Android apps are not aware of multitasking and don't behave well in this situation, so if you don't force-pause them, they will happily eat away your battery, thinking they are still in focus by the user. AlienDalvik takes care of this by emulating Android's application lifecycle.

I don't want to be pushy but I'd like to order Jolla for Christmas (the deadline for that is 2 Dec) and a little more information would calm me. In my budget 399€ is a huge investment.
I too want to try this with Strava, just not had the time to investigate how to get the apk yet. Still playing with the native phone features.

Okay, didn't notice that. Will have to look again when I'm playing with Android apps next time.

They can't add that condition to GPL code.
Excuse me? That's the whole point of GPL. To give the author the right to redistribute all improvements you've made to theiir code. That "viral" property of GPL (it contaminates everything it touches) is the main reason why commercial companies avoid GPL like a plague.

EDIT: Sorry about the OT diversion. I would delete my post but I see no point now that it's been quoted so many times. To some of you I only have to say this: using the Linux kernel, gcc, etc is miles away from using GPL code. Just try incorporating a zip algorithm from Infozip into your commercial software and you will see what I mean.

You are right, this does not belog here. My silly mistake. Sorry.

You misunderstood. The GPL doesn't force you to distribute improvements you made to someone else's code at all, neither to the original author nor to anyone else.

@pichlo, JohnHughes, benny1967:

Snippet from Sailfish EULA:
[...] unless and until otherwise expressly informed by you, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide and perpetual right to use, modify, distribute, and prepare derivative works of, such material solely in our Software and Services for the purposes of enabling you to use the Software and Services in their intended manner. This right must be perpetual, as we do not have the technical capability to manually remove all material you might have provided.
I'd appreciate if you didn't discuss about this any further, it's off-topic (it might make a good thread on it's own).

Linux kernel is GPL'ed. Companies are not exactly avoiding Linux, are they?

From a consumer standpoint, I think companies who think their business value is entrenched in their source code are the ones you should be wary of. They are the ones which pulls stunts on you like Adobe did with the "Creative Cloud" crap.

I hope Jolla will open up the remaining code. GPL is fine. That does not mean they lose control - Google didn't exactly lost control of Android either.
