I am a big fan of Android game, but have always being in a situation where I want to play a game, I couldn’t use my phone or my battery is going to die. Sometimes I even couldn't enjoy some fancy games because of small screen but thick fingers...
Well, it is actually possible to solve all the headaches with Android Emulator. When you install an emulator on PC, you get a virtual console in which you can use any Android apps and games. So I am going to share my experience of three popular Android emulators: BlueStacks, Andy and MEmu.
• Performance
Benchmark: AnTuTu v5.6
CPU: Intel i5 3.3GHz
Memory: 8GB
Graphics: GeForce GTX 950

To my surprise, MEmu obtain the highest score 96375 and way ahead of the others. Andy's score is 73376 and BlueStacks's is 67807. As a reference, the flagship Samsung S6 scores 69019. MEmu seems pulls off this impressive performance by running Android apps natively on x86 processor whenever possible. On the other hand, when launching these three emulators, BlueStacks starts up a little faster than the others. I guess it's probably because BlueStacks is a lightweight solution which doesn't virtualize the full Android system.
• Use and Setup
BlueStacks is extremely easy to install and setup. In fact, there is very few things could be configured. BlueStacks has its own user interface apart from the standard Android interface. Frankly speaking, I am not a fan of this UI although it's particularly focused on games. The worse thing is BlueStacks costs $2 a month to keep playing.
Andy is not as simple as BlueStacks. I did have a problem actually installing it but somehow I fixed it. Once you launch Andy, you will get a standard Android interface and need to connect your Google account to Andy at the first time. Andy offers a handy feature that you can launch Android apps from shortcuts in your Windows desktop.
For MEmu, downloading and installing is amazingly easy. With the default setting, I can directly run any app exactly like it on the Android phone or tablet. I was also surprised that I can change the brand, model and even IMEI, and etc. Sometimes it's very useful, I bet you know that.
• Gaming and Productivity
As you can see, BlueStacks concentrates more on games rather than regular apps, as its home page filled with suggested games by category reveals. Hence, it's no surprise that the suggested games run fairly well. Unfortunately, I found the program to be buggy and slow in some regular apps.
Unlike BlueStacks, Andy focuses on an overall experience for both games and regular apps. It actually plays the game better than BlueStacks in terms of stability, but sometimes a little bit slower. The good thing is that Andy supports third party launcher and even allows the use of widgets.
MEmu also provides a more rounded experience than BlueStacks. It puts all suggested apps and games in MEmu market, but seems most of them are popular in China. So I downloaded a few apps and games from Google Play and they all went very smoothly. One of the things I really like personally is the ability of comprehensive keyboard mapping, since it makes me play shooting game much better than in my Android phone.
• Multiplayer Mode
The multiplayer mode is an innovative feature which makes it possible to run several emulators spontaneously. Instead of pushing other apps/games to the background, you can switch between them on the same computer screen. This is like having several phones for real-time multi-tasking.
BlueStacks and Andy don't support this mode natively, but it's said that you could create multiple instances of BlueStacks or Andy with the help of sandbox.
MEmu has a thoughtful design for this feature. The activation process is very simple and I was able to create several MEmu players in a few clicks. It’s also easy to customize the CPU occupation and RAM of each emulator was introduced. Moreover, it takes up much less resource, compared to sandbox solution. So MEmu wins it clearly.
• Interesting Features
BlueStacks offers a feature of syncing apps between your phone and the Windows app via a cloud connect app. Andy lets you use your Android phone as a remote control, mirroring the screen on Andy on your phone. MEmu could be launched from a USB thumb without any software installation. With this portable version, you can easily plug and play and bring MEmu everywhere in your pocket.
• Overall
There are many other Android emulators and your choice really depends on your needs. If you need something super simple that plays some light games occasionally, then BlueStacks may be a good choice. For most of Android fans, Andy and MEmu are definitely worth a try. They are both free and powerful. As to me, I will go with MEmu because of good performance and multiplayer mode.
Well, I will be happy to know your choice or suggestion.

Memu is my choice of emulators from all the three I tried.
Buddy, seems we share the same feeling
BlueStacks is my previous choice. By your sharing, I've just tried MEmu and it's really cool! It would be better if MEmu could improve multiple language support.
A simpler for the average user Andy.:fingers-crossed:
I don't like BlueStacks, because for some time I was unable to remove it from my system, it always offered to update.

I have uninstalled it and it left this behavior.
I ran into this problem with BlueStacks a few times too... then with the help of some 3rd party software, I remove it clearly finally.
I've tried many Android emulators before... bluestacks, andy, nox, genymotion, memu and some others I can't recall their names. Anyway, I agree with you by and large that MEmu is the best one ever.
I've just tried MEmu for a few weeks and it went very well.
But I didn't figure out how to perform sliding screen through keyboard mapping... otherwise, I can not play templerun on the android emulator
Any suggestion? Or MEmu doesn't support it?

As to slide screen operation in MEmu, hold the left mouse button down and drag the mouse pointer toward the direction of slide screen, then type a key to map this operation. You may have a try
MEmu,the best choice!
Let me share our store of the comparisons on performance, the following chart says all: [LeapDroid beats every other emulators]

BlueStacks' NEW Android App Player for PC. Run android apps on Windows PC.
BlueStacks just opened its Beta doors a few days ago.
If you own a Window’s anything (laptop or desktop), you MUST try out BlueStacks App Player.
It is not slow and jerky like phone emulators or like Amazon’s virtual playground for some apps in its appstore.
Of course, not every app will work with BlueStacks, but SO MANY of them do. It is worth playing with.
Your Phone Will Sync All The Favs!
Another great perk is that you can link your phone to the app player on your laptop or desktop with their Cloud Connect app.
This app installs on your Android phone and allows you to pick and choose which apps from your phone you want synced to your desktop.
You will have access to the Amazon AppStore and Get Jar and a few other appstores right out of the gate.

Nope, that is a draw back. Hopefully they will fix it when it goes live.

that would be awesome on windows 8 with a touch screen monitor, some hardware maker should bundle this with their touch laptop or windows 8 tablets as they will auto inherit 1000's of touch apps or an android vendor should integrate with their android pc suite like samsungs kies if it ever gets fixed
seriously
Wow looks amazing. Does it have a good framerate?

I like this, it makes it look like a tablet. Hopefully a future update is to make it look like ICS rather than Gingerbread.
A nice feature I found out accidentally was that if you have a webcam plugged into you computer then you can use the camera app to take pics with it.

The ARM emulation can be a bit slow, not optimal for running games. It will virtualize anything it can in x86, but most games are ARM only.
Bluestacks does plan on making a version for Windows 8 ARM tablets and since ARM can then be virtualized instead of being emulated it should have no performance issues.
wow this is interesting...! thanks for this
This seems nice, will try it asap.
i'll try this, thanks a loooot!
Having tried the BlueStacks emulator recently, I can attest that it's very easy to set up and get playing your favorite Android games right on your desktop. However, it's only available for Windows currently and you have to install the Cloud Connect app on your phone to get it to sync with apps only found in the Android market.
If you want something that actually runs the full Android OS on any platform (through VirtualBox) and doesn't limit you to GetJar or Amazon's app stores, you should check out Android-x86. I made a video yesterday showing how to install the Android-x86 emulator in less than 5 minutes.
Granted, it's not quite as streamlined as BlueStacks, but it grants access to all the Android apps you would normally have on any 4.0 device and seems to run much more smoothly.
Written Android-x86 Installation Tutorial
Ever heard of mobilism ?
Thxx a lott
Very cool find OP. This thing certainly seems to be more than capable of most of our games: I just got a 4826 on Quadrant, and a 9633 on Antutu.
I don't know if this is the necessary way to do it, but I got ADW Launcher and Play Store installed by installing this, then going to system/apps and installing g1.apk. The default settings app is in there too.
And the settings app claims the model is "GT-N7000", or the Galaxy Note. Anybody know if this ROM is based on that, or if they are just trying to emulate the phone?
I'm trying for root now.
I would love to see a Linux client, but this looks cool.
how about emulate android app,, it can??
Superb Man. Good Work.
Hi All,
We have just released a new Android virtual machine, called Leapdroid, it is a Windows program that allows you to run Android Apps in Windows. Our focus has been on graphics performance. It outperforms all other players on market, such as BlueStacks, Genymotions, Andyroid, etc... it supports a lot of games, and it it is totally free, you can download it from our website:
http://www.leapdroid.com
From development point of views, we have implemented most features that Google's emulator has, such as compatible adb. Our virtual machine is the only vm that can start adb before vm starts, same as a real device, so you can get the first line of adb logcat. We have also optimized other aspects of the system.
Check it out!

Here is a video with Leapdroid playing a few games, including a shooting game. This video demonstrates the advanced key mapping feature.
Booting Speed is really amazing
I tried using several android emulators such as B****, G*****. Tried this new one. Having not gone through intensive usage now, I am already shocked by its launching speed. Amazing! Really beats others. It is a fresh boot, not like B****'s not shutting down and faking instant boot.
I forgot to mention that our vm supports multiple instances. After installations, two android virtual machines will be created.
Has been looking around for a VM to play Minecraft. This is the only capable so far.
Thanks, Leapdroid!
How I can switch input language?
"Control + Spacebar" not working for me.
What is the Windows input method software you are using?

That looks awesome!!
One question: (You would rock some worlds with that)
Could you somehow release a version compiled for arm-thumb2 so windows-rt-JB users could finally open android apps on their first gen surface RT <3
Probably impossible, but I never give up the hope
Hi Blade,
Thanks for the nice suggestions. A thinner run-time version that can run on ARM systems is definitely our direction, but it will take quite sometime to implement. For the moment, we are focusing on developing a new generation of android virtual machine on X86 architecture. As you may have noted, current android virtual machines are still not that compatible if compared with a real android device, many apps still don't run well inside emulators. Leapdroid will lead in these aspects.
Good performance
Run very smoothly so far. Is there a way to install apps without using Google account?

Assuming you have your APK ready:
I've found the following information on their website h t t p : / / leapdroid . com / helpcenter . html. It seems that they reply on standard adb to install programs.
I typically use apkmirror to download APKs. What kind of channel do you use?
BTW: I do not understand XDA does not let me to post web links. Maybe for safety reason....
http://www.leapdroid.com/helpcenter.html has more info
Before we enable drag/drop (which should come soon), you will have to use adb to install apk.
Adb works for me. Great work!
When can we see a Mac version?
We are working on Mac and actually Linux version too, but currently focusing on Windows.
How do I unroot or install Xposed?
You can do adb remount, then you can change system partition
I'd love to try this, but I feel very suspicious.
There's no "about" page on the Leapdroid website, so we don't know who we are giving our Google Account credentials to when we login.
Three of the comments on this thread were written by new members who signed up just after this thread was started... that's a red flag for me.
If you look at my profile, you will see I am not new, you can also google my name, will find out.
Our website will have more info soon, we are a VC funded company, located in Fremont, California. I did Android vm a few years back, also released here, please check my old posts.

I appreciate the info. I'll keep an eye on this project and will reconsider installing it once more info is put up on the site.
It works really Well. Is there any thought of updating it to newer Android versions? Definitely the best Emulator I have used so far.

Yes, it's an Android virtual machine, similar to BlueStaccks,. We have compared the benchmark scores, and Leapdroid is the best on market, please give it a try.
We have much better architecture and technologies compared to others, and feel confident to come out as #1 Android emulator. We have a new OpenGL forwarding technology, called LeapGL, and a virtual fiber between android vm and the host machine, which results in ultra high performance. The benchmark scores we got from our vm is very close to native execution speed.
We have github account here, will release some source code.
https://github.com/leapdroid
look forward to Linux version.
Yes, we are working on a Linux version too.
To give you some ideas on our performance, we run BlueStacks and our Leapdroid on the same physical PC, with exactly same configurations. We use AnTuTu 6.0, and the scores are shown in the attached images. The larger the score is, the better the performance is.
it's 156141 (LeapDroid) vs 122794 (BlueStacks)
WTF? The installer provided stucks at 0
Sorry about that, our developer is looking into the issue. Can you try installing again? Also check if the md5 matches.
It's an offline installer, suppose not downloading anything during installation, so that progress bar is misleading, can you check if the file size is around 245MB?
would be nice if the installer says/ask where you're installing to instead of just installing. i also get an empty folder with unreadable symbol after its done installing that look like this C:\Users\SPeciaL\Desktop\ĸ‚矨搦\Leapdroid\VM
can i delete it?

Yes, you can delete that weird folder.
Look like the bug is to do with self extracting, can you put the exe file to a folder that you have write permission?
We wil release a new version next week.

? the exe is on desktop and i believe i have write permission?. i checked the properties and all it's not "read only" if thats what you meant. besides the weird installation there's also sound lag and kind of felt like echo. the graphic also isn't as clear as bluestack (i used it before it always stuck initializing) and memu.
1st
tried to find and remove all traces of LeapDroid: don't know whether was 100% successful.
2nd
ran installer again. Got error message
but the mentioned folder doesn't exist.
I gave up wasting my time with LeapDroid ...
Suggestion:
Please, I believe the user should always have the choice to avoid "installations", therefore, I'm asking for "Leapdroid-Portable" version.
Such version should always be released alongside the major Leapdroid releases.
When I say "Portable", I mean a self-contained directory with all the settings/things/other you need to run Leapdroid (so, your android emulator can become really portable....aka fully contained on your beloved USB-DataKey).
No weird directories spread on your disks, no infinite amount of obscure registry-keys, no problems when trying to uninstall/reinstall....
....just a directory, full of your stuff.
As jwoegerbauer pointed out, the uninstall process is always a sensitive matter.
What's easier than uninstalling just "deleting" a folder?
some more experiments and it seems to be able to run apps that i couldn't on other emulators, fate grand order for example and also smoother despite sound issue (clash royal). i'd also like to hide sidebar if possible but nice stuff for first version!
Report here:
leapdroid can't run seven knights games and vpn apps
also please add more features like install apk - config resolution - orientation change.
Might want to move the shared folder default location to a more known place like MyDocuments or something. Couldn't find it anywhere so I had to check vm1.vbox and it turns out it was in "C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\yiwanzhushou\shared". It's the best way to transfer apks and other files to the Android machine, so it should be in place where your average user can access it quickly without much thought.
Already comes rooted which is always a plus. Would be nice if you could customize WASD keymap, but it isn't a big deal right now.
I don't play that many FPS intensive games, but overall they do feel smooth. Sadly I couldn't get シノビナイトメア / Shinobi Nightmare (jp.co.gu3.samurai) and Tales of Link (com.bandainamcoent.tolink_ww) to work (game starts but there's a black screen and you can't do anything), but since MEmu and Nox can't run them as well I wasn't expecting this to do it, so far only BlueStacks has been capable of running them without issues in my machine.
Also this is just my personal opinion, but I don't think the emulator should come with preinstalled "game installers". Unless you're being paid to put them there, I don't see why some random crappy games must be forced down my throat when I have no interest in them. Needless to say the first thing I did when I saw them was to uninstall them. If I wanted the game, I'd go get it myself.
Thanks for testing and those feedbacks. I hate installation issues too, and we will resolve them in next release. We take user feedbacks seriously.
These couple of weeks we have fixed more compatibility issues to cover more games, we will make sure all games reported here got supported in next few releases.
Please test more, and leave feedbacks. Appreciated!
How to install my own apk
I have played Critical ops on your product, it runs smoothly, key mapping works perfect. But it seems I can only download games from google play store, I didn't find any button or settings with APK install.
BTW, your product boots so fast, less than 5 secs on my pc.

XePlayer Android Emulator for pc support video recording, gamepad & keyboard, and internal integrated Google Play store to compatible with all apps, more than 99% apps & games Running perfect on XePlayer.
Play your favorite mobile games and make use of all your preferred mobile apps from the comfort of your desktop with this powerful Android emulator.Computer builds can get pretty powerful these days, even capable of fully emulating other powerful devices. There are plenty of reasons you want to try something in a virtual environment, and if you’re looking for a flawless emulator for generic Android devices, then XePlayer is just what you need.
Experience the Android OS on your desktop
First of all, you might want to be sure your computer is capable of running the application, because it might eat up some resources since it emulates an entire different operating system, which, in turn, can have other games and tools active. Moreover, your computer needs to have Virtualization Technology active, namely VT-x for Intel, and AMD-V for AMD processors.
The interface has a familiar look and feel about it, that’s if you ever laid hands on an Android smartphone or tablet. Interaction is pretty much the same, with the mouse used to interact with objects as elements just as you would with your finger. However, there are also some helpful elements for when a single mouse can’t handle the task of two fingers otherwise used on a touchscreen.
Since a desktop interface can’t really hold all the functionality of an actual phone, the application is fitted with a nifty sidebar where you find all sorts of tools. Some, like the two-finger control mode, come to aid in particular regions, while others, such as the recorder or add APK file, can help with more advanced tasks.
Play games, try apps, and connect to the Internet
One particular sidebar function you find of particular interest is the keyboard control. It lets you create a fully custom keyboard right there on the screen, which can include additional control elements, such as a Gravity Sensor, GPS walking keyboard control, direction controller, crosshair, and more.
Needless to say that the application comes with its own settings, which in turn affect the emulator. Depending on your PC specs, you can tweak performance levels, display, and CPU usage. Interface settings, such as orientation, can be changed, as well as general options, like starting with Windows, or enabling root startup.
Things get a little more fun, if not enough already, when stumbling upon really familiar elements, such as preferred games and apps. You can directly connect to the Google Play store with your existing Google account, which means all achievements and other account bonuses are shared across all Android devices you associate with your user.
A few last words
To sum it up, XePlayer can really make you think trick you into believing you’re using your tablet or smartphone instead of the PC. Performance is flawless, with neatly-designed and interactive menus, configurable controls, and an immersive Google Play experience.
System Requirements:
– Windows Xp/Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10
– Intel or AMD CPU (with Virtualization Technology support preferred)
– At least 1 GB free system memory
– At least 2 GB of free disk space under installation path
– GPU with OpenGL 2.0+ support

Is this a fork of NOX Player? Are the original developers aware that you're using their codebase?
We have been authorized by original developers.And it is very easy to use and fast.

This is very nice work. Hey i am encountering problem using iflix., problem is in audio, like running on fast forward and, and on video, laggy. where can i ask support?
thanks
PUA/installcore
fwiw google flags/blocks the xeplayer download, determines it's malicious... if warning is ignored and file is allowed to download, a malwarebytes scan on the downloaded exe file also flags it as malicious (pup).... probably nothing, by why have anything packaged in an exe file that would trigger this?

The question is why do you used it in an emulator, while you can just open the web using web browser?
Compared to NOX why should I prefer XePlayer?

It was a third party download Link.
Please use the official download link:

Because XePlayer is simple and beautiful software.XePlayer can really make you think trick you into believing you’re using your tablet or smartphone instead of the PC. Performance is flawless, with neatly-designed and interactive menus, configurable controls, and an immersive Google Play experience.
I'm just surprised this emulator
Thank you for a great emulator ,but I have a request to update it you can update the Android version? just a new game you can not always run because they require a newer version

Hello
I am very happy to see this game here ,
I got one request, can you please add the GFX and SND folders as attachment so that we can download easily on Android and use it directly without pc at all
Please provide those files for us to download
Hi, we don't distribute the assets I'm afraid as we don't own them. They are easy to get if you have access to a computer though, you just need an original copy of the game or if you don't have that, you can download the Amazons demo.
More info here in the prerequisites section https://www.settlers-android-clone.com/download/
It's worth it
Sure ,I will give it a try and tell my experience with it
But thank you for creating this
Maybe this project should create their own baseset for game graphics? Just like openttd with their opengfx
This is great ,but Dose it work on tablets ?
I tried the game but it lags a lot in my phone, my phone is Motorola g4 plus with Snapdragon 625

Yes this would be nice, we are talking about producing certain higher resolution graphics already. Mainly for various menu parts to begin with.

Yep it should work on pretty much all Android devices running 4.4+. The Android controls work well on devices of all sizes, but 7-10 inch tablets are a particularly nice way to play thanks to the extra screen size.

Already bookmark the site. Because looking for data fron the pc game and copying it to our devices is pain, not talking about who don't own the game

It can be a bit slow for the first minute, I think it is doing some extra calculations in the background at this point. Also later in the game when more stuff is happening it can start to slow down on older phones. For me it runs much better on my Samsung 10.1 2014 tablet on on my S5. I suspect on good devices less than a year old it runs much better still. There are probably optimisations that can be made to improve performance on mobile devices.
Work has started on implementing Team games. This will work for both singleplayer and multiplayer ?
Hopefully this will be available in the nightly builds sometime soon.
Boss,
This game has got a lot of potential, it's very good
But like I said it lags even on a good phone like Moto g4 plus
It's very good news to hear that further development is going on , hoping to see this improve to be the best rts for Android
Please improve it
Team games now working in single player mode.
Currently being worked on are
- multiplayer team games
- ships for transport and trading.
Check out the nightly builds to try the latest additions. Android and desktop versions both available in the nightlies.
https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies
How to get the download link of nightly builds in
https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies
Go to View Code then there will folders "master" and "pull requests" master contains more stable builds, pull requests are the latest features. Keep going into these folders then choose the date you want and download the zip file containing the apk
E.g.
https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies/tree/gh-pages/master/2017-07-12_20-58-38__e3e8390
Nice ,I will definitely try
The game has improved a lot but building icons not seen at all and the lagging has reduced but still need improvement with the lagging
But the game has become very good
Below is screenshot of no building icons bug seen in latest master version
That's not the latest version, install this. https://github.com/jsettlers/settlers-nightlies/tree/gh-pages/master/2017-07-12_20-58-38__e3e8390
Can wait to try this out.
Also if there are other mac users that want to try this out the exe is just a self extractor so you just need an archive utility that supports the format. I used KeKa.
old but gold game <3 can i play it in german cause i watch the video on the website and it was in german but the screenshots here show´s me english stuff ???
