Uninstalling Android Marketplaces (eg. Yandex) breaks alien-dalvik. This is present in version 1.1.1.27 Vaarainjarvi.

Symptoms include:

  • Unable to launch android apps
  • Unable to uninstall android apps

Work Around: Re-install recently removed Android Marketplace

Notes: On my Jolla I have Google Play and Yandex Android Marketplaces installed. I recently uninstalled the Yandex store (as I do not use it, never installed anything from it) leaving only the sideloaded Google Play Store installed. After which no android app would launch, and no android app would uninstall. Re-installing the Yandex store seemed to fix the issue.

If possible, actions such as launching and uninstalling should be independent from which store or stores you have installed on your device. I suspect this might be caused by functions included in Android Marketplace installs from the Jolla Store, which would be better located in the Android Support install instead.

I can confirm this behaviour. The same happened to me. Also after reinstalling the marketplace all my andoid apps behaved like newly installed. This means I had to re-registrate in several apps e.g. whatsapp, tlegramm, here maps

@Reodor, interesting, this hasn't happened for me, all my apps are working as they were.
