ARM translator in 4.4-r5 and above

[Mario Ray Mahardhika]

I have a working 4.4-r3 installation in an older laptop, which could play many apps including the native arm ones. Now I have a newer laptop, installed with 4.4-r5, later upgraded to 6.0-rc1, but can't play any games. Comparing the directory structure, I found out that 4.4-r5 /system/lib/arm only has check.xml and cpuinfo, while the one in 4.4-r3 has a bunch of .so + linker.

Is there any workaround? Would copying the .so + linker from 4.4-r3 work? If possible, I need workaround for 6.0-rc1 since it uses kernel 4.4 which detects my touchpad correctly as touchpad, 4.4-r5 incorrectly detects it as touchscreen.

I answer this myself. Yes, simply copying those .so + linker works. This is still on 4.4-r5 system, so I will retry on 6.0-rc1 before marking this as solved.

Lollipop and Marshmallow have an option somewhere in Settings to enable ARM emulation.
KitKat does not have a setting for ARM and just downloads ARM libs automatically.

Thank you, I just figured it out "Apps compatibility". Need to additionally run a script called "enabled_nativebridge" from terminal to download the required libs. Everything works now in 6.0-rc1.

You don't need to run that script manually.
It's invoked when you enable the Apps compatibility.

[Mario Ray Mahardhika]

Then perhaps I'm not patient enough, because when I `ls /system/lib/arm`
after enabling that, it's still empty. The script seems to download instead
of copy, which could be the reason the libs don't appear immediately.

Have a look at /data/local/tmp instead
