Is there a repository of Android Emulator AVDs?

Issue

I need to test web apps on a representative selection of Android phones and tablets. I don't have the budget necessary to purchase a large selection of physical devices. I'm looking for a collection of AVD files to use with the Android SDK emulator to accomplish this. Does anyone know of an existing repository or collection of these? Or do I have to make each one individually figuring out their specific resolutions, memory, Android versions, etc for each? I've created one based on the Nexus S definition provided in the SDK's AVD Manager, but I need Samsung, HTC, etc ones too and am not sure where to get them. Each phone manufacturers dev portal is a little different and I haven't found anything as straight forward as "Here's the link to our AVDs" on them. Thanks.

Solution

If you aren't required to use the AVD from the SDK, you should checkout genymotion. They use a dedicated virtual machine to emulate real devices, so it's really really fast. They've also custom made a bunch of real devices (phones and tablets) such as the Nexus 4, Galaxy S4, HTC One, and Xperia Z. It looks like they mostly support API 16+, but there's a preview for API 9 at the time of writing this.
