Technical issues aside (such as notifications, etc), I don't see how this can be positive to Ubuntu-touch's future... Best case scenario, the apps work "okish" and with some overhead due to the translation layer. What you get is an OS that **also** runs android apps, but does it **worse** than

Why would you want android apps ? Most of them won’t work because they rely on google play services or because of the sandbox. They would also look out of place. And if you can run android apps, why would they be bothered to write a native app. > On 22 Feb 2016, at 15:26, Peter Bittner
