    I'm not sure that would be necessary, actually. Android is derived from Linux, surely they can do a translation layer for the majority of API calls? I mean there's no need for emulating anything, nor would it necessarily require layering an entire android install on top of Linux..? But my programming knowledge is limited, and somewhat rusty, so I'm not really sure.

    I'm not too familiar with the project, but I thought I heard talk about it being a compat. layer instead of a VM. Idk though, I might be entirely wrong lol.
