Please advise on download link, and I will double check on the build quality.

I've just tested a couple images and run into the same issue. I used the 16gb and 32gb images from the Pinebook Pro Software page on the Wiki. No particular errors are given, but the PBP won't boot these images.

I had no problem getting Android to work. However, I could not get the camera working with Android (or Debian, haven't tried Manjaro at all). I did get it working in Armbian.

Camera works on stock Android 7 but fail on Android 9. The camera driver fail in stock Android 9 currently in fixing process. Once fixed, will update the stock Android 9 release.

We can't, Pine has not released it yet.

Just read through this thread. Has there been any progress made, writing Android to and booting PBPro from microSD card? Thanks!

There's only the one specific img I'm aware of that boots, still. Ideally, someone knowledgeable in the community could build us a better option. I don't think anyone with the know-how has the interest, though. It would be nice to have an AOSP build for the PBP that uses mainline kernel, like GloDroid for the phone.

Would you have a link to the "specific img" perchance? Thanks.
