R-Pi 4 Android OS not in list to install (work around?)

Open megaEXEcutioner opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hello,

I have an app on my android (PlusMinus) That controls my RGB Light bulb. They do not want to cooperate with IFTTT or are open source. I want to install android on my R-Pi 4 to automate that light from there.

I cannot find any android OS in the list from Berryboot. Is there any way to find it or import it? I also wanted Raspbian Buster along with Retro pie, etc, so I thought Berryboot would be a good option.

If there is another way to go about this I am open. I am super new to R-Pi and android topics for R-Pi-4 haven't been talked about in more than 6 months to a year. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you

There is an OS for Android 9 called LineageOS version 16.0 for the Raspberry Pi 4 B. I am following a tutorial from this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSgf_-EwfrQ . If I download the OS, could I just add it to the list via USB for something?

Retropie is also missing... berryboot used to be good, now it´s practically useless with only a few options... such a shame
