Does anybody know, how to access Gpio from Androif API? I need two serial ports, but can't don't know how to see them from Kitkat.

Hello everyone, I tried to install the new version of h3droid on orangepi pc, but every time I tried it, it was just a full color screen. I tried with old versions (1.3.3, 1.3.2 and 1.2.9) too, but they gave the same bug, I changed the memory card, but I could not make it work

I use ubuntu 18 to burn the image
I change the device in 00_conf and run the script
sudo bash 10_init_new_card.sh

am I doing something wrong at the installation?

Forgive my English (google translate)

I think it is not possible, I read faq from h3droid and there it says that it is not yet officially supported

That's sad. Hope they'll get to portrait orientation at some point. Even without rotation - that should be fine.

in my experiments i have managed to rotate screen in a few ways, but results were far from perfect. ie. it was 1280x1024 rotated and fit into 1024x1024. still, maybe i will find the magic piece of code that will do what is needed

Thank you for the efforts and great development, H3Droid Team!

Recently I saw that there are official Android 7 builds for OrangePi, e.g. for the OPi PC as mentioned here.

It seems that this includes also GPU drivers as Kodi 17 and Youtube apps seem to play videos smooth, hence I guess they work with hardware decoding.
It also seems to work nicely with 4K resolution at 30Hz via HDMI.

Do you plan on building a version of H3Droid with Android 7 support? And what about 4K resolution - do you plan on supporting it? Is 30Hz the highest possible refresh rate at this resolution for the Mali 400 MP2?

Thank you in advance!
Keep up the great work!
