Android Marshmallow for RaspberryPi 2

[Peter Yoon]

I managed to create patch-set upon AOSP Marshmallow source.

Follow this link : https://github.com/peyo-hd/local_manifests/tree/marshmallow

and find device_brcm_rpi2.

No gpu acceleration yet. 

[andro.h...@gmail.com]

is there a command?

I mean ... the linux terminal.

Just in case I have time to look into Android graphics again:

Does this bring up serial console by default?

Does it bring up ethernet (DHCP) by default?

If it did dhcp at boot time, that would make things more accessible for
me.

Network (Lan) works pretty well at the moment and so does adb.

[Peter Yoon]

Does this bring up serial console by default? 

==> Yes

Does it bring up ethernet (DHCP) by default? 

==> Yes

How can I set it to use the display port instead of HDMI? I'm using the official raspberry pi display and it didn't work. 

[jsch...@redhat.com]

Peter, is it possible to provide a ready-to-go image for an SD card?

[ric96]

The video has a link in its description for a ready to flash image.

[jsch...@redhat.com]

oh, you're right - clicking "More" indeed shows more links... :-)
Thanks a lot!

[jsch...@redhat.com]

Anyone successful in starting the browser? Mine crashes immediately...

Also, did anyone successfully install Google Play Store (e.g. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-android-tv-5-10-30-leanback-android-apk-download/ )?

[ric96]

Did it on 5.1 lollipop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANERemB6gT4

should be the same but the gapps zip would be different

[Peter Yoon]

Added support for Audio output through HDMI port.

Hello
I m looking for informations about android on rpi2.
I m confused with all this i could read and finally i think your repo git would be a good starting point.
Could you explain me more precisely how to build the img please ?

To clarify for what i m going to work in this way is that i would like to work a system which would have the hability to launch apk made with cordova/crosswalk.
Do i go on the good direction ?

Regards

[alexp...@gmail.com]

Good time of the day.

My English is not very good, exscuse me if I said something wrong.

Just built marshmallow for rpi2.

Is there a way to add software power button and navigation bar (back, properties), and screen keyboard in this system? Now I can return back to desktop only using 'escape' button on hardware keyboard. Or, it is possible to work with this system using mouse only?

Maybe need to add/edit some before build?

Thanks in advance

[aljosh...@gmail.com]

if it has root access im still downloading add

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to the last line of /system/build.prop
this will add navigationbar

[Thomas M]

Do you need root access for this or could you just put the SD card in your PC and add the line?

[ric96]

you can do it on a linux system

[ric96]

no, it doesn't work

Thanks for answer.

I tried this. Doesn't work.
Now experimenting with change 'config_showNavigationBar' to true in source, but with no luck so far...

With above parameter I got empty navigation bar, no navigation buttons. Perhaps it related to screen layout, but I absolutely new in android development, and can't be sure. On video by ric96 I saw another screen layout, where navigation bar works, and applications button placed at bottom instead of right, as it does with current build, but I can't understand how change layout.

A work-around for OpenGL ES failure with Java GLSurfaceView :

[Peter Yoon]

How to apply Android TV Leanback Launcher :

https://github.com/peyo-hd/device_brcm_rpi2/wiki#how-to-apply-android-tv-leanback-launcher

[Peter Yoon]

When TV Launcher is applied, Shortcut to Tablet mode app could be made.

Look at this example : https://github.com/peyo-hd/LeanbackShortcut

[ric96]

this works well, but in you github wiki the following line:

After that do Android build and write target filesystem. Check Launcher2 is replaced by LeanbackLauncher on target SD card's /system/priv-app filder.

should be:

After that do Android build and write target filesystem. Check Launcher2 is replaced by LeanbackLauncher on target SD card's /system/app folder.

thnx.

[Thomas M]

Again thanks for the good work.

 

The Generic.kl maps the POWER-Button to 116. Maybe you should change this to 68 (F10), so you can use the power Button with nearly every Keyboard. 

[Peter Yoon]

After getting this build working, I started studying Android Java OpenGL ES2.0 API.

Below, sharing simple exercise code which could run on the rpi2 target.

[Thomas M]

Have you considered publishing your work at xda Forums? There are some capable Android developers, who would probably join you.

[Peter Yoon]

Hi Thomas,

It seems there are more discussions between developers at XDA forum.

Then it could be good for accelerate development progress.

But still I would like to stay in this uncrowded group and sharing on github,

because I am doing it loosely for my leisure time.

Had anyone tried AnTuTu benchmark.If someone had tried plz post me scores

even if we post here the scores, they will not be complete because theres no 3d yet

go to the geek till it hertz channel, i think he tests antutu in a 2d demonstration video or something

anyway, im pretty sure that if there were drivers and whatever, the score of the pi 2 would be something like 10k points

wich is really decent 

[leon...@gmail.com]

Amazing work. Just a quick question, have you had any luck getting the browser / webview to work? Browser crashes on startup, and in an app I am attempting to run with a webview, it crashes with the abort message:

'[FATAL:gl_surface_android.cc(58)] Check failed: kGLImplementationNone != GetGLImplementation() (0 vs. 0)'

Is this a graphics issue? Did you get better performance on any of your previous builds in this regard?

[ric96]

Name of the apps?

[thang bui]

You can't do it using Windows, because the AndroidbBuild process only works on Linux. You could use VirtualBox to run a Linux vm in Windows, but this would probebly take more time then running Linux directly.

[farro...@gmail.com]

it crashes on the pi3

[usama....@gmail.com]

is this image still work for rpi 2b  ?? I am trying to install it but everytime it keeps stucking at multi color screen. Not going any further in booting process.
