I was wondering if any of you know anything about running Android in a Window in Sailfish on the One Plus One?

I've heard the OPO is very similar to the Nexus 5. So do you think it's possible to get Android in a Window (SFDroid) on our OPOs?
If so, this would probably let me move away from Android once and for all.

Another stupid question:
If I flashed the sfdroid zip with the cyanogen rom, would this replace my existing Sailfish install or just add the android in a window functionality? Or would I be have to choose between Sailfish Os or Sailfish with SFDroid?

Thanks!
The oneplus one has a different cm base (cm12.1) to the nexus 5 (cm11), the code would have to be ported to work. We don't have a device with such a base to do the porting ourselves. The code modifications is open source and available on github if someone wants to give it a stab. I would say that I was going to try and get a cm12.1 base working on the nexus 5 but I've got enough projects to be working on.

As for your second question, you flash the sfdroid zip on top of the sailfish rom you'd like to run android apps on, it doesn't delete anything only modifies some files on the cm base which would otherwise be unused. Sfdroid (and possibly the sailfish rom) will stop working if you do an OTA update.
