Improve Android Genymotion Emulator performance for mobile automation testing



1. Change the resolution: Open Genymotion --> Select Configurate this virtual device --> Reduce the ScreenSize - Density.


2. Disable Animations:
  • Enable developer mode by going to Settings > About phone, then tap on Build number several times to enable it



  • Go to Settings > Developer options, and scroll down to Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Turm off all of them



  • Some people reported that turning off animation may cause stranger behavior in some apps. Follow this article for more information HERE


Note: if you are not using the Genymotion emulator but the emulator from Android SDK, you can follow this topic to make it run faster HERE
