Galaxy S3 Emulator

Starting emulator for AVD 's3' Failed to allocate memory: 8 T his application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's suppor

Solution 1:

There is a common problem when setting up the AVD that you have to manually edit the config file to fix. On my WinXP comp this is located at

C:\Documents and Settings\username\.android\avd\name_of_avd.avd\config.ini

Change the memory settings from hw.ramSize=512 to hw.ramSize=512MB

Save the file and reopen the avd. This worked for me except I use hw.ramSize=1024MB

Solution 2:

Set the resolution manually to 720x1280 instead of using predefined WXGA720.
