How to use the x86 Android emulator on Linux?
Step #1: Download the Intel Atom x86 System Image - API Level 10 via your SDK Manager.
Step #2: When creating an AVD, choose Intel Atom x86 System Image - API Level 10 as your target.
At the present time, the only official x86 system image is for Android 2.3.3 (a.k.a., API Level 10). There is a third-party build of an Android 4.0.3 system image from the AOSP that you can also install and use, though it is unofficial.
Android emulator system images and AMD processor
According to the Android documentation for the emulator, the x86 image specifically requires an Intel processor. When they say:
...Virtual machine acceleration for Windows requires the installation of the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM). The software requires an Intel CPU with Virtualization Technology (VT) support...
They are referring not just to supporting "Virtualization", but to a specific set of processor extensions only available on recent Intel processors.
Use the ARM system image. It will get the job done, it just won't feel like you are running a native Android system.
