I was pleasantly surprised to receive my pinebook a few days ago in upgraded 1080p version. However the official Android for 768p Pinebook does not boot (yes, I waited over 5 minutes, just black screen).
Therefore, does anyone know when any Android for 1080p Pinebook will be released? When will the official one appear?
It's a wonderful low-cost linux laptop, but for consuming multimedia content (streaming services) Android would be much better.

The Android 8 build will be available on few weeks time.
So is there any update on the release of Android 8 on the PineBook 1080p?

I managed to run Netflix app with provided Android 6 in my Pinebook 1080p. Thanks for good work!
Can't wait for Android 8 to be ready. Keep up good work Pine64 team!
I hope this isn't thread hijacking, as my question is relevant to the OP. The poster looking to port Lineage OS got me thinking about this.
I seems to be the trend that with a 1080P Pinebook, anyone interested in running an Android build is stuck with the image of stock Marshmallow. None of the previous builds, such as
's 7.1 or Bliss OS, will boot properly. Or at least boot to a black screen. I've seen the issues mentioned several times, and a few have alluded to there being a known reason, but no one expands on the subject. I tried going through the commit notes of ayufan's 7.1 build after finding
this mentioned in an issue, but I quickly lost my place and couldn't find what they referenced.
I'm genuinely curious what changes, apart from the IPS panel, were made between the 2 versions of the Pinebook that prevent these Android builds from booting correctly on the 1080P PBs. While I'm unlikely to resolve the issue, I feel like the information could be important to anyone that is interested (like the port of Lineage OS.)
