For getting redroid running on my Linux system, 3.8 Flash decided to binary patch a .so file instead of getting the AOSP source code and patch/build it properly.

And I saw it do this twice, once for Android 14 and once for Android 16.

I think this is just within 3.8 flash's capabilities.

3.8 Flash (but also last two ones) have really strong preference for dissecting binaries with quick thrown-together bits of python in my experience.

Including going first for decompiling AGY binary instead of searching the web for documentation...

Astra also really loves reverse engineering binaries. I guess it's one of those things that isn't that complicated but is super tedious, and tedium means nothing to AI.
