Overall, I’m extremely impressed by the state of Android 9 for this hardware.
Can you provide a logcat after Kodi crashes?
Also try getprop | grep mali and post all the logs then Rockchip can look into the EGL crash issue.
So now the first of those issues is fixed.
The second issue is easily fixed by just copying the files into place.
The third issue isn’t as simple to solve, and seems to be tied to a failure in the widevine l3 implementation. That is probably the next most important thing that needs to be fixed.
Some apps that might help:
AndroidMediaShell only works on the Nvidia Shield and MiBox, it needs signed keys by Google that won’t release it for open-source, non Google Certified devices. On OpenGapps’s Github page they also say this app doesn’t work anymore.
If you add the app, it will give force close messages the whole time or just do nothing. Adding Widevine L3 won’t help with this.
AtvRemoteService app can just be added then it will work with the 2 Android phone remote control apps in the Play Store.
Try an app like Cetus Play for remote control.
If it doesn’t work properly, someone can ask them to add support or Radxa can do tests perhaps and contact them.
For Kodi remote control, an app like Yatse works well.
Getting a cheap airmouse controller works the best.
eg. https://www.gearbest.com/air-mouse/pp_639444.html?wid=1433363

The Rockchip Wifi Display app can connect with Wifi Display on your phone if you need to mirror the screen.
The DLNA app can help to receive casted videos from a phone casting app.
There is also a Chinese app, Happycast that you can install, the layout will be Chinese but the settings menu is English and it can also receive casted video from a phone app like BubbleUPNP etc.
Try to rename MOVE_HOME in system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl to HOME.
It will fix the Home key on external keyboards, not sure if it will do anything to HDMI CEC. For some tv’s like LG, extra firmware patches are needed to make HDMI CEC work as LG uses a non standard method.
I am merging the latest rk code, these problems will be verified on the latest version
LILI - Great work will your “merging” fix the other issue where google play apps just crash ?
Just to keep all the observable issues contained in one thread, there is also an issue with volume control. Specifically, there is a volume control enabled, even for strictly HDMI output. It is a software volume controller that works in the digital domain, which means that even during playback via HDMI, the volume can be lowered from maximum. HDMI should only output at full volume so that the maximum number of bits are sent to the receiver (television), which has its own volume control.
I’ve observed that it resets to a low volume every time the board is rebooted, requiring that the volume be raised. The only way I’m aware of to raise the volume is by plugging in an external keyboard with volume keys, which is inconvenient.
Regarding the HDMI CEC, here is a log excerpt;
