Installed android x86 9.0 (32bit)on a Atom tablet.
Most of the app I installed can't open.
I google around and noticed nativebridge. I turned it on in settings and run enable_nativebridge as su, but still can't open those app except those preinstalled.
I noticed there might be something wrong with the file downloaded through "enable_nativebridge" . As a 32bit OS, I guess it should download the name with houdini9_x, however it downloaded houdin9_z, which is for 64bit.
still not sure how to fix it

Houdini isn't available on pure 32-bit Android 8.0, only on 64-bit
kernel, 32-bit userspace version.

What CPU your tablet has ? Atoms (except the really old ones) can run
64-bit Linux even if the UEFI is 32-bit.

UFEI is 32bit. CPU is Intel Atom Z3736F

You have a Bay Trail Atom, it can run 64-bit Linux just fine. You'll
need 32-bit bootloader (bootia32.efi) though, but that is included in
64-bit Android x86 ISOs.

You pointed me to the right direction. What I installed these days are all 32bit android x86 iso. Now wonder it doesn't work. I just downloaded 64bit iso and installed it, and it works. Thank you.
