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

I mean the android settings which are launched by clicking the "Settings" button on Aliendalvik Control.

After launching it, click on "Sound" and on the next panel try to change the "Phone Ringtone". The popup with the choices is not rendered.

 

Also the Contacts button on Aliendalvik Control does nothing

I did it once and the paste function normalized, but now the problem has returned and I was unable to return the paste option.
I was really in doubt if it's AD Control, because it never happened to me

Ad control is causing problems after my update to 3.4 . Reinstallation does not solve these issues - even by using the suggested terminal command. My issues are: 1. Cant stop AD via settings. 2. Phone does not shut down properly. Red led and "wait" thats all i got.

I guess I made a mistake: Storeman installed v3.4 instead of v3.3 (I'm running SailfishX Rokua). Then I tried to uninstall it to replace it with 3.3 but no way: now I cannnot uninstall or reinstall, even with Zypper after pkcon refresh/update.

Got stung by a left-over old copy of 9.3.0-1 that crashed my Sailfish 3.4.0.24 update midway through. (And left ssu in a broken state, but that's a different story).
Needed to do exactly that to complete the update.

Can anyone confirm it works flawlessly on Xperia X SFOS Rokua 3.3.0.16? Thanks :) I am interested mainly in setting android browser as default one.

Primary reason is hoping to get group SMS/MMS usable on Sailfish. I have used Signal on Android and it handles group SMS/ MMS correctly. Lots of people in USA prefer group SMS and Sailfish messenger doesn't know how to keep the group thread and it splits messages to individual's threads. I have been nagging at together.jolla for years for group SMS, but no luck. Thank you.

Coderus, great app. Is there any way to have an Android app like Signal handle all SMS/MMS messaging. That will be a great feature if possible.

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??

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
