from genymotionвЂ™s cloud an image (eg nexus7 w/o gapps) Install the plugin (Preferences/Plugins/Install from disc) Download the IntelliJ Idea/Android studio plugin, and the Application (works for Linux/Mac/Windows).Its very fast, and way lighter than the other simulators*!

You can still build/install your app from Eclipse as normal using ADT/abd

The bounty is still open incase anyone comes up with something better.Д«ut so far, the only solution IвЂ™ve found for testing android on Mac OSX is to use a VM. It considerably accelerates the development on Android, it is just a shame that it doesnвЂ™t works like this out of the box. The VM will boot up in just a few seconds anyway. When you create a new AVD to use this latest system image and enable the GPU support on it (at the moment the snapshot support are not compatible with GPU but it still worths it. Now it is possible to run the emulator at native speeds on a Mac but there is some work to do by hand.ДЇirst you need the latest SDK Tools rev.19+ and Platform tools rev.11+, the Android x86 Atom System Image for 4.0.3 to 4.4 and the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAX) all this from the Android SDK Manager.ДЄfter this you need to install HAX, unfortunately the SDK Manager downloads an outdated version. On the latest version of the Android SDK there is support for x86 and native execution.

IвЂ™m using a Macbook Pro 2010 on Mac OS X Lion. I placed in more вЂRAMвЂ™ into the virtual device but nothing changes. First of all, yes I know thereвЂ™s a lot of topics similar to this issue, I did use the search function on stack overflow.Д«ut most of the issue that were brought up seems to about long boot times.ДЇor me, the emulator is so slow, simply sliding from one home screen to another is like watching a slideshow.
