I'm trying to run the factory application i.e. GlobalTime where one EGL API eglCreateWindowSurface is used. The Vendor provided EGL library call is only working with root access. It is not a third party application.
Also the SystemServer initiates SurfaceFlinger. In this case the above EGL API is working fine in SurfaceFlinger. I believe this is because SystemServer is started as root.
