Android 8.1 Released

[Firesped]

sideloading is still not working. I think this has to due with a partition missing. it is expecting a external_sd mount. But there is no mount.

it seems it is failing because the sd card is being called for as the external mount. so i need to prep the SD card to be used by the system?

update:
inserted my 64gb sd card and formated it for android as a media card. rebooted into android recovery. I'm about to see the mnt/external_sd when I goto update from sd card.
I was not able to push files to it. I'm going to try to download files in android and put them on the sd card then reboot into recovery mode

update:
got the files on the sd card, able to use the Apply update from SD card. However it is still failing signature verification. I think that what is needed is to have the SDK for the rk3399 8.1 android, then to download and build the opengapps for it specifically. I'm not sure if that is the direction we need to go?
