Your question is logical, but the answer is NO. You can't just create image of system and hope to get success in running the other emulator with that image. I have tried it earlier, not only on emulator but also on devices. I have successfully created an image of the mobile, but when running the other device/emulator, it fails. After digging a lot I understood that upper layer framework is same, or may change, but the lower level libraries, .so files are different and are not platform compatible.
