Android 6.0 Tablet and TV (release candidate, maintained)

[ayufan]

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

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:

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.

Not answering your question as its not directed at me, but from what I've heard from ayufan droid 6.0 runs really nicely on the pine.

i am useing TV build app i use are work Crunchyroll TV (not working on 7.0 & 7.1)

Android remote system is not working

[ayufan]

Android Remote TV is not working as apk is not installed on this version yet.

For me it seems that 6.0 has the best possibility of becoming stable release as uses AV codecs compatible with 6.0.

first off, great work, haven't really come across any issues.

except.... when I search for netflix in the play store I am not able to find it. I live in the US if that matters.

will downloading the apk be the only way to get it on?

[ayufan]

mhump711: yes, you have to sideload Netflix

Works really nice. Only I have recognized that H.265 streams are not working with Kodi (I have only tested TV version). It was working with Android 7 release.  Seems that Kodi can not identify GPU.

[ayufan]

wappi: maybe that it uses NuPlayer by default, not AwPlayer.
