I want to emulate a android smartphone on my pc. I already found the android emulator from andoid sdk manager but its look more like a programming tool so I am not sure if this is what I want.
I want an emulator that is able to install android with root permissions so I can install apk's like lucky patcher etc.
What can I use?

What OS are you using on PC? Yes you can use android sdk for this, and you can root using this method – xavier_fakerat Feb 21 '19 at 19:07

Private users can use Genymotion Emulator "Genymotion for fun" for free, their images are usually already rooted and it does not feel "like a programming tool". – Robert Feb 21 '19 at 19:39

Android SDK is not necessarily for development only, you can simply download the standalone Android SDK and install it your your PC.
After setting up your AVD simply, root it using this method. This is a standard method that works for most applications (except for a few requiring flashing .zips via recovery e.g Xposed, but I'm working on a fix for that)
Note: To access API > 27 on your target AVD, you need to manually upgrade the emulator.

It doesnt work with the 28 version. After I tried the 27 version it worked. – SomePerson Feb 21 '19 at 20:52

you should use intel images (x86) there are faster than arm, and yes api 28, 29 works – xavier_fakerat Feb 22 '19 at 05:28

If you still aren't successful you can try @Robert method for genymotion – xavier_fakerat Feb 22 '19 at 05:32

Yeah but I only saw a Trial and a Business Version on the genymotion site. Is there a Version for free? on my cpu/abi selection there was no ARM to select. I will try all cpu`s later. How long should it take to get past the "Google loading screen"? Edit: Oh I see he edit the link to the free Version. I will try it if I am back home. – SomePerson Feb 22 '19 at 07:02
