[DEV][ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9) for Raspberry Pi 4 B

[KonstaT]

Well, meanwhile if you switch to Raspbian, then all works fine, it seems like some SW issue. is there any way to tune Wi-Fi in Andriod?

Yes, software issue for sure. Also 5GHz wifi doesn't work for some reason (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=261228&start=100#p1641299). There might be some issue related to wifi region i.e. which channels you can use.

i cant figure out why i keep having issues. etcher kept giving me checksums dont match and when it finished the bootlogo it would shut down and start from scratch again, but when i used etcher portable it worked fine with no errors but the pi still wont boot into lineage. it still shuts off once it finishes the bootlogo.

Does somebody know if a gsm module would work and you would be able to make calls or send SMS ?

This build doesn't have Android telephony stack so anything like that is not going to work out-of-the-box of course.

It's possible to create builds with telephony and drivers for certain modem hardware. I have Quectel EC25 LTE modem and mobile data and SMS are working fine. It's also possible to make/receive calls but in-call audio is not implemented yet. There's also other similar modems with Android drivers available.

do you maybe have a tutorial or something I can read to make a build with such drivers ? it would be awesome.

Thank you very much again!

Modem manufacturer provides binary drivers and documentation on how to implement it on Android build.

There's source and build instructions for LineageOS 14.1 and 15.1 builds for the Pi 3 (https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_local_manifest/tree/cm-14.1 & https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_local_manifest/tree/lineage-15.1, respectively). I haven't released the full device specific source code for my LineageOS 16.0 builds because someone sold builds off of the sources I previously released without complying with the open source licensing.

Hi @KonstaT

Thanks for sharing this project with us.

Is there any progress on hardware video decoding & encoding?
I'm guessing this is the last piece in allowing the pi to be a proper media playback device?

 

[KonstaT]

New build.

https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi4/LineageOS16.0/

-add support for storage devices with exFAT filesystem
-hide su binary when root access is not enabled in developer options
-support for booting from USB devices (see FAQ)
-add support for PCM512x audio DACs (tested with Hifiberry DAC+)
-improve support for Waveshare HDMI touchscreens
-fix recording videos with camcorder
-add TWRP flashable zip to resize data partition (see FAQ)
-update TWRP to 3.3.1-1
-update to Linux 4.19.132 kernel and patch known vulnerabilities (CVE-xxxx-xxxx, and more)
-Android security patch level: 5 July 2020 (merged)

And there's now also an Android TV build:

Hi KonstaT

I am an undergraduate and in this period i am developing some apps such as Alexa app custom on android automotive emulator
So i need a miracle!
I mean, now i am working on sdk Alexa for Android and now i am testing music skills for example "Play Bluetooth" but for this skill i need to android image with Bluetooth Ad2p Sink,Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) and Hands-Free Profile Sink (HFP) profiles enabled.
These profiles are enabled in android automotive os
So, it's possible to have an Android Automotive OS build for Raspberry Pi 4?or a normal build android with these bluetooth profiles enabled for raspberry pi 4?
I know, a miracle is needed but I am hopeful
Thanks a lot

This build uses the default bluetooth feature configuration (https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...ob/lineage-16.0/res/values/config.xml#L16-L35). It's possible to have more features enabled Android side but it doesn't mean hardware supports it or that it actually works. Last time I tested mic did't work on my bluetooth headset so there's no voice input.

 

[Dodorino]

Thanks a lot for the support
So, i will try to build Lineage enabling some Bluetooth feature in config.xml
I need the usb microphone on raspberry to work, no on bluetooth headset. In this way i am be able to use ad2p and avrcp profile for playing music bluetooth and call from my phone paired with raspberry

Hi
I am trying the Android TV, thanks for this great job.
I have install GApps ...it is ok. but I cant use Chromecast functionalty. On my Smartphone I see the Chromecast button and I see "raspberry pi 4 TV" but there is nothing on rpi' s screen. The Netflix app said error "Sscr-s4010-2204..."
Somebody has tried Chromecast functionalty ?
Thanks a lot

I think that Chromecast support only works on official Android TV devices. Same goes for the Android TV Remote Control app.

I think so
But with the official remote control App I havent issue. I was able to connect it at first boot when proposed to configure.
I am newbie but I hope there will be a solution to solve the problm....
Again thanks a lot

Nice, the official remote app does indeed work!

As for Chromecast, there's bunch of errors on the logs. Looks like it needs server side certification.

Thanks for your work.
I will use it with Raspbery Pi 4 8 GB in car. I need to auto power on-off according to igniton. I have applied your "How to create a DIY hardware power button?" Power off function is OK. Short press is screen off and long press is power menu. I just need power off without menu but i think can do it by some script or command etc. But i have problem about power on. If i push to button when power state off, nothing happens. Is it normal? Or did i wrong someting?

Second issue is that boot time is more than 1 minute. My micro sd card is Sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10. Old model. Same question again. Is it normal?
BTW i have ordered SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro MicroSDXC.

My third question is that which your OS is suitable for carputer? Should i stick with this? Or should i upgrade to your LineageOS 17.1?

You should most definitely use LineageOS 17.1 instead. This build is most likely discontinued and there's won't be any updates.

The DIY power button acts exactly like a power button on any Android device. There's a script in the LineageOS 17.1 thread to power down the device on GPIO event. I've been told GPIO3 can be used to power on the device.

Android just takes certain time to boot. Around minute is normal.

I have flashed it. Woww it's just floading. Very fast. Thank you very much. Now time to handle power issue. I will keep going in the LineageOS 17.1 thread. Thanks again.
