I think its RAM amount which is blocking you, i have 2GB and it runs well, but htop reports that almost 10% of memory is used by emulator.... that will make about 200MB used by emulator - on 512MB system it may be too much and it may be actually lot of swapping which slows you down

if you dare you may try to experiment a bit with qemu settings (run emulator with parameter -qemu -m megs (for example $ emulator -qemu -m 32 ) and hope it will be enough for android and apps..... i never tried

Hi,

I am very beginner with Android SDK, my testing plataform is Debian/Lenny on P4 2.8GHZ with 512Ram. The emulation goes really slow for example: I made a horizontal scroll gallery of images following an example and it

run very slow! DDPMS and emulator process together use 85% of CPU!! There is anyway to improve this condition? Can I develop on a machine and use another to run Phone alone?
