I'm trying to use Genymotion with Android Studio so that I can test an app, but whenever I try to launch the emulator it says "Android is starting... Optimizing app [#] of 74" and it optimizes for a while. Eventually it stops optimizing, but then it is just a black screen and says "android." Then after a minute or two it goes back to optimizing. How do I get it so that I can actually use the emulator?
Please refer to Genymotion Desktop user guide. Virtual Device Android version and display density have a huge impact on performance. If Genymotion Desktop is too slow on your computer, try a virtual device with a lower Android version and 320-XHDPI density. See What are Genymotion Desktop requirements? for more details.
"Genymotion is the best Android emulator ever. Everything is in one place, it works fast, and the support service is really good. It really simplified our work.". "Here at Badoo we are using the excellent emulator Genymotion to speed up our Android development and automated tests.
Plug the power cord in and set your power settings to Performance, High or Game mode when using Genymotion Desktop. Genymotion Desktop uses virtualization and intensive OpenGL, therefore we do not recommend running on battery, or it will drain it. Some laptops have a discrete GPU (NVidia/AMD) combined with an integrated GPU (Intel).
Develop with confidence! Genymotion Virtual Devices are equipped with a large choice of widgets and sensors that can be manipulated to simulate any real life situation or scenario: location, SMS & calls, network & baseband, etc. Never fail because of approximations!
Going into my BIOS and enabling Intel Virtualization Technology
under the CPU Options, and then going into GenyMotion
and changing the device's # of virtual processors fixed this issue.
