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?

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.

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?
