For me, I'm connecting my Linux VM to an Android Emulator on the host, so:

```
$ cat $TMPDIR/netsim.ini
web.port=7681
grpc.port=49824
$ ssh -R localhost:49824:localhost:49824 jane.local
$ bumble-hci-bridge android-netsim:localhost:49824 vhci
```

I’ve almost got my virtual Meta Ray-Ban Display in the Android Emulator to pair with the Meta AI app:

On the app side, it fails with “connectivity::Identity: Identity failed with error: Device has sent generic failure message.”.

I got a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, and I've been trying to run its firmware in the Android Emulator:

Currently, in the emulator, the homescreen opens, just like the real device. However, most features tell me to pair with the Meta AI app, which I haven't gotten working yet.

OK, there we go: I got the Meta Ray-Ban Display's firmware to show its app grid on an Android Emulator. github.com/zhuowei/meta...
Unfortunately, most apps just ask to connect to the phone app.
So I need to get the virtual Bluetooth pairing working.

Actually, wait, I can launch some apps in the emulated Meta Ray-Ban Display
(github.com/zhuowei/meta...)
if I:
1) set `persist.vendor.meta.atc.enable_nexus=true` and
2) install an Android launcher such as Lawnchair github.com/LawnchairLau...
(Most don't run and I have to re-open Lawnchair from adb.)

I'm trying to boot the Meta Ray-Ban Display's firmware in an Android Emulator.

Firmware:
drive.google.com/file/d/1Wd-A...

I got to this screen, which Android shows if you're mixing vendor and system partitions.

I just get a blank screen after this.

My script is github.com/zhuowei/meta... .
