1. First, we need a very Aliendalvik and special package. a replacement script

Download( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B82...o5WlBxN0k/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

Code:

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

Code:

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

Code:

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

Well, kuba77 could have reponded to "Is it restricted to Nexus 4? Let's try it." – even if it's a unlikely.

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.

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