/proc can not be accessed on Android 8 and newer. Do you think, that you could write a little native .so library to overcome that?

Do you think, that it would be possible to write some native .so library, which would allow users on Android 7 and newer to access /proc folder? There are some attempts to overcome that but those attemtps only contain some predefined info about processes, but not real data from running system. As A result, Libreoffice binary refuse to run on Android 8 and newer. But I have heart, that this protection is too strong, that it is build deep in Android OS and can not be overcomed even from C running app or native .so binary.

As A paradox, Android 66.0 have been The best version for experimenting with Proot and Linux distros. But there are not many advanced users, who would simply download Android 6.0, compile whole ANdroid on their PCS, flash it to their systems which run newer ANdroid version. There are not many users who would be able to write kernel device drivers for all chips on their boards from scratch to Android 6.0. Hackers are developing various firmwares, but those firmwares always do not contain all kernel device drivers for BLuetooth chips, sound chip, etc.
