Added poll here:

Seems if you wipe existing Android app data a lot of things work, but not camera and possibly video acceleration is broken and some issues to solve.

I have a Jolla because I don't want to use centralized privately-controlled profiling advertisement channels like Twitter. Otherwise I'd have gotten myself an Android a long time ago.

Anyway. I'd still be interested. Not having camera isn't a fatal issue in many cases, as you often can select a photo from the gallery. I.e. take picture with native camera app, use picture in Android app.

I guess having both 4.1 and 4.4 installed, and choose at install of the APK which one to use, is too much trouble? ;)

If only this was in any way reliable - frequently I will take pictures with the native camera app (J1 this is), or save things in the native browser and they'll be nowhere to be seen in the Android side. I restart dalvik, restart the phone, which I think has occasionally worked (sometimes the pic appears in the middle of all the pics, maybe to do with datestamps?), but sometimes I just have to forcibly "share to Android" from the native gallery as it simply doesn't appear in Android gallery pickers/views ever.

This place is too full of blowhards that talk a lot, deliver very little and want too damn much with rarely doing anything.

Simply put, a poll for something, even out of curiosity has brought forward commentary about social media. Thanks for stating it - nobody who wants Android 4.4 cares.

Feh. Would I want the update to Android 4.4, yes. Should it have already been offered? Yes. Would people stop talking about how they don't even use Android enough to allow those folks that may want/use/have need for it to be heard... not a chance.

Unpopular opinion? Yes.

That is easy. If you have a spare $100 or $200, buy a mid-range android phone.

If you have a spare $100k or $200k. Invest it to Jolla, it may happen. Or even they can share you with some private testing version.

If you have no money, code it yourself.

If you have no money nor time, why would they do it? The phone has already been discontinued. Why would any sensible party spend time and money and effort on this???!

Quite. It's like the vegan stereotype but with people who don't use Android applications. Instead of someone going to a steak restaurant to proclaim "hey, did you know that I'm a vegan?", it's someone going to threads specifically and exclusively about Android applications to proclaim "hey, did you know I don't use Android applications?".

You are forgetting that you are in a vegetarian restaurant that has introduced some meat dishes on their menu in a misguided attempt to attract more customers. And when you stand up and demand an upgrade from a 8 oz steak to 12 oz, you act surprised when someone from the table next to you gently taps on your shoulder and asks, "did you realize that there is a steak house right next door?"

No, because the support for Android applications has been one of the big selling points of Sailfish OS since the very beginning.
