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.

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?
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?

rooted Android build already posted.
But not the LCD touchpanel support version? Still 19th April for the Touchpanel Android :
