Attention!

Application have no support for SFOS 4 and later.

For SFOS 3.3 compatibility you must install at least 9.2 version
For SFOS 3.4 compatibility you must install at least 9.3 version

Great application allows you to do:

  • share media from sailfish applications to android ones
  • share media from android applications to sailfish ones
  • use android browser as default one
  • open chooser dialog when you select a link to choose browser to use
  • hide and show navigation bar
  • open android Downloads application
  • use android applications with one hand

Android 4.1 and 4.4 features:

  • change android keyboard
  • disable android touch sounds

Android 8.1 features:

Application installs sdcard mount scripts for XA2. It's required to restart android support (aliendalvik), or reboot device once after installing 9.0.9 version, or any newer if you installing this application for the first time.

Application automatically modifying android desktop files to make it accept parameters.
You can use latest version of Mimer (https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer) to assign default web browser directly to selected android apps.

But it's better to assign default browser to "Android selector" action and use handy popup dialog

Package installs sharing plugin and replaces old Android ShareUI plugin.

Hi Coderus,

out of curiosity - is there any place where the current source code can be found? The linked Github repo has code 2 years old, while the latest update here is just a couple months old.

Thanks!

coderus's picture

pushed, thanks for reminder!

Schturman's picture

Hi Coderus.
Can you tell me please how to correctly check status of NavBar with "dbus-send" or "/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus" commands.
Thanks

After upgrading to aliendalvik-control-1.0.10-1.armv7hl I have set the HTTP handler to the default browser for once. That opened the selection window again. So I could only abort, choose an android browser. Every time I chose stock Jolla browser, the window popped up again, so finally I told it to always use the Jolla browser. That ended up in a loop until android support froze and subsequently my device. Now I can't even open the HTML handler selection window any more. It will immediately make my device freeze.

Exotic Issue Creator out.

carepack's picture

carepack's picture

mmmmhh. for me google play is not longer starting. sorry have no time to provide the desktop files...

coderus's picture

Fixed in v1.0.5

YouRik's picture

Great tool, but I've got one issue on my end. After the installation I noticed that I couldn't start the (official) YouTube app through the homescreen icon anymore. The app itself still works perfectly fine as I'm still able to start it through Google Play.
Uninstalling aliendalvik control results in no Android apps working at all.

This is not a deal-breaker for me since I have no problem with keeping this tool installed and I'm fine with using YouTube's website but still, a fix would be much appreciated.

coderus's picture

so only youtube app not starting?

YouRik's picture

Yes, I believe there must be something wrong in the .desktop file because it says your tool edits them. What exactly is being edited? Maybe I could try and return it to the original .desktop file for the youtube app.

coderus's picture

it watch changes and revert it anyway if you edit it manually

post your desktop file to pastebin, i;ll check

YouRik's picture

I have just started Google Play, then uninstalled aliendalvik control and and have then installed YouTube to see the original .desktop file.

Here's the original that works:
http://pastebin.com/PkKSSsV1

And here's the one that aliendalvik control edits it to:
http://pastebin.com/y606Sx1V

It would also be good if the tool reverted all android desktop files on uninstallation of aliendalvik control, if that's possible or there should be an option to manually do that with a command or so :)

coderus's picture

Uploaded build with fix :)

YouRik's picture

Thank you for your work and effort!

I will throw some bucks your way!
