I get 'hax is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode', is this related to intel x86 emulator accelerator (haxm) installation and running avd with cpu set to cpu intel atom (x86)? and even though it feels like avd runs faster after i installed haxm, does this message indicates that avd performance is hindered. emulator: avd ram size = 1024 mb emulator: haxm max ram size = 978 mb emulator: you might want to adjust your avd ram size and or haxm configuration to run in fast virt. Emulator: device fd:17820 haxm is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode emulator: the memory needed by this avd exceeds the max specified in your haxm configuration.
