I tried manually dropping the file onto emulator, still get INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE error.

Installed ARM translator to resolve the issue, I am able to install the APK, but now there is lot of flickering on the GUI of device, also App does not launches when double clicked.

This is just a guess, but does your application use JNI? I think you’ll have to compile your native libraries to support x86.
