I feel like I'm trolling posting up on this so early. But I finally got Android booting on the Odroid GoS. I thought it would be a simple affair but I ran into bootloader issues, kernel issues, and screen initialization issues. Two of those I still need to fix before I can actually release a flashable image.

But Android looks good with the high resolution, videos look awesome, and the main thing I was looking for, steam link now actually displays correctly!!!!

I also still need to trim down my gapps package to reduce ram usage and boot times. But things are looking good so far. The list of working items is correct. Suspend and resume is working but it breaks USB, don't know if I'm going to disable that or not. I haven't found a workaround or patch for it yet.

Congratulations for all the hard work for you and your contribuitors!
Doesn't Android on sd card feel sluggish?

Not that I've found yet. I'm usually only doing one thing and have yet to see a bottleneck from the SD card except with boot times and a stock load out of gapps. Games and movies run without lag. There shouldn't be an issue if background processes and apps are limited. I ran out of ram and r/w's on the sd for the first time after installing gapps.

Are the sticks working correctly in Steamlink client?

Yes, also the new steam link app also lets you do remote desktop with very little lag, like little enough to watch a video and the audio is in sync on both... I'm super excited about that. I didn't get any joystick drifting issues either.

First post updated with a download link for a flashable image and also the individual files to flash manually if you prefer that method. The manual files are 1.5GB, 128mb, and about 20mb for the boot folder. The flashable image is 8GB.

One minor issue with this release is that the screen remains blank as it boots so you don't know when it's done booting. The first boot takes a full 4 minutes, boot times usually take a little over a minute after. Once the device boots you have to press the power button twice for the screen to display.

Let me know if you try it out and how it works for you. Hope you like it.

Edit: Forgot to mention gapps is added to this build. I added the "go" version of GMSCore so ram usage on it is low. I also removed a few apps that would come on a stock Android device to save ram.

Not sure if you tried or not but for suspend support in Linux I just use a hook to rmmod dwc2 and re-add it pre-suspend, post-suspend. On the BE ESP8089 is also compiled as a module and does a similar dance as well.

Android doesn't have that function. The Androidx86 project has a power driver for Android 10 that does what we want but the patch is going to take some work for 11. Mostly the ability for the power driver to unload modules and as a normal non-root function.

Ah yes, that would have been too easy I suppose!

This is awesome good work. I'm excited to get my Odroid Go Super to test it out. does it need to be formatted as exfat on sd card?

No, you can just download the etcher image and flash it. It will format the sd card for you. The only thing you may want to do after is resize the data partition to use all of the available space on your sd card.

So this is ONLY for the Odroid Go Advance Super (new device).

It will not work on OGA 1.0 or 1.1, right?

Correct, unfortunately. Since my images don't include a copy of the bootloader, I need to use a separate boot.ini between the two. I also had to increase the dpi, used higher resolution resources, and a higher resolution boot image.

I will do a oga 1.0 & 1.1 build soon, after I work out a few issues. This was posted for the OGA-S as I was working on adding it and had nothing released for it yet. Next release will be for all devices.

[zztfoxdev]

Awesome!

Take all the time you need, you guys have been working so much on this.

I'm looking forward to this. you can send me a PM if you want some help with kernel stuff, i've built a fair number of android images from source.
