I will upload a NAND image on Dropbox shortly. It is the first image so let me know your thoughts and I’ll take your feedback on board
As a NAND image this will remove OSMC from your device but you can reinstall at any time from the website

Just to check… you will post a dropbox link here when it is uploaded or am I supposed to be watching for an update somewhere else?
I’ve PMed you a Dropbox link. I’d prefer if you keep the build away from the forum now as it’s an early test build.
Cheers

thanks
Is it still only the build that install on the NAND that is available?
I´m in need of an Android device to play back videos from an app that I´m subscribing to (Payed end legal). I have the Vero 2, but I also need it for Kodi playback so the dual boot option would be the best solution.
Any updated eta on this?
Hi
I am currently on holiday.
We only have a NAND build at this time. When I return from holiday I will work on the SD version of Android. 3D MVC and performance improvements were in demand for the June update, so a significant amount of my time was spent working on this.
Sam
Thanks
Enjoy the rest of your holiday
Why don’t you make it work with Andoid on NAND and Linux on SD?
We can boot OSMC off of the SD card, but it requires a change to the kernel, which would make updates trickier.
If we can’t get an ideal solution to the Android SD booting, this is what we will do.
You can have two kernel images/packages. The right one (the installed one) will be updated by apt.
Yes, but then we’d also need two disk images to download, and two different build processes. This would create quite a complexity at the moment.
Dear Mr. Nazarko,
Is it possible for me to receive a download link for the Android version? Received my Vero2 and a bit dissapointed with OSMC. Not due to my lack of knowledge, but expected at least a dualboot system. In order to see if i miss out on Android on Vero, i would like to be able to benchmark both OS.
To be clear, nothing wrong with OSMC (besides May and June update causes stuttering in playback, so reverted to April which works just fine), just want to know if its worth the wait.
Thanks in advance!
I was talking about .deb packages. Having kernel-nand.deb and kernel-sd.deb means:
If your are talking about the testing process … well, you cannot test every combination of packages an user could use.
If you cannot make a single image that could differentiate between upgrade-the-nand and run-from-sd, in any way (like: different partition size, extra partition, etc), yes, you would need another image (and another debootstrap).
Not sure about the complexity, but at least is straightforward, compared with the process of debugging the Android/SD instability.
Not to mention that with Linux/SD you could switch/test different OSMC versions easier .
Unfortunately this isn’t the case.
You could potentially make the device package depend on (NAND || SD), but this starts to get really ugly, really fast.
The Android performance will be a lot slower than OSMC. The Android image isn’t being produced to run Kodi.
I can send you a NAND version, but @DBMandrake and I noticed it’s quite tricky to get back OSMC on the NAND with this version.
Sorry to hear about this, perhaps PM me a sample clip and I can take a look? I thought that stuttering was largely resolved now.
Didnt matter what clip / stream i used, eveything stuttered. What i could make of it, is that cache settings in Kodi are the culprit.
The Vero 2 i received came pre installed with April. Update through MyOsmc didnt work, so i manually ssh the updates to June. Stuttered right away, reverting solved it.
FYI, both installs use default out of the box OSMC settings. Nothing changed.
Unfortunately i was too lazy to log, but as i mentioned, caching seems to be the culprit.
As for being slower, my Android tablet runs kodi better at this point then the Vero 2: both streaming and scrolling through kodi.
If you are too lazy to log, I don’t know how you can have any certainty that this could be the case.
Also, that’s quite lazy if you can’t take 5 minutes to create a log demonstrating the issue and provide a link here. But who knows, maybe you just like to make paperweights of moderately priced technologies that others seem to have no issues using as designed.
Wasnt planning on posting here, hence no logging. Kodi kept giving cache errors and loop buffering, hence the cache conclusions. That simple.
My question was just for Android so i can compare it.
It wasnt negatively meant from my side, but when a device is 2x the horsepower then my tablet, but is slower in performance then i want to find out why. Especially when the tablet is packed with bloat. It could be faulty, but before making such a claim, shouldnt i try everything first, before making such assumptions?
Your assumptions therefore are abit misplaced, it is not a paperweight. But devices break down, are DOA. These things happen.
I think you misinterpreted my post. A bit of a shame, that out my post, the only part you reply to, is the logging part. I expected a more mature response.
Completely agree.
Just start a new thread and we will have a look. But this is the first we had heard of the matter, so we can’t look at problems we don’t know about.
