It seems /dev/graphics/fb0 on the device and emulator behave differently. The following code snippet causes the emulator display to flash black and white, where as the dev only flashes slightly when important processes are killed.

#include

int
main ()
{

int fbdev;
uint16_t *fb;

fbdev = open ("/dev/graphics/fb0", O_RDWR);
fb = (uint16_t *) mmap (0, 320 * 480 * sizeof (uint16_t), PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fbdev, 0);

SDL runs on android emulator. Download SDL and compile with following options. You need to replace /dev/fb0 with /dev/graphics/fb0 in SDL_fbvideo.c or your app will return error no video device found.

I may have just figured out a way of lowering nitrates in my aquarium. Having viewed some commercial biological nitrate filters it is clear that to remove nitrates you need anaerobic bacteria. With a normal external canister filter that circulates water from the main tank at a relatively high rate you have too much oxygen for the anaerobic bacteria to thrive.
