Transfer of Sailfish X Android compatibility layer

So errr... this is quite embarrassing, but nevertheless.

Let's imagine someone (well, me actually) was really stupid and got himself Sailfish X image before buying the real phone and then when comparing X and X Compact in shop decided that he was too clumsy to hold the original X with its glossy finish while the Compact was quite alright since it's, well, compact.

So now that someone, fully understanding the meaning of the word "irrevocable" and that he'd been warned (so no offence taken), just eagerly awaits for the @steph image. But also he wonders: since X and X Compact share SoC and most of other hardware, will it be possible to transfer and use the X android layer and xt9 from his Sailfish X image? Maybe he would be able to transfer some of the configs or keys from that image to access the X repos with the droid layer and xt9? Or just copy the necessary libraries (though he really would prefer proper rpm installation)?
