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.

I don't get how to use left hand control: how can you click on a menu; if you lift your finger, the virtual location you had on the screen vanishes ...

I have installed this app and it doesn't appear to be working.  I can't add accounts as I am supposed to be able to do.  More importantly, since installing it my phone won't receive or make calls.  I am trying to uninstall it but I can' where to do this.

I should add that I am using a Sony X10

How do I uninstall this app??

I finally managed to solved it.

It was a problema with the Openrepos app Storeman.

See issue #7 in github.
When performing an RPM upgrade (e.g.: with `zypper update`), there's a transient moment when both the old and the new package are on the system. and the un-install scriplet of the old version kills the just newly installed new versi...

..oh.. I just noticed you're currently reading github as I type.

Hey @coderus,
after every update I have the issue that this app will reinstall itself after every reboot. I am using the Xperia XA2 Dual SIM. The behaviour is as follows:
1. Update this app
2. Reboot device (android runtime autostart is activated in the sfos settings) and directly open the settings app
3. After reboot try to open an android app. The android app won't open even after several trys
4. After some minutes a statusbar notification will notify that 'The android app org.coderus.aliendalvikcontrol has been installed successfully'
5. After this notification I am able to start android apps again

hi, please try new build

Alex's picture

It seems to be fixed now, thank you. :)

For me sharing of media gallery pictures works again, what is really nice :) But the phone is kind of laggy after installation,  i don't know if its the installation of Dalvik control itself, but i have flickering and crashing Android apps. Open camera even seems to be darker. So unfortunately i desinstalled it again :( :'(

Firefox84's picture

For me sharing media from an ext4 SD-card does not work, the app crashes if doing so. Is a bug the problem or the format of my SD-card? Thanks!

coderus's picture

XA2? in sfos 3.2 sdcard functionality is totally broken

campeon's picture

Hi.

And is there any chance to regain access to sdcard for android apps ??

Thanks for your help and work.

Sharing not work

After 3.2.0.12 update is Nemo and SD-mount script, for XA2, broken.

Found this in the ChangeLog:
https://together.jolla.com/question/214571/release-notes-320-torronsuo/#...
"Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps."

SD mount script broken by 3.2.0 update.

campeon's picture

Thanks for the SD script mounting... I send you money via paypal to buy you a beer !!!

Hi Coderus AD Control for XA2 Ultra there isnt option to play android sound. I try to go settings - sound - ringtone disable continuous sound with ringtone ... Example: WhatsApp awlays ringtone sound and no real notification sound.
Example 2: Xperia X has the option and whatsapp can user sound notitication.

Thank you.
coderus's picture

These options does not exists for Android 8 verison, you need to do the changes in Android Settings

Rafaelvlmendes's picture
A feather. I tried to do this in Android Settings - Sound - Touch Sound and it didn't remove the sound from whatsapp and notifications only vibrate. Is there another alternative for removing this sound? 
Thank
ixevix's picture

Really nice app. i could open settings once but after I rebooted my clock was gone and all other icons from the same area as clock. Luckily I got them back after removing this package

ixevix's picture

Oh lol, it integrates into settings app wtf?

ixevix's picture

Hmm, got it installed from site but I cannot see any app icon?

ixevix's picture

Hey, I cannot see install option in storeman for this on XA2 dual sim

dexic's picture

Coderus, privet! :-)
Is it feasible to change the color calculation for the "one hand mode" to something like the "opposite" of the top bar? I have a red coloured app and almost don't see the "finger circle".
Thank you!

I installed this on my XA2 dual sim, and at first it works. But after a while the AD control menu changes to the android 4.4 -version, meaning that I can launch only Downloads, and it shows the options for touch sounds, mock locations and non-market apps. A reinstall of AD control fixes this, but the problem re-occurs after a while. I have no idea what triggers this, the device (and AD) has been rebooted at least a few times before this happens.

coderus's picture

This may happen when ad control crashes. I'd like to see logs of ad control, if possible.

run command when problem reproduced:
devel-su journalctl -al -n 1000 /usr/bin/aliendalvik-control > /home/nemo/Documents/ad.log

 

Will create ad.log file in Documents, send me this file.
