[ale] Yea!! Android emulator working after 1/2 hr hair pulling

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi all,

I now have the android emulator working with a nexus 10 image inside my 
vm.  It's slow but usable for my purposes.  I thought using an atom x86 
image would speed up the emulator, but arm appears to be faster.

If I do not select use host gpu, it appears to use only one of the 
vcpu's available.  If I do select use host gpu, it appears to drive all 
vcpu's close to maximum.  However, in so doing, it looks like I give up 
the ability to use snapshots.  Is there a way around that?

For whatever reason, I have two problems I'm hoping someone can help me 
with.

1) The emulated tablet locks up on shutdown.  I've googled it some and 
tried some options for killing audio on the emulator, but so far no 
success.  Has anyone had experience with that and do you know how to fix 
it?  Once this happens, the only choice I have (that I've found) is to 
delete and rebuild the AVD.

2) Even though this is a nexus 10 image, there is no google play store 
on it, or any app store as far as I can tell.  Can anyone tell me how to 
get google play on to the emulated tablet?

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ron
