I need to create a tutorial about using a Samsung S2 / S3 / S4 application.
Is there any simulator that I can run on my computer, so that I can use some screen capture software to create the tutorial ?

In that question I need a software to capture screen. In this question I need a software to run a cell phone app that will be captured afterwards.– woliveirajrCommented Feb 5, 2014 at 12:24

1The standard android emulator should work, but it's slow as heck. I would get a HDMI capture device and plug in a android phone into that.– user43Commented Feb 5, 2014 at 12:41

1@Austin It isn't even clear whether hardware recommendations are off-topic. If the answer to a software question involves some hardware, go for it.– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'Commented Feb 5, 2014 at 16:24

Is a beta android emulator. Has some slowness/crashing but it should work with a bit of work and is currently free. (it does have options to emulate specific phones but I haven't checked their accuracy in comparison to any real phones).

You can use Android-x86 + VirtualBox
- free and open-source
- Windows/Mac/Linux
Want to run Android on your PC? The Android-x86 Project has ported Android to the x86 platform from ARM. Android-x86 can be installed on netbooks with supported hardware, but you can also install Android in VirtualBox.
Android can be run as just another virtual machine, like you would run a Windows or Linux virtual machine. This allows you to play with the Android interface and install apps in a full Android environment on your PC.
Before you can get started, you’ll need both VirtualBox and an Android-x86 ISO to install inside VirtualBox.
Install VirtualBox:
- Download and install VirtualBox if you don’t already have it installed.
- Download an Android-x86 ISO: You can find the latest Android-x86 ISO files at Google Code. Download the latest one — currently Android 4.2.
