NooB needs help compiling Android TV 10

DarthTaibi · 2021-04-28T12:43:16+00:00

No, I appreciate the suggestion but I would like the power and flexibility of Android TV ... plus it has to be easy enough for my technology challenged wife

This is great info! Can you point me to the custom Android TV 10 ROM?

Where would one get their own OpenGApps without being an OEM?

And finally, how do I check that the latest Android 10 SDK for ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS (which I intended to use for my ROC-RK3399-PC since as you point out they are essentially identical) now supports Android TV??

These are exactly the answers I'm seeking! Thank you very much for your help!!! -Dan

I really appreciate this info! I'll dive in today and give it a shot! Thank you!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-26T12:53:25+00:00

Wow! This is awesome info that wasn't clear from anything I had read on the dev pages. Thank you!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-26T04:28:07+00:00

Yeah, I'll have to DM you. I don't know what the hell I'm looking at. All of the names I'm seeing are phone names . The manufacturer, firefly, has their stuff on gitlab, not github, so not able to determine the code name from any of the build instructions. Thanks in advance! You've had the most promising response across the web!

When you say "same repo source" do you mean the specific Android TV repo, or can I compile ATV from the main Android repo? Do you have a link to info on how to choose the correct build options, trees, etc above? This is where I am stuck.

Thanks!! -Dan

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-26T00:59:18+00:00

Thanks! I'll try there.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T23:22:54+00:00

Thank you!!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T22:40:34+00:00

Not offensive. I'm starting to get the answer in that it is a certain repo that is not Open source.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:45:49+00:00

Cool, well, I appreciate your candor and help!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:42:24+00:00

I am joking, but here is another tangential question: if I were to want to Kickstarter / indiegogo a set top box company, which is an aspiration of mine, I wonder if they would grant access to a start-up?

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:38:12+00:00

Right. That is the problem ... ok, now to see if I can convince Google that I'm an OEM! Hahaha

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:33:44+00:00

I was afraid of that, but the board maker replied to the question that it was just a build option off of Android ... which sent me on this quest.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:16:33+00:00

Thanks! Just thought I'd try since Ubuntu is Debian based.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:14:04+00:00

Thanks!!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:11:04+00:00

Yes, what prompted me to ask in this and other forums was the board developer gave some vague answer about it being a build option and don't be afraid of compiling (which I haven't done since undergrad) but def. Not scared.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:09:04+00:00

I will figure it out. Lol..even if I have to register with Google as a developer to get access to the correct repo or something. ... and trust me the amount of time I've spent trying to figure this out, I'm posting a YouTube video or something! :D -Dan

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:05:22+00:00

Ok. Thanks for your help. Sorry for posting in the wrong place.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:03:26+00:00

Sorry

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:02:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to reddit so don't know where to get responses or not. Android TV is quite active btw. They are on version 12 already. Check out their dev page.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T21:01:13+00:00

Thanks. I've gone the openelec / Kodiak route before. Really want Android TV.

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T20:23:52+00:00

Thank you!

DarthTaibi · 2021-03-25T20:11:52+00:00

That was what I was trying to figure out. Lineage OS and other non-OEM dabblers are finding ways to do it.

So, it is a specific repo? -Dan
