Problem with Android Emulator on Android Studio. HAXM Kernel Module not Installed I recently switched over from Eclipse ADT to Android Studio and as soon as I tried to fire up the emulator, I saw the following message:


  emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
  Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
  CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!


On Googling around, I found that disabling Hyper-V would solve this problem. It did. And the emulator worked like a charm. But then, my internet stopped working. In any form. WiFi, Ethernet, every kind of service went bust. Re enabling Hyper-V restored my internet connection, but the error came back. So, I can either use the internet or my emulator.
I really can't keep doing that. Is there an alternate to this?
You need to install Intel's HAXM module. HAXM accelerates your emulator so you don't test apps like a slideshow.


  My advice: Install Intel HAXM. Leave Virtualization Acceleration functions (Hyper-V, Vt-X etc.) activated and the emulator will work. There seems to be something wrong with your network adapter/configuration, too. Virtualization should be independant from your network.


Also please read the error message first and do a Google search to make sure such questions aren't already answered.
