I’m currently stuck with using Atom CPU desktop for my Android app development. What are the ways to improve its boot time. When running the emulator I can see that the number of cores used by the emulator is just one, I’m running the emulator from within the Eclipse ADT plugin.
- How can I make the emulator use two cores instead of just one?
- What are the emulator setting that will make boot faster?
My android project will be mainly a PhoneGap + jQuery android app.
You can’t, sorry.
You should try to use one of the x86 emulator images (available now for 4.0.3 and 2.3.3). Beyond that, I am aware of nothing that will speed up the boot time.
Note that you can leave your emulator running for extended periods of time — you don’t need to close and reopen it to run a new copy of your app, for example.
