Menu
I'm trying to make an Android 4.0 emulator. I've tried this process on a fairly fast computer in both Linux and Windows(Phenom II X6 w/ 8G of RAM) and every time I get "unfortunately, launcher has stopped" when I try to look at the menu of the launcher.
I have tried having the RAM size all the way up to 1024M, but nothing seems to help it. Is this just a borked emulator or what?

To avoid crashes and hangs caused by not having enough free disk space, the emulator checks for sufficient free disk space on startup, and will not start unless at least 2 GB is free. If the emulator fails to start for you, check to see that you have adequate free disk space.
In AVD manager open settings for your virtual device. In the Emulated Performance section open the dropdown for Graphics . Change it from Automatic to Software . Hit the Finish button to save new setting and try starting the emulator again.
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
Select the SDK Tools tab and down the list make sure Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is checked. If not, check the box, click Apply and install and restart Android Studio. If it still doesn't work, sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling it again helps.
I have experienced this same problem, several times. All I did was changed the RAM size to 512, and heap to 32. Rest all good...
@racs here suggested that changing the emulator skin in the AVD manager might also help. Give it a try...
Check if this helps.
