Question

I'm trying to run the Android emulator with the ICS (Android 4.0) OS but after a 15 minute wait on a fast quad core machine, it's still not doing anything. I understand it's emulating the arm cpu, hence it's slow - but this hasn't even gotten off the loading screen yet! Has anyone managed to get it to run? Any tips?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try launching without the Launch from snapshot feature

Launching some of my AVD's from command line with

./emulator -avd ...

Gives

savevm: unable to load section cpu

that may or may not be related to the problem(?), but basically launching without the snapshot starts up the emulator.

This happened after I upgraded to Android SDK to 4.0

OTHER TIPS

My solution is the starting Emulator manually but with Target 2.2., let's say with API level 8, then your project will be easily loaded on Emulator.

I made sure to turn off "Load from Snapshot". And mine will still not load. I am going on about an 1 hour now and still sitting

In my case, I succeeded to get ICS emulator by executing $ emulator-arm -avd your_avd_name whereas launching from eclipse (i.e. going through emulator.exe instead of emulator-arm.exe) fails consistently.
