Oh, I assumed you install Android app in a chrooted Android environment
which implies an Android kernel.
I confess than I'm a bit disapointed to discover this, because I wanted
to install Sailfish either on the Neo900 or on a good Android phone with
a physical keyboard for having an interresting OS/device with the
possibility to install Android apps when there is not equivalent.

Thank you, now I have a better understanding of how it works.
