If it was, these https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris would be all green.

Android hardware adaptations are full of horrible hacks. And libhybris is a hack on top of these hacks, not a silver bullet.

If an Android hardware adaptation is decent, libhybris works pretty much out of hand.
But if it is a hack, one needs to find out and port the hacks to make libhybris work.
