The android version cannot be compiled on windows, as it is a Linux based OS.

Erk.. If it's true i would have to find a kind soul to compile the apk for me, otherwise i'm good for a complete install just to test a fix Sad

This was my understanding. If you know how to compile it on windows be my guest to explain, but I have no knowledge of how to do it.

I've made an android app on windows before, so I know they aren't only able to be compiled on linux

It's possible to build the Android APKs under Windows. It's just not very clear how to do so.
I'm not a Windows developer so I've never quite figured out how to do it.

Someone has left me a cmake command to building the JNI. No idea what is needed beyond that.

Quote:cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM="%ANDROID_NDK%\prebuilt\windows\bin\make.exe" -DANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a with NEON" -DANDROID_FORCE_ARM_BUILD=ON -DANDROID=True -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-14 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../Source/Android/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_NAME=arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 ..

No one ?

This fix can really speed up dolphin on mobile devices

It would probably make more sense to post a Diff of your changes (or post a link to your repository on GitHub, Bitbucket or wherever) for someone to look at, rather than putting the whole source for download.

Other than what Sonic already said, the rest should be the plain old compilation of the Java parts and packing to APK using either Gradle (the build system thingy) or an appropriate IDE (such as Android Studio). Never successfully built Dolphin for Android myself tho; but I'd guess that other than the Native JNI parts, the command line invocations should be the same as for every other OS.
