Flashing TV OS? - Android TV General

Hey folks i have Hisense 55A63H tv. It came with Vidaa OS, and most apps that i need are for Android TV's. Its A6H series and has ARM based CPU, so technically it should work with android tv...
Any pointers, threads tutorials?

Android TV Stick Development

XBMC will soon be the driving force for people looking to purchase Android TV devices. The Android TV community however, is seriously lacking in the ROM department for Android TV sticks and set top boxes. If you're a reputable developer and interested in getting involved in this new, exciting and soon to be huge community which is the Android TV community here at XDA, get with me and I'll make sure you get the hardware and information you need.
Cheers!
Can elobrate more.
Hope to help.

Basically I'm trying to get a team together of people experienced in Android TV Sticks so that we can make proper documentation and perhaps create better ROM firmware files for them. I have many resources and hardware to share. Just get in touch at my site.

What you need to get proper development on these is some proper kernel sources for Rockchip processors... The RK3066 "sources" are incomplete, and use "blobbed" .o files rather than including the c sources for some parts.
While I've been working on CM10 with some another guy, this is a fairly big nuisance.
The MTD driver is blobbed, and very badly broken... Needing lots of workarounds to just make it work.
There's limitations to what is possible, but some decent kernel sources would be the first thing. The actual building and booting of the kernels is less of an issue now we've got that figured out.

About Console OS for MOJO

hey guys , i've heard about this project console OS ,
add kickstarter host to the start of this or google it -> /projects/mmv/console-os-dual-boot-android-remastered-for-the-pc
is kickstarter founded and is trying to bring an Desktop experience for android devices X86 and ARM , so i think i would be awesome to have it on MOJO , also it would be android kitkat, the devices they are going to work with depend vote of people so if you are interested we can apply for a 10$ fund to get our MOJO with and awesome android version
what do yo think ?
Mojo is not x86 so no won't happen

Not sure I follow why you would want it on the MOJO, but I did back it several weeks ago when it was around 25k, so I am looking forward to seeing what Console OS will do, specifically for getting Android on windows desktops. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

This is convergence in full effect!
Good post, I wasn't aware of this.
Basically it's a vendor port of Android to some laptops/Tablets.
"We have to build Android for one device at a time"
Limited HW target builds, so it's not like windows/linux, install on anything... but like a mobile custom build.
There's a lot of cheap android netbooks on ebay already... basically cheap phone HW.
"....We're taking the next step, and bringing Android back to the desktop." of cause! lol
This is mainly targeting tablets though, switching between windows and android.
PC support, sounds secondary (too many drivers to rebuild.. thus the voting).
Android, has a small footprint (like winXP) and runs in emulation on a PC just fine.
Not sure why you would want ConsoleOS on mojo... it's already android?

yeah is android almost pure only with a custom windows manager and launcher
read this part
WindowFlinger – A true window manager for Android – run Android apps in windows (Console OS will run two apps side-by-side without Pro)
InstaSwitch – Building a new hypervisor to instantly toggle between native Android and native Windows
Console Remote Access -> Remotely access your Console OS device from any old Android
Additional codecs and media playback support
Native DVR support (planned ATSC, DVB, QAM/CableCARD, & DTCP-IP)
Built-in media serving (UPnP and DLNA)
Console Files – A new file manager we’re building in to the desktop
Console Maps Pro – Premium Maps with Enhanced Turn-by-Turn
also its Kit Kat
also you allow you switch instanly form one SO to other in x86 is with Windows or Ubuntu ,if they do a ARM version is posible to have Ubuntu and Android
acording to the FAQ
What about dual-booting with Ubuntu?
It's our goal to do so - but we had to limit our feature list to the bare minimum that we can shoot for with our initial goal of $50,000 to raise. We actually dual-boot with Ubuntu in the lab, routinely, so it's a matter of when, not if.
As to other flavors of Linux, it'll be based on demand but once we support Ubuntu, most Debian-based flavors should fall into order.
Anyway they dont have a ARM version

Android nexus Tv

I did not understand what is the new nexus tv.
is this tv only android 5.0 or is something about hardware?
in my opinion if android tv is only the new Android's version, so i think that all minipc that could be updated to 5.0, they will be android tv..
is rk3288 compatible with android 5.0?
Sorry for my english.

Android TV Development for Raspberry PI 2

I am currently starting development on Android TV for the Raspberry PI.
Not actual Android TV, but an android OS with all possibilities like Android TV.
The main reason for this project is that the most of the TVs that have HDMI have no support for the Android TV. With this you can get that experience without buying a new TV.
If you know any project like this, or have heard of someone starting a similar project, please inform me in this Thread.
And also would you like to see something like this for the raspberry PI? If you have any questions or suggestions, please write.
We are searching for developers, so please if you are interested please PM-me.
The project will be open source!
Hi, I was curious to know if this is still an active project?

If someone was able to port an Android based ROM over, it would be pretty easy seeing as you would only need to port apks and stuff at that point....
The reason for me being here is: Amazon prime instant video isn´t working any more @ Kodi/XBMC etc. and it is unsure if it will be working ever again... (According to lordk @ kodinerds)
So the best solution will be using the app @ Android and i think there will be more raspberry pi2 user changing over to android.
Respect!!
If you need a tester, i´m ready for it.

Whoa! Nice idea! Here are some threads which I guess can help You out:
Cyanogen 12.1 test builds for Raspi2
DevBerryPi
PiCast
Hope these help in some way.
Would love you for this?
There is a kind lollipop running. http://raspex.exton.se/?p=43
FWIW the marshmallow AOSP build from peyo works, and has GPU accel mostly working I believe. Other info here. Every other build I have found seems to be based off his and a handful of other peoples work.
I just tried a few forks of Android x86 on my RasPi 2 and all of them lagged like hell...
I would be very interested in Android TV on my RasPi 2, if it works without laggs.

Considering that RasPi's are all either ARMv6 or ARMv7 class cores, I very much doubt you tried any X86 Android ports on your Pi2.
Found the android google group and appareantly there are some folks that got GPU accleration working with android 6.0 on the pi 2, check out the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCfdvZSOGuw
Oh i so hope someone will get this done...
I'm looking for a working youtube TV (like it should, not the addon in Kodi) so i can use the youtube app directly, not via Yatse..
Also would like to play around with android on my pi2..

Would be nice if they also supported the Pi2. Looks like it's mostly Pi3 there
Thanks!!!
Hello, I need some help!
I have a raspberry pi 3 model, with the raspbian OS installed, and i'm trying to make GUI menu with some buttons, and when i click it will start applications installed on the raspbian, like Kodi, Libre Office and others or a page browser.
But the problem is that I can't make it. I already tried the Glade and the Python but that doesn't allow me to do what I really want.
Does anyone know such a program?
Thanks

Cheap Android Box Advice

Hello,
I want to experiment with Android as a desktop computer doubling as a streaming device. I understand there are many ways to go about this, but I think the most interesting (and cheapest) way to accomplish this would be to repurpose one of the many unofficial Android TV boxes found on ebay and Amazon. My reasoning for this is that they can generally be flashed with a different ROM quite easily. This is important because I don't trust them out of the box, and want to know they are running a clean ROM. They also use regular Android as opposed to Android TV. In a surprising twist, I actually want regular Android for this project, not Android TV.
I am aware that some apps won't work and that I probably won't have access to the Play Store. I'm ok with this because I use a degoogled Android phone and know how to get by without it. I also understand that there are other solutions. I'm not opposed to considering alternatives, but this project is really just for the fun and potential challenge.
Here are my problems:
Many of these cheap boxes lie about their specs, i.e. they claim to have 4gb of RAM when they only have 2gb of RAM.
All of the Android streaming devices consistently recommended run Android TV. I want to use the regular Android found on a phone or tablet, as close to AOSP as possible.
I have found only one ROM provider for these Android boxes that isn't based on Android TV. SlimboxTV is exactly what I want, but it's not open source and I have some concerns over the fact that it's developed in Russia.
So here are my questions:
Can you recommend me a decent cheap Android box? I would prefer 4gb of RAM but understand that may not exist. 1080p is fine if 4k isn't an option. I don't really care about other specs.
Are there any other ROMs out there that are based on regular Android and not Android TV? If not, is SlimboxTV safe to use? I have found surprisingly little information about this considering it has a presence on XDA.
If this isn't the right place to ask this question, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help!
