[ROM] Rock5A/B AndroidTV 12 by mo123

Thanks for your work!

I just started using mostly with Jellyfin and YouTube, it can perfectly handle the 4K, HEIVC videos!
I’ll be back when I have some experience with it and give some review/feedback!

Hi @mo123,

I have bought this model:

Edit: For everyone thinking about ordering to eu: 41€ tax was to pay on delivery (Germany).
Have a good day

AFAIK wireless dongle included with x360 controller is WLan and not blutooth. I installed it on ubuntu few weeks ago, had to install xpad from paroj (github) to get it to work. Best

Edit:
I was mistaken, from my notes I had to use xow… From my notes:

#required
apt-get install cabextract

git clone https://github.com/medusalix/xow.git
cd xow
make BUILD=RELEASE
sudo make install
sudo xow-get-firmware.sh
sudo systemctl enable xow
sudo systemctl start xow

start Pair

sudo systemctl kill -s SIGUSR1 xow

Hello. Please tell me which wifi adapters are supported and which is the best?

Hi mo123,
I just tried again flashing your image and now USB-C out and touchscreen is working!! I don’t know if you already updated the image or if it was because I was too impatient during first bootup (I think I restarted some times the first time because I thought it froze). Either way, Thank you very much!! Have a nice weekend!

Edit (one day later):
Working with your image on my new oled is a breeze! Almost everything I have tried so far worked! 10 of 10 points from me.
Things I was positivly suprised about:

  • HDMI In works like a charm
  • HDR10 (compared to nightmare in linux)
  • Many (android) options
  • Vulkan is working great already

Some things I have noticed:

  • Touchscreen is working almost every time when booting but sometimes when rebooting touchscreen stopps working. One or two reboots more and it will work again.
  • I only found audio jack, hdmi out and spif as audio out but no dp out.
  • NVME not recognized (when booting from SD)

Hello I could have the password for the file?

Can you send me password?

mr @mo123, is there any plan to support rock5c (rk3588)?

Yes, if Radxa releases Android for those chipsets, rk3588s2, rk3582.
So far they have only released Linux.

Hi, thanks a lot for your work, can you send me the archive password please?

Sorry, I actually managed to delete the message with the pass in it without at leas copying it, can you send it again.

Please send the password for Android image,thanks a lot!

hi, I bought aw-xb547nf from a local store, it is based on rtl8852be, Wi-Fi works, but bluetooth does not. When you switch the toggle switch in the settings, nothing happens. new devices are not detected. Some diagnostics from neighboring Armbian.

Hi,

I really enjoy using the rock5 as ATV, but my stupid TV ((samsung 6 series 40 - it came with the flat) keeping turning off it every time, when I turn off the TV. Do you have any suggestion, how to prevent that?
Under Inputs/HDMI control is turn on (I use the TV remote to control the ATV), but I can’t see an option to use the remote BUT not turn the device off when TV turned off.
