Fastest Android Emulator on Kali

Steps to enable Hardware accelaration on Virtual box

# Resolving x86_64 Emulation Hardware Acceleration Error in Kali Linux on VirtualBox
 
## Steps to Enable Hardware Acceleration
 
1. **Enable Virtualization in BIOS:**
   - Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like `F2`, `F10`, `DEL`, or `ESC` during boot).
   - Find and enable options like "Intel VT-x," "AMD-V," "Virtualization Technology," or "SVM."
 
2. **Configure VirtualBox Settings:**
   - Open VirtualBox and select your Kali Linux virtual machine.
   - Go to `Settings` > `System` > `Processor` and ensure that the checkbox for "Enable PAE/NX" is checked.
   - Go to `Settings` > `System` > `Acceleration` and ensure that "Enable VT-x/AMD-V" and "Enable Nested Paging" are checked.
 
3. **Install KVM on Kali Linux:**
   - Open a terminal in Kali Linux and run the following commands to install KVM and check for hardware virtualization support:
     ```bash
     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virt-manager
     sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
     sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER

Reboot your Kali Linux VM to apply the group membership changes.

Verify KVM Installation:
- After rebooting, check if KVM is installed correctly and hardware virtualization is enabled:
```
sudo kvm-ok
```
- This command should output that your CPU supports KVM.
Install Android Emulator Dependencies:
- Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies for the Android emulator:
```
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386
```
Create and Run the Android Emulator:
- Try creating and running the Android emulator again:
```
emulator -avd <Your_AVD_Name>
```

Alternative: Use ARM System Images

If enabling hardware acceleration is not possible or you continue to encounter issues, you can use ARM-based system images instead of x86_64. ARM system images do not require hardware acceleration.

Download ARM System Image:
- In the Android SDK Manager, download an ARM-based system image (e.g., armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a).
Create a New AVD Using ARM System Image:
- Create a new AVD using the downloaded ARM system image.
Run the ARM-Based Emulator:
- Run the emulator with the ARM-based AVD:
```
emulator -avd <Your_ARM_AVD_Name>
```


This guide should help you resolve the hardware acceleration requirement issue when running the Android emulator on Kali Linux in VirtualBox.

# We will download the default API 
./sdkmanager "system-images;android-29;default;x86_64"

# Confirm installed
./sdkmanager --list_installed

# Creating a new AVD (Android Virtual Device)

1. ./avdmanager create avd -n Android11 -k "system-images;android-30;default;x86_64" -c 1000M 
(-c for memory)
2. When you see do you wish to create a custom hardware profile? go with default no
3. cd ~
4. you will see a .android folder cd into that folder
5. cd avd
6. list dir and you will see a .avd folder and .ini  file
7. cd Android11.avd and list 
8. run the command to see all the specs
```bash
mousepad v

Start AVD emulator

cd ~/Android_SDK/emulator
ls
./emulator -list-avds
you will se Android11
./emulator -avd Android11
this will start the emulator
