Android support failed after update from 3.4 to 4.1.28

After updating my Xperia X Device from SFOS 3.4 to 4.1.28 the android support does not work anymore. Which aliendalvik version ist used for the Xperia X Mobile running on Sailfish 4.1.28 ? The alien-dalvik version is stil 1.0.90-1. Does Jolla delete the android support for the Xperia Mobiles ?

root@Sailfish:~> systemctl start aliendalvik

=> nothing happens - keep terminal open an running, using another session to show status:

root@Sailfish:~> systemctl status aliendalvik.service

EDIT : Seems the aliendavik was not updated ? Are There any Updates for the aliendalvik packages ?

zyper install aliendalvik

Looked now into Jolla store and checked current version number of ‘Android Support’. There it is version number 1.0.0 shown. …strange…

edit: Did you directly update from 3.4 to 4.1 or did you update in two steps, 3.4 → 4.0 and 4.0 → 4.1?

do you have an Xperia X ? what is the result of :

sudo rpm -qa | grep alien

EDIT: i do the stop release update from 3.4.0.24 to 4.1.0.48

https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347-How-do-I-download-and-install-a-System-Update-

Have a Xperia 10.
The command did not run, so I tried devel-su, then your command but without the leading ‘sudo’. This gives the following information:
aliendalvik-1.1.0-1.8.1.jolla.armv7hl
aliendalvik-system-10.0.0.52.15-1.15.1.jolla.armv7hl

You are right, devel-su is the default, sudo additional installed. Thanks for info but i need the output from an Xperia X for comparing the aliendalvik version.

@speefak

Here is result form my Xperia X F5122 on 4.1.0.24

[root@Sailfish nemo]# rpm -qa | grep alien
aliendalvik-1.0.95-1.armv7hl
feature-alien-0.3.0-1.4.1.jolla.armv7hl

Well my Dalvik version is :slight_smile:
aliendalvik-1.0.90-1.armv7hl
feature-alien-0.3.0-1.4.1.jolla.armv7hl

seams like the update does not work correctly /:
