i've changed the options for the menu_entry. I've replaced the option name 
"androidboot_hardware" by "androidboot.hardware" and its works finely.

Hope it'll be the same for you.

I'm on windows... where is the file/command I need to change located at? I 
usually just click start on the AVD Manager.
