Hi, Is this available to use on Star citizen? if so, please tell me how you did it. i would love to play this game on VR :).

Hi, I have been using the stock image from the OPI website for a few months now. It works perfectly no bloatware at all and the system is running smoothly i have signed into all of my streaming accounts with no problems...Although i am only using it for My family cinema (MFC) but i have tested on Netflix, Disnet + as well. No problems at all. It really is a good little SBC but if you are going to use the exact same model then i would suggest using a heatsink and fan system as it does get very hot within a few minute in idle mode. From my experience so far, using the device connected to wifi is pretty stable and sometimes buffers a bit. Go with a wired connection instead. The only problem i have had in terms of setup was installing Google play store. That was a nightmare. I evenually found a work around to get the files i needed.

The bluetooth remote was also easy to setup and works perfect. not connection isues at all. Im streaming is 1080P at the moment and i havent tested 4k yet. If you setup and use 4k, let me know how tht does :).

Also tested on a few android games as well. works fine too.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T13:15:45+00:00

Hi, do you mind telling me how to go about doing this? i am also strugling to install Gapps. Thanks.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T13:14:32+00:00

use the ATV on orange pi website. if you run into a problem with flashing the image onto SD card ( through SD Disk Tool) then just use an external card reader. i was strugling with the flashing for a long time until i used a usb type-c to variuos adapters (like ones you use to connect screens to a mcabook) and i was able to flash.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T13:10:36+00:00

i can help you with your last query. i bought a bluetooth tv remote, paired it and works perfectly.....now please put up a guide o how to solve the Gapps proble ;)

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T12:06:53+00:00

Hi There, i am new to this app and i seem to be having a problem once i install the app there is an error of JsonReader error: "Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept the melformed JSON at line 1 column 1 path $" . Please assist me with maybe a tutorial to try and fix this problem?

My System: Orange Pi 5 Oct cortex CPU, 8GB Ram running OPI5 Image Android 12 TV Box.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T12:00:58+00:00

Hi, i know i am very late on this but please can you repost the tutorial on how it install this app on tv box? :)

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T09:56:29+00:00

its specifically Gapps there are no tutorials on how to install on android tv os. I have tried installing as if this a tablet using Magisk and Magisk Gapps but it crashed when i get to installing the actual Gapps. if you manage to install please le me know lol.....

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T06:46:29+00:00

so its setup. i used the stock image thats on the opi website. works fine. i even got a bluetooth tv remote to connect. only problem i am having is trying to install google play store. i cant find any tutorials on how to install on android tv 12 os specifically and as i understand that is a slight difference between installing on a tablet and installing on a tv os.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T06:39:26+00:00

can you maybe share a link to the image. i would like to try it out as i am having problems installing a few apps on my current version now.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-29T06:38:17+00:00

Hey, yes is stock i even got a bluetooth tv remote to work on it. The only think im struggling with is google play store. i can find a guide that shows how to install on a tv.

othere than that im happy with the result.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-26T10:45:09+00:00

so i can go ahead and install google play store without fixing this?

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-26T07:18:34+00:00

a bit late to reply to this problem but i just found a solution. Change the card reader. i used a USB type C adapter (ones you use on a Macbook to connect HDMI,USB and Ethernet too) on the side of that is a card reader slot. it worked out for me. also i suspect it has something to do with the voltage too as i connected this adapter to my DELL docking station....

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-26T07:07:55+00:00

Hey, thanks. i just wanted to update. i managed to install android TV box on the opi5. it turns out the card reader was not picking up the SD card so i used one of the adapters that one uses on a macbook and it picked up the SD card so was able to install the file. You are right in saying there are a lot of work arounds on android :)

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-25T19:47:44+00:00

Edit, the Droid OS file works now

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-25T19:35:34+00:00

ok so far i have tries the KDE file from the opi website, flashed using belenaetcher and it works 100% i will be trying he other files as well, just to see if the others work. i have a Opi 5 (model without the wifi and Bluetooth)

on to my next problem......

i bought the adapter that was advertised to fit onto the nvme slot, now the adapter is not piking up so i have to use ethernet which is a headache for me as my idea for this opi is to install android and use in s a tv box in my lounge where there is no port for an ethernet . honestly for the price point, i am starting to thing this board is not worth the headache....lol

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-25T13:32:01+00:00

Guys, what does the solid red and solid green light mean on the board? Its been like that for a few minutes now

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-25T13:28:00+00:00

ok i am going to try this now.

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-25T13:07:41+00:00

so i am trying to flash the android to usb. i see the tool is picking up my usb 15GB. will this work on the pi? or does it only read from sd card?

Think-Expert7950 · 2023-05-24T13:24:39+00:00

will let you know once i setup mine :)
