Android Oreo: Get The Latest Version of Android For Your ODROID-XU4

ODROID Forum user voodik has been porting Android 8.1 (based on LineageOS 15.1) for ODROID-XU4 since last October. He recently released the first alpha version for community debugging.

What works

  • Hardware-accelerated GPU driver for 3D rendering
  • Hardware-accelerated VPG driver for video playing
  • Ethernet
  • GPS receiver
  • USB sound card
  • WiFi (including AP mode)
  • Bluetooth Source mode
  • Navigation bar
  • Antutu benchmark score looks great

Known issues

  • Bluetooth Sink mode
  • Some problems with Play Store: When downloading the app, you may get stuck with a “Download Pending” message. Just kill the Play Store in recent apps and open it again
  • Not all ODROID-specific features are ported at this point, such as using the mouse wheel to zoom. These are currently works in progress.
