Hi, I installed h3droid on to an Orange Pi one, but seemed to experience lots of slow down due to H3droid reading/writing to SD card, even when no apps were running the LED indicated SD card activity for 5 - 10 minutes after booting. I think this is caused by lack of RAM for Android to run and so it is having to use SD card as swap, So I decided Orange Pi one did not have enough RAM for my requirements so I am going to purchase an Orange Pi PC instead with 1GB memory and see if this is better with Android.

Are there any plans to support newer versions of Android on Orange Pi? As Android 4.4 is quite old now and I think soon some apps will require newer Android version to install.

1/ first boot always takes longer due to db initialization, odexes creation etc
2/ you didnt mention, but it's strongly discouraged to enable gapps/gms updates (even on 1gb/2gb boards), due to higher resources usage
3/ with proper app selection you can get smooth android even with 512M of ram (beware of things that run in background and/or access disk a lot)
4/ high 4k block random r/w sdcard is recommended (class a1/a2)
5/ h3droid based on nougat is in the works but put on hold due to technical problems (and lack of time/motivation)
6/ h3droid based on kitkat is quite usable, stable, slim and fast (just dont install everything and know what you are doing.
7/ one idea i havent tested yet is having /data partition on fast ssd. but again, lack of time.

Hello,kotcza.
YuryY wrote(post 280): Is it possible to turn on in the OS H3Droid resolution 720x480i?
Interestedin the same resolution 800x480i?
kotczawrote (post 281): 480i mode has id 0, so it might work in theory, cant test atthe moment. you would need to put into fex and build.prop, check what displaymode script in h3resc is doing
Ok! Boughta device orange PI Plus2E. Installed H3Droid version 1.3.4
Now I haveto set the resolution 800x480i. Such resolution is needed to create carPC.
My steps:
Step 1:switch uboot – orangepi_plus2e (point 15)
Step 2:switch fex – H3/orangepiplus2e.bin (point 13)
Step 3:display configuration – 800x480 (point 8). Will this step be correct?
Step 4:edit fex – debug_mode=0 Will this step be correct?
What othersteps do I need to take?
Could youdescribe in detail? Unfortunately, I do not know well linyx and android. I andmany more users would be very grateful for your help.
Withrespect!

i dont know what debug_mode is for, never touched it. as for custom resolutions, they need to be added to fex, kernel and android. so i've added a few and premade few presets in h3resc for them and they work for most people interested. hdmi has 480 preset (720x480), and i've added 800x480. try both? also, you only need to set them via h3resc menu, nothing else should be needed
