Hi Just an idea: replacing emulator with VirtualBox with Androidx86?
Though our team tries to do as much as possible testing debugging of business logic on other platforms (project types like unit testing etc), we came up with that idea. In search for faster debugging, we have managed to substitute android emulator with VirtualBox VM + Androidx86. OK, deployment crashes (as expected) during "Installing Mono runtime"... So we are investigating right now how to compile/prepare AndroidX86 for mono and integrate it with MonoDroid (Visual Studio). First impressions are that it is waaaay faster... The problem for some might be that AndroidX86 is version 2.2. regards mel On 2011.08.24 19:13, Jonathan Pryor wrote: > On Aug 24, 2011, at 1:07 PM, andineupert wrote: >> Any ways to increase speed? > Shrink the display size to the smallest you can get away with.
