Not a single smooth image - yogi - 06-20-2016
I waited 6 months to get this piece of hardware. Out of the box, I can't find any image working properly (not lagging)
In the demos, Pine has shown android to work smoothly in brilliant 4k when in reality it suffers in processing 1080p. Is there a single Android image which work smoothly ?

What kind of MicroSD card are you using? I'd use a class 10.

Keep in mind that though you can reach the sequential read/write limit with a lot of say class 10 cards, but there is sadly no specification for random read/write performance which influences the experience on single board computers / application type setups. Check the stickied thread on how to measure, some very expensive cards have good linear read/write performance but fail horribly at random I/O because what they are usually optimized for is writing linear image and video streams in cameras... from my experience it makes a lot of difference with Android as well. http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=191&page=8 , http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/954-sd-card-performance/

Which SD card would you recommend ?
I would like to run Kodi off my pine64. AFAIK, this random I/O speed doesn't affect Raspberry Pi's ?
