Running Android Apps in Pyra OS

[EvilDragon]

It uses OpenGL, so it would be a task for ptitSeb

I have seen that yes, and will make a try soon.

THAT would be a nice video with Pyra prototypes once we got 3D working
Hopefully, that won't be too long after we shipped the developers units

 

[Urben]

Sounds almost like it is possible that the 3d drivers might be there before final shipping...

A Mupen64plus that actually runs Bomberman 64 would guarantee my pre-order.

I want full speed GoldenEye

That would be nice, but that's also not something hard to imagine... Bomberman 64 literally doesn't run on the Pandora.

This is still in infancy, but open source and interesting. Maybe something useful for native apk support

I haven't much worked on that. It's on my todo (but it's not an easy compilation...)

@EvilDragon Any update on the Alien Dalvik thing? I would guess they may not exist anymore by now...

Does this open source project help in the pursuit of a viable alternative path to getting to Android apps working on a Pyra?

Well it says it requires Wayland, so one would have to use that.

Isn't Debian's default install Gnome + Wayland now anyway? Is there a reason not to use Wayland on the Pyra?

3D driver integration and rotation.

(also, I had forgotten that thread, and I still have a very low interrest in Android).

Many applications don't support wayland including xfce4 https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland#Supported_environments

 

[Silent-Hunter]

I also just prefer X11. I use X tunnelling often, and I don't think Wayland has anything similar.

There is no default on armhf, the install is a bit more unorthodox compared to a regular desktop. MATE has been the favorite of aTc, so that is what we have been using lately.

Is there a reason not to use Wayland on the Pyra?

I suppose for the reasons stated, above.
