Hello folks, long story short, we are having troubles with the 16 bit color mode which the android emulator seems to use - what we need is 24 bit / true color support.
Judging from the visual output and a 32-bit vnc connection to qemu (which spits out 16-bit frames), it seems like the "hw.lcd.depth=32" flag does not enable true colors in the android goldfish kernel. However, the qemu side of goldfish seems to support HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888 [1]. Before digging into the kernel source, I would be very gladful for any hints or explanations. Does the android goldfish kernel support frame-buffers with HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888? Is there a flag to enable this?
