For now i thinking how to make Bluetooth and USB 3G to work.

Can you support emulated storage with self install image, when you release?

When are you planning to release M here? I am having issues with my USB3 HDMI capture device and was wondering to try it out on M.

Sorry but... how can i install or download to build from sources?
I found http://oph.mdrjr.net/voodik/5422/ODROID ... update.zip but i dont know if that is the version.

No it's not. As it says in the URL that it is cm12.1 not cm13.

I heard he had a hard time to solve the issue of huge size of system.img.
It makes delay of self-installation system probably.

Very great Christmas gift!
I just flashed this image to my XU4 with 64GB emmc and it wont boot. The fan spins for 5 sec and shutsdown.

When i look at the emmc in file exproler i see multiple image files like system.img, userdata_8.img, etc. In the past these would have been folders. Anything I am missing?

Post by **odroid** » Thu Dec 24, 2015 8:47 am

For eMMC users!
You need to flash the image into a SD card even you want to use the eMMC.
It will install the OS image from SD to eMMC at the first booting. It is a sort of "sd2emmc_installer" to update the boot-loader.

Uncompressed file size is 1,821,376,512 bytes.
It must be flashed into the SD card. Put the SD and eMMC into XU3/4 board together and select the boot media to SD card.
The installation process took about 10 minutes for 32GB eMMC.
If you use 64GB of eMMC, it takes longer due to the media formatting process.

In the installation process, the blue LED is solid on and the fan keeps running.
After installation, the system shutdown automatically.

Finally remove the SD card and change the boot mode to eMMC.
Otherwise it may keep installing the OS.

Time to enjoy Android 6.0.1

Just successfully installed this version of Android from the default Ubuntu version that was installed on my eMMC! So cool!

Is it normal for the Fan to turn on ever few minutes even if its sitting idle and and my TV is off?

Thanks!

alexfox · Post by **alexfox** » Fri Dec 25, 2015 10:55 pm

Installed CM-13 on eMMC-64Gb, everything works fine!
Voodik, thank you!

Could you please add: "the possibility of system shutdown without confirmation by long pressing power button"?
If so, is it possible to do that with a long press of the button, the system shutdown from normal mode and SLEEP mode?
I have the software Odroid switches to sleep mode, then the timeout full shutdown.

alexfox · Post by **alexfox** » Sat Dec 26, 2015 9:59 pm

Voodik, there's a problem:
When you first start the system does not automatically connect USB Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. If you go into wifi settings, then immediately there is a connection.
After a forced reboot - not connected Wi-Fi

UPD: OK, wi-fi was work, a little later than usual...

stmicro · Post by **stmicro** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 10:12 am

Great job!
I've played with this image in Christmas holiday. This image really works well on my XU4 with a 16GB eMMC.
The Antutu v6.0 shows ~63000pts. It is very close to the scores of the Google Nexus 6 and LG G4.

3D : 14550
UX : 20529
CPU: 23010
RAM: 4857

Thank you for your hard work.

Hi everybody,

I tested the SD to SD installer on my XU4 (my eMMC 64GB module was plugged).
The boot button was on SD position and I used a 32GB SD card : it does not work, the fan keep running (after 3 hours I stopped it

).
After that I notice that my Ubuntu system on the eMMC module was corrupted so I think that the SD installer wrote something on the eMMC module.

I used this image : android-cm-13.0-alpha-0.1-sd_installer-odroidxu3-20151224.img.7z

Is it normal ? Do you have any ideas where it comes from ?

PS1: do not worry for my Ubuntu system, I made some saves before

.
PS2: I also tested the SD to eMMC image and it worked for me, so this is very cool, thanks again for the job you are doing.

alexfox · Post by **alexfox** » Tue Dec 29, 2015 7:19 pm

Hi Voodik!
Have a question:
How to launch programs by keyboard shortcut, for example: "SEARCH+X" or "WIN+X"?
In CM-12 I have was made using the program "HW Key Quicksettings Launcher" or using the command: "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN-n com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings" in past versions.
In CM-13 all of these methods don't work...

The file name is correct.
But you should remove the eMMC module if you want to install the OS into the SD card.

Hi! Can you add basic build.prop editor to ROM?

Now we need Ethernet to download build.prop editor to set correct WiFi driver.

Edit: or maybe you could add utility app to make needed changes in build.prop. WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3g modem etc. ?

Hi,

The SD installer didn't work for me, either. eMMC installer worked and we were running Marshmallow for a few hours (watching Netflix) until it froze completely (screen was still on, but the system was dead).

valexi · Post by **valexi** » Sat Jan 02, 2016 3:34 am

Here is some bugs I found:
- WiFi does not autoconnect (as said before). When you open WiFi settings it will connect to network.
- USB hard drive cannot be accessed without root. CM will show the contents, but you cannot access it with file manager (without root) or Kodi. Drive formatted as exfat.

1. I will check it.
2. This is a new storage logic in marshmallow. External storage is only for media files transfer. I will try to make it adoptable.

This is a shame. I think it's a killer for Android media boxes...

Eamonn · Post by **Eamonn** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 11:57 pm

Well done Voodik!

You are a legend, and I cant wait to try this out. A few quick questions before I do:

1) Any idea on when we will be able to download the source code? I'd like to add the drivers for my touchscreen.
2) How are you getting on with the Bluetooth issue? To me it seems like this is a difficult issue to resolve.
3) Also its a huge longshot and would certainly be an incredible achievement if it was possible, but I'll ask anyhow: I know HFP wasn't available on Lollipop, but is there any chance that it might be available on Marshmallow? Routing calls is something a lot of people are struggling with. It seems to me that this would be a hugely beneficial addition to the Odroid family.

Keep up the great work, and Happy New Year!

Hi,
Thanks for you working on this

May I ask, is the USB serial driver for the CH34x chip included in this image?
This is the chip that most of the China cloned arduino use now days....
If not, could you please considder to include it in the next release?
(support in Lolipop and Marsmallow would be perfect)
.....
Never mind...I was able to compile and install a new kernel.
But would not hurt if you include it in the next releases....

Thanks,
Rick

From last week, Netflix started their business in Korea too.

So I joined and started to test the Netflix on Marshmallow today. I am using an wired Ethernet connection and it still works for over 3 hours.
But the video quality seems to be SD not HD.

Anyway, what internet connection did you use? WiFi? or Ethernet?
How was the blue LED on the XU4? Kept blinking?

You set the Netflix quality via the account settings on the Netflix site.

No but you can tell if you monitor the bandwidth.

While a Netflix video is paying you can for instance on Samsung tv's press the info button on the remote and it should show the resolution of that video.

No, this is a wrong way, because samsung remote info button shows hdmi resolusiton.

You're correct, I even tried playing an SD video in Kodi and it still shows 1080 resolution.

I don't think there's another way to tell. Perhaps you're noticing high compression ? how's your internet connection ?

Because of Netflix doesn't available in our country i can't check it. You can try measure traffic on your router.

Some ISP's throttle Netflix.

My 6 mbs DSL is very over-subscribed and can go as low as 1mbs at peak times and Netflix can look bad on my 40 inch Samsung. We're supposed to be getting fibre , I can't wait. I only have 250 Kbs upload !

Netflix probably lower the resolution to make it look a bit better. No point streaming 1080p on 1mbs when a lower resolution would mean they don't have to use as much compression because a lower resolution movie has far less information in the first place meaning a smaller amount of bandwidth needed.

They do lower the bitrate when your downstream bandwidth can't match the necessary rate for the stream. It's how I control the quality of Netflix, I have it set to maximum quality in my Netflix settings and use QOS on my router to control the quality on my end. Sometimes I don't want to waste bandwidth since it's not unlimited with my ISP.
