Since some time I encounter situations being unable to start the alien dalvik service. I think it's since the 1.9 or 2.0 upgrade. It does not happen so often though. After a reboot it works again. Some idea how to get additional info what happens?

Also had this problem. The alien-pre-start service seems to crash or shutdown and does not restart on its own. So if you have developer mode activated you can open up a terminal and execute
devel-su
systemctl-user restart alien-pre-start
After that normal restart or start of alien dalvik either in the settings or via terminal should work again.
Didn't help here:

aliendalvik stopped working over night and reboot, battery out and reinstalling didn't help. Apparently there are some problems with java and com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService in start_alien.sh Can someone help, please? Status of aliendalvik is loaded but inactive (dead)

Maybe if you give some more input about your phone and installed software, otherwise we have to guess.
Well, then I will guess as follows: You want to uninstall google's play store and services and don't install any untrusted, foreign software.
Moo-Crumpus ( 2015-12-09 12:50:55 +0200 )editI also have this bug. I can't find a way to reproduce it with 100% success rate. All I can say is that I start Android support every morning and turn it off usually after my day at work, or at the latest, when going to sleep. I actually had to reboot my phone this morning, I had an uptime of 11 days.
Elioty ( 2015-12-10 01:15:22 +0200 )edit@Moo-Crumpus: sorry for lacking further infos. I have only Whatsapp installed as Android app and Osmand~. No google playstore.
Edit: I forgot the Aptoide store, which I have installed too.
