Android Needs A Simulator, Not An Emulator

The x86 images provided by Google run just as fast as the Genymotion images, and have Google Play. Just FYI.

Thanks for the suggestion. I spent an hour setting these up today - despite supposedly using x64, HAXE etc they're unusably slow. I have no idea what's wrong. The UI tools run at unacceptable latency (they're Java based) so I can't debug easily.

This is on a 2013 Haswell MBA with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Google may as well throw the official emulator away.

When you run the emulator, do you get this message (on stdout): "HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode"?

Did you enable the "Use host GPU" option?
