Sailfish OS Reviews: [TechSpecs] Android on Jolla phone

[TechSpecs] Android 4.1.2 system info on Jolla phone

The topic isn't exactly right - Jolla uses Alien Dalvik running on top of the Sailfish OS as a virtual machine. It's an Android Open Sorce Project (AOSP) by Myriad - not the full Android OS by Google.

Alien Dalvik lacks some features which Google's Android have (e.g. Play services), and some device specific info (e.g. battery status, hardware buttons), features (e.g. full screen resolution, access to phone book, notifications) and memory (free RAM is shared between underlying Sailfish OS and Alien Dalvik). In practice I've seen Sailfish OS giving max 460 Mb of RAM to the Android side.

This software could hardly ever reach full 100% Android support, mostly because of that Google is closing the source code more and more, preventing Myriad and others to do that. In the meanwhile, Alien Dalvik does still run most Android applications very nicely - but this article isn't about the software - it's about the system itself:
