Since it is an open source app, couldn't you just compile it yourself? Or maybe drop a friendly suggestion to the devs to release an x86 binary.

- Zigurd 14y agoTwo more things: 1. It might run. APKs support packaging more than one machine architecture for NDK code in one apk. Currently, there is built in support, in the SDK, for both ARM variants and x86. You can get add-on support for MIPS. Possibly others, IDK. 2. If it doesn't run and you have source access, and if the native code is all in C and C++, you can compile it by adding the option to generate x86 code. It will be packaged in the resulting apk file, and should be installable on Google TV, unless it uses other APIs not available on Google TV.
- valley_guy_12 14y agoUnfortunately, while the Android NDK supports native code on x86, ARM, and MIPS processors, GoogleTV doesn't support the NDK: Does Google TV support NDK? No. There is a pending feature request for NDK support on Google TV https://developers.google.com/tv/faq#ndk It is my understanding that the Intel-based mobile phones are the first x86 Android devices to support the NDK.
