Android Emulator with HAXM freezes on Mac OS Yosemite

Question

Has anyone else faced an issue after updrading Mac OS X to 10.10 ? Android Emulator without HAXM runs now very very slow and the one with HAXM enabled freezes after couple second of iteration with some app? Also, CPU goes mad until I kill an emulator instance...

Any help or advice would be very appreciated, Im struggling with this whole day already. Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to use Intel hotfix for the Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. If you have installed HAXM on your system you should install the Hotfix.

Download of the hotfix from the HAXM download page: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager

I've got Yosemite running in a Mac Mini Late 2012 with 16GB RAM and Intel HAXM installed, also latest sdk version and it freezes :-(
