I think this is correct as we need to port custom Java functions of every APK into modules in order to get then working.

One thing I should add is that ApkEnv natively sets up OpenGL viewport(?) for modules and this means that we can only run OpenGL based games with ApkEnv. For this reason Android UI applications that don't use OpenGL cannot be run inside ApkEnv.
I am not sure if it is possible to make fork of ApkEnv that would support UI elements.
