@@i_got_worms7106 I said the same yesterday but my comment didn't come through. I 100% agree, and not only that but think that if you want to develop games or other kind of apps for Raspberry you need to use complex tools or build your own on top of available frameworks. But with an official Android build you could even use Unity, Godot, GameMaker or maybe even an optimized UE4 game, and export to Android with a click of a button. And there are dozens of other development environments that would work instantly. I find it weird because Eben Upton has said multiple time that he expected to have many native games for Raspberry but instead is mainly used for emulators and ports of old games. With Android this would definitely change. I've been telling the Godot community that we need an export for Raspberry and other SBCs but if we had an official Android this work wouldn't be needed. Raspbian and other distros are nice and all but having to compile your code for ARM Linux with GLES2 and all the debugging and so on is a PITA. Even if technically they'd not be "native" Raspberry games it'd be much better that what we have now.
OK - apologies if I am repeating or maybe other viewers may have said the following already. . 1) You can still tweak the config.txt file (if you open the SD card with a linux distribution like Ubuntu and a) Can modify the config.txt and add the 3 famous lines that allow for overclocking (I take no responsibility if you break your board) b) Expand the partition that contains your data again using Ubuntu with Gparted (I did it twice with no-data-loss)- Again I don't take responsibilities if you lose your data. 2) I have downloaded the kernel adjutor app that allows you to have the CPU speed match that maximum that you set in the config.txt at boot time and also change the kernel to "performance" mode. This made the experience much smoother (for me). I also upgraded the firmware of PI4 to the latest (I'm still not sure if that is relevant when running Android, but as the config.txt is still there .. I would assume it is relevant as the firmware is likely CMOS flashed to the RPI4 (maybe?)
Hey ETA Prime, I have been following your videos for a few years now and just wanted to let you know that whenever i come across a problem that i cant solve, your the only one who seems to have the answers. Thanks again for your helpful videos!!!
Thank you very much. It is ok. But I have a question. I use a sd card 32 gb. After installing Lineage OS 16, the remain capacity of internal storage is only 4 gb. Can I expand the internal storage by using unallocated space?
This is because you are flashing an image of another SD card onto your card. The file system is from the original card, which is unable to be expanded to fit your SD card volume unfortunately.
MiniTool Partition Wizard on Windows; GParted on Linux-once lineage OS is setup, I would think either of these would do the trick...(?). I'd make a backup before resizing partitions though.
fyi as of 3/9/2020. I've installed everything as said but you no longer need to use deviceid after rebooting i went right into playstore and works perfectly, but remember to overclock your pi using eta primes video. and if you don't get video make sure you're plugged into hdmi 0 next to the power plug. and using a very good cpu cooling system, as always overclock as your own risk. thanks for watching..
I really wanted to try this out but personally I've given up getting Android to run, I've tried both 9/10 on multiple SD cards and I get no monitor output at all, reinstall raspbian/manjaro/ubuntu, works like a charm
Make sure you have a 1080p monitor, try and bypass EDID in config.txt file, make sure your sd card is formatted to fat before flashing it. These things worked for me
A tad slow, but great to have one more option for the os. Thanks. Also I did not get the warning for Google Play, worked without the device ID step, hmm pretty interesting
Awesome video! I was able to get everything working, but boy was it sloooooow. I tried running the official Sonic the Hedgehog 1 app from Sega and it was maybe 2 fps. I also tried Periscope... it was horrible, but it felt like dial-up speed video. Also, I'm not sure how to get the sound out of the 3.5 jack rather then HDMI. I was hoping to stream from my pi 4 using Android, but I guess I'll have to find another route to that. But seriously great video. It was super straight forward and everything worked!
Protip: if you don't wanna install google apps (i personally don't like them) install F-Droid (open source package manager like cydia for android) and install Aurora Store (Open source play store alternative that downloads apps from google services anonymously)
Great tutorial but I have some questions: 1. In the official raspberry pi website, they said that Raspberry Pi 4 Model B used 64bit core, does that mean we have to use Opengapps arm64 build? 2. Can we install Magisk on this things? ( It have TWRP so I'm thinking that it might possible to do that) Thank you for answering those questions T
this is great. now if you could use it to cast movies to the tv/chromcast/etc, and attach a large hard drive. this could be the ultimate offline media server.
I would recommend using a USB instead of using an SD card because the USB runs way more faster than an SD card does and you can get some pretty good USB that run really good
Love your videos, great info and easy to follow, most of the time. I am missing something on this one. This is my first time using terminal on android and so when you said you will just remember the decision, I got lost because I have no idea what you did to get the dialogue box to open, I would love to know how you did that. Thanks
Awesome video! I was wondering once android is installed how quickly does it boot up. I have a use for this and have been trying to figure out from power to fully booted, how long that would take.
hey eta prime, i love your videos man, they get me so happy. I dont play any retro games but you have all the most fun and creative ideas for your videos. I just finished doing this project on my raspberry pi but I was wondering if flashing custom roms would mess it up. If you end up reading this would you do a video on this idea? i want to flash corvus os rom. I have been getting a really bad stuttering as well any tips? thanks again man your video are helping out so much my mental health.
Hello, I was able to follow your instructions and all went well, Thank You.. I have a question related to overclocking the CPU and GPU, can it be done with Android? I guess my question is, is the overclocking that you explain in the other video also applicable to this? - I guess this would depend on where the settings for overclocking are stored. - Normally in the Androids phones it's at the Kernel parameter level. Thank You
@L.Springer Well, I did the change myself on the same \boot\config.txt file that you use with noobs. Downloaded and installed a kernel adjuter (something like that) to verify that the overclocking worked and it seems to work. The max CPU though that I could achieve in other distributions seems to be limited to 2000Mhz in this. Anything over that and it won't boot. - I also seems, that the "caffeine" boost also works (which I really don't understand how/why) as well. In overall though the performance doesn't seem good enough (at least for me).
well...idk what is baldurs gate but I know that even rpi 4 4gb version is not strong enough to run Graveyard keeper (and i didnt even said that both of those games would not run on arm processor...there is needed 64x86x or Amd core)
The latest version is not overclocked by default. You need to edit the config.txt file like you do for any other os. After I did that it works way better. Aida 64 says it is maxed out at 2294 MHz now....lol. Make sure you have active cooling!
Well done on the video. Really informative. Can you tell me how you got the HDMI audio to work. Mine is not working at all, yet it plays on the headphone plug
Hi man I'm a big fan and I have questions, I would really appreciate if you answer because you are the right person. so next school year I NEED a laptop for school and I really love coding so is the raspberry pi 4 4gb worth it making a laptop with? because my dad won't buy it because he thinks it's not worth the price. I have a 3d printer and I can 3d print the casing and I have a battery already. so is it worth it making a laptop and using it as a student with windows 10 or kali Linux 🤔 I only have 4 months left for next year and I really need a laptop and 200$ is actually a lot for me so please answer me so I can buy it and build it and have time to fix it if it has issues btw I subscribed 😀
So, this unofficial version of android is stuck on 720p which can not be changed. It doesn't support anything more than 720p, don't even bother trying. There is no support for hardware video encoding/decoding by the OS. Also, Kodi doesn't support more than 30fps on 2160p. The only thing this SBC is good for is using Raspbian. Which in my case is useless, as I wanted a media player/tv box. So, Don't buy this device unless you want a low-end desktop pc replacement. Also, good tutorial hey!
Thanks for the great walkthrough! I have this setup on my raspberry pi4 with the raspberry 7" touchscreen. The home button is to the right of the screen and not at the bottom as in your video. and I am missing the back button and the button to the right of the home button. Is there a setting for this? or do you have any idea on how to solve it?
Probably not. Spotify did not work with my google developer based Alexa pi. I would be surprised if it worked with this install. Same for Prime Video and Netflix.
Hey ETA, another nice video man, congrats! Could you tell me please what's your firmware (rpi-firmware) version?? Because, the latest one only allows to overclock CPU, not GPU... Thanks!
I haven't read all the comments listed but, and I understand I'm late to the game, the latest build of GAPPS doesn't fit in the partition and fails time and time again, even if I try to load it from a USB flash drive. I've tried to use GPARTED to increase the size of the partition but it won't allow me to make any modifications to the existing partitions in that build. I even went as far as to try to find the exact version of GAPPS you described in your video but alas too much time has passed and it no longer exists, not even in archives. Suggestions?
I don't know if you're up to answer questions, but do you think this could run Minecraft? I have the mobile version and a friend of mine would like to play it but he's got nothing to play it on, so I was thinking maybe I hook him up with a raspberry pi and let him use my account to play.
Great vid. Wondering if you had success getting any sound out of this config via the 1/8" jack on the Pi? I know you can tell a pi explicitly which device to output sound to but not sure if can be specified via Lineage/Android.
The install keeps hanging on the reboot after: rpi4-recovery.sh boot Reboot Reflashed twice and the same thing happens, the ball on the line animation plays. Left it alone for 1/2 hour each time.
hey idk if you ever respond to people on here however there are many people who are having problems with downloading this for their pi including I. I do understand this video is way out of date but may you do a trouble shooting video please would love to install this to my pi. thank you for your time.
Also, for the record, your posts are usually spot on and extremely informative and I am in no way blaming or holding you responsible. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I need this particular build because I'm trying an experiment. I loved that piece you did on the Car Dongle and I ordered one but, again... late to the game, it won't ship until the end of July. Sooo, I thought I'd make an Android 9 build on my Pi 4B and see if I can make it work in my 2020 Taco until the real deal gets here. I tried the AndroidTV 11 build and alas it didn't work, so I thought I'd drop ten and punt.
Thanks for this tutorial. I have been looking for a way to build a customised android device and at last I got it. Actually, with all the features of the Pi, I want to make a full featured android phone which will have custom features. Can it be done? What are the limitations in this approach?
Avid watcher of your channel. I am trying to do this but not on an SD card but on an SSD drive....is this possible...I pre-ordered the case you covered on your recent video which allows use of an SSD or 2.5 hard drive...and wondering if these steps can be done on that media rather than the micro SD card?
I find the same error occurring even though there is space available in the partitions. Did you manage to resolve this? Tried other youtube vids and can't find the solution
When I insert my SD card into my Pi and plug it in, it just flashes a thin white line on screen about every 2-3 seconds. I've tried rewriting the card 4 times with no effect, tried a different card, didn't work. I got my card with Retropie on it and that worked fine, but then tried android again and was met with the flashing again. Any solution?
OK, before I try this; assuming it runs (I've seen varying success), can you use the Android development language and create apps and side-load them onto the Raspberry PI?
What are the pros of an raspberry pi 4 running android vs a android box, like the mi box s 4k. They are similarly priced and the mi box sounds like a lot less work with the benefit of real tv android.
Hi, after wathing the tutorial I decided I'd give it a go, but here's the problem. My Pi don't wanna boot at all. it's just dark screen. The lights on Pi are blinking like it's doing something. I have a 4GB version and I'm using a SanDisc microSD, so the card isn't a problem. Thoughts?
love the video. um I do have a issue I do not have the back buttons for the tablets. idk what happen but they are lost. the only button I have is the home button. can you help?also system keeps crashing unless im hard wire to internet.i am new to rasberry so idk if i did something wrong
Same but Play wouldn't work. Had issues if I connected to network during setup; would not log in to Google. Skipped network set up, got to the home screen, went to Settings > Accounts and added Google account there. Was going to add the GSF code to g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration that I saw in the video but didn't have to.
I've just purchased my 1st raspberry pi 4 and followed your instruction but, since there's a newer Adroid version I went for 11 and once inserted the sd card and pressed the power button it seems to load that colorful screen the same as it did for you and that Android loading animation but, then after 1 sec it just turned the screen off and did nothing, no signal on the screen. any idea? is it the Android version I am using? can raspberry pi 4 run Android 11? I have the 4gb version. Thanks
Hello, I followed your work instruction to the T but not able to get out of recovery mode after installing the Gapps. When in terminal, after typing in “rpi4-recovery.sh boot”, I get an error “rpi4-recovery.sh: not found”. I did remember to click “data”, “system” and “boot” before entering into the terminal. Any idea what could cause this issue?
I have been working on this for a while and can't come up with a solution. Google play says that the device is not certified. However, when I go to register it, it says that the number is already in use...It also let me download some apps with it uncertified, but restarts the tablet every time I try to use them. I assume this is because it is not certified. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
It really is shocking that the Raspberry Pi Foundation don't just supply an official Android build. I'd even pay them for it.
I know right, I’ve always wanted an official build right out of the box, they would also sell so many more boards this way.
@@ETAPRIME absolutely. They would gain a significant proportion of the android tv box market literally overnnight.
Because it doesn't suit the aim of the foundation 🙄
It works great. Looks slower than your pi though, even though it's the same model...

How quickly does it boot up from being shut down? Is it also possible to run Android Auto by connecting it to a car's head unit via USB?
Avid watcher of your channel. I am trying to do this but not on an SD card but on an SSD drive....is this possible...I pre-ordered the case you covered on your recent video which allows use of an SSD or 2.5 hard drive...and wondering if these steps can be done on that media rather than the micro SD card?
I keep getting an error about no available space on the SD card when installing Gapps. The card is 128GB.
I find the same error occurring even though there is space available in the partitions. Did you manage to resolve this? Tried other youtube vids and can't find the solution
same (error 70) but i have 128GB sd card
Hello ETA I was wondering if you can do a little review on a bluetooth controller called the Ipega 9025
Nice tutorial.
What monitor are you using?
Do you still maintain root access after doing all of this?
When I insert my SD card into my Pi and plug it in, it just flashes a thin white line on screen about every 2-3 seconds. I've tried rewriting the card 4 times with no effect, tried a different card, didn't work. I got my card with Retropie on it and that worked fine, but then tried android again and was met with the flashing again. Any solution?
I have exactly the same problem any solution?
Was there a problem with reformatting the sd card?
OK, before I try this; assuming it runs (I've seen varying success), can you use the Android development language and create apps and side-load them onto the Raspberry PI?
sure...yes i know,it is a pi but it still has arm core and it is android :)
Great video worked flawlessly, any way to expand the filesystem?
Thanks for the guide! How can I adjust the screen resolution? The icon images look very low quality.
It's limited to 1280x720
How do you overclock the Pi if you running Lineage OS ? I get how to do it if you running Raspberrian. But I got no clue if you run Android.
Marvellous tutorial... is this possible for the pi 2?
No need to reply... you mention 2-4 gb of ram... I don't think the pi2 has those specs.
Very cool video! Thanks!
What are the pros of an raspberry pi 4 running android vs a android box, like the mi box s 4k. They are similarly priced and the mi box sounds like a lot less work with the benefit of real tv android.
i also want to know this, and netflix performance.
Great video, really helpful. Thanks!
Does anyone have a solution to get a microphone to work plugged in to the Raspberry-pi with Android set up?
Did you find a solution?
Very Good Tutorial!
Hi, after wathing the tutorial I decided I'd give it a go, but here's the problem. My Pi don't wanna boot at all. it's just dark screen. The lights on Pi are blinking like it's doing something. I have a 4GB version and I'm using a SanDisc microSD, so the card isn't a problem. Thoughts?
Very useful! thanks👍
love the video. um I do have a issue I do not have the back buttons for the tablets. idk what happen but they are lost. the only button I have is the home button. can you help?also system keeps crashing unless im hard wire to internet.i am new to rasberry so idk if i did something wrong
Will this work for Raspberry Pi 2 versions? Just curious.
Is it possible to run Autel Explorer on it? I wanted to use Raspberry 4 and Freewell Monitor to pilot my Evo2 drone instead of CrystalSky
It's possible to use a secondary monitor with this Android version?
I did everything you did but I didn't get a "Device Not Play Protect Certified" prompt to click on to input the code.
Same here
Same but Play wouldn't work. Had issues if I connected to network during setup; would not log in to Google. Skipped network set up, got to the home screen, went to Settings > Accounts and added Google account there. Was going to add the GSF code to g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration that I saw in the video but didn't have to.
I've just purchased my 1st raspberry pi 4 and followed your instruction but, since there's a newer Adroid version I went for 11 and once inserted the sd card and pressed the power button it seems to load that colorful screen the same as it did for you and that Android loading animation but, then after 1 sec it just turned the screen off and did nothing, no signal on the screen. any idea? is it the Android version I am using? can raspberry pi 4 run Android 11? I have the 4gb version.
Thanks
So What About Raspberry Pi Model 3B ????
Great..! How can I add a gps to use google maps after this set up?
Can I extend my unused space on the sd card?
Do you have any videos for that?
i am hoping that soon we we'll get a android that is only made for rasberry pi
How well does Kodi work on the android version? I suspect it wouldn't work very well but just curious.
Awesome video I learned a lot thanks so much.p
Hello, I followed your work instruction to the T but not able to get out of recovery mode after installing the Gapps. When in terminal, after typing in “rpi4-recovery.sh boot”, I get an error “rpi4-recovery.sh: not found”. I did remember to click “data”, “system” and “boot” before entering into the terminal. Any idea what could cause this issue?
i have installed and it is working well. I have gps usb module but it is not working if there is any solution for this?
Hey, I am stuck in a bootloop to and fro rainbow screen. Would you happen to know how to fix it?
im too
I have been working on this for a while and can't come up with a solution.
Google play says that the device is not certified. However, when I go to register it, it says that the number is already in use...It also let me download some apps with it uncertified, but restarts the tablet every time I try to use them. I assume this is because it is not certified. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
He is putting out a LOT of instructions and information very quickly. It is like a machine gun.
