Oh thank you. It makes my day. It's so funny :-D
And I managed to make it works! Thanks Christoph.

I tested it with all ROMs and KMLs (I used Eric's ones at hpcalc.org for 32SII, 14B and 19BII). It generally works, but I could identify the following problems:
1/Sometimes loading a kml would systematically fail, with an error on loading the .kmi file. I first thought it was a case sensitivity problem in the filename, but this didn't help. But exiting the app and relaunching it made it work. Very strange.
2/Sometimes when you try to load a kml, the current one has the LCD color go blue, or even the characters reversed, like a mirror. Very strange as well.
3/The 32SII and 14B scripts, which work fine on PC, do not work properly. The annunciators are sticky, you never know whether the next key is going to be shifted or not..
4/Generally speaking the KMLs and skins would need adaptation for Android. The 28S and 19BII are not usable on a phone, too small. Would need to be broken in 2 parts with toggling, like go28s does. Not sure it is possible with KMLs. Even the other calcs have a lot of wasted space, the keys are small.
5/It does not seem that macros are implemented ? Would be terrific to import 17/27/19 formulas !

Thanks again and cheers

Thank you very much for the report.
I was already trying to fix the 32SII and 14B graphic issues when I saw your post. It is because the display function is different and uses a still unimplemented win32 function.
I will try to address all those issues 1), 2) and 3).
4) For now, I think I could add a landscape mode, but I may add a simple horizontal swipe when in portrait mode. There is the same issue with Emu71!
5) The macros are not implemented yet. If I implement it, it will be available for Emu48, Emu42 and Emu71 (for Android)!

The source code for Emu42 for Android is available here: https://github.com/dgis/emu42android

I just tried to port Emu71 without the ports (RAM/ROM/HPIL) and it reveals some new timers problems in my win32 layer (not yet on Github)!
