    I am pretty sure that -- prior to 10.2 being released -- it was stated that the Android runtime in 10.2 would support hardware acceleration. However, in this post

    Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Android Runtime improvements are coming with BlackBerry 10.2.1 | CrackBerry.com

    on 10.2.1.1055+, B1aze states that "this particular update brings hardware acceleration". This suggests that no current 10.2.0.xxxx builds support it. So the question is: Does the Android runtime in 10.2.0.1791 have hardware acceleration or not?

    Does anyone with some inside technical knowledge of the runtimes care to shed some light on this?

    Thanks!

    That same article formerly said that this would update the runtime to 4.2.2, so I'd stick with just what the dev blog says.

    With that in mind, hardware acceleration has been in since 10.2.0. 1791's got it.

    Thanks for the info! I was hoping to hear the current runtime didn't have acceleration though (since even with acceleration it doesn't run as fast as I'd like).

    My hope is that eventually BlackBerry can get Android apps on the Z10 to run as fast as they do on the Galaxy S3 (which has almost identical hardware) .

    Cheers
