Can I tweak my android emulator to make it fast?

Question

I am using the android emulator to run my programs. But its really slow. It takes around 90 seconds to startup and show the home screen. Can I tweak it so that I can reduce

Answer 1

I recommend you to use Genymotion . It's a very fast emulator (less than 10 seconds to run in my case)

It has Google Apps installed also including Google Play App which give the chance to download any app. This is a good feature for testing apps with Maps Api.
