Dear Madam and sire, I have a Sony Xperia X Compact and I would like to install an android app. I have used the free image for the Xperia X Compact but i have also an official license for a simple Xperia X and a jolla phone. Is it possible to copy the Android support App from Jolla phone to the Xperia X Compact? Or can I flush the phone withe the official Xperia X license? Thanks for help

If you have the Xperia X with the files installed, the same files will work on X compact, but you can't officially get support for XC.

Levone1, thank for your answer. Unfortunate I have no Xperia X hardware. If I use a Xperia X image than the phone does not start. It shows only the Sony start picture. I used the same binary file (SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_MR1_3.10_v13_loire.img). Is this right? Thanks

Hello Levone1, thanks for your help. Do you know is it possibly to download this files or can I copy this files form Jolla phone?
Files are proprietary, so not legally downloadable / shareable. If you bought a license, you own the files on your phone, so you can do what you want with them for your personal use. I don't know if there's any difference between the files for Jolla phone and the ones for X.
Levone1 ( 2018-04-26 22:45:11 +0200 )editSorry, I don't know fully how it works. The aliendalvik rpms, when installed, copy a bunch of files to your phone, (probably hundreds), like the whole /opt/alien/ directory, and a bunch of stuff in /usr and /etc. Ideally, you would want the rpms, which I would guess are somehow available, if you bought a license, but I never have... Maybe someone here knows, or maybe you can just ask Jolla...
Levone1 ( 2018-04-27 15:03:34 +0200 )editI found there an instruction https://together.jolla.com/question/180434/any-legal-way-to-get-alien-dalvik-on-x-compact/ Unfortunately I am new in installing applications over command line. I think this command installs two files on the phone. Is this right? pkcon install-local aliendalvik-1.0.82-1.armv7hl.rpm apkd-android-settings-0.7.28-10.36.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm Where can I fond this files? Thanks
