Android Emulator flickering

Question

I've set up a Nexus 5X in Android Studio running Android Q:

When I launch it, there is always a huge flicker (see https://streamable.com/wdpf0).

I'm running on Arch Linux on an Intel Core i7-6500U. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

1. In windows go to:
   C:\Users\'your username'\.android\avd\"Device Name".avd
2. Open config.ini in text editor.
3. change below lines as shown.

hw.gpu.enabled = no
hw.gpu.mode = off

If the problem persist or emulator crash, detach emulator from Tool Window.

1. File -> Settings -> Tools -> Emulator UnTick 'Launch in a ToolWindow'
