I am planning on using the DS3231 real time clock chip with the Rock64. Will it be supported when the Rock64 ships?

Can I choose to ship to collection point in Hong Kong as the shipping in Hong Kong is carried by SF Express so I will be notified to collect the product when the product arrives?

Hi community
What will be changes in OS functionalities and overall ( hardware+ OS) performance in Rock64 compared to pine64.
Will there be changes in android animation, browser and youtube video performance.
Asking this because I want to use it as a PC replacement.

Looking to use a Rock64 as an automotive android based car PC? didnt see any bluetooth dongles in the store and it would be nice if anyone had any experience with adding a GPS receiver. 

Thanks in advance.

Minecraft pocket edition and OpenVPN for Android applications doesn't work on Android. Minecraft doesn't start at all and OpenVPN establish a connection but with no Internet and start to reconnect after some time.

By popular demand I modified a Ubuntu Mate installer as per my instructions here to install latest pre-release Android 7.1 image to your Pinebook's eMMC (NB: disregard the message that its installing Ubuntu in the installer - it will install Android). 
This is not an official image so I am just tossing it up on google drive for those who want to try it. Also, I have not tested if it works - so it may not. Do let me know if it doesn't. I have done this in the past and worked just fine so I expect there won't be any issues.

Here is the google drive link 

edit 2: Removed the image because apparently the image did not work. 

Follow this simple procedure:

1) Flash the ubuntu install image to SD
2) mount rootfs of the installer 
3) delete the pinebook.img (please check, I cant remember if thats what its called)
4) rename A7.1 image to 'pinbook.img' 
5) copy the renamed A7.1 image to the installers rootfs
6) put the SD into your Pinebook

edit: Do not update SudoSu - it breaks the installation

Does the ROCK64 use any closed source boot loaders, firmware, drivers or other non-open blobs?

If so, how many and for which components?  Thanks!

Hello,

I've noticed that when I attempt to plugin headphones to my pinebook and play a video that sound still comes out the internal speakers and the headphones.  Is this how it's supposed to work?  Any ideas how to troubleshoot or fix this?

I'm running the default ubuntu mate on it and I poked around in the sound settings and didn't find anything there that looked like the answer to this problem.

So, its been a good while. The question is, has anything been done with any of the OS that has increased HDMI compatibility, or is it still shi%t? The main reason I bought the Pine64 was to use it as a playback device with Plex since it touted its 4k compatibility, and since even a Pi can work with nearly all HDMI devices I expected this to work, but every time I have tried only one Tv/Monitor in my house out of 5 works.
