Someone willing to pay them a little time? I am willing...

So,

sfdroid currently runs Android in a window. This is a great memory requirement, we all know.

But, as far as I understand, Android itself simply runs the Java apps in the VM, in this case: ART Dalvik VM.

Is there anything that prevents us from doing the same on Sailfish: setting up the ART and running the Android apps directly there?

you can set up the dalvik vm and run basic command line apps. but without android services there would be no GUI

thp has managed to run the dalvik vm on his n9 and i replicated the same. i even implemented it in apkenv: apkenv now has a mode to support games running with some support for the dalvik vm. but there is lack of a java environment which the apps can call into so we still use modules for each game.

We had icedtea on N900, we could theoretically get the same on SFOS...

Assume we built the OpenJDK JRE. Any further problems?

Hi. Sorry if this question has already been asked but could sfdriod run on another linux distribution like debian or fedora?

So basically, if we add all the services needed for the GUI, we end up with sfdroid?

if we do it like i did then it would be sfdroid. if we do it a bit more sophisticated with more development hours it would be alien

kind of
