The ability to customize the generated AVD's max VM application heap size and device ram size is now necessary for me. Would this be difficult to implement/is there a workaround?

I started on a generic solution today, but am currently losing a fight while writing the UI code for it (as ever).

I might end up just creating a release for the moment that adds VM heap size and RAM size parameters, as that's as simple enough to do.

Meanwhile, a workaround (albeit not a great one) is just to edit the ~/.android/avd/hudson_*.avd/config.ini files in question and set the values you want.

But if the AVDs are created on every run, won't the config.ini file be overwritten?

I imagine that heap and RAM size are two common parameters since the defaults are too low.

No, AVDs are created as they're needed, but only if they didn't already exist.

I agree that the values can be too low, though I note that at least newer platform versions seem to use larger RAM and heap size values by default.

Implemented in version 1.8.
