copied!<p>Intel released <a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-atom-x86-image-for-android-ice-cream-sandwich-installation-instructions-recommended/" rel="noreferrer">recommended installation instructions for the ICS emulator</a> on May 15, 2012. This worked for me. The emulator is now fast and the UI is smooth.</p> <p>The first half of the instructions are detailed enough, so I will assume you were able to install the Intel x86 Atom System Image(s) using the Android SDK manager, as well as Intel HAXM.</p> <p>Now to ensure that everything else is set up so you can enjoy a highly performing emulator:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/" rel="noreferrer">Install Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM)</a></li> </ul> <p>And start it:</p> <pre><code>sudo kextload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm (mac) </code></pre> <p>If HAXM is working properly, you may see this message when launching the emulator:</p> <blockquote> <p>HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode</p> </blockquote> <p>Otherwise you may see this error:</p> <blockquote> <p>HAX is not working and the emulator runs in emulation mode emulator: <br/> Failed to open the hax module</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><p><strong>Use GPU emulation.</strong> You cannot use the Snapshot option when using GPU emulation as of this writing. Ensure that GPU emulation is set to "yes".</p></li> <li><p><strong>Set the device memory to 1024 MB or more</strong>, but not more than the Intel HAXM setting. I use 1024 MB per device and 2048 for HAXM.</p></li> </ul> <p><strong>Always double-check the settings after saving!</strong> The emulator is very picky about what it allows you to set, and it will revert configurations without telling you.</p> <p>With these settings the software keyboard no longer appears, nor do the on-screen back, menu, and recent keys. This appears to be a limitation of the current ICS Intel x86 system image. You will need to use <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#KeyMapping" rel="noreferrer">the keyboard shortcuts</a>.</p> <p>On Mac OS you will need to hold <kbd>fn</kbd> + <kbd>control</kbd> for the <kbd>F1</kbd> - <kbd>F12</kbd> keys to work. Page up/down/left/right can be performed using control + arrow keys.</p>
