[android-developers] Re: ideal system configuration for developing Android 3 apps
I am not in US and I really dont want to buy new hardware to develop for Android as its only an hobby and learning tool. I was looking for any optimization anyone has done on their system, such as increasing the default JVM memory, increasing the default stack space etc. On Mar 22, 3:11 pm, String sterling.ud...@googlemail.com wrote: And if you're not in the USA, you're kinda screwed for Honeycomb development.

I think the point is that the Honeycomb emulator is abominable on every configuration that anyone's reported. Even Google has admitted that it's really bad. AFAIK, nobody's reported any success with improving the situation by tweaking settings, either. Why don't you do that, and let us know what you find?

Re: [android-developers] Re: ideal system configuration for developing Android 3 apps
Actually, bumping the RAM helps a bit. hw.ramSize (Device RAM size) of 1024, if you have enough memory on your development machine, does improve performance. It is still fairly dreadful, but I couldn't even get it to boot with whatever the default was.

Thanks Mark for your suggestion. According to the API, the default is 96MB RAM which I am not sure applies to all versions of API. I will try your suggestions and other hardware options mentioned in API and update this thread. -jm On Mar 22, 4:23 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Actually, bumping the RAM helps a bit. hw.ramSize (Device RAM size) of 1024, if you have enough memory on your development machine, does improve performance.

[android-developers] Re: ideal system configuration for developing Android 3 apps
Ok, here is what I did to make the Android 3 emulator slightly more usable: - increased emulator vm.heap to 256 from 49 - reduced the resolution to 1024x768, default was much higher - emulator ram to 512 (tried 1024 but it crashed ) - also increased the eclipse vm to 1024 Its slightly more faster than before!!!

[android-developers] Re: ideal system configuration for developing Android 3 apps
The Honeycomb emulator is reportedly quite slow on all systems. Your laptop is probably fine. You should probably spring for a real Xoom. The Wifi-only model is due in US stores by the end of March. I can vouch that the 3G model is quite nice and works fine for development. - Richard Lawler -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
