Your RAM amount ?
8GB and this machine is standalone linux machine not a virtual machine.

I also have a problems when using 8GB RAM, so i updated my PC RAM.
Google this error you can find a lot of solutions, you need to try which one can help you.
Or add more RAM

Is there anything I can do to enable Bluetooth headset controls? Using the headset's controls when connected to a Pixel running Oreo works fine, but using the controls connected to the ODROID does nothing for me. Audio output works as expected though.

Just tried to get back to this project after I saw that you added the reverse touch screen. I changed the reverse touch screen option in the /system/build.prop and it seems to hose the system... It won't boot with that flag turned to true, I am reinstall it at the moment as its not ping-able either.

Any ideas, did I do something wrong or miss a step?

adb pull /system/build.prop
changed the flag
remounted /system as rw
adb push build.prop /system
remount /system ro
restarted
hosed....

also is there a way to take the touch screen out of mouse mode and put it into touch mode?

Just pulled, edited and pushed back build.prop whithout any issue.
Please try to edit with other text editor. e.g. Notepad++

To use your touch screen in non mouse mode, just rename /system/usr/idc/Vendor_04DD_Product_9570.idc file according your touch VID/PID

Does anyone in here have this to boot on USB HDD? Or does anyone know how I would go about having on USB HDD? Even with a top speed SD card it is barely usable and at the minute I am not planning on buying an eMMC module just yet. I have Linux (OGST & Ubuntu) on HDD's and they run amazingly well with a USB3.0 HDD dock.

Help please. Running a Sunfounder 10.1 touch screen and I want to rotate the screen 90 degrees (Portrait). I tried the utility included in the image, but it always boots in landscape (and the setting in the utility is back to "0" rotation, instead of 90), also play store apps can not force the screen to portrait.

I updated just now, to "alpha-1.8.15.04.18/update.zip" rebooted, changed rotation to 90, and it still does not save or rotate.

SOLVED - Installed the SD2EMMC image, went straight to utility and selected 270 rotation, reboot, perfect. (Most likely original problem was my playing with rotation apps).

Thanks

Thank you for this wonderful android build for the XU3-4's.
I've been playing with it for awhile and it is rock solid for what I use it for (mostly kodi, retroarch, and some android gaming).

I'm having trouble with some apps (netflix for one) seeing the rooting method (Lineage's own rooting solution) would it be possible to use Magisk Mask
with this system so apps cannot see root?

It's easy enough to install on a modifiable phone but I'm not sure what the steps would be for this system and if the LineageOS rooting method
would have to be removed first (and then removing root permissions I might need to install Magisk in the first place).

Also if its easy to install it and I'm just missing it, anyone have a link to a guide that works for a system without TWRP?

I believe I tried the FlashFire method but I don't remember if I did, and I'm not even sure I should have with the Lineage root method already installed.

The war on root is getting kinda ugly and if you have root you really need a way to hide that fact nowadays.

Would you be willing to consider switching the root method used on these builds to Magisk if it works well on this system?

It also has some really useful modules installable through it like Xposed Framework (among others) even though I'm not sure how well all the modules work on LineageOS.

Hey guys, I have a bug with 14.1 or maybe a limit.

I bought a 8 USB port HUB.
Firstly, my USB DAC doesn't work on hub, only directly.
Same with USB touchscreen
Same with (not really sure) my GPS module
WIfi, bluetooth, cheap sound card, webcam, radio module OK in the hub

But, for exemple, when I plug cheap sound card, I'm loosing Wifi, even after reboot and unplug sound card. I need to physically change USB port with some stability problem after, resolved only with new Lineage install.

Some questions :
Is the direct plug for some device is a known limit ?
My USB hub is a cheap hub but it's only wires no ? It work or not, it can't come from that ?
Is it a bug ?

I precise that my Hub is alimented and Odroid + touchscreen + hub are plugged on a 10A adapteur for testing and mesured around 12W with all plugged

Thanks

EDIT : I willl try with 15.1 if a have time

Is your hub externally powered? 8 ports are quite a few, the hub might not be providing enough power to connected devices.

juanitomaille · Post by **juanitomaille** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 4:37 pm

Yes, I anticiped that and power it with 10A 5V source, I think the original one was 2A.

Maybe the problem is internal with power limitation by electronic to not exceed 2A ?

Which is illogical is that also devices plugged directly to XU4 have problem (when many other are plugged)
In USB standard,the power is distributed regardless of how they are plugged (hub or directly)?

I will measure amperage and buy a second alimented hub...
Which is crazy is current of each device : GPS 70mA, BLE dongle 30mA, Webcam 320mA....

Hi,
I'm having terrible trouble with the netflix - any version I was able to install (4.16 from netflix's website or AndroidTV 5.2.0) is showing me "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. (-1009)."
The internet is working fine for other uses - chrome, youtube. I've tried to disconnect ethernet cable and use just wifi dongle, but it's the sam. I'm using the latest version, but with loboris's multi boot solution.

Your using a version of the Netflix app that was before it could check for the presence of root and refuse to run?

If that is the case sounds like they updated the Netflix service so that old version no longer works.

I don't know if there is anything else that stops Netflix from running besides the root built into these builds.

I'd like to figure out how to remove the Lineage root system packed into these builds by default and put Magisk Mask in here for its ability to hide root from apps.

That requires more then I know about Android images.

Well, latest news I've heard were stating that you can't find the Netflix on Google Store, if the device is rooted. I've found the apk on the 3rd party website and managed to install it successfully. The app runs and tries to load the service, but end up with the error above.

mad-murdock · Post by **mad-murdock** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 5:15 am

My xu4 just died. I had the issue again where videos (both youtube and twitch) wont start playing. I am used to that by now.

So as usual I restarted my odroid and... No picture. From how fan behaves it seems to boot a kernel, but I never see any boot animation or anything.

Downloading sd2emmc self installer now, doing a clean install and hoping this will fix it.

Anyone else had something similar before?

You _should_ be able to get netflix running in SD mode. I had that before. But you will not - in any way - get netflix working HD, since netflix requires a DRM certification - widevine level 1 or similar - and without said DRM certification it will only play SD. There is no known way around this. Just to give you an idea of the complexity: When OnePlus forgot to add widevine to its 5t phone, everyone who wanted it afterwards was forced to send in his phone to oneplus and got a completely new software. Each devices has to be certified on its own. It was not possible to deliver that crap just with a software update.

Of course, open source software never is DRM certified.
Hope that helps - even though its not a nice answer.

Oh yes, to get SD playback running be sure to get the netflix .apk from a trusted site. Be sure its a trusted site or you might run into security issues.

This is no longer the case, you can play Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in HD through Kodi plug-ins and the inputstream interface. I don't know if it will work under Android currently.

Not certified but going through DRM by way of Chrome OS widevine.

Interesting. Well, Kodi always finds its ways. But good to hear their DRM is... cracked?... broken?... more open to open source now? Thanks for that info.

Well, its the HD part is cracked. I am pretty sure it is not in netflix' interest that watching HD in KODi is possible.

Sure you need a login. Without hacking the netflix server I do not see any way to access their content for free. But if HD is working thanks to KODi on all android devices, thats quiet the achievment.

-----

Something else. How does one do a backup - possibly just of /data. As far as I see it, both /system/ and /data/ are on the same partition and are bind mounted to the correct places.
For me the system got corrupted and I had to start over. If I had a nandroid backup, I would have just restored /data/ after freshly installing the OS.
Is there something similar like a nandroid of just /data/ which I can do on this ROM? Just quick looking I did not find an obvious folder which contained /data/

mad-murdock · Post by **mad-murdock** » Fri Jun 29, 2018 3:33 am

Hi @voodik,

I had to install my XU4 with this ROM from scratch. With fresh ROM, only installed twitch, youtube and a live wallpaper (no root before installing a logcat grabber), I again have the issue of video files stopping to play. This usually happens when Twitch runs from last night until next night, I come home, and it is frozen. In this state, youtube behaves the same - not starting playback anymore, only displaying the first frame of the video.

I attached a log file of the system in already broken state, trying to play 2 videos with twitch and 2 videos with youtube.

Please tell me if you need a log - including required debug level - of a whole night until the hickup happens. Might take some days to record that, but video playback breaks pretty consistently, so I think I can get that log file. A non-verbose debug level might help keeping the file readable. Maybe warn and above?

Then again, maybe you already locate the error in attached logcat. If you need anything else, please let me know. I have this issue since 1.4 - but since my installation was all but clean back then, I really didnt want to report anything.

Edit: I am not trained well in analyzing log files, since I usally am more a SystemUI guy, but I would bet it starts here - happens exactly 2 times in twitch, 2 times in youtube - exactly how my test case was:

Code: Select all

Install twitch, tune to a channel that is running 24 hours - I suggest https://www.twitch.tv/twitchpresents - Then give it a day to run.

It is not guaranteed to crash in 24 hours, sometimes it is still going, but I would think you have at least 75% chance it crashes during 24 hour period. Once the crash has occured, you cannot start any videos anymore - neither on twitch nor on youtube.

In other words: It sucks and is really shitty to reproduce - especially a fast, reliable way is not possible.

I'm facing an odd problem and could use some pointers from anyone willing to look at my boot log.

Following the steps on the first page of this thread, I previously had Android running on my Odroid XU4. It was working quite well, rendering the surveillance cameras around my home onto a wall mounted monitor. Then one day it would not boot... or to put it more accurately, it attempted to boot but the monitor never turned on. I figured I just tinkered with it too much so I re-imaged the sd card. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts and multiple Odroids, it gets stuck into a boot loop after it initializes the disk on the first boot up.

I'm using Etcher to write this image:
https://oph.mdrjr.net/voodik/5422/ODROI ... 15.img.zip

I'm using a Transcend USB 3 sd card writer and have tried various 32GB and 64GB Samsung EVO sd cards.

During the first boot, it appears to set up the filesystems on the disk correctly. Once setup is complete, it reboots itself when it tries to start the log-reinit service. e.g.

Code: Select all

[   16.194010] [c6] init: Starting service 'logd-reinit'...

There are some other errors and warnings during the boot process but I don't know if any of these contribute to the problem or not:

After much testing, the problem turned out to be the on/off power switch I was using for convenience:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ODROID-ON-Off- ... m570.l1313

It must have been causing a enough voltage drop when the Odroid was under load to trigger a reboot.
After I removed it, the Odroid would boot up just fine. Just to be sure this was not a fluke, I reattached the power switch, and sure enough the Odroid immediately went into a boot loop.

I didn't find a lot of good board, but Odroid XU4 with this Lineage rom seems to be a good solution (I'm also testing raspberry pi avec Emteria and Tinker board).

Is it stable enough to be used for this type of work ? (Work 18h/24h 7d/7d)

Wrong topic,

Android: Utility app moved to Settings> Odroid Settings

Oh! Thank you, I never realized that, and it worked, no more stuttering

Hi guys,

I'm facing with a weird problem, the Odroid XU4 doesn't shows light grays on the screen. For example I've got a website with #eeeeee coloured buttons, and these are appearing as buttons with white background. When I open this gray tones scale, the first row's last two and the second row's first two elements all are whites:

I've tried to make screenshots, but it looks normal when not viewing on the Odroid. I've tested this on a fresh install of the newest version (Alpha-1.9_02.07.18). It shows the grays without problems on the LineageOS 15.1 version with the same screen and settings.

UPDATE:
Everything's fine after commenting out this line in build.prop:
persist.hdmi.color_range=1

Hello voodik,

Is it possible to support the OpenUPS2 in Android?
Battery percent display?

Hello Voodik,

I had to change a flag on android source code because I need that apps have access to external devices without the need of answer the pop up after every reboot.

But now I have not been able to correctly generate an selfinstall sd2emmc img.

I already tried this project - https://github.com/codewalkerster/xu4_installer.

Can you tel me how I do this or other alternative?

Thanks

I'm currently searching for a good android Box at least 7.1 for industrial purposes (Kiosk, digital signage...)

I didn't find a lot of good board, but Odroid XU4 with this Lineage rom seems to be a good solution (I'm also testing raspberry pi avec Emteria and Tinker board).

Is it stable enough to be used for this type of work ? (Work 18h/24h 7d/7d)

Thanks a lot for the build !

This board is super stable. It is running 24/7 at my place for about a year.

For me, there seems to be a slight software bug, hanging away video playback every now and then. But afaik and as far as I read the comments, it does not seem to involve anyone else.
Did you consider a full linux, too? If you are looking for industrial purposes, an ubuntu or any other full-featured linux might be even more interesting for you.

Didn't see your post until mad-murdock replied.

I've used the Odroid-XU4 and the Ocdroid-HC1 (the XU4's cousin) with great success. It seems Hard Kernel read my mind and built exactly what I was looking for.

Depending on your application, either voodik's Android images or Armbian, a Debain based linux distro, work quite well. While I did have a power issue with an inline mechanical switch, I've had no issues with stability of either os.
