Can you try changing the picture mode in tv ? There are so many modes like, game movie etc.. The problem with TVs are that they do a lot of post processing. Try something with low refresh rate..
[Raspberry Pi Development] NeoAmnesyth:
i dont have the GooglePackageInstaller, and it is stuck at ENFORCING REBOOT.
[Raspberry Pi Development] Krystanos:
I have formatted the SD card, and when booting the system, it takes aeons to load, then the launcher does not respond. After a bit, it displays with settings and webview (no gapps yet). When I try to start the settings, I get a blank screen. I guess they will display in a few minutes.

Have anyone seen the same behavior? As a first guess I would have said that the SD Card is too slow, but this is a class 10.
[Raspberry Pi Development] ad_on_is:
Are there any updates on this project? Or at least any suggestions how one could help to improve, make it more stable, fix bugs, etc.?
[Raspberry Pi Development] **Menos**:
Can't access Developer options, Settings application just crashing.
[Raspberry Pi Development] tabp0le:
Still a big WIP in my spare time.

That seems to happen with gapps installed, but works without gapps. It's odd.
[Raspberry Pi Development] **Menos**:
Found temporary fix for screen flickering. You just need to add these strings to the end of your build.prop file:

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=0
debug.composition.type=gpu
dev.pm.gpu_samplingrate=1
debug.sf.hw=1
debug.egl.hw=1

This will enable GPU renderer instead of CPU and will fix flickering, but this is not a solution, it's just a patch. As for me, the main problem is the need to refine the video decoder.
[Raspberry Pi Development] ad_on_is:
modified /system/build.prop and rebooted, but the flickering still persists
[Raspberry Pi Development] tabp0le:
I'll attempt patching the rendering for the next release​. I'll try to get one out this week. Sorry they aren't constant, I'm just very busy.
[Raspberry Pi Development] Renegade1504:
Hi there, no problem take your time. Android is not all for life :silly: Will wait patently.
[Raspberry Pi Development] matwlodek:
very nice build!

I have managed to run it on my Pi3. About screen flickering. I Have used MENOS fix, and I think it's working. When I wait for android full boot (show android tv menu with apps) and then close the Bluetooth Share and Netflix (they are forced close) it run really smooth. KODI is working, YouTube as said - no video, audio only, Spotify is working, ES File working good, Real Racing 3 - had to try :D downloaded required files, but it just crash at the start screen. Couldn't manage to work GoogleCast, Gapps TVStock - installed with script. Google Play Store not working as mentioned in earlier posts, just "pending install". Waiting for next build :) Congrats for port! :)
[Raspberry Pi Development] Blackwyvern:
Netflix run?
[Raspberry Pi Development] MaxLeggieri:
Stucked on the "Android" splash screen

Dear tabp0le,

First, thanks for your great work!

I got some problems with the sh script, it starts installing apps but at some point it says that not enough space is available. I've enlarged the "system" partition and solved but at the first reboot the pi remains stucked at the splash screen and also doesn't reconnect to the net (wired) so it doesn't reconnect to the ADB.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Max
[Raspberry Pi Development] tabp0le:
Try finding the google installer folder and deleting it.
[Raspberry Pi Development] bshiznit:
[MENTION=5471195]tabp0le[/MENTION] I've built from source using the android-rpi repo on github... is there any consensus yet on the screen flickering? Happy to help track it down - it boots!!! Good work on this BTW :)
[Raspberry Pi Development] MaxLeggieri:
Yes, but since disk space is not a problem how this can fix the problem?

Thanks

Max
[Raspberry Pi Development] whistler-nl:
The flickering is caused by the video driver. There's no vc4 driver from Broadcom for Android.

Just login to your raspberry and do a logcat, it will show you a lot of skipped frames when the raspberry is busy. Video decoding is done by software.
[Raspberry Pi Development] bshiznit:
Thanks - so presumably - kernel thing?

Here is what comes with the Android Things RPi3 (iot) image once extracted:

Linux version 4.4.19-v7+ (android-build@wphs7.hot.corp.google.com) (gcc version 4.9 20150123 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 16 00:40:07 UTC 2017

I wonder if we could somehow repurpose that kernel - Android things ain't functional for our purpose in this thread but doesn't exhibit the flickering either!
[Raspberry Pi Development] tabp0le:
I'll look into this.
[Raspberry Pi Development] HiBoU974:
Hello, i'm trying to get it works but have no success...

Is this error normal too ?

* Applying correct permissions...
Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith has not requested permission android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
* Waiting for ADB...
All done. The device will reboot once again.
[Raspberry Pi Development] bshiznit:
Cool let me know if you need anything from the Android Things preview image - already unpacked it... Noticed it boots using u-boot and kernel is on separate partition. Also the whole partition scheme for the SD image is GPT...

Whilst using:

1. Most of the time quite smooth but when loading stuff its really laggy

2. Doesn't Automatically connect to wifi

3. Wifi disconnects regally

4. Can't access the developer options

5. Can't use the android tv app(does nothing when sending commands)

6. Can't cast just isn't visible as castable device(could be due to the wifi issues)

7. Really bad latency issues with Bluetooth keyboards

8. Can't playback video on YouTube(just a black screen and no audio)

9. Can't install apps just says pending installation(yes, apps do need to update but there also saying update pending)

10. Can't see all the wifi networks(Can't see my primary router network only my secondary router and it works on all other os's and devices)

Disclamer: I'm no expert so I just admire your amazing work. I'm also aware that some of the bugs already been reported but just put them on a list.
[Raspberry Pi Development] masterbi:
Main issues (as I found) making it unsuable for now:

1. HDMI-CEC doesn't seem to work. So Android TV does not benefit from using it by the TV's remote control :(

2. ChromeCast capability not working. Raspberry Pi is not recognized by other devices as such.

3. Play Store does not update or install any apps. Endlessly showing "Update/Installation pending"

4. Videos won't play back. Movies from Play Store Movies&TV don't play at all, movies from Youtube only play audio.
[Raspberry Pi Development] shivasiddharth:
This android build seems to be stable. http://konstakang.com/devices/rpi3/CM14.1/
[Raspberry Pi Development] ad_on_is:
Did you get leanback launcher to work with this?
[Raspberry Pi Development] allcity187:
I wouldn't say this build is stable, but it's a step in the right direction. I was able to install with Google play following the instructions of sid's E youtube instructions with modify gapps. As we all know theirs a issue with video which hopefully will be fix in the near future. Google play services force closes, and everytime I reboot I have to reconnect to wifi. Can't wait till this build is stable. Great job to konstakang!
[Raspberry Pi Development] shivasiddharth:
Got it working but, short cuts to apps are not appearing on the home screen. The issue is, playstore does not detect the pi as a TV device, so it does list/allow us to install ATV apps. The launcher does not allow shortcuts for non ATV apps.... :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Raspberry Pi Development] shivasiddharth:
Ok, stable may not be the word. There are other issues that i came across while making that video and forgot to mention them in that. It was kind odd, video crashed when played with MX player, but played smoothly with BS player., some codec issues may be. I hooked up my echo dot to the pi through bluetooth, but still audio played back through HDMI. If you connect both Ethernet and Wifi, it keeps disconnecting wifi. Guess, pi is still not upto the android challenge.
[Raspberry Pi Development] allcity187:
Yeah I guess for now it's not up for the challenge, but it was fun playing around with this build ?.
[Raspberry Pi Development] ad_on_is:
Ah, I see... So that's why GApps-TV-Stock isn't working also when installing on this build.

And there's no way to fake AOSP to something like "build=Android TV", so that google playstore think's it's Android TV and recognizes it as such? Sorry for dumb question, though I'm not a rom-developer, just trying to help ;)
[Raspberry Pi Development] alexssbx:
Play store does not install programs.

The play store in the current version does not install apps. It is always in the pendent state.

I was able to solve the problem by installing version 6.8.24.

However the system automatically updates the play store to the latest version!

That is, it is necessary to avoid the auto update of the play store, but for this I need root.

As it is a test version would not it be interesting to have a compilation with root ?

And the big question is why android only works on that version (6.8.24)?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JDM9499:
When I first got the phone yesterday, unlocking the phone was crazy fast with the facial recognition. This morning, I got the latest software update, and now, it's basically unusable. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bossg4:
The update was to improve the security. You may need to resetup. They made it more sensitive so it can't be unlocked with a pic as easily
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JDM9499:
After the update, it was a night and day difference. I tried registering my face again multiple times, and it worked maybe 3-10 times. It was terrible. I just reset my device though after I registering another facial input, and it's back to how it was - super fast. I'll continue to monitor if it reverts back to being unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] laz45:
It's horrible... I can't even open my phone half the time...Just came to XDA to see if I was the only one having this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kuulhus:
Same issue. The first day I got my phone I was actually bragging to everyone how amazing and fast the face unlock was. After the update it sucks, to the point where I just can't use it. I did register my face again multiple times as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JDM9499:
It's back to be crap now. After I reset the phone, it was working great again, but now not so much. I even get a pop-up sometimes saying to clean the lens!! It's spotless!

The iris scanner now is what the facial recognition WAS before the update. So, I'll start using that until this is figured out and solved because at least facial recognition works with glasses on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eniorodriig:
Try registering your face much closer , cover most of it but not 100%, leave a gap of 2 or 3 cm. Also have you tried turning on the "faster recognition" option?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] laz45:
Where's the faster recognition setting
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] senor360:
No problems with mine whatsoever. Crossing fingers it'll stay that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kuulhus:
Yup using the iris scanner as well now. Surprisingly faster than the first day which is weird, but still not as fast as face unlock :(. I wonder which takes more battery
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eniorodriig:
Settings -> Lock Screen and Security -> Face Recognition

You should be able to find the "Faster Recognition" option in there. I believe this came bundled with an update i received today, i cannot remember also having this option before. Take a look there and make sure the phone is up to date.

I believe there is improvement to be made here, hopefully once we start rooting this puppy , someone can come along and tweak a few settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ITNV:
AT&T user here. Got the OTA update yesterday that made the facial recognition terrible and I don't have the "Faster Recognition" option.

EDIT: I should also mention that I have redone the facial setup multiple times since the update and it's still noticeably worse than before the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Mine got slower, but I cleared cache and redid the facial set up, seems to be better again (after TMobile update).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pmkeitt:
I have noticed the same I can hardly use facial recognition after update was so fast before. Now using iris
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bogdi1988:
Iris is significantly better, safer and faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim84us:
how safe is the iris scanner - from a medical POV

when activating it - you get loads of disclaimers including one saying to always keep at least 8 inch between eyes and phone to prevent retina damage - i mean WTF!!!!!!

has anyone looked into this ****?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] woodydog:
Yeah I saw the warning that scared me. I'm a delivery driver and drive around 350mi a day Monday- Friday can't have my eyes damaged. Plus just payed 4500 for lasic
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bogdi1988:
I have had lasik also. I would not worry about it. All things have warnings like that... heck, even your basic computer screens have warnings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alexkaye:
Yeah since the Att update face recognition doesn't work at all for me, wellaybe 1 time out if 10. Annoying. I'm not bothered someone could use a photo of me to unlock. If my phone is ever out of my possession for that long, I'm disabling it remotely anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vinscuzzy:
Yep, got my s8 last night, was showing my GF how incredible facial recognition was, THEN I applied the update. Doesn't work at all, the fingerprint scanner is in the worst possible place, and I wear glasses so the iris scanner won't work for me. I can't believe I'm starting to miss the fingerprint scanner on the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eniorodriig:
I believe the major update coming this week should add the "faster recognition" option for everyone. I have no idea why only the AQDD build has this option but other builds don't. This option greatly improved my face recognition and hopefully Iris should get some improvements aswell with this update. So let's strap in and hope this update fixes these major issues that users are reporting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djcyph:
Are you guys sure you dont mean the recognize face when screen turned on option when​ you say faster recognition? That works instantly but I don't want it unlocked instantly, I like looking a notifications on lock screen.

s8+ Facial Recognition Not Working

Adding my voice to those having problems with facial recognition.

Out of the box it worked great. After the Tmobile update it isn't working at all.

Very frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bschucher:
Pretty much useless anymore. Shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MilgeS:
I found it wasn't working as well after the update so I just cleared the old faces out and setup face recognition again and it's absolutely fine for me now, have you all tried that to no avail?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bschucher:
Ya.. Tried that several times. No workie :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kppanic:
I wear glasses (and pretty thick ones at that) and iris scanner works 100% of the time. Funny enough, face recog from day 1 didn't really work for me (like worked 2 out of 5 times and even then I have to fiddle with angles and distance)

So I use iris or fingerprint and i can't go back to anything else anymore now.

Edit: Canadian Rogers variant. Haven't checked on the new update yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vinscuzzy:
Weird, I've always wondered if maybe some coating on my glasses is the problem. I had the MS 950xl before the S8, which also has retina scanning, and it didn't work when I wore my glasses.

Dear all awesome techies here,

I was wondering if I could get certain elements of a theme instead of the whole thing. I mean, without modding/rooting/being a techie myself.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to change my keyboard, phone log and phone buttons to black background/white text.

There are many themes that have that which I've used before, but I'm in love with the new icons that came with the Galaxy S8+ so I don't want to use the whole thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] fawadshah33:
Samsung theme store icon hack - Use icon only from any theme

Samsung theme added a new option in nougat for note 5 and other devices to change only icons. The problem is that icon library is quite limited. Although some themes have great icons but do let you apply icons alone (not so thoughtful of Samsung).

This method here let you use any samsung theme icon without applying that theme, Follow the complete guide here on XDA
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] evillawngnome:
I recently bought an X compact after my beloved Z3C's screen broke and I had no luck finding a decent replacement. So far, I'm extremely impressed with the phone. I immediately upgraded to the UK Custom rom to enable the fingerprint sensor. I'm not sure if it happened before or after the update, but my headphone port isn't working correctly. The phone isn't detecting headphones being inserted at all, but if I use the SoundAbout app it works perfectly. I've tried searching the Sony threads but their answer is "We cannot duplicate this problem," which is crap considering the thread is full of 33 pages of complaints. Has anyone else come across this problem? It's got me pretty bummed out considering it's a brand new phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FluxionFluff:
In case you weren't aware, Samsung is using two new camera sensors for the S8 and S8+ -- Sony's IMX333 & ISOCELL S5K3H1 (made by Samsung). Apparently both sensors should work relatively the same and take more or less the same quality of pics. Is the Sony one still the preferred sensor this time around? I know that's been the case in past models.

You can find out which sensors you got in your device by downloading AIDA64 from the Play Store.

From there, do as follows:

Open the app and tap on "Devices"

You'll then see what sensors you have for both the front and rear facing cameras. (see pic below)

I have the S8+ (in US, on AT&T) and when I used that app, here's what I got below. Also, apparently when you go into this page, it requests camera permissions, which for this case, I didn't need to do it. When you allow them, some of the info below the focus modes changes.

I knew there was another way to check which sensor you have, at least in the days of the S3, so you didn't have to download an app to find out this info... except I have no idea if it exists and if so, I have no idea how to do it (and I don't remember how to do it for the S3).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheAnarchist1:
I have the exact same stats as yourself. I have a pre-order Orchid Gray T-Mobile model 64GB. I did notice something curious about these stats, though. Notice in the app that it says we do not have support for video stabilization and yet we do actually have an option for such within the camera app settings. I wonder what that is all about?
