I'm running a 5-year-old Dell Inspiron 600m with 512MB of RAM. I've been trying to get going with the Android SDK and Developer Tools, but the Emulator has stopped me in my tracks.
It just won't boot. I don't get any error messages, but I can never get past the animated boot logo. I'll leave it running for 15, 20, even 30 minutes, but it never finishes booting. And it eats up so much CPU that it leaves my system basically unusable -- in fact, at one point I decided to just leave it running for a while, but when I came back to my computer, it had shut itself down. I assume the CPU was overheating. I've tried running the emulator with nice +1, and that at least keeps the CPU from running too hot, but it still never finishes booting. Is this a hopeless case? I am hoping that I will be able to buy a new computer in a few months, but I don't want to wait that long to at least get started. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way I can check the boot progress of the emulated system, so I can at least have an idea if it's actually getting anywhere? I would appreciate any help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
