Alternatives to android default emulator

Is there any fast and more efficient android emulator is available? I'm sick of android default emulator. Thanks

UPDATE 2: Genymotionis great too, since BlueStack App Player now forces you to install some apps to continue using free version. I tried Genymotion and quite happy with speed for App development, haven't tried gaming yet. Happy coding :)

UPDATE: BlueStack App Player is the best and your world will be much easier. I recommend every one to download and test it now. You will thank me later :). To use it with eclipse just use this command in command prompt.

adb connect 127.0.0.1

and after that you can launch apk on your faster and awesome emulator directly from your eclipse. Works on Windows and MAC.

You can speed up emulator by using hardware acceleration feature.

To use Virtual Machine Acceleration you need,

• x86 AVD
• processor which supports virtualization extensions
• Android SDK Tools, Revision 17 or higher

and to configure graphics acceleration, you need

• graphics processing unit (GPU)
• Android SDK Tools, Revision 17 or higher
• Android SDK Platform API 15, Revision 3 or higher

See the android documentation - Using Hardware Acceleration - for instructions on how to configure your system.

You can make the booting of emulator fast using option Emulator snapshots You can also use Genymotion emulator that is much faster than android
