Thank you in advance!!!

Also, how do I create a custom hardware profile?

When trying to do so, I get prompted with:

Name of the AVD being run: 
avd.name [<build>]:

I input my build name and it just keeps asking.
Thoughts?

I don't have a ton of experience with them but wouldn't using one for the N5 work just as well? I've always seen suggestions to use your own hardware over emulation since it usually works much better, is there are reason you couldn't or don't want to do that?

My main reason is to test builds and cherry picks before putting it on my own M8. I only have this one phone and I'd rather it be working most of the time.
I'm fairly new to development...but I'm trying! :good:
