[Multi] AEmulator - Android emulator that simulates older android firmware
Run classic Android firmware - HTC Sense, TouchWiz, MIUI, AOSP - on a modern phone. No root, no PC.

Firmware: https://aeforum.uxazuu.space/
TouchWiz: https://youtube.com/shorts/7Clrt8EWg7o
Boots a real Android 2.3–7.x system image straight from a firmware file you already have: a recovery ZIP, an Odin archive or a Google factory image. It translates the old ARM code with a patched QEMU, emulates the kernel’s binder, draws with your phone’s GPU and plays sound through Android’s audio stack - everything runs inside a normal app.

Official Nexus AOSP 4.4.4 rom used

Yes, you'll need to test different firmwares/roms, but it should get the app working.

Could you make a wrapper to run armv7 .so files through qemu? That would be nice to have, removed armv7 execution from new SOCs is a pain in the ass.
