Slow Android emulator
Is there any fast and more efficient android emulator is available? I'm sick of android default emulator. Thanks
UPDATE 2: Genymotionis great too, since BlueStack App Player now forces you to install some apps to continue using free version. I tried Genymotion and quite happy with speed for App development, haven't tried gaming yet. Happy coding :)
UPDATE: BlueStack App Player is the best and your world will be much easier. I recommend every one to download and test it now. You will thank me later :). To use it with eclipse just use this command in command prompt.
adb connect 127.0.0.1
and after that you can launch apk on your faster and awesome emulator directly from your eclipse. Works on Windows and MAC.

Other Android Emulator Options AMIDuOS – Easy to switch between Windows and Android environments, no dual boot. Remix OS Player – Free Android OS with basic Android features for Mac and Windows users. Leapdroid – Fast Android O emulation for Windows that is free to use.
As a graphics/game developer, I find Genymotion unparalleled for running OpenGL code - on Genymotion it runs much smoother framerate wise, than using an x86+HAXM+HW GPU android emulator. Also, the integration of Google Apps/Services in Genymotion is fantastic.
An Android Virtual Device (AVD) is an emulator configuration that lets you model an actual device by defining hardware and software options to be emulated by the Android Emulator. The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator — a virtual mobile device that runs on your computer.
In general there are three ways to bypass an emulator check: Modify the app and remove the emulator check. Modify the emulator so that it pretends to be a real device. Modify the system calls the app does for detecting it is running on an emulator.

You can speed up emulator by using hardware acceleration feature.
In order to make the Android emulator run faster and be more responsive, you can configure it to take advantage of hardware acceleration, using a combination of configuration options, specific Android system images and hardware drivers.
To use Virtual Machine Acceleration you need,
and to configure graphics acceleration, you need
See the android documentation - Using Hardware Acceleration - for instructions on how to configure your system.
