Like many before me, I did not buy the USB wifi adapter in the PineStore because I thought that I should be able to use any RTL8812AU chip that I could find. Obviously I'm out of luck and feeling pretty frustrated.

So far, I've been unable to use any android image successfully except for Ayufan's 7.1, and the stock 7.1.2 SD image. The 8.1 SD image is missing partitions on boot (something I read led me to believe this is because the img labeled for SD is actually for EMMC), and the 9.0 image doesn't boot at all. Both the standby and power on lights turn on and stay on any time I've tried to use that image. I read elsewhere that the only working image for 9.0 is the 64 GB one, and I do have an extra 128GB SD card lying around, so I'll try that one later.

At any rate, 7.1.2 works perfectly for my use case with a few tweaks, except I can't get any RTL8812AU chips to work. I have tried 5 different ones just today. I can see the RTL8812au.ko module exists in /system/lib/modules, and DMESG shows that my wifi adapter is recognized, VID/PID and all. When I try turning on wifi through network settings, DMESG says that rfkill-wifi driver failed to initialize successfully, and states that it failed to turn on the generic adapter. Basically there is a missing piece in there somewhere but I'm not sure where.

On ODROID's forums I found this thread: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=24326 which seems super promising, but I'm not sure how I would go about applying the principles found there to android 7.1.2 on my Rock64. I don't see /etc/modprobe.d or a wifi_list.txt or anything of the sort. Can anyone point me in the right direction?]]>

Fast forward to today. I noticed over the last year interest was waning in this board. Community posts are down to a trickle. I managed to pick up five of these boards for a fraction of what I paid for my original purchase. Now that I needed an Android TV box I decided to give it a go and install Android 8.1 TV on an SD card as per the recommended install image https://files.pine64.org/os/ROCK64/andro...oot.img.xz . The following is how I went about it and the results that followed

I downloaded the image mentioned above.Instead of the recommended install procedure I extracted the downloaded image with Win7zip https://www.7-zip.org/download.html . It's a very stable file extraction utility and the extraction process went fine. I then used Win32 Disk Image https://win32diskimager.download/ to write the extracted image to the SD card. Once that was complete I popped the SD card into the Rock64 and powered it up and to my surprise after 10 minutes the Rock64 splash screen appeared followed shortly after by it the Android splash and finally the Actual Android GUI.

After configuring the usual locales and connecting to wired LAN via the ethernet port and attaching a mouse/keyboard I was ready to go. I started to notice that wired LAN was dropping packets and disconnecting and reconnectiing.After a quick search here with suggestions of changing to shorter ethernet cables, two pair cable instead of four to resolve Gigabit Ethernet resolution issues nothing worked. Of course I was lucky enough to have four other boards to swap in. Well I've discovered that two of the five boards have faulty ethernet connectors and one of them also faulty USB2 connectors. Also it looks like USB2 to external DAC is out owing to cracks and pops during playback.This behaviour is similar to that on the RPI3+ owing to conflict between ethernet and USB2 bus. Obviously I can't confirm this for sure on the Rock64 but I know I am experiencing this.

I finally settled on one board that boots with no issues.Full Gigabit ethernet, USB2 ports working fine. My next problem was low sound. I tried every possible option for sound out including USB to external DAC. You could barely hear a thing. Finally I stumbled on the ADB option to control sound output. I enabled the Developer option on the Rock64. I installed ADB for Linux on a Linux machine and from the Linux machine issued the adb connect command to connect both machines together. I finally found the command to increase the Rock64 built in audio output to maximum adb shell media volume --show --stream 3 --set 15 .I now had perfect audio via HDMI to an amp via coxial or in my case coaxial from TV to external DAC and analogue to the amplifier. Sound is now perfect.

This install did take a little longer than expected. What I have learnt is that it appears quite a lot of those Rock64 boards may have been faulty from day one and only I had spare boards to experiment with I'd never got Android working on my Rock64. I just did a basic outline here.If anyone planning on doing an Android install on the Rock64 has any questions ask away.]]>

 Let me first explain that I already have the PlutoTV app installed on a 1GB R64 with the Android 8.0 image. I installed PlutoTV onto it from the Google Play store, which I installed through the ADB, as suggested in another post on this board.

My current project is the 1G-Rock64 with the following

Google Services Framework: Ver: 9-6475783
Google Play store Ver: 21.9.47-21[0][PR]331897675
At this point everything seems to be working well, as Play store works. I also had to figure out to unplug the keyboard and use the on screen keyboard to input the wireless password but the apps I've tried so far work. Except for Pluto.
Pluto, as loaded from the Play store gives the following error:
 INCOMPATIBLE VERSION
The installed APK is not compatible with this device. Please download a supported version from Google Play.

My question(s) are: Has anyone else had this issue with this app, on this image? Could this be an issue with the image, or that it's not the AndroidTV version? Should I load the un-rooted image (ROCK64_dd_20190617_stock_android_9.0_emmcboot-16GB.img.gz ) to correct this issue? I truly don't mind having to reload this card with another image, the question is more about saving myself a bit of time testing another image, because this one had been going well so far.

None of the combinations booted into Android. 

I know that this is a developer SBC, i also tried Armbian and Manjaro ARM flawlessly, so i find quite strange this behaviour.

The PSU is a 3A 5v, i can acccept that maybe this unit will never boot into Android, but if there is a tip, i'll take it.

 I recently bought the Rock64 board and I would like to install the most recent and updated version of Android (Stock or TV) BUT it includes "root". That once installed, it is already with the "root" applied.

I want to install some applications BUT it is essential that the Android version is "root".

What is the LAST or most RECENT version of Android (Tv or Stock) that includes "root" and that is available for eMMC 16Gb?

Thank you very much and much encouragement, strength and courage Smile Smile]]>

What would be the minimum RAM size and SD card size requirements for doing this?
Can I get by with 1GB RAM version of ROCK64 and 8GB SD card?

The setup can and need be quite minimalist, as I will only need to run a handful of very simple apps. Google Play Store is not required for my use case.

For reference - When I ran these apps on an Android 5.1.1 emulator set to 1GB RAM, I had over 325 MB of free RAM; and only 26% of 8 GB storage was used.
            - Similarly, these same apps ran fine on an Android 7.1.1 and Android 10 Virtual Devices in Android Studio, both set to 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage.]]>

As a real noobie I have install android tv on my rock64 card board; I'm using it principaly to run KODI (might not be the smartest way to do it but that was my way).
It works almost perfectly but I am facing some problems:
- the board turns off when turning the TV in sleeping mode: is there a way to deactivate on android tv specifically the ANYNET+? what is weird is that the board turn off and on with the official IR remote that work, but I can't awake the board once off by the tv remote.
Any solutions?
- android tv is running very well but it isn't constant. Sometimes it is slow (more than 3 minutes) to fast to start and in that case it is running then slow ; I'm suspecting my RJ45 plug/connection (it connected to the network through a cable)
did someone have had any problem with the onboard plug? 
- Backup(ing) my PC computer: what would be the simpliest way (using android tv) to back my PC on hard disk plugged to the ROCK64?
- last but not least: chromecast is integrated to android tv, is there a way to cast from my phone to the ROCK64 if the connection is done via a RJ45 wire?

I have checked on the different thread and I haven't found the answer, but I might haven't look well

thank for reading this message,

I can't get any app downloaded to Android 9.0 on my Rock64.
I would like to have the Adblocker browser, so that I can watch Youtube without breaks.
Does anyone have this problem, and do you have a solution?

Thank you]]>
