The Android SDK includes a virtual mobile device Emulator that runs on your computer. The emulator lets you prototype, develop and test Android applications without using a physical device.

The Android emulator is an application that provides a virtual mobile device on which you can run your Android applications. It runs a full Android system stack, down to the kernel level that includes a set of preinstalled applications (such as the dialer) that you can access from your applications. You can choose what version of the Android system you want to run in the emulator by configuring AVDs, and you can also customize the mobile device skin and key mappings. When launching the emulator and at runtime, you can use a variety of commands and options to control its behavior

In this article I am going to discuss how we can speed up emulator.  If your emulator is running on slow mode then you have need to follow some step which step make emulator faster.

1.       Open your application

2.       In menu bar, click window and choose the Android SDK Manager.

3.       And select the Intel x86 Atom System Image.

4.       Scroll the Android SDK Manager window and at last select Intel x86 Atom

System Image. 

 Close this window. 

5.   Now go to your drive C:\Program Files\Eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager 

And install IntelHaxm.

Intel(R) Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) with Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (VT) for faster Android. HAXM is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (VT) to speed up Android.

  If you are facing the below problem:

If your system does not support IntelHaxm then you need to follow the give bellow step -

·  Open your Command prompt with Administrator mode and write

the bcdedit command

 For set hypervisorlaunchtype off to write command bcdedit /set

hypervisorlaunchtype off 

If your command operation perform successfully then check hypervisorlaunchtype

is off or not. 

Write the command again bcdedit 

And reboot your system

6.       After reboot your system go to your drive C:\Program Files\Eclipse\adt-

bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64- 20131030 \sdk

\extras \intel \Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and install IntelHaxm.

7.       Now go on your application and create a new emulator

For example

And launch your emulator. Now your emulator work faster.
