8,033 PointsI would suggest 2GB, but even 1GB should be enough. How much are you currently running it with?

135 PointsI added 5 gigs..but thats not enough because its ubber slow..I need to speed it up, I tried to execute it in my xperia l but it dont detect it with usb, so what do I do?
Jeff Janes
8,033 PointsOh wow, 5GB should be way more than enough. Do you have ADB set up to detect the phone?

13,116 PointsTo be honest I suggest you reduce the RAM to 512 MB, 5GB is way too much in my opinion. I am not sure if you get this notice but android studio says..."On Windows, emulating RAM greater than 768M may fail depending on the system load. Try progressively smaller values of RAM if the emulator fails to launch."
