Hi folks, the lacking of MUC and OMEMO support in Sailfish's XMPP integration is still holding
me back from switching to SFOS again.
Is there any hope for an alternative (and not Android in a window) to run an Android Jabber (XMPP) client?
If not, is it possible to copy the Alien Dalvik binary from another Jolla device owned by a friend or is it IMEI locked?

Yesterday I read about anbox... It seems to be very interesting. Maybe it would be a real alternative to alien dalvik.
I'm sure they'll move the code over to use (the far superior) xdg-app/Flatpak whenever Canonical cancels all development on snap packages. An open issue on their GitHub page: https://github.com/anbox/anbox/issues/62
nthn ( 2017-04-16 21:11:22 +0200 )editI did install anbox on my Desktop (Linux Mint, so it may be better on Ubuntu for which it is made) to give it a spin – and while it runs pretty nicely (and fast!), my impression is that it hasn't progressed much beyond proof-of-concept. Not that it's advertised differently, but I think it's worth mentioning.
Negative things I noticed immediately:
If you're about to try it and have an nvidia card, you'll have to use nouveau drivers.
That's not to say that this isn't pretty awesome and fun to play with, but I would not get my hopes up too soon to get a real smooth ("end user" compatible) experience for all use cases, even on Desktops. It shows huge potential to get there at some point, though. Enough to make me quite a bit excited about it, even if this comment as a whole might sound otherwise.

@Technics: a standalone native XMPP client with support for MUC and eventually OMEMO is now in the works... http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1521193&postcount=36

The XMPP implementation is being worked on...

Those already help out a lot.

You can't install it. You need to port it, compile, build, test, debug, fix problems, compile and build again, grow beard, go to forest, build house, born son, back to civilization, rebuild everything from scratch, fix all problems, compile and build working version. Then you can use it.

Conversations, which supports MUC and OMEMO is available as an Android app from within the Jolla store.

Technics ( 2016-12-29 10:00:17 +0200 )editI already wrote you somewhere else that unofficial devices cannot run them.
This why i made this topic.
