Hey folks how is that using Android x86 I'm able to download apps like Twitter, Snapchat from the Google Play Store but using the Google Emulator SDK (x86 Nexus 4,s,7 whatever) I can't even install those apps from the Google Play Store cause it says their incompatible. (thought the problem was that it's a x86 CPU Architecture but so is Android x86)

What is that Android x86 has in it that allows that?

Intel's ARM to x86 translator, aka Houdini.

It is possible. How to do it depends on Android version.

Dear Povilas is there anyway to add that to the SDK Emulator too? So I can use both these tools :) thank you so much for your reply.

All houdini versions can be found on dl.android-x86.org.
There are 3 versions for Lollipop:

http://dl.android-x86.org/houdini.php?v=5_x
http://dl.android-x86.org/houdini.php?v=5_y
http://dl.android-x86.org/houdini.php?v=5_z

(Not sure which one would work with the emulator)

There was a post in the forum somewhere with a tutorial on how to manually install Houdini on Lollipop, but I can't find it right now.

Dear Povilas do you know where I could find that?  I'm trying to put it on a API 21 Google platform 5.0.1 Emulator  (I could always do it for another one I'm super flexible).

Found it.

See posts by Edgardo Gho.
It's not easy though.

Dear Povilas, I was wondering maybe I have to move the downloaded Houdini to the lib. folder in the SDK where the Emulator is... but seems like not enough to install it. Seems like I have to do something else for the Emulator to process it. 

Also I guess we install it for each AVD (android virtual device) or somehow into the actual "Emulator" application :/
