Hi There,
I've looked for an answer to this and didn't see one. Sorry if I missed it. I would like to install rooted android on my pine 64, but the only info I've seen about doing this shows how to do it from a windows machine. I'm currently using ubuntu 16.04. Is there a way to install rooted android onto the pine64 without using windows?
thanks,
Ed

Hi.
Yes, by selecting the appropriate rooted image and using the dd command, or if you prefer a graphical user interface, you could download
Etcher.
Thanks Ghost. Etcher is really cool and easy to use. Now I've got another problem. I have a 64gb micro sd card, but formatted it only has ~59 gb of space. So etcher tells me my rooted 64gb android image won't fit. Should I try a smaller image?
thanks again for the help!

Yes, the latest Android images are slightly mis-sized. For argument's sake, try a smaller image just to get things working.
More suitable OS images are forthcoming.
Thanks Ghost. I''m back in business. I appreciate the help and patience
