@Lili Thanks for the great work.

I also tried to build Android 10 for RK3399 but could only do it for ‘tablet’.
If I build ‘box’ or ‘tv’ firmware it gets stuck on the bootanimation and doesn’t boot.
Box firmware is needed for better video playback and to also build AndroidTV firmware.
I hope it will be possible in the future since I heard Android 10 is not yet developed for non tablet builds.

I will try porting Android TV, wait for news.

This is really cool Thank you very much. I’m trying it once there is a gpt image available

Mark_Paul · August 2, 2020, 12:33pm

Great news guys!
@Lili does it support the Raspberry Pi Touch Screen via DSI?

Lili · August 3, 2020, 1:22am

Does not support

Leo_DC · August 7, 2020, 3:59am

is this android rooted or not?

mo123 · August 7, 2020, 6:12am

@Leo_DC
You can patch the boot.img with Magisk Manager to use root.

How to download Android 10 source for Pi4c?
Thank you!

davemf · August 26, 2020, 9:18pm

@Lili @hipboi
Could you tell me please where can I download the android 10 source for Pi4c board?
I found manual, but it does not contain download link.

Radxa Teams, I want to help you to sold many boards!
I need this sources to build new ROM for car usage. After that I’ll share ROM and many people will buy Pi4c board for their cars.

Lili · August 28, 2020, 1:29am

The code for android10 is not open source yet, so it will take some time.

hallo1 · August 28, 2020, 11:03am

Can I install the firmware to a SD card?

mo123 · August 28, 2020, 11:48am

Only emmc.
But perhaps you could try SDDiskTool v1.71 to make it boot from a micro-sd card but you can’t write it with Etcher.

hallo1 · August 29, 2020, 7:09am

sddisktool v1.62 works fine! The system runs properly, although it is laggy due to the poor io performance.

davemf · September 7, 2020, 6:42pm

@Lili
When do you plan to upload Android 10 source to github?

SoFloppy · September 8, 2020, 12:41am

Lol Ive been combing the forums looking for this as well. Now I see we are on the waiting game… lol.

Lili · September 8, 2020, 10:42am

Lili · September 12, 2020, 9:50am
