Yes but the Pi won't boot, it just shows "Android" and a purple background when I plug it into a monitor.
[Raspberry Pi Development] p7810456:
Nevermind it actually starts. It just takes a while to do so.
[Raspberry Pi Development] p7810456:
After it flashes, the subsequent reboot seems to hang and will not turn on despite waiting for a long time. Should I let it run or is it just frozen? The boot animation keeps playing. Thanks in advance!

Raspberry Pi supports android things which I thinks shares the AOSP code. So can’t some vendor blobs and other stuff be taken from it. I would be really great to have a fully working android tv on Raspberry Pi.

unable to connect to the pi via adb

Hi,

Ive got everything going and i have the pi running the PiTV.

I am stuck at the point off flashing the gapps though and this step....

10. Boot up your Pi and connect it to your network (highly recommended to hardwire it or it will be a b*** to flash GAPPS)

I dont know how to hardwire the pi to set up the initial adb.

Any help or pointers please.:(

I ve got the script ready and waiting and have run it as instructed but cant find my device.
[Raspberry Pi Development] VALKYR13:
Look what I found. Shhhh.....

After having so much trouble with getting Gapps to install I went on a hunt and came across all the exton builds with working Gapps, Well certainly in 6.0.1 MM. just about to test an N build.

raspis(dot)ddscentral(dot)org/pub/downloads/android-x86/exton/

start web address with https://

Replace (dot) with a .
[Raspberry Pi Development] VALKYR13:
Nope, N has the same issues as before, 6.0.1 works nicely albeit a little slower than I would like.
[Raspberry Pi Development] Leon0402:
Hello again,

I found out that I haven't installed rsync. I guess, it would be helpful if this is edited to the first post :)

Unfortunalety my second error still exits. I read all 36 pages and saw a lot of users having the same problem. There is also a solution: delete system/priv-app/GooglePackageInstaller... Sadly, it does not work or at least I am not able to get it work.

On my system partition there does not exits this file in prive-app -> there is just the file PackageInstaller (which will be deleted by the script of gapp, I suppose). But there is a GooglePackageInstaller on the system partition in sys/priv-app -> I tried it with this...

I am not quite sure if I deleted the right file and in the right time. So here is exactly what I did:

1. Installing the rom (works fine)

2. Editing the gapps.sh with the raspi Ip

3. Running the command

-> no error, but the terminal responses something like execuding adb as root, then nothing happens, so I stop the process

4. Now I run the command a second time, this time everything works (software is downloades and installes) and the raspi reboots in the endless boot (it stucks, where the android symbol appears) -> there are a lot of "no device/emulator found" errors (like above)

5. I stop the process, turn down the raspberry, plug the sd card in my computer and delte the GooglePackageInstaller folder with the file in it (on the system partition /sys/priv-app!)

6. I put the sd card in my raspi again, boot it and run the command of the gasper.sh

-> Ip adress not found anymore

Have I done anything wrong? there is no GooglePackageInstaller in the priv-app folder just in /sys/priv-app ... the sys folder is createe after the second run of the command (it does not exits before).

I hope, someone can give me advice or an alternative solutution!

Best regards, Leon
[Raspberry Pi Development] Leon0402:
It finally works after having deleted GooglePackageInstaller completly from gapps (there were two folders, just use the search). I also made the chances in gapps.sh mentioned earlier in this thread.

After reboot there were some problems with getting into the setup process, pressing esc a few times helped.

Thanks for all the advice from the posts earlier :)

[Raspberry Pi Development] talon_dgnr8:
Has anyone looked at Emteria? I have that working on my pi3b with gapps installed...smallest package i think (pico) or whatever. Emteria is a built for commercial purposes but you can use it for free without paying for their licensing and the only catch is that it has a popup warning you about a required reboot every 8 hours. I was fiddling around with it for a head unit in my truck. I have automate installed on it and it seems to be okay albeit a little slower than I'd like. I don't have a touchscreen for it yet but when I do I'll be trying to get that going. I bring it up as there may be something useful in that build for this one.

hello folks, quick question....

i was successfully able to flash the aosp rom onto an sd card and the RPI3 boots up fine. When i execute the gapps.sh script, it installs the gapps onto the AOSP via rsync,adb,etc.... When the rpi3 does the last boot, it goes back to the original screen (settings/network) and no google apps. i see it in the apps list and when i select 'open' it tells me the version is not compatible. What am i doing wrong?

[Raspberry Pi Development] Lantizia:
Hey I've looked through this thread and can't find anyone mentioning this, so here goes...

Can this build use the official touch display for the Raspberry Pi? The one that has the drivers built into raspbian OS... this one...

WWW raspberrypi.org SLASH products SLASH raspberry-pi-touch-display (the best I can do to post a URL as I'm a new user)

I'd imagine a good use for this would be a little screen in a kitchen with Android TV... something where you may not need (but can still use) a remote so you could just use your fingers - but an Android TV interface is still beneficial over traditional Android as it's less fiddly.

Is the opengapps package provided has been patched in anyway ?

Or can I use an updated version from opengapps.org by modifying the script from https://github.com/bjsiu/rpi3-gapps to point to latest tvstock for android 7.1 ?

Because I am stuck at reboot after installing gapps now. Stuck at Android boot logo. Nothing happens foro minutes.

Should be ok. I've gotten to work on monitors using adapter, and TVs. You can just adjust the config.txt on the boot partition as you would any other pi OS.

Sure, read this: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Then go here: https://github.com/tab-pi/platform_manifest

If your question is if you can set up your pi for Android from a Windows machine, the answer is no. You need Linux. Just set up a VM with a minimal ubuntu install.
[Raspberry Pi Development] dirtymusic:
Hi guys, is it necessary to create own build? I'm not so familiar with aosp projects, but I like the idea. Is there any possibility that image of SD card will be shared in future same as for any other rPI OSes? Thank you guys and good job Tabp0le, thank you for sharing your work.

Yeah, it's shared on the OP. You don't have to build it.

I had the same problem, you need to install adb ^^

Congratulations to Developer OP

I am new to RPi and struggled to get this rom installed. I followed the OP with many attempts and did have final success. I was not able to install using Mint booting DVD PCxWindows XP. I made the PC dual boot Mint/Windows. Was not able to install using USB adapter for MicroSdcard. Problem was could not identify mcblk???. Worked in adapter in card slot. I read through this thread and encountered the same problems. The rom resembles a Sony TV release I just installed with Nougat 7.0.

I was able to sideload apk from PC using adb. I haven't been successful yet with Mint.

I could use some help from participants here. I enjoy the testing. I'd ruined a successful install by editing 'config.txt' to get full screen on TV. I don't know why the rom would not boot after editing. I would like to do an image backup of my MicroSdCard install so that I can restore if I make mistake. I would also like to get a more conventional root. Apps like Root Explorer, EsFile Explorer, and Titanium Backup do not find root.

I did get Playstore working. I did get Netflix working with release netflix-4.16-200147-release.apk, It is not on Apkmirror. I got it from Netflix download when an Android box I had would not run Netflix. Kodi works but not fully. I restored a Kodi backup from my SonyTV. For some reason some of Video Addons did not work. But some did. An app that works wonderfully is "Pluto TV".

I checked and USB debugging is enabled in the development options.

I tried to force the connection with the command "adb connect 192.168.0.22" and that tells me "connected to 192.168.0.22:5555.

when I type "adb devices" it confirms that I am well connected

would you have an idea of what to do?
[Raspberry Pi Development] Mikeyb2k:
I didn't have much luck with the tadpole build. If you want to sack off gapps as it seems to mess things up then I'd suggest you use Aptoide from their website. Gapps is tricky as you probably know and when making sure have the right version when rooting mobile devices etc can be a faff.

Also I've found that the following has worked so far and if you have a spare 16gb card or more so then it doesn't take long and seems to work alright. The developer updates his website too. He's a bit short with newcomers but I'd give him his due for the build in this link. Hopefully newer ones will be more compatible with the pi board as well.

Oh and the lineage rom root access gives the option of app and or adb so that might sort your adb issue.

Hello,

finally this morning I retested and after starting the computer the installation of gapps was successful.

1st attempt = bootloop

2nd attempt = Ok after removing "GooglePackageInstaller"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit : a lot of bugs in the end on this version

* after installing the gapps = more access to the development options = stopped working

* can not install apps on the playstore = remain pending installation

* Regularly screen flicker

I managed to install applications through ADB, example Netflix but it does not work: error 100)

I tried to update google play services but it requires me to uninstall the previous version and I did not succeed with ADB and can not uninstall them from Android TV

Are there solutions to his problems?

Bootloop when Installing GApps - Tried the suggested fixes

Hello,

I have been struggling to install Gapps for a while now. The RP3 ends up in boot loop.

I have been able to install apks over adb (sideload) but the gapps provided cannot be sideloaded because there are not signed with a valid certificate.

- I have deleted GooglePackageInstaller,

- I am using Ethernet cable,

- I even instructed my router to give static ip to the RP3

but the script results in boot loop after this lines:

echo " * Enforcing a reboot, please be patient..."
wait_for_adb
reboot_device

I have tried other gapps from open_gapps as well but the same thing occurs.

What else should I try? is there any other method of installing the Gapps? Has someone noticed any other apk that needs to be deleted?

Help please I have read almost the entire thread and I dont know what else I can try.
[Raspberry Pi Development] Mikeyb2k:
Remove all gapp applications and download Aptoide apk from their website. Also try this as worked ok for me.

The below build from konstakang has worked and for me has a good functionality and minimal crashes so far.

http://konstakang.com/devices/rpi3/CM14.1/

I have tried the more recent Oreo 15.1 build but this one has a better display performance. There is a bug with not being able to change the wallpaper but will check with konstakang how to get working.

I tried the build before looking into over clocking but a revisit greatly improved performance and less lag by editing config.txt. Accessed config.txt from a root search via Nautilus after flashing the downloaded image via etcher. Only added

force_turbo=1 #Voids Warranty!

boot_delay=1 #helps to avoid sdcard corruption when force_turbo is enabled.

I didn’t go any further with over clocking as this seems to make the difference. Not seen the CPU temp more than 70c yet. Check out the below link.

https://haydenjames.io/raspberry-pi-3-overclock/

Finally to get things up and running no need for the play store at all so I wouldn’t even bother. It only causes major crashes and Aptoide is sufficient. I have root access from the settings menu and have downloaded quick root reboot. Chrome and Showbox along with mx player. All working. CPUx gives stats such as core temp. Will be able to get terminal access also from app download. The media apps do seem to shutdown occasionally but i hope a wifi dongle upgrade add-on will sort this out.

http://en.aptoide.com

Hope this helps someone and let me know if have the same or different luck. Big up to the developers and website authors!
