Experiment took place: About 5 minutes ago (unintentionally). The phone was dropped onto a laboratory floor (semi-soft).

Experiment performed by: Rauha.

Report:: No physical damage observed. Other half remained firmly attached to the phone. Lots of short term emotional damage.

That Globe icon is useless and not so handy. Friend should not be hidden

2 finger swipes make more sense not in conventional usage, but for extended usage in specific contexts.

I am worried that this Alien Dalvik layer acts like an Android OS that automatically says "yes, allow" on every request for data access from an Android application.

For "user convenience" AlienDalvik is trusted by Sailfish to access contact details, phone status, GPS, file system, enable network connection etc...hence the Android programs running on top of it are also trusted by default.

The question is, if XPrivacy running on Alien Dalvik would be aware of the other Android programs running on Alien Dalvik? They might as well be running in a separate "box".

I hope somebody can throw in a technical explanation to prove the contrary and show us that Sailfish is not a data grabbing playground for Android applications on the loose.

Thanks

My use case is quite simple: I want to transfer just any file (text, image, audio, windows executable, spreadsheet, powerpoint...) to my phone from a PC or laptop and retrieve it later from another PC. I was not prepared for the situation, so I didn't set up any application on the phone to support me. Also, I have no control over the 2 PCs in question, nor can I be sure that I can join the same network they are in.

That's the good old USB-stick use case. Only that I never carry a USB stick because all of my phones support at least USB mass storage. I don't see any other way than USB mass storage for this typical use case.
