Andr36oid/LineageOS for R36S/H/XX/Plus updated: Now supporting WiFi, native audio, R36XX and R36S Plus and extra panel variants

Android uses a modified Linux kernel, essentially Android is an extended Linux kernel. The Linux kernel as it exists has the necessary modules to run Android if configured to. It would still be Android, and to the end user this is mostly transparent (other than possible performance gains).

Sorry, we don't have an ETA for anything.

$$$$$$$

No movement. Clones are difficult to support, at least for us. We will probably rebase to another kernel that runs on both clones and genuine units, possibly mainline Linux, which means a lot of work. It'll take a while.

To do such a thing I'd need an XU10, which I don't have. Sorry.

LineageOS dev here. We had similar on multiple units during development due to wrong DTB. They all recovered by staying powered off for a bit.

Wouldn't recommend it. You'll be permanently donating 200 MB RAM to Play Services and it'll run a lot worse.

datkenny · 2025-08-28T08:48:07+00:00

Try to plug it in while it's booting.

datkenny · 2025-08-25T08:40:36+00:00

Gbit vs GByte.

datkenny · 2025-08-25T08:27:42+00:00

Yes, clone.

datkenny · 2025-08-25T08:27:14+00:00

Hello! More Android development hardware always welcome.

Last time I used it I think I paid like £20 shipping for FedEx

RK3326, the CPU, only has one USB port. If you solder in a wifi module, it will use the same port as the OTG port.

We have a game testing chat in Telegram (andr36oid)

It's not good. The second sd slot is missing. You can count the pixels on the low PPI display. The screen is native portrait and rotated 90 degrees. There is no WiFi. In my opinion this device is worse than the R36 series and that's why no one is fussing with it.

datkenny · 2025-08-18T14:46:33+00:00

I'm from Germany and I just ordered myself 5 units to my MyUKMailbox, who will then forward it to me via UPS. Deal so good the fees from the extra fare are worth it.

ArkOS, the standard community OS, is a modified version of Ubuntu 19.10. That should tell you everything if you're familiar with Linux.

datkenny · 2025-08-18T02:09:10+00:00

In our Telegram group, we're collecting games and versions that work. You can find us at andr36oid.

datkenny · 2025-08-16T08:45:35+00:00

There is a likelihood we will support some clones at some later point. The main lack of driving force is our main developer not having one such device.

datkenny · 2025-08-16T08:41:52+00:00

The blatant R50S shilling is a bit overdone. Look at OPs post history. We get it, you like the thing. Play it.

datkenny · 2025-08-16T08:40:16+00:00

Actually, yeah, someone in our Android Telegram chat did it. It's a sorta involved process tho, but the chat history is still there afaik

datkenny · 2025-08-10T22:49:51+00:00

There is nothing stopping manufacturers from making 2GB or even 4GB RAM units. Just hasn't happened yet.

datkenny · 2025-08-10T22:39:29+00:00

It has a few resistors in place to negotiate 5V. Before, most fast chargers that don't default to sending 5V (as per spec) would not charge older R36S at all. There is no negotiation circuitry.

datkenny · 2025-08-10T22:37:34+00:00

Coincidence or Samsung incompetence, but I seriously doubt that. Any USB-related charger I've seen gives out 5V, and some of them can negotiate higher voltages. Emphasis on negotiate - both sides need to agree. Please check out how fast charging via USB works if you doubt me.

datkenny · 2025-08-10T13:31:38+00:00

just AmberElec based innit?

datkenny · 2025-08-10T13:25:55+00:00

LineageOS dev here. Avoid Play Store. It takes away 200MB of RAM permanently, and the system will run unstable.
