Received the pine a few days ago, finally had a chance to play today and so far I am not impressed.
I purchased a brand new Micro SD to use with this thing. Followed the instructions to install Android. Used the PhoenixCard application applied the image as a startup. process was successful exited the app and ejected the card. Inserted the card into the Pine and plugged it in. Got a nice android logo then a Pine A64 logo on a white screen. Left it on the screen for 90 minutes giving it the benefit of the doubt. Nothing happened!
Tried the Remix OS image (yes I know there is an issue with the 2GB model and Remix) but at this point I am just trying to get something other than a white screen and a Pine A64 logo. Nope got that screen.
So I tried formatting with Arch Linux image. Wouldn't work using the PhoenixCard application as says there is a script missing from the file great! I install it with the Win32Diskimager and hazah I have something that might actually work. Well you would think so wouldn't you. It appears that the little wifi/Bluetooth dongle I paid extra for that actually doesn't quite fit properly doesn't work with Arch. Deep joy!
OK so I now try again I wipe the SD card and run the PhoenixCard App and add Android to it again. A complete repeat of the first try. I remove again wipe rinse and repeat now PhoenixCard App just errors. I have rebooted the app, my computer.
What a complete waste of time this thing is. Well worth the cost and the wait!
