# Running Jolla AppSupport/aliendalvik on regular linux distros
This is a small repo documenting the reverse enginieering of Jolla's Android AppSupport (aka Aliendalvik), including steps on how to run it on other linux distros than Sailfish OS.
## Note for everyone attempting this
Aliendalvik is a complex piece of software and requires lots of setup to run. This is a very rough set of steps, it *won't* work on the first try, be prepared to solve problems.
## Steps to run outside of Sailfish OS
1. Get a supported phone with Sailfish OS and Android AppSupport (see https://shop.jolla.com/) and grab the necessary binaries
- Start the phone, go through setup of Sailfish OS and setup Android AppSupport
- Get all the necessary files from the phone via SSH, see files.txt
