Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C

I've noticed that many of the Android apps are NOT compatible with Jolla C.... I can't install them from the Play Store, neither as an installable apk file...
They worked all perfectly fine on the old Jolla.... :(

Here are 2 of them that I can think of right now that they don't work on Jolla C, but working perfectly fine on Jolla

Ezan Vakti Pro Plus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...anvaktiproplus

Flitsmeister:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.flitsmeister

When trying out to install the apk, it tries to install, then suddenly it says app cannot be installed.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Edit: Fix can be found here

Re: Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C

I'm still waiting for shipping information of my Jolla C.

What is the problem when you try to install these Android apps? Do you get an error?

I've checked the journalctl, and this is the output:

Re: Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C

I tested the Flitsmeister-App using apkpure and also can't install it on my Jolla C. But it's the first APK that doesn't work - all my other Android apps installed right away.
Then I try to install your app on Android Cyanogenmod 13 (Google free one) - also didn't work!

About 2 years ago I had a regional messaging app installed on Jolla1. Surprisingly I couldn't install the same app on Cyanogenmod (same error you have now). When I logged the install process, I found out that installation failed because of missing libraries (in that case Google map APIs). After manually adding them, installation worked.

But I never figured out why I could install it on Jolla1, without Google Play or anything googlish installed, but not on Cyanogenmod Android. I'm no pro in such things at all, but looks like Alien Dalvik on Jolla 1 had something set up to bypass this issue.

Re: Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C

Solved the problem by adding the missing library!
it was the com.google.android.maps library that is missing. Works great now!

I've made a simple ReadMe on how to get PlayStore (including this fix).

If you still cannot install the app, run the following command as root

Code:

chroot /opt/alien/ /system/bin/logcat

Then install it again. The terminal should show you the reason why it isn't installing.

Maybe because of this:

Quote:

Store (Phonesky) is a frontend application providing access to the Google Play Store to download and update applications. Development is in early stage and there is no usable application yet.

Edit: Also, mine is much easier to set up :p

Ignore my post about the log.
You need to check it out using the following command:

Code:

chroot /opt/alien/ /system/bin/logcat

Try to install an apk, if it fails, it shows you the reason why

be sure to reboot your phone after applying the zip

I had do that because Google store didn´t allow me to install it from there. (this application isen´t compatible with your device it said).

it's because you're missing libs. After you've inserted the libs and rebooted your phone, it suddenly will let you download the app from the Play Store

Did it the wrong way then, inserted libs and used Aptoide without reboot. :D

Re: Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C

Maybe some error in the Readme:

chmod: cannot access `/opt/alien/system/framework/android.hardware.usb.accessory.jar': No such file or directory

I'm not sure I care about USB with Android so I didn't look into it any further. You'll probably know immediately what's wrong with the README.
