Yes, you can. It's just another Android app. But the Home button (which Home button?) won't take you back to it. So what's the point of running an Android launcher on Sailfish, except maybe for running widgets?

Works flawlessly. I removed all the useless crap and ended up with only one page to launch the apps from. At the moment, while native apps are lacking, I'm spending 90% of my time inside the android emulator and just go back to Sailfish to make calls, check time, check calendar etc.

See the previous post
64GB microSD cards are actually SDXC cards so they require reformatting to use some other filesystem than exFAT. If I remember correctly some people in this thread have reported that SDXC cards formatted with ext4 work with Jolla.
Good news.

Terminal keyboard layout/colouring does not follow Sailfish OS's UI at all. Why is there no consistency here?

I use ES File Explorer and it has access up to root. It just opens up showing sdcard/
Or at least I can't find it with any Android app. Had to restart my phone today, wifi and 3g stopped working. Also, is it just me or does facebook and twitter never update on their own? Only if you manually press update?

Sailfish processes and apps run under nemo user (uid 100000) and Android apps run as another users (no usernames on /etc/passwd).
But the actual microSD card is in another location and apparently apps can't access it
/run is "virtual" filesystem (tmpfs) so it doesn't survive booting. You can try to give other users access the nemo's /run/user directory but it needs to be done again after boot or put in the system's startup scripts. This might have some negative security effects.
More safe way might be this:
devel-su
mkdir /home/nemo/sdcard
mount -o bind /run/user/100000/media/sdcard /home/nemo/sdcard
After that SD card is available as /home/nemo/sdcard for all apps including Android. This needs also to be done again after booting. This seems to work. I tested it with FBReader's Android version.

While a nice idea... it breaks the UI paradigm. The device is supposed to be fully usable w/one hand. This usually means 1 finger (since it takes 3 and thumb to support it in hand).
2 finger swipes make more sense not in conventional usage, but for extended usage in specific contexts.
certainly not any one with a larger 4 inch display (try to reach the upper left corner of the screen with your right thumb - it's not something you even try getting used to).
And you did say *fully* usable with one hand, right?
I see that working only as long as neither typing nor browsing is involved. pinch-to-zoom with just one hand? please show me!
How many people do you ever see typing with one hand (i.e. the same hand they are holding the device with)?Be honest: If your messages are longer than one phrase, you usually bother to employ the second hand as well, or postpone the typing to a situation where you have both hands available: true or false?
To me, completely one-handed usage of phones died with touchscreens (maybe due to the fact that my first touchscreen device was a N900 - but my next one, C7, is in no way better suited)...

When web page wants an access to GPS Browser app asks permission from the user.
Take a picture, save it. Edit it. Can you undo the edit? Is the original able to be saved apart from the edit?
Edit: in Camera app, but Gallery app has. See later post by Rauha.
What kinds of accessibility features are available? Contrast, font sizes, haptic feedback, etc.? What's missing? Can you figure out where you are on the device, if you started from the home screen, without looking or while squinting and the device is an arm's length away?
Brightness: Adjust automatically
Vibration for sounds
Touch screen vibration
No UI for font size settings.
Pulley menus are useable without seeing the screen if you remember the choices and their order for that screen/view/app.
Given the techie/open source bent, and even though there is no file manager app by default: how does the system handle ZIP/RAR/TAR files which come from downloads or being sent (Bluetooth, email, etc)? Can you view/extract the archive? Are you able to navigate to what you unpacked after its uncompressed? Are there processes which run/hang when you try to uncompress or view these kinds of compressed files?
On Terminal app you can find tar, gzip, bzip2 and unzip. There's no unrar or rar.
