Introduction
This document will guide you through installing the Intel® Atom™ x86 image for Android* KitKat, which can be used for development on Intel’s x86 architecture.
Acer eRecovery Management, free download. System recovery software for Windows: Backup and restore data on an ASUS PC running Microsoft Windows. Review of Acer eRecovery Management. Includes tests and PC download for Windows 32 and 64-bit systems. Acer software on the device, called Acer Configuration Manager for Android, controls which OS will boot. The netbook sports a 10.1-inch screen and has Intel's Atom N450 microprocessor inside. Android Studio 3.2 Beta 1 or higher (download from developer.android.com) Android Emulator version 27.3.8 or higher (download using the SDK Manager) Windows 10 with April 2018 Update or higher; To install WHPX on Windows, follow these steps: From the Windows desktop, right-click the Windows icon and select Apps and features.
Prerequisites
The next stage is to copy the file to the Android Downloads folder, on my Acer Netbook this is located in My Computer - D:Downloads. Once the file is copied over, reboot the Netbook and into Android OS 2.1. Open the Android menu and click the settings application. Acer Office Manager (AOM) gives you extensive management control over your company’s computing devices. It lets you use any Windows or Android tablet, smartphone or computer as a central-management system for multiple desktops and laptops. Download ACER Digital Camera / Webcam / Camcorder drivers, firmware, bios, tools, utilities. Accessibility Menu: With Android 9's new accessibility menu, common actions like taking screenshots and navigating with one hand are now easier for motor impaired users. Select to Speak - OCR in Camera View: With Select to Speak, you can select text on the screen and the content will be read aloud. Now, Android 9 has added added OCR support for S2S in Camera and Pictures to make text even more.
The Android x86 Emulator Image requires the Android SDK to be installed. For instructions on installing and configuring the Android SDK, refer to the Android developer website (http://developer.android.com/sdk/).

Optional: The x86 Emulator Image for Android can be accelerated using Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM). For more information, refer to the 'Optimization' section of this document.
Installation
Downloading Manually (Instructions for both Windows and Mac OSX)
- Close any open SDK or AVD windows.
- Go to http://www.intel.com/software/android.
- Click Tools & Downloads
- Download the Intel x86 Atom System Image
(Android* 4.4 KitKat x86 Emulator System Image).
Windows
- Navigate to the directory where the Android SDK is located. If you installed using an executable for the installation, you can find the Android SDK in the following locations.
- If you installed for “everyone” on 64bit: 'c:Program Files (x86)android' 32bit: 'c:Program Filesandroid'
- If installed “just for me”: 'c:users<username>AppDatalocalandroid'
- The following instructions and screenshots are for a windows install 'just for me' but the files need to be extracted to the same relative path to your Android install
- The system-images directory contains Android system images, separated by architecture: If a “system-images” directory or an 'android-19' directory does not exist then you will need to create it.
- Expand android-19 (this directory contains API Level 19 system images):
- Extract the x86 directory contained in the downloaded system image archive directly into the android-19 directory. The directory “./Android-SDK/system-images/android-19/x86/” should have the following files:
- The system image is now installed and ready to be used.

Mac OSX
- Navigate to the directory where you extracted the SDK
- The system-images directory contains Android system images, separated by architecture: If a “system-images” directory or an 'android-19' directory does not exist then you will need to create it / them.
- Expand android-19(this directory contains API Level 19 system images):
- Extract the x86 directory contained in the downloaded system image archive directly into the android-19 directory. The directory “./android-sdk-macosx/system-images/android-19/x86/” should have the following files:
- The system image is now installed and ready to be used.
Using the System Image
- Start the Android AVD Manager and create a new AVD, setting 'Target' to 'Android 4.4 – API Level 19', and 'CPU/ABI' to 'Intel Atom (x86)'.
The Intel Atom x86 Image for Android KitKat can make use of hardware GPU features to increase the performance of games, graphics-intensive programs, and user interface elements. For the best performance make sure to check the 'Use Host GPU' Box when creating the image.
Note:The functionality and performance of GPU acceleration is highly dependent on your computer’s graphics card and graphics drivers. GPU acceleration must be enabled on a per AVD basis.
Note: if the 'Intel Atom (x86)' CPU/ABI option is not available, make sure that the system image is installed correctly. You can confirm the system image installation by opening the Android SDK manger and looking at the status of the “Intel x86 Atom System Image” under “Android 4.4 (API 19)” - Click the 'Create AVD' button.
- The AVD has been successfully created and is now ready to use:
Optimization
CPU Acceleration
The performance of the Intel Atom x86 Image for Android KitKat can be improved with hardware-based virtualization using Intel VT-x technology.
If your computer has an Intel processor with VT-x support, it is recommended that Intel Hardware Acceleration Execution Manager (HAXM) be used in conjunction with this system image. For more information about Intel HAXM, visit http://www.intel.com/software/android.

Note: Intel HAXM is for Windows and OS X operating systems only. For Linux hosts, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) can be used to accelerate emulation performance. For information on installing and configuring KVM on Ubuntu, refer to this guide:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
