Loading shared libraries provided by another app is not an issue at all. No need

to root (jail-break is an iPhone expression ;).
When an app installs, the .so files that it bundles are automatically extracted

to the application data directory. And this directory can be accessed by other

apps. You can directly System.load() it from Java or dlopen() it from C.
It's as simple as that, and according to the discussion I had with Android lead

developers, there's no reason that this changes.
