Hello,
I tried to install Minitube but without luck.
Suggested procedure is:
add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
apt-get update
apt-get install minitube

Installation went perfect but I faced problem with connection to youtube.

There is error connection to data.youtube.com and there should be some work for this interesting program to run.

Does somebody has installed this program and with success run youtube videos ?

Here is link to author's page : Minitube

I really would like to run with success this program but looks like there is some job to be done. Creating API or similar (wich i did following some Ubuntu manual) is done but still I did not managed to connect properly.

Somebody to help ?

Hi everyone,
i have the idea to build an arcade cabinet 
i would like to have some suggestion from all of you guys,
-which emulator is better to use for Pine? (simple and reliable)
-someone already did something like that?? any suggestion? website thai i have to visit?

I will do a guide step by step for everyone want to start something like this

Day 1
 
I am trying to get my new PINE64 board to boot up.
 
I downloaded the following image:
android-rooted-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-32GB
 
I used Win32 Disk Imager to put the IMG file onto a 32 GB microSD card.
 
I connected the Bluetooth/WiFi module to the PINE64 board. I then inserted the microSD card, connected an HDMI cable, connected a wireless mouse/keyboard dongle, and then connected a 5.0V (550 mA) power supply (an old BlackBerry charger). The red light on the board came on. An AllWinner screen appeared and then a PINE64 (white background) screen appeared. The device then powered off. I thought the USB keyboard/mouse dongle might be the problem so I disconnected it and tried again. Same sequence of events. I tried with the Bluetooth/WiFi module disconnected. No change.
 
I downloaded the following image:
android-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-32GB
 
Again, I used Win32 Disk Imager to put the IMG file onto the same 32 GB microSD card.
 
I re-connected the Bluetooth/WiFi module. The HDMI cable was still connected. I put the microSD card back into the board, connected the mouse/keyboard dongle, and then connected the same power supply. The red light on the board turned on, but nothing appeared on the screen. The screen stayed in standby mode. I disconnected the power cable I disconnected the USB keyboard/mouse dongle. Tried powering the board on again. Same issue. I disconnected the Bluetooth/WiFi module and re-connected the power supply. Again, no change.
 
In reading through the forums it appears as though Android and Remix images MUST be burned with the AllWinner Phoenix utility? I downloaded the android-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-phoenixCard image and burned it to the microSD card using the Phoenix utility. There was no change in results.
 
I purchased two boards, so I decided to try the second board. The display attached to the HDMI cable did activate (but nothing appeared on the screen) the first couple of tries. After subsequent tries the display would not come out of standby. I didn't attach the Bluetooth/WiFi add-on board to the second board.
 
I tried three USB cables. None would change the results.
 
I tried the Debian Mate image, no luck.
 
I have since tried "burning" the IMG files to the microSD card with Win32 Disk Imager,  the AllWinner Phoenix utility and even Linux Live USB Creator. No changes.
 
I have tried burning the IMG files via Win32 Disk Imager and Linux Live USB Creator with and without having extracted the IMG file prior.
 
Not sure if it matters but when I have extracted the IMG file I have used PeaZip.
 
Day 2
 
Before I went to bed last night I decided to write android-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-phoenixCard to the microSD card using Win32 Disk Image. I didn't extract the file. I just let the utility do it. Since it takes forever to write images to the card I went to bed. I got up this morning and was able to successfully boot the board with the image. I clicked on the Google Play store at which point I realized I didn't have the Bluetooth/WiFi module attached. I turned the board off.
 
Since I had gotten my second board to boot I decided to try the first board again. I already had it in the acrylic enclosure and the Bluetooth/WiFi module was already attached. Nothing. The display attached to the HDMI cable wouldn't even turn on.
 
I went back to the second board. I connected the WiFi/Bluetooth module (the same one I was using on the first board). Was able to get it to successfully startup again. I went into the settings to try to enable WiFi. It went to a white screen. After 5 minutes I decided that it had crashed.
 
I unplugged the power cable and reconnected it. The AllWinner screen appeared, then the PINE64 screen. Then the board turned off.
 
I have since been unable to get the board to produce any signs of booting on the display. The display no longer comes out of standby.
 
I have tried booting it without the Bluetooth/WiFi module. No change in results.
 
I though perhaps the image on the card became corrupted during the time I was able to get Android to startup. I re-imaged the card, but there has been no change.

This weekend I started to play with my pine. I am using Android atm and I tried to install 3 apps. Unfortunately only 1 was successful. 

Until now I didn't get any error message or authentication issues. But I can't download the apps, because the play store tells me the device is not compatible. Is there a fix or workaround?

Te apps are:
- telfort it online (IPTV app from TV provider)
- Cbox HD

PLEASE respond to my emails.  I have three orders, ALL PAID FOR and havent heard back.  Ive sent countless emails since MAY and never get a response.

I ordered 6 of the 2GB boards in MAY off of the PINE website NOT Kickstarter.

I still want them but honestly I'll take a refund just to end this nightmare.  At least with a refund I can go buy a few more ODROID C2 boards which are far superior.  I know they are because I ordered one two weeks ago and it arrived the next day.


I just want some communication.  I understand theyre flooded with emails but seriously how would you feel if you had $400+ being held ransom by a COMPANY, not a kickstarter, they are a COMPANY now, and so far not a very reputable one.


AND you can damn well bet I'm going to be sending them 100+ emails a day from MANY different email accounts until they either respond to me or I crash their servers. Because I have been EXTREMELY nice up until now but after the 20th email in two months gets ignored I've had enough of their excuses and bullshit

EDIT
Heres some links to other boards for people who are sick of waiting for Pine to get their act together. Ameridroid responds to emails instantly, ships instantly and you get your order in a few days

I have both the C2 and XU4 and trust me they are amazing

The stretch goal power button didn't come in my shipment where do I go to get this corrected?

Has anyone figured out how to connect this thing to their pine? There were no instructions given. I assumed it was bluetooth connected but the BT doesn't pick it up. Is there something I've missed?

If there's already a thread on this specific issue, my apologies. I've read through the play store authentication issues thread, and tried my luck with the forum's Search feature but haven't seen this problem solved.

The OS is the 5 May version of Android 5.1.1 on a Sandisk 32 Gig SD (the same as recommended throughout the forum); hardware is a Pine64+ 1Gig with Bluetooth and wifi board. The clock is correct.

There are several things to complain about with this build but for me the most problematic is that Google Play Store stops working soon after it's brought up. Once in a great while right after boot I can download an app but usually Play Store stops running--no reason given--while I'm looking at offerings or after I've chosen an app but before it can download. This isn't apparently an authentication problem, as I get no message about that. Rebooting doesn't solve it except to allow Play Store to fool me again.

I've tried the solutions suggested under the authentication issues thread on the theory that it can't hurt. I also re-downloaded the image and reburned it. No joy. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
EDIT: After a better search I found other posts about this problem but no solutions.

Hi together!

I'm searching for a way to use the automatic orientation on Android.
So, which accelerometers will work with the Pine64?

I found a very cheap module, original for Arduino. It works via GPIO.
- ADXL345 3-Axes Digital Acceleration of Gravity Tilt Module for Arduino GY-291 EV
For just 1.08 Euro!

Best regards
Julian

My backer number is 27,048, name is charles overly. I have received nothing, would it be possible to get a status of my order? It is now july and nothing.
