- Added a shortcut to go to the Screen Recording UI: Control + Shift + R (Command + Shift + R on Mac).
- Changed the -phone-number-prefix command line option to -phone-number <number>, allowing setting of the full phone number.
- Screenshots can now be taken from the telnet console with either of these commands:
- screenrecord screenshot <destination-directory>
- adb emu screenrecord screenshot <destination-directory>
- Screenshots are in PNG format.
- Fixed a crash on start.
- The frameless emulator's resize rectangle has been updated to better follow the emulator's visual theme.
Performance and antivirus software
We have been conducting tests to determine how to improve loading and saving times for AVD snapshots. In performing these tests, we have found that antivirus software packages that monitor every read and write operation can decrease performance for loads and saves. If your antivirus software provides the ability to whitelist applications, try whitelisting the Android Emulator application and see if performance improves. Also, if you have additional antivirus software installed beyond that which is included with your operating system, run some tests yourself to determine which gives you better performance with applications like Android Emulator.
