[DEV][ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0) for Raspberry Pi 3 B and B+

[KonstaT]

display performance is really really too poor

Which is why you should start by reading the OP...

Please read the FAQ. You need to have system partition mounted if you want to run the script.

Q: How to boot out of TWRP recovery?
A: You can execute the same script in TWRP terminal (Advanced->Terminal) if you have system partition mounted (Mount->System):

rpi3-recovery.sh boot

Or you can flash my recovery2boot zip in TWRP.

I READ Q&A
I did exactly is writen after installing gapps
As i typed
rpi3.recovery.sh boot
i got rpi3.recovery.sh not found

I'm on RPI3 B+
So i ask again what shoul d i do to go reboot lineageOS
and pls don't tell me again to read Q&A ...
Tkx before your help

I foud the solution :
after flashing gapps : only data partition was mounted
so i mounted Boot and system partition
and then i could type rp3-revovery.sy boot
ian i could boot system
u should update your Q&A !!!

LOL, what? You did what you were told to do (mount system partition) and surprisingly it worked. Or you can even flash the recovery2boot zip in TWRP if running the script is too difficult for you. FAQ is fine, I suggest you learn to read it!

Q: How to boot out of TWRP recovery?
A: You can execute the same script in TWRP terminal (Advanced->Terminal) if you have system partition mounted (Mount->System):

rpi3-recovery.sh boot

Or you can flash my recovery2boot zip in TWRP.

I think u did not unerstand
i'll try to explain :
In twrp :
i installed gapps
after installing i wanted reboot out of twrp
in terminal i typed rp3.recovery.sh boot
exactly like u wote in Q&A
i got rp3.recovery.sh not found !!! <--- that's the problem

I looked which partitions were mounted : only data was mounted that's why i couldn't find rpi3.recovery.sh
i decided to mount sytem et boot partition and tried again
This time rp3.recovery.sh was found and worked.

The issue is not in your ROM but may be in TWRP : only /data mounted after flashing so i could not find rp3.recovery.sh

Maybe this issue is specific to RPI3 B+

No, you don't seem to understand. Like I've already explained several times, you need to have system partition mounted if you want to run the script and it also says so in the FAQ: "...if you have system partition mounted (Mount->System)"!

The script is actually located on the system partition (/system/bin/rpi3-recovery.sh) so of course it's 'not found' if you don't have system partition mounted in TWRP!

User specific error, nothing to do with RPI3 B+.

 

[jpq]

u're right
i didn(t read the end of the sentence in Q&A
SORRY

hi konsta and special thanks for your efforts while compiling android for the raspberry 3b+
ive installed your version on my pi today and gave it a try. unfortunately the "display performance" is far away from "poor"
its not usable like this, for nothing. Yes it boots, and even network is loaded, so thumbs up ! But you cant do anything with it

im using my PI on an flat touchscreen to display a calendar in my home. i also do have a RING VIDEO DOORBELL but unfortunately there's no linux software for it. the idea was to SEE on the flat screen who is in front of the door if it rings
now i read about android on the PI 3b+ and thought YAY ***** NOW ITS GOING THROUGH!
But unfortunately it isnt
i cant even install an APK. file manager crashes, android is stucked, nothing happens. Choose one

do u know if theres an older version that works more smooth on the PI 3 B+? i havnt found anything in the web. Only one paid version by exblahblahguy. but no retentions. i would pay some bucks if it would be sure that it works as i need it (and the pi's hardware is strong enough for that)

long story short, Thanks for your developments. we all appreciate developers like you
coffee for you !

My LineageOS 14.1 build doesn't support Pi 3 B+ for the reason explained in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77593507&postcount=16). This is an open source project so you're most welcome to contribute and fix display performance or whatever other issues you may find.

There's one (Nougat, Linux 4.9 kernel) that is free to try and it's fine as far as I'm concerned. Then there's one paid version (Oreo, Linux 4.14 kernel) that is nothing but a build from my free and open source work (https://github.com/lineage-rpi) with some apps bundled in. Most definitely don't purchase that - ask for a refund if you have! There's GPLv2 licensing issues as well.

Hi and thanks for your Feedback

Can you Name the one thats fine and free?

I'll rather name the one that's not. RaspAnd by Arne Exton that is sold for $9. Nothing new to him there either (https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4q40gj/androidrpi_extons_9_build/).

 

[kettenschutz]

mh thanks, but as mentioned i do already know about the one that isnt free and obviously a clone of yours

so im going back to raspbian to use at least google tables again

I installed lineage-15.1-20180706-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-rpi3 on B+, everything went well except that Camera is not detected (which works in Raspbian Stretch).

Only USB webcams (UVC) work with specific third party camera apps for the purpose. There's no support for Raspberry camera module (I don't have the hardware). This is open source so you're most welcome to implement that of course.

Sources are linked in the OP. You'll find kernel source (https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_kernel_brcm_rpi3/tree/lineage-15.1) there as well.

You don't always get what you want.

I'm no longer developing LineageOS on Raspberry Pi (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/...sid=312dd0da128b83d5a18c9eaa6c44cf48#p1381343 & https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78100588&postcount=66) so I won't be releasing any Pie builds either.

Hi KonstaT, can you please share a quick tutorial for compiling your sources, had repo synced linage os 15.1 but has been quite a while since my last build and need some guidance. Back in the days I would have had only 3 git sources device, kernel and vendor, but I noticed you have some more. Can you clarify if all needed to get to your build, would like to replicate your result before starting working on it.

Many thanks
