Yes JNI is picking up the system versions. It didn't use your patched versions at all. On standalone JVM you would say -Djava.library.path=/libs/armeabi or modify environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On Android i guess you can either look up the system property java.library.path and put your libs in some known place (but before the folder where the system versions are) or actually modify the property - prepend the path to your local versions. I do have some experience with Android but not specifically with NDK.
