I have built ICS source using "make -j4", then I have modified the Music application in the source code ("packages/apps/Music") & built it successfully using "make Music". It generates "out/target/product/generic/system/app/Music.apk". Now I want to launch an emulator with this new source & test my changes in Music app. How to do this ? Do i need to rebuild entire source code ?
I found a solution here:-

Also set your path:-
export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourname/android-sdk/tools:/home/yourname/android-sdk/platform-tools
U may also need to :-
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/rXX (your Android SDK path), if u get an error like "unknown skin name"
U can also launch emulator with sdcard as:-
mksdcard -l mySdCard 1024M newsdcard.img
emulator -partition-size 256 -sdcard newsdcard.img -skin WXGA720
