I haven't myself tried(I don't have Nexus4) but what I have heard it works? :)

Installing Aliendalvik. Run Android apps
At one's own risk! For firmware based CM11
1. First, we need a very Aliendalvik and special package. a replacement script
Download( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B825SMyajjVibDl3MW9naVVCTFE/view )
Download( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B825SMyajjViQTRNeGo5WlBxN0k/view )

2. After downloading all of the components, we need to set Aliendalvik package.
This you can do via the terminal / SSH, connect to the device
devel-su
zypper in aliendalvik-1.0.46-1.armv7hl.rpm
Or just install .rpm package through the file manager. It can be found in Jolla Store

3. Thereafter, the script must be replaced in the system directory.
This you can do via the terminal / SSH, connect to the device
devel-su
systemctl stop aliendalvik
cp platform_extraenvsetup.sh /opt/alien/system/script/platform_extraenvsetup.sh
chmod + x /opt/alien/system/script/platform_extraenvsetup.sh
systemctl start aliendalvik

Now you can install APK application!
---

Removing Aliendalvik. If suddenly you do not like something
These steps must!
1. First, we need to disable the aliendalvik
devel-su
systemctl disable aliendalvik
2. Reboot your device
3. Remove the package
Otherwise, when you delete a package is possible to remove system and user data from the use of "bind mounts"

---
If you have problems with the link owners will be deleted. If something does not like, knock to the PM. Thank you

Russians ..:-) Is it restricted to Nexus 4? Let's try it.

Yes, not unlikely that it may work on other devices, but the scripts needs to be modified for sure.

Yeah, if it would install, I'd have thought that standard apps might work on other devices, but would start to fail with any that need to interact with any hardware.

For oneplusx you may need some xxxxxx.MSM8974.so blobs (https://github.com/Android-L-Porting-Team/Android-L-Mako/tree/master/working/system/lib/hw).

On my Jolla 1 platform_extraenvsetup.sh script points to msm8909.so files.

Looking at the build.prop it appears aliendalvik is running 4.4, so I followed Jolla C thread over https://together.jolla.com/question/114608/howto-install-gapps-gplay-google-play-kk-on-tablet-or-c/
Installs fine, but does not connect...I also tried jelly bean runtime with similar results. Search continues...

I have got google play store and google services working with this aliendalvik :)

To install google play store, google services and voice assistant follow this guide.
became root devel-su
Download this archive and extract it. http ++ ://bin.ge/dl/247451/SFOS-GAPPS-tar.gz.html (correct link i could not post link)
You will see APPS and GAPPS folders.
enter GAPPS folder and copy system folder with this command
cp -avR system/ /opt/alien/
and change permissions
chmod 664 /opt/alien/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
chmod 664 /opt/alien/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

then copy GmsCore.apk, Phonesky.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk here /opt/alien/system/priv-app
and chmod them with "chmod 664 full/path/to/these/files"
then install them
cd /opt/alien/system/priv-app
apkd-install Phonesky.apk

after this install updates they are located in APPS folder. There also are firefox and youtube apk if you want them. After install restart the phone. that's it. Google play and google services should work.

P.S. PM me if something goes wrong.

Thank you! Are apps like chrome fully functioning? How could I test it on a Nexus 5?
Seems it works only with CM11, I hope someone will port it to Nexus 5 with CM12 too

Install CM11 based Sailfishos using Multirom and test it on your Nexus 5, you might need to modify the scripts. I am pretty sure that it will not run with CM12 base.

First I would like to understand if there are advantages compared to sfdroid or not. Question for who is using this port on Nexus 4, are android applications able to play sounds? what about cpu usage?

I am using that Nexus 4 as a daily driver. Everything works well. Sound, games everything works like you have android device.
I used to use sfdroid but i did not like it. It felt like cheating :D
If you run any android app aliendalvik will start automatically, otherwise you should stop it because it well use RAM ~300-350 MB and battery.
Funny thing is Google apps like play store, services use more RAM then whole SFOS :D

About Nexus 5. I installed aliendalvik on nexus 5 too but it does not work. I press start and it stops immediately. First of all problems is that i have CM12.1 base on nexus 5. Sadly i can't download CM11 M11 for nexus 5 because CM is down. Thank god i had CM11 for nexus 4 and CM12.1 for nexus 5. at least nexus 5 works on Sailfish os. without CM12.1 i would not be able to install it.

If you know any source from where i can download CM11 M11 for nexus 5 please share I need cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip version.

If you have CM11 M11 version for nexus 5 please share.
Cyanogenmod is down and no one can get any version from their site.
So irresponsible from cyanogenmod. Why would they prevent us from using older ROMs? For which some of us have donated money. It's so sad :(

If it work's, does it really make sense to fall back to cm11? there are several advantages of cm12 base on nexus 5 as bluetooth stability etc and on the other hand mautz's cm13 base seems almost be ready .. Hoping for a rebase of aliendalvik seems to be nonsense, right?

Well I think that AlienDalvik on nexus4 is cheating because it is commercial, one is not paying for it and it is proprietary software. In the other hand sfdroid is opensource, free and made by awesome community members. :)

But i would like to pay anything up to 40$ for aliendalvik. They just do not sell it that's it. What should i do. I could not find jolla phone for a reasonable price to buy so i went this way and installed aliendalvik. sadly sfdroid is not as good as aliendalvik.

Did somebody already try it with Nexus 5 (with cm11 base of course?) I have N5 with cm11 based sailfish installed, i could try AlienDalvik before i move on to cm12, 12,1 or 13 based sailfish and sfdroid.

Try if you are already on CM11. Just tell us if it starts from settings -> android support. And if any apk installs. That would be great.

I believe the .sh tells alien where to find some N4 libraries, I was assuming this would need to be updated to point to N5 parts. I believe if this was updated, it could work...

I searched in sh file and found some lines pointing directly to nexus 4 libs.
I searched for some libs in my nexus 5 and edited sh file. But i did not find some libs because i have base CM 12.1 on my nexus 5, but as google said that libs should be there on 4.4 AKA CM 11.
For example i did not find /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg file. But when i searched google i found this line:

/system/lib/egl/egl.cfg, which contains something like this (from a Nexus 5 running KK 4.4)

Amen.

If I ever needed to run Android applications (which fortunately I don't) this would be the way to do it.

pichlo

2017-02-06, 09:04

Agreed.

On the other hand, matemana has a point. I may ruffle some feathers by saying that but, as a general rule, based on my 15 years of experience with open-source software, when I have a choice between a professional product and something bashed together by someone in his spare time in his bedroom, I go for the former. The quality of the vast majority of open-source software is abysmal, especially in the applications domain. Stability issues, lack of QA, lack of documentation, poorly designed UI, missing or half-baked features...

There are notable exceptions, of course. I use OpenOffice (or Free or Libre or whatever the current flavour of the month is) over the MS equivalent. It is nowhere near as polished but it is good enough for my humble needs. The same goes for Avidemux. It crashes 4 times out of 5 but I can put up with it, which I would not if I had to use it professionally.

I have never used Sfdroid and I am happy to believe that it may be different. A lot of open-source systems or server applications are just as good as their commercial counterparts, if not better. Apache is a good example. Sfdroind looks like it may fall into this category.

But I can understand matemana's and other users' skepticism.

claustn

2017-02-06, 09:18

I agree with you, but every user here want to try new things on his/her smartphone. If it works I will give a try; I'm currently using sfdroid only for Whatsapp (I open it just 2/3 times a day) and I would like to try Alien Dalvik instead (for audio/microphone and file manager integration).

I can confirm aliendalvik works with changes i made in it on nexus 5 running 1.1.9.28 CM11 base.
Now i'll try installing google play store and google play services.

I have 2.0.4.13 version installed and it does not install aliendalvik.
It freezes on Installing packages.
I tried updating to 2.0.5.6 on a fresh install whole night it was doing update but in the morning it was frozen on 82 %. I force rebooted and it did not even boot. ****ING REFLESH AGAIN. WTF is wrong with update? How did you update to 2.0.5.6 can you post commands?

For now aliendalvik does work on my 2.0.4.13 but i tried google play services and aliendalvik does not start after just coping needed files in /opt/alien/ folder. But i did same with my nexus 4 and it works great.

P.S. Camera does not work for me.

Please refer to the Nexus 5 thread regarding upgrade issues, most of us are struggling with OTA.

Can you play video files?

You should search for this same libs as in the sh file. For example egl.cfg is in /system/lib/egl folder in CM11 but as you see it's in /vendor/lib/egl/ folder in CM12. It should be in the same place if you use CM12.

P.S.
I am now modifying aliendalvik.rpm to include this sh file in it. also editing build.prop for screen density. Nexus 4 and nexus 5 have different dencity and everything is smaller with this aliendalvik on nexus 5. Of course you can edit it after installation but i like simple things. I will generate aliendalvik.rpm for nexus 4 & nexus 5. If you want give me sh file for your device and i'll generate that too. Because it's easier to install just one rpm then after installation stop service copy file change mods on that file and start service :)

You should search for this same libs as in the sh file. For example egl.cfg is in /system/lib/egl folder in CM11 but as you see it's in /vendor/lib/egl/ folder in CM12. It should be in the same place if you use CM12.

You will find the changes here, note that its almost the same, except, cameri lib and a missing libplayback_adreno.so

These changes, however, does not work as-is

That script wont work for a couple of reasons,
there is no camera.onyx.so
and there is no libplayback_adreno.so

so how should i determine where are the missing files ?
I mean i cannot see them in the cm zip. looks like they are all packed under .dat file.
any suggestions for this ? i found and verified rest of the files though.

Do you run with devel-su?

I'll make aliendalvik package for your device too, i do not have onyx so i'll use your sh file (i can't check if it works or not).
Please tell me if /vendor/lib/egl/egl.cfg exists on your device, because if it does not i'll create it from rpm, so you will not have to make anything after installing aliendalvik.

for me (opx) is this thee files missing. I dont know if its really needing. On Turing Phone doesnt existing the three files and i cant find egl.cfg on turing phone

libplayback_adreno.so is not exisiting (and probably not needed since CM12)

The two other libs are in
lib/libmemalloc.so
lib/libqdutils.so

However, the full path if you want to 'see' them on the filesystem is

/system/lib/libmemalloc.so
/system/lib/libqdutils.so

It is relative paths in the script, starting by /system folder

Here is aliendalvik. No need for sh script nor you have to create that vendor/lib/egl/egl.cfg. Screen density problem is fixed N4 has 720p 320 ppi and N5 & OPX 1080p i set Density to 480 in build.prop (yes i know that N5 has 445.03 ppi :D but 480 is default in android too)

I made this based on nieldks post about modified sh script for OPX. I do not have that device so i do not know if this will work, but i can confirm that what i changed does work on nexus 5 though. So if that sh script is correct for OPX this rpm should just work.

Please try it and let me know if it works

I tried it with that CM11 but i had to install SFOS 1.1.9.28 then with little modification to sh script for aliendalvik now it runs on CM12.1 BASE too on Nexus 5. Though i could not install Play services and play store, but apks are working and fdroid is working too.

To run it on Nexus 5 do I have just to install the file you built? But it might not work with Sailfish 2.0.1.1 right?

the problem is that i was able to complete all the mentioned step successfulyy but the aliendalvik still faild to start.

EDIT :

i get this error while installing the RPM -

Problem: nothing provides /system/bin/sh needed by aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl
Solution 1: do not install aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl
Solution 2: break aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl by ignoring some of its dependencies

Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: nothing provides /system/bin/sh needed by aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl
Solution 1: do not install aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl
Solution 2: break aliendalvik_OPX-1.0.46-1.armv7hl by ignoring some of its dependencies

i did "devel-su ls system/bin" and i can see sh being present there :/
My bad, I forgot to disable autoreq when making rpm for OPX. You can Just ignore it. I'll fix that.

Oh well, it still won't start.
Maybe something is wrong with the env file maybe.

In theory yes but what i uploaded is for OPX, here is for Nexus 5
Tested working. Please reboot the phone after installing this.

First of all, thank you! Dalvik installed correctly with your build, I can see the android support setting but how can I install an app? If I open it in a file manager or after downloading it nothing happen. I already rebooted once.

Make sure android support starts. Enter that menu and click start. If it starts stop button should highlight.
You can intsall apk from file manager, after you click on apk click install from dropdown menu. wait for 1 minute at max, or you can install from terminal
apkd-install "/apk/path"

It should print boolean true and after that install an app.

I fixed that error, but if it still does not work on OPX that's probably that sh files fault. I can't help with this, i do not have OPX. As i can see it's CM12 differs from what i have on my Nexus 5.

Here is fixed version for OPX (still does not work because of /opt/alien/system/script/platform_extraenvsetup.sh) If someone fixes library problems it should work on OPX too.

Let me get this straight. The purpose of this thread is to kick Android off the Nexus 4 and install Sailfish on it, then go through the whole series of loops and awkward steps, only to... run Android on it? :confused:

Not only on Nexus 4 also Nexus 5 and there is some info about OPX and some about running aliendalvik on Nexus 7 too, but it's not about running android on them it's about running android apps on them. Trust me, no one in this thread would ever even speak about android if SFOS had the same apps, especially the most used ones.

P.S. i would appreciate if someone modified name of this thread. It's not just Nexus 4 It runs on Nexus 5, Nexus 7, (OPX has some problems but i believe it's some library issues) maybe it will run on some other ports too if modified correctly. sadly i can't test it. I have only N4 & N5 and i can confirm this works on both of them. On N4 i even have play store and play services :)

I searched the internet for that missing library file for OPX. It seems some people needed them too. I downloaded CM11 for OPX made img file from system.dat and pulled out that missing library and included in this latest package but it did not help.

I have got it working on Nexus 4 though and created package for it too. On Nexus 4 i have 2 packages. Aliendalvik and gapps. If you install them that's it everything works.

Oh and you remember your output, when it said that could not creat links to /system/vendor/lib/egl/egl.cfg and so on some files.

Though aliendalvik is somehow working a lot of apps do not have sound (gl tron, tuxrider) or video playback (webtube). For the latter i don't have a positive example yet. Other apps crash when interacting (bushido). Try out those of f-droid.

Suprising that sensors work too.

At last, i finished rpms for Nexus 4.
Now here are just 2 rpms. You must install aliendalvik first, gapps second.
does not need reboot. After installing aliendalvik just stop aliendalvik service from settings -> android support and install gapps
aliendalvik - https://mega.nz/#!1V0RWBwK!jvyid9IWQBzROkkomodCNY4BjM9dsgt-ZOQEm6kI0pk
gapps - https://mega.nz/#!tY8UEL6T!lx7H0TKCBhdU4uHa-qH2eHuQicSnGCczfF9H7lsSi08

After all installed just restart aliendalvik once. That's it. Tried on my second Nexus 4 with CM 11 SFOS 2.0.5.6 everything worked like a charm on fresh install. On fresh install just run devel-su pkcon update.

Now i'm trying to make google play work on Nexus 5 too.

What typo? You mean in the script you posted on page 6? I compared it to orginal source and only then included in rpm for OPX.

What do you think, why are those files needed? When we had that issues with Nexus 5 too aliendalvik still worked, but did not work on OPX. I do not know what's happening. maybe it's related to the files aliendalvik uses? If you open it's build.prop you can see it's meant for CM11 base it says 4.4.4, but we are using it on CM12.1 base 5.1.1. Maybe we should edit build.prop properly? Do you think it will help to work correctly on Nexus 5 and on OPX? I could not make camera work on nexus 5 and some apps do not have sound, gogle chrome does not work at all.

BluesLee

2017-02-12, 10:20

The typo was with egl.conf instead of egl.cnf, i corrected the post but as your test showed it doesn't matter.

Don't know how to proceed from here, i am trying to look into logs. As the apps i mentioned are opensource one can have a look what libs they use, GL stuff etc

CM11 / Nexus 5 test is good to see what's going on, if CM base is essential or not.

Do you know how to repair sound in android (I've got sound in sailfish apps) - which config files, logs should I check?

Uncheck android support at startup and run it after system boots. It helped me to get sound in some of applications.

How can I do this (uncheck android support at startup)?

Can you give me some examples of apps (with working audio)?

Nothing if you don't use any Adroid app (or very few)

for me it takes ~180-190 MB but i also have google play store and google play services installed. I measured just aliendalvik and it used basically nothing.

Nexus5 here with cm12.1 and sfos 2.0.5.6.
Looks like its running but i fail to get any apk to install or run.
No error message i can identify but also no action when tried from File-Browser and cli apkd-install as nemo and root.
Any idea how to solve?
BTW, massive kudos to everyone involved in this nicely collaborated hack!

Thanks a lot!
I did not mention that i had sfdroid installed. Maybe that caused the trouble.
I ended up reflashing on cm12.1 and installed AD first before OTA up from packaged 2.0.1.11.
Works nicely now, lets see if it survives OTA to 2.0.5.6.

I tried it with 2.0.4.13. Here i will link you packaged version of that SFOS try installing it.
https://mega.nz/#!hJ1hACJK!f20J3-qKxKVjgVKeIf6Sq1Id4j37M6ta8H_6u5uagVY

I tried upgrade to 2.0.5.6 but it fails. I know that 82% workaround. When you need to force restart delete previous package and continue upgrade but it did not work. So i am on 2.0.4.13 now.

You don't delete the package where it hangs you should reinstall it with 'zypper in --force'. But OTA on the Nexus sometimes doesn't work due to this dbus bug.

I don't mean that
the problem I face is in in platform_extraenvsetup.sh located in /opt/alien/system/script i editing paths
to the right location as you know I have two paths for lib folder
so which one?
if i choose alien dalvik as example than i most move library to same location.

/opt/alien/system/lib/hw/ (cm base with sfos)

/system/lib/hw/ (Alien Dalvik)

The question:
Did I need to copy " gralloc.msm8974.so" to first path with cm-base
or second path for alien dalvik?

I editing platform_extraenvsetup.sh and save .

notice that :
As you know oneplus one have diff base cm12.1 not similar nexus 4,5 device with cm11.

Finally Many problems I face I don't know if libray work with me I face many black screen display , freeze, hang,
(window for android app minimize by itself), also any simple games like 3d or 2td not working at all.

Thank you

The one thing that is working perfectly is navigation with Google Maps and Here We Go though.
Enogh for my needs to have a Sailfish device with decent navigation \o/

To solve the remaining issue, do we need to root AD to look into logs? If not, where to acquire meaningfull android logs?

There is open gapps (https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/opengapps-pico-installer). You would need to look around how to get it onto your device.

On N5, i was lazy and went with installing google Maps from playstore and not declining automatic play-service install attempt.

i confirm i have same issues with video playbacks and some apps, but this same gapps package works fine on my nexus 4. The only diff between my n4 and n5 is that i have cm11 base on my n4. on this weekend i'll try this gapps on my n5 with base cm11 and then i'll have some answers if it will work like it does on my n4.

I was so curious what would happen if i install my aliendalvik.rpm and my gapps on nexus 5 with base CM11. I had to install SFOS 1.1.29.8. I did it 30 minutes ago.
Aliendalvik installed without a problem, Gapps installed but when it asks you to install 3 apks at the end it installed just one of it Google play. Then i installed manually
1 GoogleLoginService.apk
2 GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3 GmsCore.apk

which are in here /opt/alien/system/priv-app
and guess what?

Youtube works well WITH SOUND. Camera works too

So something is wrong with the base CM12.1 that's why sound does not work in youtube app (and some others too) in aliendalvik with CM12.1 base and works for me now on CM11 base.

Great findings but i guess no one will install cm11 for this purpose. We need to know the reasons why sound etc don't work and why it doesn't work at all with cm13.

How to get logs?
I dug down the rooting rabbithole but did not find an answer for alien dalvik 4.4.4.
All methods involve adb.
Journalctl only tells me about AD start.

Maybe stracing the scripts that get started by aliendalvik.service and compare the output of the different cm versions.

(Sorry for slight OT)

I don't believe so.
matemana is the main driver for this, and does not have an opx device. He did provide an experimental package for opx but it does not start AD.
Given that SFOS port is based on CM12.1, it may be suffering from similar issues as the N5+CM12.1.

It looks like folks on the OnePlus One SFOS thread at the OnePlus forums have made some progress with the OPO (some of it works, but buggy, apparently). I do not know enough to know how relevant that is for getting AlienDalvik to work on the OPX, though.

Looks like AD has issues with Base 12.1 we have some issues on Nexus 5 too but it at least starts. I tried copying these lib files from CM11 base on Nexus 5 but it did not work. On the other hand CM11 base works without issues on Nexus 5. Sorry guys but there is not much thing i can do. AD needs rebase. Maybe there will be another leak of upgraded AD. Sony devices will have AD officialy and i think it will be upgraded. All we now can is just wait.

in yout log this is not good i guess.

Nevermind i got it to run now. :)
I tore up the build prop and found this line
ro.alien.native_media_control=true
and i changed it to
ro.alien.native_media_control=false
Also i made changes to Dalvik heap sizes and now its working.
I'm running tests now. I recommend other users to check their build.props inside alien/system directory to debug

EDIT: apkd-install gives me boolean false :(
Has anyone fixed this?
EDIT 2: Aliendalvik failed after a reboot :( I'm exhausted now. I'll try after a break
EDIT 3: Dependencies missing.

AD is now running
I installed Fdroid via apkd-install and the apk is now present inside /opt/alien/data/app/incoming.
HOWEVER it's not present in the app drawer. Any body encountered/fixed this?

You might want to update your device first. You are running Sailfish OS version 1.1.1.27, which is more than two years old. The latest version is 2.0.5.6: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_mako

Make sure android support starts. Enter that menu and click start. If it starts stop button should highlight.
You can intsall apk from file manager, after you click on apk click install from dropdown menu. wait for 1 minute at max, or you can install from terminal
apkd-install "/apk/path"

It should print boolean true and after that install an app.

I got boolean true and what is the next step in detail please

what device do you have?
after you get boolean it must install app and that app should be visible in app drawer. you can install android apps from file manager too.

I can confirm aliendalvik works with changes i made in it on nexus 5 running 1.1.9.28 CM11 base.
Now i'll try installing google play store and google play services.

try this version in oneplus one maybe it give chance to aviod the problems like freeze and minimize screen app backgroubd and hang.

after you get boolean it must install app and that app should be visible in app drawer. you can install android apps from file manager too.

I installed SFOS 2.0.2.51 base CM12.1 on Nexus 4 and aliendalvik has the same issues as in Nexus 5 with base CM12.1. Youtube does not work, video playback does not work, Google chrome does not work, google assistant does not work. But Camera does work! That's nice, but without video playback it's useless. Firefox crashes. It seems when it needs GPU acceleration it crashes.

So we are screwed if we change base for Nexus 4. We no longer will be able to use aliendalvik until it's rebase. I can't do that :(

How can I launch an Android program from terminal?

I've played with apkd-launcher, but I don't understand what to do.

"Usage: apkd-launcher <apkfile> <package>/<activity>"

How can I find which activity to request?

The program I'm trying to run is XServer-XSDL, installed from Google Play.
The .apk file appears to be located at /opt/alien/data/app/x.org.server-1.apk

2017-03-25, 12:01

Try:
apkd-launcher /opt/alien/data/app/x.org.server-1.apk x.org.server/x.org.server.MainActivity

As I can see f.e. the VirusTotal lists app's activities:

No necessity, just mere curiosity. I messed around with a few things including tinkering with your package for the Jolla 1, and manually installing supersu. I even tried kingroot (eww...). However, I haven't been able to get anywhere.

The main thing I wanted was the f-droid privileged extension to ease auto-updating. However, i was able to install it without rooting alien by copying the apk to /opt/alien/system/priv-app, changing permissions, and using apkd-install.

try this package, but before you do backup this file '/system/bin/su'

https://mega.nz/#!0c1DHQhD!wZA8RS7hmU_4cEam9VEYSIs_mEOWiOYIGrAVAa3 3yhQ

I was trying yo get root in my aliendalvik. I was able to run kernel manager (which needs root) with root priviledges. Although root checkers said device was not rooted, But actual programs that need root did work.

Did you already try to get AD working on N5 with the CM13 base?
Not CM13 base but AD working well on N5 with CM12 base. There're something not working as mention before (ie. Video playback, youtube) but I can live with that.

Now I want to root AD to get some awesome apps running.

Can I ask if I use this file to install alien dalvik on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with SailfishOS ?

bnwg

2017-07-22, 19:17

Just find out if aliendalvik is successfully installed and can be start, android_storage will be created under /home/nemo/ with all the essential folders like Document, Download, etc plus priv-app folder. This is the case for N5 with CM11 SFOS 1.1.9.28 and CM12 SFOS 2.0.4.13.

If aliendalvik is installed and cannot be start, android_storage will still be created but just with priv-app folder, missing all the other folders.

This is the case for OnePlusX CM12 SFOS 2.0.5.6 and N5 CM13 SFOS 2.1.0.10

Hi @matemana! Thanks for your very good work with ad! I ask you if you can update ad (alienD 1.0.63) with the new one released for the Jolla c! I see it in New sailfish 2.1.1.23 update.
Thanks
Ps: I have nexus 5 and xiaomi mi4 with sailfishos

Can you check if ad is rebased or does it still use android KK as it's base? If it's not changed i think there is no point in updating ad.

If it will be leaked on any forums i will look into it no matter it's rebased or not. Hopefully it will fix some issues what we have on nexus 5 and other devices with base other then CM11

For my understanding is Aliendalvik Kernel depended.

I have Aliendalvik 1.0.48 from the Touring Phone compiled for Kernel 3.4.0

And I have the new Aliendalvik 1.0.63 from the Jolla C compiled for Kernel 3.10

Is there an option to upgrade the components of the 3.4.0-compiled AlienDalvik with the newer updates from the 1.0.63 Package ?

Or is it only my ill phantasy? ;-)

I have not compiled aliendalvik ever. I just changed some files and rebuild whole package. If there were sources of it it would be much easier to make aliendalvik run on different devices. I did not have nexus phones for months and yesterday i got my nexus 4 from ebay. Turns out someone has made SF run on CM13 base on nexus 4 i'll try it and i'll check if AD works there.
