[Yavuz Erzurumlu]

Hi i need lollipop build of rpi3. I haven't seen any branch on device_brcm_rpi3. Is it possible to run lollipop on RPi3 ? 

Thanks.

AOSP or CM? If CM is ok, you can use my repo for cm-12.1 (which is Android 5.1.1).

config:

https://github.com/RTAndroid/android_device_brcm_rpi3

binary for testing:

Do you have a link to your last build of CM 12.1 for the Raspberry Pi 3? I can't find it on your site only links for N preview.

Sorry Darren, we gave up the CM branch just a couple of weeks ago.

Is there any specific reason you would like to have CM?

[Darren Newman]

I was hoping a CM based rom would have the option to root baked in.

My AOSP-based image has it :)

[Darren Newman]

Cool, does it have the Google Play store?

[Igor Kalkov]

No, as we don't use Google Play in our project and because Google doesn't actually allow preinstalling it. But I saw a couple of tutorials here how to install it.

Maybe some details about root: as I said we have su binary and the Superuser app preinstalled. But we are also working on integrating root permissions directly into the Android framework. This means you don't need "su -c" anymore to execute privileged commands. You can just do it straight from your Java or native code. Latter is used in our setup to initialize WiringPi and control GPIO pins without shell and without touching "/sys/class/gpio/" files.

Thanks, I will have a look.
