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'
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.

i have try root package from openstore but i don't no that alien dalvik that can't detected status if the device rooted or not .
that strange, i try your package and see what happen .
Sorry, i didn't find a better thread than this one. Running Android apps on Sailfish might be fine, it would be even better to have a newer Sailfish base. So- could anyone help this guy porting version 2.1 to Mako ?

I'm not successful installing this root package. Error msg as below.
Installation of alienroot-0.1-1 failed:

I'm installing on Nexus 5 running CM12.1 SFOS 2.0.4.13
Appreciate if someone can guide me thru. Thanks.
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
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.
