seriously this device could blow up. does anyone have a reliably stable, functional, non-hanging experience with it?
Nope, I'm not deleting this... everyone has a right to their opinion... you're not forcing me to agree with your or anything! And I'm sure you're feeling much better now that you've gotten all that out!
However, to answer your question, I can say that after the first few hurdles (mainly due to non-existent documentation, a situation that has been slowly improving), I haven't had any major stability issues. I've tried the different linux and android builds (bar the latest Android 7.0 series), and the biggest issue I've had is the broken dependency tree in the debian mate builds. The android 5.1.1 build seemed stable, but I wasn't interested in using the pine64 as a android box, so don't use it often.
Try ayufans Android 7.0 build if you haven't already - among other things, it has a smaller initial image size, and IIRC auto-expands to fill your card, so the bloated image size problem won't affect you there.
