Re: ubuntu phone run Android apps

 

Hello Andreas,

No. While Ubuntu Touch uses CyanogenMod as a base Android applications
won't run because the DalvikVM was removed. CyanogenMod is mainly used
because of the hardware enablement because it has been ported to a lot of
Android devices.

Cheers,
Octavian
