Android 13 For Raspberry Pi 4 Is GOOD! And Even Better with Play Store!

[@pdx2240]

The HDMI-CEC is a game-changer for me, so it can be controlled by a native tv-remote, and be used as a media-center. Just saw you scrolled pretty fast over that part :-) love your videos btw.

[@NovaspiritTech]

yes cec is awesome, i used to have it on my rpi2 with kodi

[@SilentDeviant-SD-]

This video save me on my current venture, I was doing everything to try to figure out how to get files to the same os, and 6:31 you gave me gold.

[@freezersharp]

I don't why but I tested all the images in the official site but my rpi4 doesn't boot correctly, stucks on an infinite loob and it never loads.

[@CMK-BigFoot-1420]

For those that don't have Gparted, you can get a live iso version and run it on an extra usb, or if you know how to you can probably use a virtual machine to do it

[@Microplastic_Therapy]

use Balena Etcher to flash the SD card if you are having trouble

[@AungusMacgyver]

Thanks for the guide! Helped me get set-up. Sadly the game I was setting it up for, Octopath Traveler, doesn't seem to work but I'm sure I'll figure out some other fun things to do with it.

[@ChrisShadowens]

Brilliant and easy to follow tutorial, Don! Only thing I had trouble with, my own fault, was I had unzipped the gapps file and stuck *that* on my USB rather than leaving it zipped, but that was quickly discovered and fixed. I might try using magix as there's an app that says it won't work which is the same error I get on a hacked Amazon tablet I have and if I can get it to work on the Pi4 I'm guessing that same trick will work on my tablet. Thanks so much for this, I was wondering what to do with my unused Pi4 (8GB) after migrating my Plex server to a small Win10 computer. This will make for some fun tinkering.

[@EinarKramer]

Thanks! Worked for me. It would annoy me a great deal if I had to buy a new android tv box. I have a Mibox Mini S that no longer gets security updates.

I'm so glad it comes without Google apps by default. I will never put the play store on my android pi.

[@ralphmcmahan2139]

Yeah, Android desktop is a little limited. No, it won't be my daily driver. Still it's impressive for a product Google doesn't really focus on.

[@holgerkirschbaum6911]

Great video tutorial. Unfortunately the HDMI sound is not working all the time, if I start YT it works for the first clip, the next one isn’t working. Wifi is for some reasons also not connecting (which isn’t a major problem for me as I can connect via Ethernet as well). Any ideas? Fyi, I’m using a RPi4/8GB with all Firmware updates, also the wifi chip is updated….

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

Excellent video, helped me a lot. Thanks :)

[@ReneKubicka]

This is really good material. Thank you for your work. Would you be so kind and could you demonstrate, whether webcam microphone works under Google Meet (Lineage OS 20 Android 13)? If a person calls someone from Google Meet on Android 13 / Lineage OS (Raspberry Pi 4), it is not possible to hear that person. I tried different Lineage releases, various webcams, various communication tools (Google Meet, Google Duo, Zoom, WhatsApp, ...). Always getting the same problem. Interesting is, that it is possible to record audio messages using webcam microphone on this setup. It looks like many people have problem like this, so It would help many. Thanks.

[@Holgidolgi]

Hi, thanks for the content. Did any of you add Netflix to your favorites? Because it is unsupported in the Google store. It's always annoying to start the app below

[@MegaManNeo]

I would be interested in seeing how well the Pi 4 performs with the Android TV version running.

[@th1nhhdk]

Android TV is closed source?

[@ggorg0]

I made an ATV box with a pi 4 before, but the performance was really bad. Hope it will improve now!

[@kolega1999]

@@th1nhhdk You can get Android TV version for pi from the same author who created the version in this video.

Great tutorial. Would it be the same steps for the Argon 1 M.2 case?

Is this still supported and a good build for a Pi 4 8gb in 2024? Looking for a new OS to spice things up on my old Pi

[@aiyuuuuu]

Indeed, it is!

[@jdunst69]

Like others said this does not work. everything did work till I got to the part where you said restart android. Now it's just stuck on a rainbow colored screen loop. Waste of my time doing all of it.

[@simtcr]

Every works, thank you. Can you suggest any remote (not phone remote) to control the android?

[@dinochan1]

Hi, did you find any remote ？

Love this vid. Do you know if its possible to install the unifi protect ap on the pi with the play store? I want to use it for live view on a monitor.

Hola, primero que nada gracias por el video y toda la explicacion, me fuunciona todo y tengo 2 preguntas. 1. Tengo Mac, con que otro soft puedo hacer el resize disk? 2. Como puedo sacar la depuracion de USB, hay aplicaciones que no arranan porque tengo que deshabilitarla y no la encuentro. Gracias!

Nothing populated in the Google Service Framework spot on Device ID for me.

Same, my first boot is successful but any other boots after I get the rainbow square and then a black screen and nothing else loads/boots.

Quick Question: Can I write apps using android studio or may be let's say react native and run it on RPI? If possible do some quick tutorial on that too.

[@hengkyrei]

thanks for the tutorial, at first facing issue with the output display where the raspberry boot up blank. but manage solve it. still not comfortable with the UI way, but better than do not have any self DIY android. which is more stable AOSP or Lineage OS for raspberry pi?

[@Kobraah]

how did you solve it ?

[@WeldonWen]

Device ID app from link not showing Google Service Framework. Got around it by installing Aurora Store first, then install Device ID from there.

Thanks, you're an saver

Help all good but on my raspberry pi I don't have audio? How do I activate the audio?

i use guitartapp Chord pro on my Tablet performing playing music live for weddings and birthdays.. guitar tapp pro is an android app . i want to set this up on my PI to project words from my tablet on to a tv via bluetooth.

I found a workaround. I was using a Mac mouse which works but the arrow is invisible so you can't see where you are clicking. I plugged in a tablet and the mouse arrow appeared so I can now use either.

[@WeldonWen]

Make sure you did not boot into it before expanding the partition. If you did, erase & format the sd card, rewrite the image, expand the storage partition, then put into your pi and boot it up.
