EmuloAgent Profiles for Android Emulators
Learn how EmuloAgent profiles connect to Android emulators over ADB, confirm status and prevent two profiles from controlling the same instance.
Profiles are how you tell EmuloAgent which Android emulators to control. The video above walks through the Profiles screen in about five minutes. This guide adds the detail behind each step: what a profile really is, how the connection works, how to confirm it, and how to organize several emulators without them getting in each other’s way.
A profile is one emulator
Every profile stands for one Android emulator that the agent will watch and control. The profile remembers three things: which emulator it is, its screen resolution, and the automations linked to it. That is why the app opens here. Profiles are the map of everything you want to automate.
Demo profile vs real profile
A demo profile is a simulated screen. It lets you explore the whole app without installing an emulator, which is perfect for learning, but it is not a real device. A real profile connects to an emulator that is already running. Use the demo to practice, then create a real profile when you want to automate an actual game.
Before you start: emulator plus ADB
A real profile needs the emulator installed and running, with ADB enabled. ADB is the standard Android bridge that lets a program on your PC talk to the device. MuMu Player ships with ADB on by default; BlueStacks, LDPlayer and Nox each have a setting to turn it on. With the emulator running, New profile searches for it over ADB, finds the instance, and reads its screen resolution automatically, so you do not type any of that by hand.
Name it by task or character
After the app finds the emulator, you give the profile a name. A profile can represent a task, an app, or a game character: a main account or a second one. The name is how you tell your profiles apart, so describe what this one is for. Splitting work across separate profiles keeps each automation focused: one for your main character, another for a second account, a different one for each job you want to run.
The green dot means connected
A real profile shows a status dot. Green means EmuloAgent is connected and the emulator is online; red means it is offline. There is a second way to be sure: open the builder, select the profile, and turn on the live preview. The emulator screen streams in real time, so you can watch the agent see exactly what you see.
Link automations to profiles
On the Automations screen, a macro meets your profiles. You pin an automation to each profile, then run or stop it per profile. The same automation is reused across every profile you link, and the status shows where it is running. One macro can drive many profiles.
Several profiles, one emulator, and the caution
You are not limited to one profile per emulator. You can create several that point at the same device, which is handy for keeping different tasks apart. Here is the important part, and it is a habit rather than a warning from the app: never run two profiles on the same emulator at the same time. Two controllers on one screen fight for control, taps and swipes collide, and you get unexpected behavior. On a shared emulator, run one profile at a time.
One profile per emulator to run in parallel
To run several at once, give each emulator its own profile with its own ADB address. Those can run at the same time with no conflict, and one automation can cover all of them. How many you run at once depends on your machine, because the agent adapts its pace to your CPU and memory.

Profiles are the setup. Next, build your first automation in the builder, or step back for the full app overview. Ready to try it? Download EmuloAgent and connect your first emulator.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a profile in EmuloAgent?
- A profile stands for one Android emulator that EmuloAgent watches and controls over ADB. It remembers that emulator, its screen resolution and the automations linked to it.
- What do I need before creating a real profile?
- The emulator has to be installed and already running, with ADB enabled. MuMu Player ships with ADB on by default; other emulators have a setting to turn it on.
- How do I know EmuloAgent is really connected?
- A green dot on the profile means the emulator is online. To see it with your own eyes, open the builder, pick the profile and turn on the live preview: the emulator screen streams in real time.
- Can two profiles use the same emulator?
- You can create several profiles that point at the same emulator to organize different tasks, but never run two of them at the same time. They would fight for control of one screen. To run in parallel, give each emulator its own profile.
