Hi.
Someone can explain me how to detect if my tablet is real or not ?
I have a strange situation here.. As far as I know tablet should be x86 architecture. But what with Aliendalvik ?
As example we can use Kodi app to see if it work or not. A few days ago I opened this thread about installation of Kodi app (https://together.jolla.com/question/132791/how-to-install-kodi-app-on-your-jolla-tablet/). And the result was that I can install and use kodi-14.2-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk instead x86 package that I can install, but can't use (app crashed on start).
Can someone with real tablet (got from Jolla, not from Taobao) check if he can install and use x86 version or it possible only with armeabi-v7a like on my device.

Also I have game named TempleRun2 from Google play. When I installed it and start in the first time, it said me I need Google Play Games installed and pointed me with Google play to this package. Installed without any problem, but now, every time when I start TempleRun2, I get this notification from Google Play Games:

Google Play Games (icon)
Wrong architecture
Play Games has been installed with an architecture (x86) which is different from your device architecture (armeabi-v7a)

The game itself work without any problem. Can it be problem because of Google Play store ? Or what the problem ?
Thanks

As the architecture of the original tablet is x86, it should have a BIOS like any other *86 standard PC. To check this, connect a USB keyboard and press F2 while loading.

i think the aliendalvik does something wrong in the package installer for android apps. the environment it self is not an emulator; AnTuTu identifies the cpu as x86. (if you worry about what your hardware is try to enable the developer mode, open terminal and type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" (followed by return) :) )

I don't have usb keyboard to check...
Here is output http://pastebin.com/bAszFJtp
From this:

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
model name      : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU  Z3735F @ 1.33GHz

I understand it yes x86, I'm right ? That mean the problem came from aliendalvik...
codeandcreate, did you tried to install Kodi ?

P.S. Antutu also show me Quad-core x86
And Android version 4.4.4 (32-bit)
Android SDK version 19 (Android 4.4.x)

My aliendalvik in tablet have same problems with x86 packages. You can try to exchange abi and abi2 in build.prop, but no idea if it will make a magic. Tablet architecture itself is x86 if course :)
