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

[KonstaT]

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

Build instructions are available here: https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_local_manifest/tree/lineage-15.1

You'll need what's in the local manifest and couple of extra patches. Build process and creating the image is a bit different from regular LineageOS build where you'd just create a recovery flashable zip.

I haven't received any reports about wifi issues. If rebooting/reconnecting your devices doesn't help, grab a logcat to see what's going on.

Not quite sure what you mean with a "shield". Some external USB GPS dongles are supported directly (e.g. 1546:01a7 U-Blox AG, etc) - some other might just require some configuration. FM radio won't work without some serious effort. It's impossible for me to support every piece of hardware that I don't have. As this is an open source project, adding support for certain piece of hardware is something that you can do yourself.

i installed it on the pi 3 B+ just to see if it works. used etcher to create image and it booted up. attached keyboard and mouse, all good, but the gui is very sluggish, so i didnt get too excited to go further installing gapps and other stuff. will wait for the next build to see if its beter

thanks for your hard work!

Will it support pi display ? The original one connected via display port?

It already supports the official 7" display out-of-the-box.

Hi Guys...

I'm new with R Pi....

I installed 15.1 on the B+ model....

Besides watching it boot....is it a usable OS...???

I installed Titanium TV APK and it played horribly ...it would play for 40 secs...then freeze for 15 secs and then repeat back and forth....seemed like it was always trying to catch up

Is the 1 gig ram enough to keep this thing stable?
or are there tweaks to the settings i need to do?

Thxs
mike

No, it's not suitable for media device use like it says in the first paragraph of the OP!

i only see a black screen (after rainbow-boot-screen) with the 16.0 version. 15.1 works.
i'm on a 3b+ - and i already tried to replace the config.txt of 16.0 with the config.txt of 15.1.
i tried another monitor as well.
still no luck.
any ideas ?

If you have problems with LineageOS 16.0 build why not post on that thread instead?

Similar display issues are just recently discussed on the last page of that topic. You need to use a display that supports 1280x720 resolution (and reports supported resolutions via EDID) or modify value of debug.drm.mode.force property in /system/build.prop to something it does.

Does touchscreen work

 

[KonstaT]

Does touchscreen work

Yes, it does if you mean the official 7" touchscreen. There's no need to run any script either (like with LineageOS 14.1 build) but you need to change Settings -> Display -> Display size or modify value of ro.sf.lcd_density property in /system/build.prop to adapt to the different resolution.

Nice one thanks

hi
I have the RPi3, RPi3B(currenltly my libreElec media center) and the RPi4 (the new date.. ) with me...

I would like to install and lean how this goes with the Rpi3 but I really want to see if I can help you (KonstaT) build the latest Lineage for RPi4.

Is this a stable build? On my rpi3 B it relaunches several times before the first screen comes up? Then it is very sluggish, even then it crashes while setting it up. I am yet to be able to set it up fully. Used Etcher to burn the image. Suggestions please.

This build is discontinued and seriously outdated. Please update to using the latest LineageOS 16.0 build instead (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ra...v-lineageos-16-0-android-9-raspberry-t3943678).

Nothing should be crashing. Generally speaking you need to use proper sdcard (class 10) and power source (2.5A in case of Pi 3).
