Nox App Player – new android emulator

[vfoster]

Thanks for the heads up! I installed Nox and instantly fell in love with it. I uninstalled Andy (I uninstalled AmiDUOS and BlueStacks long ago). Nox runs really well on my i7 Stylus. There’ve been a few hiccups and slowdowns, but so far, it still seems miles ahead of the other offerings out there. Not to mention, I’ve only used it on Low performance settings (there is a Low, Medium, and High setting that I think controls performance).

For one, getting root access on Nox is as easy as flipping a switch. I couldn’t understand why on a freaking Android emulator for PCs there was no straightforward or built in root access

BlueStacks seemed okay at first, but forcing me to install apps I don’t want is rubbish. AmiDUOS annoyed me and I can’t remember why. I wasn’t above paying for it, but it wasn’t worth paying for in my opinion. Andy was a nice free option, but every time it was updated, it completely wiped out all my apps and settings. Also, since I don’t use Facebook, giving feedback or contacting the developers was impossible. So far, I’m really happy with the ease of use and setup and really clean design of Nox.

Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.

few apps and games I found that worked on other emulators forced closed on this.

Overall these emulators fall short.

You’re welcome.

I haven’t received my i7 stylus yet, so I’m testing these emulators on my main laptop (DELL XPS 15 – i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD). Obviously I don’t expect similar performance on a Core M tablet, but it gives an idea of the potential of the emulator.

AmiDUOS was slow and sluggish even with these high end specs.

NOX is running simply great. I actually noticed mEmu (http://www.xyaz.cn/en/) has a faster startup, but it’s android 4.2.2, and looks less polished with less settings.

Let us know your experience over time.

Thanks for sharing your experience! NOX App Player is indeed a solid choice for running Android apps on Windows devices, especially for tablets and laptops that don’t support dual boot. It’s great to hear it works well on your older i5 HP laptop—it’s a good indication that it should perform decently on the I7 Stylus as well.

Hello everyone,\n\nAfter discovering that the I7 Stylus isn’t compatible with Dual Boot, I embarked on a quest to find a reliable Android emulator. Alas, AMIduos hasn’t lived up to my expectations, and an XDA forum member recommended giving NOX APP PLAYER a shot. I decided to test it on my trusty old i5 HP laptop, and I must say, it’s been running smoothly!
