Answer 1

In my case, the solution was to change not only config.ini but also hardware.ini for the specific skin from hw.ramSize=1024 to hw.ramSize=1024MB.

To find the hardware.ini file:

1. Open the config.ini and locate skin.path.
2. Then navigate to the folder where the android sdk is located.
3. Open the path, like this: android-sdk\platforms\android-15\skins\WXGA720.
4. Inside this folder you will locate the hardware.ini.
5. Change hw.ramSize=1024 to hw.ramSize=1024MB.
