[DEV][ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 19 (Android 12L) for Raspberry Pi 4 B
- Thread starter KonstaT
- Start date
I'm using Waveshare touchscreen model B and I see the rainbow screen then black. I know the hdmi cable is fine with EDID, and the touchscreen works fine on non-EDID operating systems. So, is there any way to use Lineage without an EDID display? Maybe editing something in config.txt...
You can add custom EDID firmware to the kernel by appending /boot/cmdline.txt with 'drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/{your_edid_firmware}.bin'. In some cases this would require creating a custom EDID firmware for your display and compiling the kernel. See https://github.com/lineage-rpi/android_device_brcm_rpi4/issues/4
Is it possible to use this 4G sim hat: Waveshare SIM7600X which accepts standard AT commands via UART on GPIO pins 8 & 10? Can the RIL be configured to talk on these pins?
No, you can't use any LTE modem out-of-the-box. My builds are configured as wifi only tablet so they don't even have Android telephony framework. I have builds that have support Sixfab modem HAT and Quectel EC25. LTE data and SMS works fine. It's also possible to make/receive calls but in-call audio is not working. It's not something that I plan to include in public releases as practically no one has the hardware.
Some 3G/LTE USB dongles have been reported working using third party apps (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget3).

If you consider that to be snarky or rude you haven't seen anything.
And yes, I linked the reply to make the information available here as well.1

18Here’s my build of LineageOS 19 for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Pi 400, and Compute Module 4. It is unofficial and unsupported by the LineageOS team. It’s for advanced users only. Pi 4 model with at least 2GB of RAM is required to run this build.

You can contact me by email to discuss creating customized Android builds for commercial purposes.
There is also Android TV version available.
Working:
- Audio (HDMI, 3.5mm jack, USB microphones, bluetooth speakers/headphones, etc)
- Audio DAC (using GPIO DACs e.g. Hifiberry DAC+)
- Bluetooth (and bluetooth tethering)
- Camera (using official Pi camera modules & UVC USB webcams)
- GPIO
- GPS (using external USB modules e.g. U-Blox 7)
- Ethernet
- Hardware accelerated graphics (V3D, OpenGL & Vulkan)
- HDMI display (and HDMI-CEC)
- I2C
- IR remotes (using external GPIO IR modules e.g. TSOP4838)
- RTC (using external GPIO I2C modules e.g. DS3231)
- Sensors (using external GPIO I2C modules e.g. MPU6050, LSM6DS3, LSM303DLHC, BME280/BMP280, and APDS9930 accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, temperature, pressure, humidity, ambient light, and proximity)
- Serial console (using external GPIO serial console adapters e.g. PL2303)
- SPI
- Touchscreen/multi-touch (official 7" touchscreen, USB touchscreens, Waveshare SPI touchscreens)
- USB (mouse, keyboard, storage, etc)
- USB-C (ADB, MTP, PTP, USB tethering)
- Wifi (and wifi tethering)
Not working:
- Hardware video decoding & encoding (software decoding & encoding works, option to test highly experimental H.264 hardware video decoding)
Issues:
- Camcorder & some third party camera apps don't work with official Pi camera modules
- SELinux is in permissive mode
- and more…

4New build.
-switch to Linux 5.10 kernel by default
-fix VC4 HDMI audio with 5.10 kernel (3.5mm jack is now used by default so select the right HDMI device from the settings)
-add support for the official 7" touchscreen display with hw accelerated graphics (enable configurations for the touchscreen from the settings)
-minor brightness fixes for the official 7" display
-add support for Pi camera modules using libcamera, preview & photos work - camcorder doesn't (thanks to Roman Stratiienko)
-fix UVC USB webcams that use external camera HAL (camera needs to support MJPG format - preview, photos & camcorder works)
-add option to enable currently very WIP H.264 hardware video decoding using v4l2_codec2 (enable experimental feature from the settings)
-fix reboots related to Hotspot 2.0 networks/ANQP requests (see issue #6)
-Vulkan 1.1 (thanks to people at Igalia for Vulkan 1.1 conformance and Roman Stratiienko for latest Mesa fixes)
-update to Mesa 21.3.1
-update to Linux 5.10.83 kernel and patch known vulnerabilities (CVE-xxxx-xxxx, and more)
-Android security patch level: 5 December 2021 (merged)3New build. Added optional Linux 5.10 kernel add-on to test a lot of WIP stuff.
-add option to show virtual volume down, volume up, and power keys on navigation bar (requires reboot)
-add option for old TCP-based ADB over network

-update to Linux 5.10.81 kernel and patch known vulnerabilities (CVE-xxxx-xxxx, and more)3
MicroG requires a patch for signature spoofing that is not included in LineageOS for security reasons. I think this is also something that can be achieved using Magisk (which is now supported) but haven't looked into it.
I'm pretty confident it will work eventually. Soon(™) is also a relative term.
Short term goal is to get some proof of concept that stateful H.264 V4L2 dec/enc can work on Android on Pi 4. Just made some minor progress with v4l2_codec2 couple of days ago and got the dec/enc codec2 component to even do something in the first place. Not sure if the current issues I'm having are due to memory allocation or the codec component negotiating with the kernel driver. There's also still some hardcoded buffer sizes, etc that depend on the video resolution you're trying to dec/enc. Only real hardware that I'm aware that just recently has this working at least to some extent is dragonboard and John Stultz has tweeted some updates on the matter so check those out if you're interested.
Sorry if this wasn't the news you were looking for but things like this take time.3
And that didn't even take too long. \o/ But yes, H.264 V4L2 hardware decoding can work on Android on the Pi 4!
Something still getting messed up somewhere in the pipeline so the colors are not correct and there's a green tint on the bottom half of the playback.
