open_gapps md5 doesn't match

Quick note:

From the download repository, open_gapps-arm-7.1-tvstock-20170420-rpi3.tar.gz.md5 says the MD5 should be 38517ce6281c5fdfe3edc07b30a7ba96

But the MD5 of the open_gapps-arm-7.1-tvstock-20170420-rpi3.tar.gz file in the repo is actually 471eea719cc8adad814d4095b82b4119

Can you help me

I connected my raspberry pi 3B to a Sony Bravia 50W800A's port (HDMI/MHL), but I got an unsupported signal error. My television can display many raspberry pi Linux OS even ChromiumOS for SBC. How to solve this problem?:crying:
[Raspberry Pi Development] shivasiddharth:
That has been the case with all the android build on pi. First try changing the framewidth and length in the config.txt. set it to something like 1920 and 1080. Try changing picture modes in TV, as in like movie mode or game mode something. Or else the last thing I would suggest is to use a HDMI to RCA converter to connect to TV.

This issue has been already discussed in the previous posts. Try deleting the googlepackageinstaller.
[Raspberry Pi Development] d3sx:
That's what I did :

Disable play store in settings/applications

Download the right apk here

Type this command :

adb install -r -d </path/to/store.apk

It forces to downgrade the app

And it's works for me, I can use the PlayStore and install apps

Hey dude hows this coming along now?
[Raspberry Pi Development] alexdutch:
Hi tabp0le,

I installed your android image last weekend and it works nice.

Fixed the flicker by telling android to use gpu before installing gapps since only then the developers menu can be used.

Got google play working to by installing the older version mentioned earlyer.

Kodi works great to, there is only some flicker when playing a video.

Youtube and es file explorer work just great.

The only thing i coulndt get to work was netflix but the rest works great.

I also tested it on my 7" lcd toutchscreen i got, and works on it to only the right and bottom side are out of screen (gues resolution isue)

The toutch function works to but not as suposed becouse the resolution problem.

Also like the fact that usb storage works, tested it with es file explorer and it detects storage as otg storage.
[Raspberry Pi Development] satyamtg:
Do some basic games work?

And what about opengl?

Also, does YouTube work with perfect video?

And one last thing,

Does the official power adapter and Bluetooth work fine?
[Raspberry Pi Development] alexdutch:
hi Satyam,

to awnser your questions:

1) tested if i could play candy crush but afterinstalling it android crashes and flicker returned after reboot.

2)not tested.(im not an advanced user)

3)youtube does work but seems to have problems wih hq videos(sound no video), normal quality video and sound both work.

4.1) i use stepdown converters becouse my rpi`s run on solar power.

4.2) bluetooth seems not to work, tested if i could connect to a bluetooth speaker but android couldnt find it.

Hi

Thanks to all of you for this project.

Small question to complete my installation: i have the loop problem after the installation of the gapps.

I read that i have to erase the file inside the folder system/priv-app/GooglePackageInstaller .

But i know how to do it. When i try in linux, i don't have the permission and on the raspberry i don't have time to do it (and don't know how to do it) it reboot very quickly.

Thanks for you help

I have managed to start Android TV in raspi but I realized that it does not reproduce sound (neither of the system nor of Spotify nor of any app).

How can I make it reproduce sound for HDMI?
[Raspberry Pi Development] edit4ever:

I did have to roll back to the 6.8 play store to get installs to work.

It's not possible, Windows doesn't support ext4 partition so you can't install this with Windows ^^

ext2fsd can handle ext4 filesystems on Windows, but I never managed to write the data correctly with dd.

Hello! I'm just evaluating the option to install it, and I've seen there are at least 2 other options to have Android in the Raspberry Pi 3:

RaspAnd

RTAndroid

In which aspects is this better than Raspand/RTAndroid?

Big thanks!

Tab-Pi is Android TV while RaspAnd and RTAndroid is based off the mobile Android, but this is very unstable.

I used the SDcard image from shivasiddharth and successfully pushed the apks over ADB. With the GooglePackageInstaller APK, the RPI sticks in a boot loop; without the APK it boots fine.

Once I boot, I don't see the Play Store or the other stock apps on-screen, but I do see them in Settings > Apps.

Should RPI be booting to Android TV mode or "regular" Android mode with apps on-screen?

[Raspberry Pi Development] kidSwift:
push: gapps/sys/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk -> /system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
failed to copy 'gapps/sys/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk' to '/system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk': secure_mkdirs failed: Read-only file system

Without fail, every time I attempt to get this done, I run into this weird issue where in the middle of the apps push it fails because apparently /system becomes a read-only filesystem then. The script immediately assumes it's done transferring files and starts the next process of reboot and permission changes. Even when isolating the apps push code by itself, after a single attempt I am never able to remount as rw again.

Is anyone else running into this? I honestly feel if I could get all the apps pushed down, then this will work just fine. For reference, I am not doing this wirelessly - when I tried the first time I could never even connect to the RPi.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you create your own paritions or used the ready to use image that i had given ?
[Raspberry Pi Development] kidSwift:
I created my own partitions - basically just followed the instructions in the OP. I could try your image later today - does it just have the gapps pushed down already?

I installed Tab-Pi, MANUALLY moved Gapps to system, manually install Play Services and Store, and it booted to setup.

List of bugs.

1. Setup using phone doesn't work.

2. Mobile remote disconnects on button press.

3. Youtube drops almost every frame.

4. Kodi lags.

5. Play Store needs to be downgraded to install.

6. Play Music doesn't show added music. (Maybe Play Music bug?)

7. Developer Settings crashes Settings.

8. Cast doesn't show on phone.

9. Bluetooth does not connect.

Those are some bugs.

Still happy with it. ;)

Ok, I thought I would be able to create a KODI box for my father in law for christmas. I got a Pi 3 and put on OSMC and KODI, but it buffers so badly you can't watch anything. Option 2 is Android TV. I followed the instructions up until boot the Pi. I assume that the SD card should be inserted first. When I boot the Pi with the newly created SD card my tv registers that there is a signal, but doesn't display anything. My Pi doesn't show up as a new device on my router either which tells me that the process didn't work.
[Raspberry Pi Development] gpmg762:
Try LibreELEC, it works well for me. For Android TV, you need correct settings in config.txt for your tv.

This is the config.txt for my panasonic tv,

hdmi_group=1

hdmi_mode=4

[Raspberry Pi Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Had a quick run at this one earlier.. Looks promising, but it doesn't seem stable enough for regular use as it is now. Thanks for the effort so far!

First a quick question about the "gapps.sh" script in the "open_gapps" tar file; from the indentation, it looks like the "prepare_devices()" closing brace is in the wrong place (line 65 instead of 77). [MENTION=5471195]tabp0le[/MENTION], , could you have a look at that in your source files?

I'm still tinkering though, so no real feedback yet. That will probably be pretty soon though... (:
