Is there a way to pull up the terminal in Remix so I can check what is going on with my USB Wifi device. I cannot get any android image to recognize it.

Hi folks,

i received my Pine64 board. Works well, but i am no really friend of Linux after all.
I know it will be laggy like hell, but shouldnt it be possible to run Android on a 512mb Pine ?
I mean my Smartphone has only 512 MB Run and runs it too.
I installed the rom on a Sandisk Class 10 32 gig card and all i got is a pixel square at the start (same card runs fine with debian).

On the pine wiki and product page is stated that they recommen a 1gig RAM for Android, but not that it is impossible to run it on 512 MB machines.
Anywone got it runing on the "small" Pine ? Maybe i just did some wrong stuff.
Or is ist impossible. I used the image writer and the image to write it to my card, you can not do much wrong with that, right ? Card should be fast enough, cause it runs the Linux fine.


Thanks for your help guys.

Заказывал ли кто нибудь PINE64, получали!?

I am running Ubuntu on the PINE. How can I set up a static IP?

So I have a 64gb card, brand new. It passed the "counterfeit" test apps, I run the Phoenix program to install the appropriate Remix image, it COMPLETES the burn, only when I exit the program, the card shows it's still empty. Popping the card into the Pine64 board doesn't bring up the splash screen or anything (because card is "blank").

I haven't gotten around to getting another card or smaller capacity image to try. Any suggestions at this point? I fully admit to being a complete newb. Thanks in advance.

I finally managed to burn the Android Image after 2 days of trying.

Now when I turn on I get a squared white pattern which covers over with white, the screen then goes black and it does the same again, then the screen just stays white!

I am using the HDMI to VGA adaptor, is there a problem with my monitor not being able to handle the resolution.

I have used Serviio as a media server at home for my movies and music for many years now, and prefer it to PLEX. 
Has anyone thought of or tried using the following ideas:

Android: Using the Serviio Media Browser App along side MPlayer to stream media from an Internal or External Network

Ubuntu: Using the web server capability of Serviio to stream content through the Web Browser or other uPnP application?

When I receive my Pine64+ 2GB I will be trying this. I have seen some threads about the GPU not being utilised properly yet to run this sort of thing smoothly? Am I correct in thinking this?

Thanks

I can open the Google Play store but if I click anything, it shuts down back to the Android desktop.  No error message at all.  Any fix for this or just wait for next Android release?

I'd like to run the Pine64 as a headless Linux server - no GUI and no additional software.  Really just a barebones system and then slowly add the packages I need.

What distros can I load for a headless server?
