Hi guys,

I have version 1.1.2.16 Vliaavanlampi on a Nexus

I am trying to find Android support in the jolla store but I can not find the package. Is there anyway to install this manually?

Ported SFOS does not have access to android-support, only Jolla official devices have that, so far that is JollaPhone and soon to be JollaTablet

Edit Drummer12: I heard it's a licensing issue, only Jolla Phone and tablet are able to install android support therefore...

If the whole point of you having Sailfish is the Android support... wouldn't it make more sense to install Android then?

@null: He has a point. Having Sailfish is little use if you are missing most of the apps you need. Unless you want to use your smartphone just for mail, web and little else.

It's a licensing issue btw. Alien Dalvik is only licensed for Jolla devices, since Jolla pays for that license. There is currently no way to obtain a license on another device.
