Updating questions - S265 - 03-18-2018
Hi all. According to Android my current system is
Pine64
Android 7.1.2
Kernel 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-20170513
My question is should I think about upgrading? Is Android still being worked on?
My system does most things I need - Kodi 17.6 works, networking is ok, YouTube works. Occasionally I get some jerking movement on the edges of the screen if for example I watch some video of a freight train flying past. My display looks ok. It appears to be 1080p but some Youtube videos run at a lower resolution. I have studied the forums, looked at the Pine64 wiki, and followed many links. In the end I am not sure about upgrading. Any ideas? I could go to armbian and perhaps load kodi from there. It has active development at least.

I believe there will be an A8 release for the A64.

Thanks - something to look forward to. Do you know if my version is good, bad or other ? Has much happened since this release? Just trying to understand where Android for Pine64 is going.

I think you should try (perhaps on a different card) Android A6 from ayufan. In my experience it has been much faster and better performing than A7.1.
Here is the stable image: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-6.0/releases/download/1.2.3/android-6.0-pine-a64-v1.2.3-r33.img.gz
