  <p>Is there any fast and more efficient android emulator is available? I'm sick of android default emulator. Thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong>
  <a href="http://www.genymotion.com/" rel="noreferrer">Genymotion</a>is great too, since BlueStack App Player now forces you to install some apps to continue using free version. I tried Genymotion and quite happy with speed for App development, haven't tried gaming yet. Happy coding :)</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong>
  <a href="http://bluestacks.com/" rel="noreferrer">BlueStack App Player</a> is the best and your world will be much easier. I recommend every one to download and test it now. You will thank me later :). To use it with eclipse just use this command in command prompt.</p>
  
  <pre><code>adb connect 127.0.0.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and after that you can launch apk on your faster and awesome emulator directly from your eclipse.
  Works on <strong>Windows and MAC</strong>.</p>
