i received my Pine64 board. Works well, but i am no really friend of Linux after all.
I know it will be laggy like hell, but shouldnt it be possible to run Android on a 512mb Pine ?
I mean my Smartphone has only 512 MB Run and runs it too.
I installed the rom on a Sandisk Class 10 32 gig card and all i got is a pixel square at the start (same card runs fine with debian).

On the pine wiki and product page is stated that they recommen a 1gig RAM for Android, but not that it is impossible to run it on 512 MB machines.
Anywone got it runing on the "small" Pine ? Maybe i just did some wrong stuff.
Or is ist impossible. I used the image writer and the image to write it to my card, you can not do much wrong with that, right ? Card should be fast enough, cause it runs the Linux fine.


Thanks for your help guys.

Even if it will run (dont know if anyone tried) it wont make for a good experience. The 512 model is intended for embedded applications/ projects/ robotics/ smart-home applications, etc. But give it a go and report back Smile
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
