Sharing progress on a project isn't always about showing things working 100%. Sometimes, it helps to show how things are still very broken so others can understand the work involved.
This is one of those cases. Android thinks I have 2 primary displays and is super confused when I try and launch an app from secondary displays desktop mode... So it just quits...
