Now called "Utawarerumono: False Mask", it is set to release in Japan on September 24. Also, another sequel is planned.
The flashcard script from the README.pdf does not work for me. Since I could not find a matching sfdisk.
Take care to select the proper device. In general /dev/sd[a..z] is your sd-card. Here I write "/dev/sdX" rename this to your sd-card device.
Unfortunately the system partition of the image is too small to install the GAPPS. So this is what I did:
3. Create a new ext4 primary partition and label the partition data from the end of the extended partition of the end of your sd-card.
6. Create a new ext4 logical partition and label the partition device. The size should be at least 16MB.
You will see some failures that the Setup and PlayStore could bot be loaded. Do not care go ahead with the next step to set the permissions.
Since the adb via TCP is not enabled you have to connect to the serial port of your wandboard /dev/ttyXXX, 115400,8,n,1
3. This needs openjdk-7 for the build process, which isn't available in the default packages on Ubuntu 16.04, so I used an older Ubuntu 14.04.
6. You don't need to resize the partitions manually! You can edit <android_source>/device/fsl/common/tools/fsl-sdcard-partition.sh, which contains the settings for partition sizes:
7. When it comes time to write the image to sdcard, the 'flashcard' command had an error, where it couldn't find 'mkimage'. Well, mkimage is in the PATH, but it tries to run it with 'sudo', and the PATH changes when you run sudo. So, I edited <source>/cookers/env.bash.imx6.edm1cf-sd.wandboard.hdmi (or the other env file if you're on RevD1) to copy the PATH through the sudo command. If you search for "ramdisk" in that script, you'll see a line a few lines down which looks like this:
In @freed's instructions (above), it took me a while to realize where extract_gapps.sh was supposed to come from. It's attached to his post (duh!). I was looking for it in the gapps zip.
You need to edit extract_gapps.sh to make the timestamp and gapps version (pico, nano, etc.) match the version of gapps that you downloaded.
After running extract_gapps.sh, you'll have a new subfolder called 'gapps'. That's when you run @freed's command "cd gapps/sys", and "cp -arv <destination>"
9. After booting Android, I ran @freed's commands to fix permissions. This should be obvious, but I confused myself when trying to figure out how to run the commands. I had my serial line connected to the Wandboard's serial port (you need a null-modem serial adapter, by the way), but also had a keyboard hooked up to the USB port. I kept typing on the USB keyboard instead of the PC keyboard, so I was sending keystrokes to the Android GUI instead of to the serial console. (Doh!)
Here's a way you can automate the fixing of the permissions. We'll add a service (in this case, a script file) that will run at startup, sleep for 5 minutes (300 seconds), then run the permissions commands.
If you want to merge GApps directly into the system_raw.img (while we still have it mounted), rather than onto the sdcard later, you can do so now:
(If you didn't add GApps to the system_raw.img, you'll want to add it directly to the sdcard now using the method in earlier posts).
When you boot, you'll need to wait at least 6 minutes: 30 seconds before it runs our script, and the script sleeps for 5 minutes. Assuming your sdcard isn't too slow, this should give GApps plenty of time to install before our permissions are set.
One problem I've found with this ROM so far is that the HDMI doesn't carry audio. The audio stays on the audio jack of the wandboard. But I was able to use SoundAbout app to force the audio to HDMI. I don't know enough about Android internals yet to change it in the configuration.
Also, I tried the existing images with kodi but the performance of the video are very poor compared to linux distro like geexbox, or arch.
To use the method I described above without a rebuild, you would need to unpack the ramdisk.img on partition 1, modify init.freescale.rc, and repack the ramdisk.img. I don't enough about the ramdisk.img to know how to unpack it.
