That's not sure at the moment. Jolla pays a licence fee to Myriad (owner of Android comptability layer used in Sailfish OS) per sold device. Furthermore alien-dalvik needs to be configurated properly to run on different devices. Jolla devs are aware that this situation isn't optimal, but there is no further public information about this (especially as long as those Sailfish ports are in alpha-version). I'm following the progress as well since I would like to have this feature on my Nexus 4.

An option might be to implement an alternative option (discussed in xda-developers forums), but I wouldn't expect any mature solution soon. Maybe Sailfish OS 2.0 brings some answers, but everything is just speculation.
