Is this it?
#9
I own the board for around 6 months. I wanted to create an android based touchscreen device with the dac board on top of the rock64. The TV GUI on the Android is absolutely not usable with a touchscreen, you need to tap on each icon twice to open an app or setting, no status bar or navigation bar to go back, home or open the recent apps. There are walkarounds but they are not system solutions. It is like patching a leaking spaceship with some sticky tape.
I've made many requests on the forum and I find that the main reason many users have negative opinion on the board and Pine64 in general is the lack of feedback from the developers. People tend to think that their requests are ignored and their voice is not heard. At least if they could constantly post updates and share some development plans with the users it would dramatically improve the image of the board as a reliable product.

I also own an Odroid XU4. Besides a couple of community build Android images there are very few official roms for the board and they are rarely updated. However the active participance of the developers in the community discussions keeps the users confident that their problems will be solved sooner or later.
That's how a lack of feedback can create a negative opinions event for a product with good specs on paper....
