Thanks for the interest in Oreo/Pie based ports for Loire, and I understand how important it looks to SFOS on Loire users/fans. Sadly, it seems to be a dead end since Jolla :
- never really acknowledged this work (like for all community devices/ports)
- never agreed to provide/allow AlienDalvik for community devices/ports
so there’s no real benefit to it except maybe more recent kernel (and new problems/incompatibilities to solve), but even Sony’s 4.9 kernel branch (LE.UM.2.3.2.r1.4) is almost dead now and not update-able anymore.
Future is in getting Loire devices mainlined, that is, integrated in Linus Torvald’s Linux tree.
And thankfully there is a team working on it which already mainlined Nile/XA2 : https://www.somainline.org/
That way, no need for binary blobs anymore, and it opens gates to newer and native Android or SFOS ports.
Also, Anbox seems to be better supported on mainlined OS/devices.
