No, it should really matter. And as you wrote later:

Which means that your device focus is actually on tty1. And thus running
programs there should be detecting it just fine. I'm not actually even
sure what you call "console" in the end, actually. Are you perhaps
running some kind of fbterm software on top of it? I'm really at a loss
knowing how you are actually running things since that is apparently
completely departing from a common Linux system.

I was asking about enterTtyMode (which does take the tty parameter), not
enterTtyModeWithPath (which doesn't).

enterTtyMode does return an int on java too, that's what I was asking in
the case where it doesn't return an error but things don't work.
