If you’re still looking at SDL-on-Android, you might want to check out
the Gingerbread SDK/NDK, which now provides a mechanism for native
apps that have access to libc, libm, libz, opengl|ES, opensl|ES,
input/events/sensors, app/activity lifecycle, resources, etc, without
the need to write any Java code. ?JNI is available for access to
higher level Java APIs in the platform.

Lots of fun stuff for native/game development in Gingerbread.

Nice news =)

My last try using the gles renderer with switched colours worked up to a
point. Maybe now it might fast all around since the main issue was the
egl swap buffers taking too much time for unknown reasons…
