Usage of Android Emulators

Question

So I have been trying to use Android emulators on my windows 10 PC, but it is too laggy. I have tried some opinions online but apparently they use outdated versions of Android. What is your recommended Android Emulator?

Answer 1

Dark Angel
I use Nox.

Answer 2

VMWare w/h Android is a good option, but make a bootable persistent USB (Universal USB Installer) is even better IMHO, especially for slow PC's.

Answer 3

Dark Angel
My experience with Nox is better in comparison to that of Bluestacks. I found Bluestacks bloated (might have been fixed now). Also, it crashes much less (only once till now if I recall correctly)

Answer 4

Hi Dark Angel,
I did use bluestacks but like you said, to laggy ☹☹

Currently I use VMware with Android 5.1 on windows 10.
Great preformance if you compare it to emulators since it run direct instead of running it via an framework that is indirect.👍

Answer 5

Stellar Fox Thanks! So what are its advantages?

Answer 6

Dark Angel I have tried that but with Android 6.0 and VirtualBox and it sucked. Does VMware have better performance?

Answer 7

Have you tried MemuPlay? It's really great with games and apps.

Answer 8

dim_knp,
Yes, the previous versions of VMware, I use version 6.xx(old but gold).

Did use VirtualBox but didn't work out for me either

Answer 9

Manan,
Many sites are providing ISO android files, Here is one of them:

Burn it FreeBSD cause it is not linux nor windows.

There are many tuts that explain how to burn, here is one of them:

VMware workstation player series, they are free to use. Version 14.xx is current.
If you start using version 6.xx, it supports also win10 and many more (but is not available in the list when creating OS).

P.S. have a look at Maz 's answer, USB persistence can be a lifesaver👍

Answer 10

I recomend you to use the emulator of the andriod studio if you use this software.
otherwise I recomend you to use high performance phones of genymotion emulators.
