You want a tip? don't use the emulator. it is indeed very slow, there are some alternatives (search the forums) but it's better to use a real device.
Or you can use the Genymotion or YouWave emulators - they are almost as fast as a real device and handy for doing testing during development - but ultimately a real device is best.
