How can I run Android emulator for Intel x86 Atom without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 for API 21 and 19

Questions

I have not enabled Hyper V or hardware acceleration and don t want to either.

Is there any way that I can start android emulator for Intel x86 Atom Without hardware acceleration on Windows 8

I have created AVDs with every combination possible and each one has failed to start the AVD emulator instance , throwing the same error when starting

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

OR is it that, the images given for Intel Atom 86 and 64 cannot run without HARDWARE ACCELERATION AND hyper V for API 21 and 19

I have found lots of similar question and read almost all documentation, but it is not clear if they can or cannot run without hyper v and hardware acceleration, hence this direct question

How do you test on android in such cases ?

Answers

In current AVD manager you can t. You just have the opportunity to use ARM images which will not need hardware virtualization.

To run ARM images:

• Open AVD manager.
• Create a new Virtual Device OR right click an existing image and select Duplicate
• Choose arm* instead of x86/x64.
• Continue with the wizard.
• Run!

Although this is the available solution but still a slow one !!
