Downloaded the image from the official download site and the tool could not flash the device (wrong hardware) but found on reddit somebody with the same problem and he published the link to a new version he got from support. This one did flash and android came up but
- default is portrait and the settings for the video does not have an option to rotate the screen to landscape. It rotates for certain applications like playing video.
- in landscape the screen is not filled up but there is a black band around the bezel of the TV and the screen that is displayed (and it can only made bigger and not smaller)
- 4K was detected but there is no difference between 4K and 1K with the same problem as above
- there must be a problem with the DPI settings as when loading the PIA first screen to log in, the login button is displayed but it is not possible to proceed (and press the button) - this happens with different applications)
- sometimes lost video connection and the only way to regain the video is by rebooting.
- the application fast band on the bottom cannot be made translucent not transparent and cannot be hidden
- not sure if the control via the HDMI is implemented (for sure not configurable)
those are the immediate visible problems but it does play video streams correctly (except for the size of the screen) and streams music correctly. I am comparing this build with a build based on an odroid M1 where those problems are not there once the emmc is flashed. For the M1 I use the official android release by Hard Kernel.
I am happy to debug together with the dev team and others the different problems in order to have a more complete version of android (if possible newer than v12) where those problems are addressed and solved
