how to make 7 inch lcd work

[UnixOutlaw]

i got one 7 inch lcd with touchscreen at https://www.pine64.pro/pine-a64-accessories/
and  flashed android 5.1 follow the wiki, but the display not work.
somebody can help me?

You can locate the LCD panel build for Android on wiki page. here is the download link: http://files.pine64.org/os/android/andro...ixCard.zip

Good to know. Is there a dd-like image as well (cat <image> | pv | dd of=<dev> bs=1M)?

We plan to have a new release on next week and will release DD image together.

Hi

I have managed to get the android LCD version to work ok, but I was wondering if any of the others work with the LCD? Remix, Ubuntu etc?

Thanks

I'd also like an answer to this question too!  I don't really want to run Android - LINUX (or BSD even! :-) ) all the way for this little black duck...  Surely with 2GB RAM (I got two 2 GB boards) it would be enough to run Ubuntu Touch or at least Unity ?

How "Linuxy" are the Android builds?  e.g. can you get busybox and a shell?

Android practically build on top on Linux.

Tell me something else that you know...    that's less obvious...  Android runs a HIDEOUS JAVA VM on top of the Linux kernel - but you have to root them and a bunch of other stuff to get userland GNU tools and/or busybox and NIX shell...  to tell the truth - I prefer jailbroken iOS to rooted Android...  

Saying that Android = Linux is like saying that ALL Fords run on Linux...  they might have the Linux kernel running in their EMS - but that doesn't mean they don't need petrol!
Also - at Post #4 from last week - it's now "next week" - how long till Android 5.1.1 sideways/portrait "dd" image?

Changed the avatar (sheesh - everyone so uptight about a finger - I've got 9 other ones)...  looking forward to an update on issues with Android and the Pine supplied LCD (I want root in my Android - but as stated previously - I'd MUCH rather have LCD touchpanel support in a Linux build).

I've added my 2 cents to the bug reports on Bluetooth not working with Lollipop (2GB board with Pine WiFi/BLE hat).
