Hi Anirudh Appreciate your feedback and sorry if my email came across that way to you, I think you might miss some context. I don't think calling something hacky is anything bad and isn't supposed to be the topic of the discussion. It was reported as not working by users, hence the original thread. It was a request for opinions from people who might actually have tried to work in Mxnet on Android.
Thanks. Pedro.
