Can't get ndk_translation to work on android 11

should be 644, It's required by Android. should alert such error in dmesg if permission not correct.

you need to change several properties (such as ro.product.cpu.abilist).
check native bridge for detailed (especially the factory.prop file).

I assumed the defaults were already good for ndk_translation since the configuration example is for that specific translation layer.

Just in case, I checked with the properties on the emulator from which I extracted the libraries (Android 11 x86_64) and I found they were exactly the same as the defaults on this repo. However, when checking them on redroid, no props were changed.

Since it works if I add those props manually to the docker command, I assume that either there's a bug, or docker expects factory.prop to have specific owners or permissions.

Does the factory.prop need special permissions?

[azteca1998]

That probably fixed it (can't try right now, but I just checked the running instance and its permissions were 664 instead of 644).

One last question, what are our options for sound? There seems to be no sound from the android instance, as expected, and sndcpy doesn't seem to work (see this issue). It seems that there's something not implemented which is required by sndcpy.

[zhouziyang]

this is a known issue (feature missing).
redroid primary focused on server side usage (cloud gaming etc.), and typically use WebRTC to streaming video and audio (need implement audio HAL part).

[azteca1998]

I understand. I'll try to look into the source code once I have some free time.

Thanks for your time.
