# 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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Set up dependencies on the target device
|
||
|
|
- Install dependencies from the Arch ARM repos: lxc packagekit-qt5 mlite qt5-sensors qt5-location python-pywayland
|
||
|
|
- Build necessary libraries that aren't in the Arch ARM repos: libglibutil libgbinder
|
||
|
|
- Build custom libraries from forks: [libQtContacts](https://github.com/jonas2515/qtpim/tree/alien-everwhere), [libqtcontacts_folks](https://github.com/jonas2515/qtfolks), [libqtposition_geoclue2](https://github.com/jonas2515/qtpositioning/tree/alien-everwhere), [libqtsensors_iio-sensor-proxy](https://github.com/jonas2515/qtsensors/tree/alien-everywhere)
|
||
|
|
- Install shimming services on the target device, see shimming/
|
||
|
|
- Build and install patched mobile-mutter and libwayland, see patches/
|
||
|
|
- Get the vanilla (not GApps) android system.img and vendor.img from Waydroid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Copy all the aliendalvik config, binaries and libraries to the target device, see files.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Create necessary users, groups, and configure a few more things on the device, see setup-environment.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Edit the aliendalvik configuration on the device, see configure.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Do a manual test-run of aliendalvik to check if everything works, see running.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. If you managed to run everything, there's some systemd services and scripts to automate startup of aliendalvik in the automation/ folder
