Jolla probably decided to focus on providing a stable Xperia X Image first before tackling this issue (and preventing having an additional source of errors during that).

What are the current issues with Anbox on Sailfish OS?
As for the image itself running on Sailfish, the issues are no input, no keyboard, and no navigation bar.
My next phone will most likely be the XZ1, when that comes out my Nexus 5 will be free to freely test and work on Anbox. Not yet sure which to do first, hybris-ify Android Oreo in order to get Sailfish on the XZ1 or Anbox on Sailfish, probably the latter, as I know more about the inner workings of Android (I have a potential fix for the latter two anbox image issues) than I do about hybris.

So that means Anbox would only be able to work on devices that have a newer kernel then?
