It seems that npjohnson will not refuse to provide us a tablet version of this ROM eventually, which will be able to work without GApps and becomes the basis for the separate MicroG builds (or give us the opportunity to install GApps/MicroG with our own hands). Isn't that what you were looking for?

There will be ATV Gapps less builds as well. Just not while we figure out OMX.
And yeah tablet builds at some point.
Before this thread was started, I considered investing in building a DIY ATV box with Raspberry Pi 4, but abandoned this idea because of a similar issue: the developers of android builds for Pi4 for years now can't get the HW video decoder to work. Looks like some kind of universal scourge...
Does this also apply to Odroid C4? Because LineageS for C4 and other Odroid boards has existed for a long time, so maybe its author knows the solution.
I'm in contact with him.
It's broken there too, and due to newer kernel, theirs can't ever work.
Ours has a chance but us broken as hell lol
Hello. I'm a bit stuck with a Dynalink (wade). I've been trying to flash the Lineage Recover (20211118) but it always remains on stock; even after reflashing stock (downgrading from Aug'21 update to Feb'21). I can boot into the recovery (via fastboot boot recover.img) but I get stuck on sideloading, as adb stops working for me when I go to Update->Update from ADB. So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong
I'm following the instructions as-is, except that fastboot reboot recovery isn't working for me (so I just reboot to system, enable adb and continue)
Edit:: After Fiddling around a few times; I managed to get it installed. -- Very unfortunate to deal with google again

Yeah, 4 small pins next to the micro usb port. middle two are what you want.
Could you guys please share your thoughts on the potential workability of such a solution with dopinder and others? It would be nice to use it in conjunction with a cheap USB splitter to overcome the lack of physical ports (especially the wired Internet), and I especially like the lack of requirement for a dedicated power here, but I can't know how it would work and which option (USB 2.0 or 3.0) to prefer for greatest compatibility.
I saw this (below) from feabay for $7.
I am thinking this should work, because it was made for the fire tv crap.

3-pack of similar on Amazon for the same price. One is enough to plug in a keyboard to navigate the Lineage recovery, and I didn't try to daisy-chain a 2nd one for other things.
Yeah, my thinking is plugging in the power y adapter that I post above.
Then plug in a hub from there.
This one from Amazon works for me with ethernet and a keyboard. Haven't added a flash drive as of yet tho I suspect it will work.
Nice! I think they are very similar internally. Is your unit exactly the USB 2.0 one?
I'm having issues launching Disney+ and HBO Max videos on my Onn. Is this is user problem or do these two services fall under the OMX umbrella? The OP only mentions Netflix specifically so I thought I was good. I haven't tried other services yet as I just installed Lineage.
They are part of the Amazon cloud storage service.
Amazon cloud service was down yesterday. I really do not know if it is back yet as I do not use Disney or HBO.
Try a rebooting..
Just throwing this out there.
Thanks for the reply but AWS isn't the issue. I just tried a few services on my PC without any issues. However on my Onn 4K running Lineage I tried AMC+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Pluto TV, KODI, and Amazon Prime Video. I could navigate all of these just fine, it was only when selected something to stream did something happen. AMC, HBO, and Hulu threw up error codes, Amazon Prime locked up the whole device, Disney would restart the app. Pluto and KODI played just fine. KODI is local DRM-free stuff so that makes sense and Pluto I don't *think* uses DRM which would explain why it works.
I guess I'll be returning to stock unless the ETA on the OMX issue is relatively soon. I could deal with a paperweight for another month tops. But I doubt the devs will announce an ETA on the fix, which is probably the smart move to make for them.
Yet another OT post here (sorry) but I am curious about this in developer options. Any idea?

Just wondering - does this ROM remap the keyboard such that backspace is no longer mapped to the hardware back button on the Onn Box?

Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices
Code:- Your warranty is now void. - You have been warned. - Use at your own risk.
Introduction:
This is the Official Lineage OS 19.1 thread for the Amlogic G12*/SM1 SoC family of devices.
Downloads:
Please follow the install instructions in your device's Wiki page linked below exactly, and make sure your device's firmware matches the required firmware listed:
Official Builds:
Disclaimer: My unofficial builds have full Android TV Google Apps and some other goodies included. OTA's roll roughly once a month. Support not guaranteed or implied.
Unofficial Builds:
- deadpool - Google ADT-3
- dopinder - Walmart Onn UHD Box
- sabrina - Chromecast with Google TV
- wade - Dynalink TV Box (4K)
We also support a few development boards, but at least (for now, until we have time to write up instructions), you're on your own to figure out the install process and set things up:
EDIT: The development boards don't boot on LineageOS 19.1 at the moment for some reason, we're looking into it.
If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.
Known Bugs:
- Recent apps/Multitasking menu doesn't launch.
- (sabrina only) The remote firmware sometimes gets hung up, you can reboot to solve this issue.
- (dopinder/sabrina) L1 is currently broken, this is what is holding up official builds for these devices.
- GApps are baked in on Unofficial builds - No, I will not be building without GApps included for this device. These builds are built, packaged, and signed by me, and not affiliated with LineageOS whatsoever.
- Firmware is shipped in the ROM package for this device, so you'll end up on the newest version of compatible firmware after install. Please don't touch firmware partitions after install.
- On the unofficial OTA is provided the same way officials would have them.
- Find any more on an official build? Report them according to this guide.
- Does L1 Widevine DRM break when I unlock my bootloader?
Nope, it works fine. L1 certificates, and the mechanism that reports is all still exist and work as expected.
- Can I haz Netflix?
Yup! Play Store has it for you. Unless you're on dopinder or sabrina, but that will be fixed soon hopefully.
- Is this Android TV or Google TV?
Android TV, with some of the better components of Google TV.
- Can I go back to stock and relock the bootloader?
Yeah, grab the factory image for your device and flash it just like you would for a Pixel device, you can find the factory images here. Don't know it I'd relock though, consider that process largely untested on these device. Especially on sabrina, where you can't necessarily re-unlock should you ever want to.
- Are these the stock codenames for these devices?
Astute observation, no, they are not. The ADT-3 is actaully `adt3`, but earlier in production is was `deadpool`, which is much cooler. The Dynalink box internally is extremely similar to the ADT-3, so we coined it `wade` after Wade Wilson, AKA deadpool. The Onn box is in the same family, but different enough to coin it `dopinder`, after, well, go watch Deadpool the movie I guess. sabrina is actually the codename given by Google - no clue as to the reason.
- Does it pass SafetyNet?
Maybe - the only sure fire way it Magisk, as our boot loader is unlocked and can't be relocked safely.
- Does the stock remote work?
Yup, just like it would on stock, in-remote-microphone and all! If it's an IR remote like wade's, it will even work in recovery!
- Can we we support higher resolution than 4K, higher FPS, or HDR on non-certified screens?
Nope.
- I have a very similar device! Can I install these builds and use them?
No. Please don't do that. You will brick your device, as we include firmware and bootloader images.
If you're a developer looking to help port to a new device, contact me.

Found a procedure for dopinder without the need for keyboard/OTG.
The docs under "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" state to use "adb reboot fastboot" which doesn't work for booting recovery, needed to do "adb reboot bootloader" instead.
Full command log (after unlocking bootloader and re-enabling USB debugging) of the install process with just a regular Micro USB to USB A cable:
Code:adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash recovery lineage-18.1-20210805-recovery-dopinder.img fastboot boot lineage-18.1-20210805-recovery-dopinder.img adb reboot sideload adb sideload lineage-18.1-20210805-UNOFFICIAL-dopinder.zip # if successful then load bootloader and factory reset adb reboot bootloader fastboot -w fastboot reboot
Successfully booted to LineageOS after this!6Note:
Since the Lineage Android TV Builds for this little box (aka Boxes), are stable for the most part, but seems
people are bouncing back in forth from Stock to Lineage and back to stock.
I created a batch file that will auto flash the stock images and wipe data and so on.. pretty much it will
make your box as it was when you first booted it after taking it home to try it.
2nd, I also created a batch file that will backup current images.. No need for a fancy recovery or anything like the
such. it will use the worldcup or what I like to say, USB Burn mode, and backup each and every partition.
as well as some not so much needed ones like, misc and metadata. (Just for giggles)..
backups will be copied to backup dir, I also created a separate batch file to restore your backup.
I am one that hates doing things the long way over and over, so I always create ways to make things simple
in the future for people.
This way, you all can test your hearts out all the new lineages and still have your full Stock backup (including data).
and restore back in forth as you wish.
I will upload the backup_restore zip package as soon as I can and with @npjohnson permission I will link
in thread. Otherwise you will have to just DM/PM me and ill link you the location.
I am just trying to help the many that I seen complain and dont understand how to go back in forth.
so with this script, it should take care of most on that. No Fancy Recovery needed...
you will need worldcup driver for Amlogic........ you can find that on your own.
Also, to get into USB Burn mode, press side button while plugging in USB cable.
Keep pressing till you see the LOGO or hear the sound from your computer.
then just run the batch file and wait..
if its easier for you:
Run the batch file, it will keep saying waiting for device..
Just press the side button while plugging in USB, when you see it start, then release button...........
and wait till finished..
Only TESTED On Dopinder Boxes, but im sure they are all the same as for the partition layouts.
