My Android emulator runs very slow on my Ubuntu machine. I need it to run faster, because some apps are slowed down so much, that they change their behaviour (they use the camera).
System specs:
-x86_64
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60 GHz
-20GB Ram
-512Gb HDD
I use Ubuntu 20.04 and Android Studio 4.1.1 (fresh installation). I use this AVD: Pixel2 1080 x 1920: 420dpi API 28 Android 9.0 (Google X86_ARM) CPU/ABI: x86
In the extended menu I chose Graphics: Hardware - GLES 2.0
. I also disabled GPS, audioInput and audioOutput
with no performance improvements. I did not try this , because selecting Hardware - GLES 2.0 worked for me and the avd started normally (but still very slow).
Other system images are equally slow though.
I tried:
sudo modprobe msr
sudo rdmsr 0x3A
and it returns 5
, so VT-X is enabled
Is the hardware the bottleneck, or is something configured wrongly? Maybe it is the HDD that slows the emulator down? I tried running the emulator on Windows and it's insanely fast. The windows machine is stronger though.
Update 11.12.2020: I also verified my KVM installation using this command:
./emulator -avd Pixel2Api28Arm -accel-check
It returned this:
28Arm -accel-check
accel:
0
KVM (version 12) is installed and usable
accel
So this does not seem to be an issue.
I was having the same problem (KVM working, but slow x64 emulator on x64 host), and found a solution here , which is to disable automatic snapshot creation.
Run your emulator, and click on the three dots (...) to open the settings:
In the settings, click "Snapshots":
Switch to the "Settings" section on top:
Set "Auto-save current state to Quickboot" to No:
It'll ask you to restart the emulator, click Yes:
