You mean for the emulator in the IDE? I would try Android 9+. If not that at least 4.4+

Android 7 or 8 (one of these two) started using lz4 encryption for the partition images so I consider 9 a major version jump.

Yahel Android version 4.4. This is because it's the first major version jump abd many many things before that are completely no longer supported.
