  Linux laptop
Posted by: rusty377 - 11-27-2016, 07:23 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

I heard that there will be a linux 14 inch laptop with 10AH battery-but I dont see anything on this site about it. Can someone enlighten me to what is the story. Price point was $89 to $99 per unit.


More info:
PineBook is a low-cost Linux machine that looks like MacBook Air. PineBook supports a number of Linux distros and Android versions. Macbook Air looks great! However, you can now enjoy MacBook air at just $89 because Pine64 launched a single-board computer which is named as PineBook. If you are looking for an Affordable Linux laptop then you will find Pinebook Linux laptop helpful. PineBook uses the same ARM-based CPU that is found on the single board computer Pine 64. The laptop is lightweight and comes with a full-size keyboard and large multi-touch touchpad for students and makers. Meet Pinebook, A $89 Linux Laptop That Looks Like MacBook The laptop is available in 2 variants 11 inch LCD and 14 inch LCD the 11inch will cost you US $89 and 14-inch model will cost you US $99. The laptop had a mini HDMI port so that users can connect larger external HDMI display or TV for presentations. This laptop even had a built-in MicroSD card slot that will allow users to expand their data storage,etc....


  Best Video Player for Android
Posted by: wappi - 11-27-2016, 12:49 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

I am not 100% sure if question was already raised.  What video player do you use with Android?  Kodi is working well and the video player from 5.1.1 releases is also okay. Any other player?

With MX player I do not have sound...


  Android 6.0 Tablet and TV (release candidate, maintained)
Posted by: ayufan - 11-26-2016, 03:15 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (228)

Based on my work for Android 7.0 (http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2136) I did downgrade to 6.0.

Download: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-6.0/releases

It takes about 10 minutes for first boot to finish.

Report all issues here: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-6.0/issues

What does work?

It seems to work nicely and be more responsive then 7.0 build.

Widevine DRM L3 does work, so you should be able to use Netflix.

It also allows you to update SuperSU binary, so rooting is OK too.

What does not?

- So far it seems to be OK.

This is alpha build, so do not complain Smile

If something doesn't work:
- try to see logs (adb logcat, adb shell dmesg),
- try to compile and fix it by yourself,
- when you find solution create a Pull Request for one of this repositories: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/

How to compile?

https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/local_m...arshmallow

You can also see my Jenkins compilation script:
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android...enkinsfile

Download:

https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-6.0/releases

Install:

The builds are designed to be used with Pine A64 1GB or 2GB on at least 4GB sdcard.

Use Etcher to write images: https://www.etcher.io/

The build automatically resize data partition on first boot to use sdcard space.

LCD:

To enable LCD, edit uEnv.txt from BOOT partition and uncomment:

Code:
pine64_lcd=on

HDMI resolution:

Edit uEnv.txt and select one. You can find all supported in uEnv.txt:

Code:
disp_mode=1080p60

Ethernet speed:

Edit uEnv.txt and select desired speed, by default it uses auto-negotiation.
For example to limit to 100Mbps:

Code:
eth0_speed=100

Google Apps:

Android Regular and TV already has Google Apps installed.


  About the SoPine A64 and the Pinebook
Posted by: Terra854 - 11-25-2016, 10:59 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (29)

Just noticed that there are two new products stated in the Pine64 website, the SoPine A64 and the Pinebook.

Is there any information on when will these products be available for purchase?

For anyone fiddling with the LCD display, this is where the technical documentation will be sticked / bookmarked as it collected for reference. Please feel free to point out any good sources of information and I'll add them to this main post when I get time.

  VESA 100 Arm mounts
Posted by: rickseiden - 11-24-2016, 03:36 PM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (11)

I designed a very simple system of mounting a Pine64 to the back of my monitor with four little arms.  You attach one arm to each corner of the Pine64, then each arm goes to a VESA 100 hole.  It takes less than 10 minutes to print, and less that 5 minutes or so to mount.

  Android 7.1 Tablet and TV (alpha, proposal)
Posted by: ayufan - 11-23-2016, 04:58 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (50)

Based on my work for Android 7.0 (http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2136) I did bump the version to 7.1.

Here's the video: https://goo.gl/photos/1XKM9eGS3vDPFef17

Download: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-7.1/releases

Report all issues here: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-7.1/issues

N.B. Do not update SudoSu - it breaks the installation

What does work?

I see that some things do work, but I didn't really test that.
I did only apply changes of 7.1, compile and do two test runs.

I believe that this build is very similar to 7.0 and has the same limitations.

What does not?

- Definitely not Widevine DRM. So no Netflix.

This is alpha build, so do not complain Smile

If something doesn't work:
- try to see logs (adb logcat, adb shell dmesg),
- try to compile and fix it by yourself,
- when you find solution create a Pull Request for one of this repositories: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/

How to compile?

https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/local_m...nougat-7.1

  Vysor on Pine64
Posted by: Charles - 11-21-2016, 10:10 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi All,

Does anyone try Vysor(Chrome's extension) on Pine64? Vysor can operate Android UI functions on the laptop remotely, but it requests adb connection via USB port. If you don't have LCD or TV on hand, this utility should be grate for developing.
