+### Cloning an Image
+Running tests on two emulators is twice as fast as running on one. Rather
+than use the UI to create additional avds, you can clone an existing one via:
+
+```shell
+tools/android/emulator/clone_avd.py \
+ --source-ini ~/.android/avd/EMULATOR_ID.ini \
+ --dest-ini ~/.android/avd/EMULATOR_ID_CLONED.ini \
+ --display-name "Cloned Emulator"
+```
+
