While running android AVD manager it shows error "HAX kernel module is not installed!"

Question

I'm facing problem in running the android AVD manager. While running, it shows an error message-

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

But I've installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)

my laptop config:

• Windows 8,
• Intel Corei5 3210M 2.50GHz

Answer 1

Create emulator in CPU/ABI in ARM, this error only exist for the Intel processor.

If you want to create AVD CPU/ABI in Intel for this process. Make sure you have instaled HAXM installer on your SDK Manager.

After you download it make sure you run the setup located in:

{SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe

If you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation, disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command:

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS

Here is what you need to do to fix this issue.

1) Navigate to the following path:

C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

2) Run intelhaxm-android.exe as an administrator.

3) Once the installation is complete, Run your project and you will be able to run android emulator on your machine.

NOTE: YOUR VIRTUALIZATION SHOULD BE ENABLED IN THE BIOS SETTINGS.

Hope this helps.
