I am unable to know what is wrong with the openGl? Kitkat is running fine on my device when I tried lollipop i am getting this issue

Answer 1

this is because no OpenGL ES libraries found in either /system/lib/egl or /vendor/lib/egl

Answer 2

Adding to colordancer's answer, here is the line which reports the fatal error:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/+/android-7.0.0_r1/opengl/libs/EGL/Loader.cpp#229

This is due to it not finding EGL ES libs in the /vendor or the /system partition.

Currently,

libEGL.so
libGLESv2.so
libGLESv1_CM.so

These are the available EGL ES libs for Android.

Solution: Simply find the file from the stock rom and put it in the ROM and check if it proceeds. If yes, you can add it to the vendor prebuilts. If not, there might be some other issue

Notes Currently on my OnePlus 2, running my halogenOS build, has the following stuff:

In /vendor

root@:/vendor # busybox find . | grep egl                                  
./lib/egl
./lib/egl/eglSubDriverAndroid.so
./lib/egl/libEGL_adreno.so
./lib/egl/libGLESv1_CM_adreno.so
./lib/egl/libGLESv2_adreno.so
./lib/egl/libQTapGLES.so
./lib/egl/libq3dtools_adreno.so
./lib/egl/libq3dtools_esx.so
./lib64/egl
./lib64/egl/eglSubDriverAndroid.so
./lib64/egl/libEGL_adreno.so
./lib64/egl/libGLESv1_CM_adreno.so
./lib64/egl/libGLESv2_adreno.so
./lib64/egl/libQTapGLES.so
./lib64/egl/libq3dtools_adreno.so
./lib64/egl/libq3dtools_esx.so

And, in /system
