Is this like Wine/Proton, but for Android instead of Windows/DirectX?

  It seems like it, at least based on the bit in the README about stubbing out and implementing classes & methods that apps need.

  Yes, the implementation looks philosophically similar and seems to cleave at the same layer (the interface between app code and platform libraries). Basically, an implementation of everything Dalvik calls out to via JNI and a bionic <-> glibc libc shim for native Android libraries.

    Wait, Dalvik? Not ART?
    • bri3d 2y ago
      No, you’re right, ART now (I think they started using Dalvik, actually, but switched, just like Android itself). I guess I forgot what year it was for a minute there :)

  If Android binaries are for ARM and Linux runs on x86, you need another layer of translation from Arm to x86.

    That's included in Android.
