I would expect that the AD package itself is built from parts of the android source tree for the device in question. You don't have the source for the AD package so unless you're awesome at binary patching I'm not sure you will have much luck in your quest.
Also, the AD package from Jolla C is Android 4.4.4 where as the android for FP2 is 5.1, this is also likely to cause you issues.
FP2 has also 5.1 as HAL, if there exist an Alien Dalvik for FP2 - it will be also 4.4.4, the same like on Jolla C.
The main problem is the different kernel version, i think....

Unless two device shares same PCB, otherwise we have no chance here.
We could stop wasting time trying to copy one AD to another, it's like using another ROM from a different device. Just tuning ROM won't make it work for other device. Given a clear example, Xperia Z3 and Z3C clearly have same kernal, android version and even the same brand, same SoC, they can't share ROM. (And yes, AD here works like a ROM, not app.)

A interesting question is
Would it be easier to replace Aliendalvik with sfdroid in the future? Or is that project doomed cause of lack of manpower to get it really working on most interesting devices such in my case fairphone2?
What I mean is all apps must be possible to install that include google play apps compability.

That and the integration with the sailfish side is minimal, so its like running android in a VM more than something integrated like Alien-Dalvik
