Can't run simple template-based app on Android on linux

[xentopos]

On Fedora Linux 24, can't run an unmodified app created from a template on Android via emulator: emulator screen is blank. The node process also doesn't respond to ctrl+C, have to send it sigkill from another terminal. Ctrl + \ does work to kill node, but the emulator needs to be killed from the terminal.

So, the workstation I'm using has an AMD Phenom II, which lacks SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, etc.

So, this was actually caused by the emulator's refusal to run images w/ API higher than 22 without SSSE3 mentioned here:

Closing this.
