shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

If someone is interested to poke, port(currently it's x86 AFAIK) or whatever and haven't heard about it — http://www.shashlik.io/news/2016/02/...buntu-package/

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

Was looking at porting it to Sailfish, but not until after sfdroid.

But shashlik actually runs android emulator, what the point to have it on device?

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

A major refactoring is underway, so wait a while.

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

For pure (libhybris-less) ports.

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

Now that Sony announced mainline Linux kernel for Xperia devices it is possible to make pure Sailfish/Nemo/etc. ports to them. :)

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

Exactly why I was looking at porting Shashlik. That and I'm hoping to get the yet unannounced Xperia Z6. I want a phone with a multi-level pressure touchscreen panel (for developmental purposes, there's no way I'm getting the Mate S that thing is huge). Although I don't particularly want to wait till September time for the Xperia Z6, there isn't really any phones out that I'm interested in getting, and I'm hoping the Z6 changes that and comes with a force touch like touch panel, and has the design cues of the X performance, LPDDR4 ram and UFS 2.0 storage, and a decent size battery. I would be really p'd off if they reduced the battery size further. The Z2 had the same battery size as the Note 3, and now the X performance has a 2700 mah battery, which is big chunk smaller than the Z5.

Only for Z6 and above or also for previous models? If this mean we'll see a Sailfish port for Z3/Z5 Compact, then I'm excited.

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

Original Z, Z1-3 I believe is what Sony are supporting at the moment for the mainline kernel. Z3+/Z4 and Z5 aren't yet supported. I think its the whole series so Z1 compact Z2, compact etc. but I'm not sure on that.

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

I thought that all Xperia devices would have support. Atleast these what are here http://developer.sonymobile.com/know...and-resources/

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

Not right now, but in the future probably.

Re: shashlik - opensource alien dalvik analog
 

The point is to have a starting point that works. Shashlik is far from a finished product. My understanding is that the plan is for Shashlik to eventually become part of Plasma Mobile and the emulator will be replaced once it is no longer needed.

Sony's announcement is great progress and is something I never imagined they'd do in a million years given their history. I wish it would be that simple to make libhybris-less ports. You've still got to consider the 3rd party graphics binary blobs that have been written for SurfaceFlinger and Bionic libc. I don't expect these will be part of their mainlining effort.

Edit: Somehow I overlooked the part where they mentioned that they're working on Freedreno so there is hope. :)
