I'm having a machine with AMD Phenom II X4 955 running currently Windows 7 x64 SP1. Virtualization is activated under the Advanced CPU Settings in BIOS.

But when I want to add a device to the AVD it does show me this: Image

Does somebody has a similiar setup and can test this? Maybe it strictly needs VT-x and not AMD-V, but I don't find no related posts to this.

    Some antivirus will block the use of virtualization tools by preemptively stealing vt-x (or AMD equivalent). Hyper-V will also steal the features. Make sure that all virtualization the OS might be doing is disabled and (temporarily) disable your AV to test that.

    Since you have an AMD CPU, you'll have to run an ARM Image. To do this, go to Android SDK Manager: Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager, then chose any platform/package you want to download, expand it and select ARM EABI v7a System Image or ARM 64 v8a System Image then install. Alternatively, you could use the Android Emulator Genymotion, which works well with AMD and Intel.

  • Thank both of you guys. But how am I supposed to add a stupid line break to my comment? I'm having two spaces between every sentence and nothing happens. Now three. Now four....nothing happens. Why do people come here?

  • @dun You don't. Edit your question if you need line breaks

According to Android Documentation using Emulator your development system’s CPU should support VT-x. Without VT-x you can not use your cpu as virtualization.

If nothing else helps, the workaround is to use an alternative Android Emulator, e.g. Genymotion.
