Hi, I'm delighted to see the video.

For the apps not showing on Android TV home screen,

I think we can include a simple launcher linked below.

NVM, I had a dumb question 😉 just sideloade via network a file browser an then put all files on a USB stick.

Youtube & ES FileBrowser worked in my test

[Thomas N]

Sideload it

[atze.d...@naturalis.nl]

Does it also support Chromecast? As in, Can you cast to this device. (All native android tv stuff supports this)

thanks I tested it today but the screen is off centre? is there a config file or app to change over scan, etc?

es file explorer and work. going to try an emulator. dual shock 4 wired works and my USB ir kodi remote works too

Logitech Bluetooth keyboard didn't work.

overall really solid for such an early build...

[Chetan Rajpal]

Just download the image given in windows extract with 7zip. Then again extract the img with 7 zip. 5 files will be there.. use firt four. To writ on sdcard.

[Chetan Rajpal]

Hey ric96 can u plz add rpi3 device proprietary for marshmallow on github. Plz also give instructions what to change in external folder of aosp orignal source to make the build work as after complete compiling the rpi is still not booting.

[nspa...@gmail.com]

So far so good. Looks like most things are working, including HDHomerun View. Maybe we'll see HDMI-CEC support in the f

[openbs...@gmail.com]

Hi, when it boot, I received a Blank screen and on incamptible settings on the TV? Please, can you help me?

Greeting from Colombia.

[Thomas N]

Yeah no don't do that, just use Win32DiskImager to write the image to the card

[mcou...@fbcn.org]

Installed fine but I have no apps.  I assume that is correct.  I would also assume that I can sideload ES File Explorer.  But I cannot figure out how that is done.

[openbs...@gmail.com]

My monitor sugest me a 720p30 resolution not 1080p when android logo is starting.

Change your monitor resolution and its works, however I don't know how to change resolution from boot.

[jerem...@gmail.com]

just installed this unofficial build, however having problems such as many applications not responding and the base launcher is crashing very often. Any solution?

[Chetan Rajpal]

Also youtube leanback only playing 720p videos in different colors also only voice comes when playing youtube on any other resolution with noise on screen..
Also mx player and play movies give some error about playback not available on this device

[dani...@gmail.com]

No secret at all, just download image, uncompress it and copy to microSD using Win32DiskImager, boot your RPi3 with that microSD and enjoy.

Easiest way to install apps would be to connect via and. Set port to 5555, and adb connect to the OP of the device. Then adb install app.apk.

Has anyone tried the netflix app? I can't figure out how to install apps. Plus I can't seem to get any video out on the 3.5mm av output, but that could be the cable, I haven't checked it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[hary....@gmail.com]

Did you get some special APK? i'm using one from apkmirror and i'm benig told i can't play anything without play services which my device doesn't support and it closes.

[Chetan Rajpal]

I just installed gapps package of adt 1 but youtube playback is not googd colors are changed.. play movies giving error playback not available on this device. Mx downloaded from play store itself giving same error .

[dani...@gmail.com]

Netflix app installs but do not starts, i think this is play services related.
To install an app just sideload from PC with adb install app.apk command

Attempted to get this to work. Picked up a Raspberry PI 3 model B, wiped the SD card, then imaged it using the image provided. Boot to multicolored screen, then monitor goes black, and stays black. Attempted on a 19" LCD monitor over HDMI to VGA, a 32 inch HDready tv over DVI, and my 47" Visio over HDMI only, while imaging the drive each time, just in case during the time that the hard drive was in use, that I didn't somehow corrupt whatever configs it was setting.

I had to validate with NOOBS that my PI 3 was still functioning, which it is. I did not get any android screen. With the monitor, the screen turned off after the inital color boot screen. The 32 inch did not even get the color boot screen, and the 47 inch got the color screen, but nothing after that.

Any help would be appreciated. 

[thoma...@gmail.com]

I have the exact same issue. I've not found a fix, only more people with the same issue. Multiple different screens giving the same result.

[cpu...@gmail.com]

I have the same issue with the multi color boot screen then nothing. I've left it for over an hour and still nothing, SD card hot, it seems to be doing "something" because the status lights blink.
I installed with osx 10.11 and used dd to copy image over to sd card. I have not tired windiskimage yet.

[jmcgu...@gmail.com]

I had the same blank screen issue with my first SD card, then I tried another formatted as FAT32 Primary first then used win32 to write the image and it worked fine

[matt.c...@gmail.com]

Yea! I got the sideloading figured out.  I'm actually using the Amazon FireTV Utility App and that makes it very easy.  I only get Kodi and YouTube to operate so far.  My colors are wrong though.  Reds are showing up blue, etc. on Video playback from both apps.  The red in the YouTube app is find so it isn't a problem everywhere.

[knobt...@gmail.com]

For all of you who have the rainbow screen of death - that means your power supply for your Pi is too weak. You need at least 5.1V DC and 2.5A. Current is more in demand than voltage.
Weak power supply will also hibdr your WiFi range. Learned that the hard way.
Provide a stable power supply for Pi3 and you'll be fine.

[zeh...@gmail.com]

Apparently not, I've just loaded the image from http://geektillithertz.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/06/02/android-tv-for-raspberry-pi-3/ but it doesn't show up as a Chromecast device and couldn't find any settings.

That would be a really nice feature I'd love to have as well...

Hi guys,

I would like to know if its possible to install the gapps. I have tried, but no success. somebody could give some tips?

[Hary Ayala]

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-rpi/PJ5O_8Rr27I/2teltSz9BAAJ

There's instructions in that topic, it's pretty fast and simple.

Have fun

Thanks Hary,

Do you guys know if is possible to use the same gapps in AndroidTV for Pi3?

That post has a link the leanback gapps which are the easy ones to use in Android TV but you can use any one you like as long as they are MM they just will be harder to access and use because of how they expect user input.

[maur...@gmail.com]

Installed and works well. Have side loaded Kodi and this puts a startup icon onto the homepage as well as working just great. However I can't get Netflix to startup. I have tried about 3 builds and all seem to start but never connect to the Netflix Service. I get a timeout message with a code 9. Has anyone been able to get Netflix going? If so I would really appreciate knowing which build you have loaded.
Thanks

[eln...@gmail.com]

Netflix loads with the build from Davide P, but video hw acceleration is not working, so you'll get distorted video (the same happens with Youtube or others).

[zeit...@gmail.com]

Hi, How did you solve the problem with wrong colours? I have the same issue.

[eln...@gmail.com]

Not solved yet, I am downloading the sources to compile it using the software video decoder (https://github.com/peyo-hd/device_brcm_rpi2/wiki#enable-sw-video-decoder) but I honestly don't know if it will be the solution. The current performance (with red-blue colors problem) is not bad (at least on Netflix, Youtube...)

[zeit...@gmail.com]

May be we are yousing wrong app versions? I installed Chrome, but in most cases videos are not working there.

[eln...@gmail.com]

Don't know... I have used last version apps from the Play Store. I think that it works because Davide's build contains Google Play Services and/or is compiled as Tablet...

[miguelan...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

Downloaded the image, copied in a 32GB sdcard and pluged in RPi 3. Everything runs properly so "inital" screen appear ("No recommendations available at this time") but I cannot control by mouse nor touch.

Any ideas?

Mouse does not click for me in default launcher, use keyboard or a gamepad instead

[miguelan...@gmail.com]

I really need to check mouse or touch.

Is there a way(download source code for example) to make this right?

[dreamc...@gmail.com]

This seems to be an issue with Google's Leanback applications. They don't seem to respond at all to touch or mice.

As for controlling, I'd recommend grabbing the PureNexus system image for the Molly from XDA and pulling out the AtvRemoteService folder from it's /system/priv-app. There's a library missing in the ATV image that causes the remote service to die (You can then use another Android device to control it and select items). That said, the AtvRemoteService appears to be rather unstable. But each new image seems to be bringing more and more stability to Android on the Pi.

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

hey, just curious since on my tv it boots with 1282x720@60Hz and when i open apps and things, corners are cut off, the resolution is bad for me personally.. i tried changing config.txt to 1080p, 720p and couple more combinations but it always turns back to 1282x720@60, is this hardcoded in kernel/gpu driver or something? i noticed somewhere that this is an android thing, anyone managed to pass it?

also, anyone managed to install su? im gonna mess around with it these days when i have some time, just needed a heads-up if anyone tried so far p;

[Hary Ayala]

The confix.txt file in the boot parittion is a BIOS of sorts, the OS is under no constrain to respect anything in that file once the booting process goes into the OS part

The resolution as far as I understand it is a limitation of the GPU driver at the moment, it's a driver that's currently under development, so to be expected really.

The image is already rooted because of the enviroment variables it is being built with, all you need to do is install the SuperSU app from the market.

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

fair enough since i tried all variations of hdmi groups and modes, just wanted to check if its os related..

as for root, i did install supersu, latest version and it said there is no su in the system even though it does have su binary in /system/xbin but it still doesnt see it and says i need to root it

[dreamc...@gmail.com]

Open the build.prop under /system/

There's a debug line in there forcing 720p. Remove that and the system boots under 1080p.

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

thanks mate, i didnt even check the build.prop, still not used to using android on rpi so i neglected it i guess.. just to figure out why my su isnt working

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

now i had the time to mess with it, this is what i was talking about, attaching the pics, i tried editing both build.prop and config.txt but i guess at the moment 720p is forced.. sadly it cuts a bit from my screen but at least for kodi i can arrange that in settings, others ill just deal with it.. as for su, supersu says its not rooted, probably have to replace with my own files from chainfire.. would appreciate if anyone had these issues to post any related info but nothing i cant handle on my own so no biggie

[CJ Laing]

What I mean is that there is a resolution debug line in build.prop, remove
that line (I don't have access to my Pi at the moment or I'd post it) and
then you can edit the framebuffer_width/height lines in config.txt to your
hearts content, remove it and use the hdmi_* variables etc.

It should be noted that the system is rooted, but mounted readonly. You can
get around this by using adb remount after connecting. (or editing the
ramdisk's fstab)

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

dont get me wrong, i did try every possible option i could think of, when i try anything other than 720p, it boots but screen ends up being scrambled.. might just be my tv, i dont know.. will mess with groups and modes more later i guess but so far it didnt work.. supersu still doesnt see my su binary, i did remount via adb so i could edit build.prop and i have no problems using it like that.. oh well, first time using android on rpi anyway

[Toxus]

I'm likely going to be playing with these builds further later on, I'll see about documenting my changes to the binary builds for tweaking and such and then I'll try to post it here once I finish :) But I may not have the time to do so for a little bit.

I  am not seeing any display on my Sony Bravia TV with this Android TV build. The model of my TV is KLV-32R482B. Is anyone facing the same problem here ? Is there a way to fix it ? I saw a few posts in the blog and youtube comments section complaining about no display on Sony TVs but did not see any solution.  I guess it has something to do with resolution maybe.
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks for the great work ric96 :)

Boots up on my RPi3 with a "color text picture" and then my TV displays "no signal". What resolution does it use by default?

Any idea why it isn't showing anything on display?

I found out that you can shutdown your Rasoberry Pi by typing "reboot -p" in a terminal Emumlator i use this one:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=de 

PS: Does anyone knows how to gain root acces on this Android TV build? 

[Vladimir Jovanovic]

sorry for the late reply, i could only use root via adb from my laptop, for some odd reason supersu and superuser couldnt see the su binary and always reported how its not rooted

[nath....@gmail.com]

how can you expand the storage to the sd card storage

[Igor Kalkov]

RTAndroid builds are pre-rooted: https://git.embedded.rwth-aachen.de/rtandroid/downloads/raspberry-pi/

I'm not aware of other images that have the correct su binary or the Superuser / SuperSU app bundled.

What is the purpose of the connection? Are you trying to get ADB working?

For ADB just configure a network connection (either ethernet cable or wifi) and find out the IP address of the RPi. Then execute on your host machine "adb connect IP-ADRESS-HERE"

I have this problem too with my LG Smart TV (idk the model number). Edited config.txt and deleting all line above kernel=zImage, booting raspberry and until no signal found, and then turning tv on and off (it works, weird. Maybe there's problem with mesa driver, i think i have this problem too with ubuntu mate).

[Aradyn]

I have an LG TV as well dher. I noticed after my first attempt at this, when I would start up, it would change my TV input to something other than the HDMI I was using. Weird bug with LG I guess. Might be something to keep an eye out for.

[dher...@gmail.com]

It's not LG TV only have this problem, people complaining that any tv with 1080p resolution is having issue as well. Tried with another 1080p tv, still got the same result. I thought it was signal interference when tv switching from 1080p to 720p, so i tried to change "native" resolution by deleting "forcing"-resolution at build.prop. And it's booting at 1080p but sadly still got no signal. Changing config.txt isn't worked too. So my assumption is mesa driver related issue. Yeah lets hope that future mesa driver update fix that, it's annoying to start this "android tv" by switching hdmi or turning off and on tv.

[Hary Ayala]

Have you guys tried editing the config to include : hdmi_force_hotplug=1

and then booting with no hdmi connected to the pi, and plugging it in after a few minutes? see if that lets you see the OS on the screen, if not maybe try hdmi_safe=1 at the end of the config file

My tvs Philips / Samsung both run the images fine with 1080p and 720p configs...

[Aradyn]

We can both see our images Hary. Just talking about the TV mechanics. Making changes to the PI won't change the fact that the LG TV auto detect goes haywire. Luckily it only does it on the initial boot up, all others after that it's fine.

Good day. I have installed android tv for raspberry pi using the image supplied by geektillithertz.com and I used a gapps.sh install script to install a gapps Tvstock from gapps.org. I am stuck every time after reboot with a smeared welcome screen and what appears to be a language selection that I can't get past. I've tried every possible key on the keyboard with no success aswell as multiple gapps packages with Tvstock for 6.0. Can someone please help me. I can't figure it out

[musta...@gmail.com]

Does usb pendrive or external hard disk works in this build?

[tonyc...@gmail.com]

I did made it passed with using this https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20161207/open_gapps-arm-5.1-tvstock-20161207.zip. Also I am using the https://github.com/RTAndroid/android_device_brcm_rpi3/blob/aosp-n/scripts/gapps.sh

you will need to install lzip and change the gapp.sh tar.xz to tar.lz

I did face the smeared screen, but I switched to chinese, I can see the login screen and once I finished login, the smeared screen went away 

[tonyc...@gmail.com]

Great works. I tested it and it is working ok. I did face some bugs

1. looks like not all hdmi cable works.

2. sometimes it has smeared screen. Initially I thought it might be incompatible for the google play, but I experienced that smeared screen even for the initial build. I used one of the Chinese TV apps called VST to test it. It has smeared screen. That also happened after I install gapps, the google login page did that as well.

3. The android tv remote(iphone) found the device, but failed to connect. After load the library from nexuspure system/pri-apps/AtvRemoteControl/lib/arm/libatv_uinputbridge.so, the remote seems funtional. However, after I installed the google play with opengapps, the remote app can't find the device anymore.
