No. libhybris is not a replacement for bioinc to run anything from Android. It's another way around. It replaces some parts of bionic in the context of certain bionic based libraries (such as GPU userspace blobs), to enable running glibc based code while using those libraries. I.e. it works like this (if I understood correctly): Linux Application <-> Wayland <-> bionic based blob <-> libhybris <-> glibc That's because in normal case it would be (well in the best case it won't be a blob at all, it would be a kernel driver, but that's a different story): Linux Application <-> Wayland <-> glibc based blob <-> glibc. It has nothing to do with running Android applications.
