Further swiping down will reveal more quick settings. Of course, you can even enable a dark mode, which looks really cool. According to the developer, audio should work via HDMI, the 3. Talking about Bluetooth, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tethering also works and I was able to connect with my smartphone to my Raspberry Pi without effort.
The built-in file manager is very useful for managing all of your files in case you want to make Android 12 your daily driver on the Raspberry Pi. Please note that your Raspberry Pi needs to have at least 2GB of RAM to run this build, and you can only use it freely for personal or educational use, not for commercial use. How does it work now with a better Raspberry Pi and OS? Konstakang has created a custom image of LineageOS, an open-source version of Android, that can be installed on Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
In this tutorial, I will guide you through all of the steps with LineageOS, which is a good alternative to run Android on Raspberry Pi 4. Edit : I recently tested this Android version with a touch screen for Raspberry Pi I have this one from SunFounder to be precise , and it works very well. Android is designed for touch devices, so it makes sense :. LineageOS is a free and open source operating system , like most new systems I introduce on this website.
LineageOS was created in , and is a fork from CyanogenMod. LineageOS comes with a few basic applications browser, calendar, calculator, etc. If you are interested, you can get further information on their website.
However, there is an unofficial version available on this website for Raspberry Pi 4. There is also a version available for Raspberry Pi 3 if you use this model.
One good idea is to use it with a touch screen. This way you can get a real Android tablet for cheap. I will explain what to do with each file later. Start your Raspberry Pi. The first boot will take a bit longer, probably to configure everything.
Once done, you get a first wizard to finish the setup :. Choose your language, time zone and wireless connection. Then you can configure the other options as you want privacy, security, etc. Once done, the Android desktop shows up. Depending on your goal, you can start working with the basic apps browser, file browse, etc. It is best to connect a keyboard and mouse to your Raspberry Pi so you can navigate around in the home screen.
The first thing you want to do is connect your Android TV to the Internet. It will then scan for an existing Wifi network. Select your local network and connect to it. Once it is connected, you will need to identify the IP address of your network connection for sideloading apps.
You can continue to navigate around the different settings, but it is mostly empty for now. For this we will need to sideload an App store app so that you can start installing other apps.
In this instance Google Play store is not well supported in this Android TV build, so we will use Aptoide app store instead. Once the apk file is downloaded, go to Play Store and install the Apps2Fire app. Any other apps that can sideload to Kindle Fire will work as well.
Launch the Apps2Fire app. Select the Aptoide apk file that you downloaded earlier. You can now run the Aptoide app and start installing other apps. I do recommend installing Es File Explorer so that you can navigate the file system and install the apk file directly. I tried it with several games and TV apps, and some of them work fine, while others have graphic and display issues.

Damien Oh started writing tech articles since and has over 10 years of experience in the tech industry. I tried using App2Fire to install youtube apk on android tv Raspberry pi3. Message is installation failed. Upload successful. I have enabled debugging. I have enabled unknown sources. What am I doing wrong?
Did you do the original android version? Instructions worked well but I really need to get my mouse working. Now, click on the TWRP icon on the top-left corner, and it will take you to the main menu. And voila! You will boot directly into Android on your Raspberry Pi. And this time, you will be prompted with the Google setup.
Now, go ahead and follow the on-screen instructions to log into your Google account. I suggest you not to add your primary Google account as Google has been terminating accounts for unknown policy violations of late.
So here it is. Google Play Store and all the Google services are now installed on Raspberry Pi and working absolutely fine.
Now, open google. Now, wait for minutes, and the notification should be gone. This time, the error should be gone. But the good part is that it comes preloaded with Google services. So for more such interesting tutorials on Raspberry Pi, stay tuned with us. And if you want to use your Raspberry Pi to set up Pi-hole , we have a dedicated guide that provides the instructions from scratch.
