Greetings all users of that great LOS ROM for pi!

Out of curiosity has any of you managed to remote desktop to that ROM from a computer?
I was thinking to use some kind of VNC programs, but could not find any, so then I thought why not try Teamviewer, well that partially works like for pushing/pulling files (which I could have done with adb) but it says remote does not work on this device.
Maybe some of you found a way to do it?

Thanks in advance for you help if you can.

Again thanks to @KonstaT for this great Port!

Regards,

Hey KonstaT, thanks for the ROM.

I have been using this due to USB boot support and have encountered some issues:

- HDMI doesn't have sound unless "hdmi_force_edid_audio=0" in config.txt. I think it is trying to output in formats not supported. Headphone out is working well if I disable HDMI audio.
- There seems to be graphical corruption, pixels showing wrong colors for ms at a time, unsure if TV issue. Not sure if you have overclocking anywhere.
- Bluetooth keyboard is having issues inserting "h" and "g" randomly.
- Wireless mouse is very laggy, seems some BT coexistence issue that has been documented for RPi 3.

I would change the user data partition to F2FS vs EXT4, since you already have support compiled. It is quite faster for most SD/USB drives and will help with flash longevity. Would mount with "noatime,mode=lfs,active_logs=4" for better performance with most drives.

Would also like to ask if you think reducing CMA and GPU memory is a good idea, as 320/256MiB seems a lot for such a board w/ 1GiB of RAM.

Thank you again for building this for us.

There's been reports that VNC is working but I haven't tested any remote desktop solutions myself.

Good to know your findings about hdmi_force_edid_audio property. It is specifically needed for some displays for HDMI audio to work which is why I've enabled it by default for everyone.

I can't reproduce your issue with graphical corruption. Have you modified the system in some way?

There's no plans to switch to F2FS. You could format the data partition to F2FS yourself and make changes to fstab (requires unpacking/repacking ramdisk.img in the boot partition).

1gb of RAM is really not enough to run recent Android versions. GPU also requires quite a lot memory that is allocated from the total. I've increased CMA to 320M because 256M doesn't even get you through setup wizard without running out and crashing. You're of course welcome to experiment with different values.

Prevent LineageOS from Sleeping

Hey KonstaT, thanks for the ROM.

when HDMI screen goes off, the Android is also goes off (sleep), is there any setup that can make LineageOS still running even when screen goes off ( eg. im turning off the HDMI output monitor ).
im using Raspberry Pi 3B+..

Graphics drivers used in this build by default rely on the EDID information your connected HDMI display sends (see FAQ if you want to boot without any display connected). I think it is unexpected behavior from your display if it stops sending EDID if you switch it to standby. Your Pi doesn't turn off - it crashes constantly until it gets EDID again and you see it booting back up.

Sorry, you lost me there. What exactly are you trying to do?

You need to use a HDMI display that sends EDID information. If your display stops passing EDID when it's turned off the graphics drivers are going to crash. This doesn't happen e.g. with any of my displays when switched off so it's not expected behavior. You can switch to SwiftShader software renderer that doesn't rely on the EDID but it's going to decrease graphics performance quite a bit.

REALLY great job here!!!! I spent all last night playing with this rom! I've been away from the android scene for a LONG time, so it took me a while to remember all the little tricks and extras to get things really set up 100% if I have no gapps. You should definitely consider recommending microG in your faq! I've got youtube installed and running perfectly, and IPTV plays like a champ! No other OS I've installed ro my pi3 can keep up with 1080p streaming without buffering making it practically unusable. Even watching yt with chrome on pi os is mediocre at best...this rom handles vanced yt like a beast though!

Thanks for your advice in the 17.1 thread @KonstaT 😉 sorry if I came off a bit harsh earlier.

Last I've heard MicroG requires signature spoofing patch which is not included in LineageOS for security reasons.

All MicroG features are likely not working but I haven't tested this myself.

yep, that's accurate. i'm able to log into youtube (vanced) but not chrome or the play store. i can log into google websites, just not the app. small hassle, but youtube sync is really the most important thing, personally. chrome sync would be nice, but oh well.

AndroidFileHost has issues sometimest. Try refreshing the download page or try again later.

I could find mirrors for the file just now at leas. The resize zip is actually the same for both Pi 3 & Pi 4 and different Android versions (LineageOS 16, 17 & 18).

Greetings @KonstaT ,

I used that script to divert sound to jack to test if that would solve my sounds problem.
Is there a way to revert back to HDMI sound like using a similar script without having to reinstall fresh?

Thanks in advance,

No, it's not possible to provide images with proprietary Google services because of licensing (for the history see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod#Licensing). I've retired my Pi 3 from development so I won't be providing any updates in any case.

OpenGApps pico packages increased in size at some point and no longer fits the system partition of the image. You would need to find an older package or there's other gapps alternatives available as well.

Please read the FAQ on how to boot out of TWRP recovery.

thank you for the reply, and i found a way to make it work, i used gparted on my pi4 to move the unused space closer to the system partition and gave it more room. it's using a 128 ggi sd fyi, and now it works fine.

    How to install:
    1. Follow the official Raspberry Pi instructions for writing the image to the SD card (Linux, Mac, Windows).

    FAQ:

    Q: I can’t find developer options, why?
    A: Settings -> About tablet -> Click ‘Build number’ several times

    Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
    A: You need enable root access under Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of LineageOS’ Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Manage root access. You’ll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you’re running an app that uses root permissions.

    Q: Settings -> Storage shows total system size of 4 GB. There's unallocated space on my sdcard. What should I do?
    A: This is a 4 GB image, remaining space on your sdcard will remain unallocated. You can use e.g. GParted and extend /data partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p4) to cover the unallocated space. Resizing the partition manually will break support for encrypting /data. Format /data in TWRP recovery (Wipe->Format data) after resizing to leave required space for crypto footer.

    Or you can flash my resize zip in TWRP.

    Q: My display is not working. I can only see the rainbow screen but no Android boot animation. What should I do?
    A: This build only supports HDMI displays that report supported resolutions using EDID. See this page under 'Which values are valid for my monitor?' to see how to check which resolutions your display supports using Raspbian. 1280x720 resolution is used by default with this build. If your display doesn't support 1280x720 resolution, you can try changing value in /boot/resolution.txt to something it does.

    Q: I have official 7” LCD display and touchscreen. What should I do?
    A: Official 7” touchscreen is only supported using SwiftShader software renderer. See below how to switch between different graphics drivers. You will also need to change display size under Settings -> Display -> Display size (or change ro.sf.lcd_density to 120 in /system/build.prop) to adapt to the smaller resolution.

    Q: I need to use SwiftShader software renderer to use the official 7” display or I want to boot without any display connected. What should I do?
    A: Warning, SwiftShader is a software renderer and using it affects graphics performance. You can switch between MESA and SwiftShader graphics drivers by executing following commands in ‘adb shell’/serial console/terminal (you can enable built-in terminal app from Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Local terminal):

    Code: 
    su
rpi3-graphics.sh swiftshader
    Code: 
    su
rpi3-graphics.sh mesa

    Q: Raspberry Pi doesn’t have power button, how do I power off/reboot my device?
    A: Following keyboard keys work as Android buttons: F1 = Home, F2 = Back, F3 = Multi-tasking, F4 = Menu, F5 = Power, F11 = Volume down, and F12 = Volume up. You can also use one of many third party reboot applications.

    Q: How to create a DIY hardware power button?
    A: You can send power button events by connecting GPIO21 to ground.

    powerbutton.png


    Execute following commands in ‘adb shell’/serial console/terminal (you can enable built-in terminal app from Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Local terminal) to enable the feature and reboot your device:

    Code: 
    su
rpi3-powerbutton.sh

    You can also use the DIY power button to boot the device to TWRP recovery. Press and hold the button while powering on the device until you see the TWRP screen. If you use this method to boot to recovery, you can ignore what is said about booting into/out of TWRP later in the FAQ.

    Q: How to enable audio through 3.5mm jack?
    Execute following commands in 'adb shell'/serial console/terminal (you can enable built-in terminal app from Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Local terminal) to enable the feature and reboot your device:

    Code: 
    su
rpi3-audio-jack.sh

    Q: How to boot from USB device?
    A: Warning, this is an experimental feature and there’s still some issues with it. Android shows USB storage notification for each partition and you should ignore these. TWRP shows errors in few places but everything seems to be working regardless of this.

    1. Follow the official instructions on how to enable USB boot on Pi 3 B (this step is not needed on Pi 3 B+)
    2. Write image to your USB device as above
    3. Mount the USB device on your computer and rename following files on the boot partition:
      Code: 
      mv ramdisk.img ramdisk-sdcard.img
mv ramdisk-usb.img ramdisk.img
mv ramdisk-recovery.img ramdisk-recovery-sdcard.img
mv ramdisk-recovery-usb.img ramdisk-recovery.img
    4. Plug in the USB device to your Raspberry Pi, remove any sdcard, and boot

    Q: How to boot to TWRP recovery?
    A: There’s currently no proper way to boot between Android and TWRP, but this can achieved by renaming the ramdisk you want to boot. Execute following commands in ‘adb shell’/serial console/terminal (you can enable built-in terminal app from Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Local terminal) and reboot your device:

    Code: 
    su
rpi3-recovery.sh

    If mouse cursor doesn’t appear, try replugging your mouse.

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

    Code: 
    rpi3-recovery.sh boot

    Or you can flash my recovery2boot zip in TWRP.

    Q: How to update from previous LineageOS 16.0 build without losing data?
    A:

    1. Boot to TWRP recovery with the build you want to keep the data (see FAQ)
    2. Plug in an external USB storage device and select 'Backup'
    3. Use 'Select Storage' to choose the USB device and 'Swipe to backup' (it's only necessary to backup the data partition so you can uncheck other partitions to speed up the process)
    4. Write new LineageOS 16.0 image to the sdcard following installation instructions
    5. Boot to TWRP recovery with the new build (see FAQ)
    6. Select 'Restore' and find the backup you created from the USB device ('Select Storage')
    7. Make sure you only have data selected as partitions to restore (uncheck other partitions if available) and select 'Swipe to Restore'
    8. (Flash Google apps package/other add-ons you had previously installed)
    9. Boot out of recovery (see FAQ)

    Q: How to install Google apps?
    A: Warning, installing gapps slows things down especially on low-end devices with limited amount of RAM such as this one.

    1. Download open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip and save it to your device’s internal storage or use an external USB drive
    2. Boot to TWRP recovery (see FAQ)
    3. Install open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip from your selected storage
    4. Wipe->Factory reset!
    5. Boot out of recovery (see FAQ)

    Nice! I like seeing stuff like this for the pi. I remember having so much fun tinkering with building the oreo lineage15.1 rpi3 stuff a bit ago. Also, I heard something about someone trying to sell your builds of lineage for pie, so will the lineage-16.0 branch for some of the files on the github page for this not be released to the public? Either way, I appreciate your work a lot and hope you can continue as these are amazing!

    Wasn't trying - was and still is selling builds for $9! Nothing but builds from lineage-rpi sources with some apps bundled in. It was even promoted on Pi Foundation's own MagPi Magazine as his work and the article was brought to my attention. I spent _a lot_ of time on this last fall but couldn't really get anywhere. You can read about it e.g. here and here.

    What makes this very problematic for Exton is that he is not complying with GPLv2 that Linux kernel is licensed under. GPLv2 obligates anyone distributing a binary to release a complete corresponding source code. Even if the only modification you make is stick your own name on other people's work...

    That is exactly why I haven't published lineage-16.0 branches apart from the Linux kernel (https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_kernel_brcm_rpi3/tree/lineage-16.0) as that is naturally also my legal obligation. You can't do Android with just the Linux kernel source, though. I was thinking about putting up a private GitLab project where I could share the source code with reputable developers who actually have some ideas how they want to improve what is already available. I know some companies are you using my previous LineageOS builds which is why I've licensed some stuff under non-commercial license in this one. They've been asking for private tech support but I still can't get as much as a donation even when promised. :(
