Would this really work if you can get mer for free? Silica closed sourcing might be ok in perspective (throw in android compatibility and this could sell, just for how much until xda manages to crack android cl)
A handful I suppose, and its not easy to setup either - is it
Without a meaningful UI the underlying layer, no matter how good/free is irrelevant.
You asked for ideas - this is one

If I would be jolla I would push much harder for the idea of seamless navigation and user control. The need to solve a real problem or and imaginary with the idea. And community would be an excellent ally if jolla was pointing in the right direction. Even cooler if the community would be a part of Jphone ll planning, launch and commercials to sell the idea of what ever jolla trying to do.

To continue,
If 10% of android users (total count @ 1 billion as per google), decide to pay $10 (just a random amount) to use a sailfish port for their device ..... we can all do the math
And we dont need bleeding edge hardware either.

edit: not to mention that 10$ would have to cover alien dalvik as well, as mo androod user outside of hackers/wayland enthusiastbis gonna drop their bejeweled or whatever the craze is (we have mitakuullu, what is the sms app on india/china? do we have native? doubt it)

but your above statement assumes Jolla hardware. I'm saying screw Jolla hardware and use mass market hardware to sell your USP - which is the OS, not the hardware
