Hey,

I think this topics not been covered before (a search didn't find anything).

Trying to run HLT under android-x86 for some fast overlay rendering.

However it crash's on start (unfortunately LapTimer has stopped).

This a possibility or am I just pushing sh*t up hill ?

Checked the Android-x86 web site understand what it is... A huge portion of LapTimer is not written in Java but comes as a native intact compiled for several arm dialect. I assume Android-x86 requires these libraries compiled for x86 and crashes when it can't load it.

So in short: x86 is not supported currently.

Understood. No quick fix for that.

Thanks for filling me in.

It is actually trivial to add another architecture. The problem is it will increase the app's size by another 5 or 6 MB - which all users need to download (probably using a mobile network). Due to LapTimer big set of functionality, it is a pretty heavy package already...

I'm going to try another option BlueStacks which runs an android emulator.
Will let you know how that goes.

Two month ago I also started playing around with Android x86 on my old Samsung N130 Netbook and was pretty amazed how well the standard Apps work. The Netbook has 2GB of RAM and a SSD and things like the browser and youtube work pretty well, lits of other Apps Crash on startup, I guess same reason HLT crashes too.
Didn't know about Bluestack and just installed it and it works great too. Even better: HLT started up without crashing...being cheap I tested with the Beta from testflight and it showed me the evaluation period of the Beta was over. I didn't get that on the netbook because it crashed immediately.
I guess this could be usefull when overlaying since memory space, RAM and processing power shouldn't be an issue then...should I try buying the full version?

I actually had an issue getting a larger sdcard to work well (got it to work but messy)
Something about it didn't feel right (bloatware ... other things) so I'm trying another option.

Currently giving the android sdk avd a go (Android Virtual Device).
That seems simpler and supports file based sdcard images (you can manage them with osfmount).

Will let you know if I get HLT to do a render under AVD.

Just came across this:

Well AVD didn't work (doesn't come with google play)
You can hack it in but ...

Having a look at the Andy app.

The Andy app is promising.
HLT runs just fine and it provides a 64G sdcard.
Will transfer data over tomorrow and give it a render.
