So Google just put out their latest version of Android recently — that is, Android 7. In reality though, it will take a while for you to get this in a device that is not a Nexus phone or tablet. While they do present Android on a television, many merely output a tablet-optimized version of Android.

Essentially, it's an Android OS engineered for use on a TV or projector, and touts a number of features such as voice control, gaming capabilities, and a host of multimedia advantages. Though you can buy a few true Android TV boxes, official offerings remain slim. Unfortunately, there's a catch. Any DRMed content doesn't work. This includes streaming from Netflix and Hulu.

However, apps like Kodi, Plex, and Emby should run like a champ. On the software side, image mounting software, an extraction app, and the Raspberry Pi Android TV image are all required. The good folks over at Lemoncrest have an Android 10 Raspberry Pi 4 image. It's running on the 5. As such, many apps and games run extremely well.

Native Android gaming and emulation will run pretty well on the Raspberry Pi 4. Navigate to the community resources software section where you can download the Pi 4 Android 10 installer. It comes zipped, so you'll need to extract the compressed image. Unfortunately, I was unable to get any apps to install from the Play Store. However, I did download the Aptiode app store and installing apps from there worked just fine. Performance is overall great.

I was able to stream videos from my Plex server, play back files from a flash drive, and even run some ROMs via emulators.

These are minor issues considering that there's hardware acceleration built in. Presumably, the headphone jack issue and Play Store problem could be fixed via software update. It's all there for you! Want further configuration? This covers everything from setting up a hardware power button to configuring SSH.

You can also enable an IR remote and send audio through the 3. Before starting, make sure you have:. This means potentially better support for media software, such as YouTube and Kodi.

This is possible with various versions of Android for Raspberry Pi , but for the best results, use the LineageOS version linked to above. Before proceeding, ensure the ZIP file is unpacked. Following installation and a successful boot, LineageOS requires basic configuration.

Define the usual stuff: set country, time zone, etc. Your Raspberry Pi is now running Android. This is a version based on AOSP which means that no Google apps are installed — you will need to install these manually.

You should have already downloaded the GApps package to your PC. Message is installation failed. Upload successful.

I have enabled debugging. I have enabled unknown sources. What am I doing wrong? Did you do the original android version? Instructions worked well but I really need to get my mouse working. Any Suggestions? My Rii scratch pad works well but select will not operate.

I see only an blank black page. I tried the steps in windows How to fix this issue? Works fine, but it bugs too often on my raspberry pi3. Netflix and Amazon Video did not work so well. The Apps2Fire app says that the installation was failed but uploading was succefful. Why is that happening? Blazing fast too.

Will be posting a list of working aoos, if I dont getcsucked into this thing. Git a bt controller working, awesome! Any idea?
