Had they spent even half the effort spent on Android application compatibility on attracting native developers, the platform would be in a far better state.
LOL did you even try android support on SFOS before writing this?

This is all false!!! I have working aliendalvik with gapps package (i made rpm for it actually) on my Nexus 4. It's not even official phone it's ported and android apps run faster then they ran when i had 7.1.1 nougat on this same phone! even on my nexus 5 android apps run faster on SFOS with dalvik then on android. That's because SFOS itself is much lighter and faster then android. also maybe that aliendalvik uses faik services and somethings just to run android apps so they are not really doing anything.

Also my nexus 5 with SFOS with aliendalvik enabled at boot boots to the homescreen 6 seconds faster then it does on nougat 7.1.1. shutfown speeds are faster compare to android as well.
Although i can't tell this about nexus 4. It takes aaaaages before it shuts down on SFOS. But Nexus 4 is waaay better supported for SFOS then Nexus 5. It almost feels like Nexus 4 is official phone. I can't tell it about Nexus 5 though.
