many thanks for it! supersu works. another question. is there a chance to use a usb-gps-mouse in android? didā€™t find any information in google about it ā€¦

I get Launcher3 keeps stopping error after upgrading to this. The only option available to me is close app. Please help.

So Android is still suffering from bugs, i couldnā€™t use older Android builds with message ā€œsystem ui has stoppedā€, today i have tried to set up Kodi, i received a message ā€œKodi isnā€™t respondingā€, with close, wait and send feedback options to choose.

I couldnā€™t click on any of these options, this message was looping every few seconds, i had to reboot Vim to be able to control it.

I canā€™t believe you havenā€™t solved this, there is too much serious work for such a small team,

I do believe the only option to make use of Vim, is to install Libreelec for S905x devices, at least it will be usable as media center.

I donā€™t see improvements, Android and Ubuntu arenā€™t getting better, they all suffer from day one bugs, nothing has changed by now.

I have successfully boot in libreelec. And between libreelec and khadas android, there is no competition. Khadas android is totally useless. I cant believe the time i spent figuring out what i did wrong. Khadas android have too many problem, its not even funny. You cant even use it for kodi reliably. For those want to try khadas android, if you have problem, know that its not you.

Is it possible to upgrade using Upgrade on Windows PC via SD burning card?

Tried multiple times. Screen only shows VIM logo.

It can be upgraded with SD burning card. You can refer to Upgrade Via a Burnning TF Card
By the way, donā€™t connect VIM Type-C port with your host PC.
Thanks.

Ah so thats why. Gonna try that now.

Lesson learned. Unless you want to connect to pc using USB-C, dont power Khadas Vim by connecting to PC USB.

Hi,

It seems that the original Netflix APK (with every perms set on) does not work.

I get the loading screen, then black screen.
Tried uninstall, reinstall the APK, reset cache, reset perms, still doesnā€™t work.

Netflix worked fine on Marshmallow, do you have any information about that ?

By advance, thank you.

Which Netflix APK did you installed?

This one :

netflix works only on Vim_Nougat_Root_170421 on other nougat roms does not work black screen. i do not update the last rom for that reason. i already reported the problem in another thread.

@gianni : Thank you for your advice.
I will install that rom and wait for update.

@Gouwa : Thank you for this information, if you need any help for testing the fix, donā€™t hesitate to ask me :slight_smile:

Can you provide more details about the fix?
Because it is not SuperSU apk itself that is asked to be updated, it is the UNIX su binary.
Currently I spot su as /system/xbin/su but 2.82 is a, so called, ā€˜system-lessā€™ root and would want to place su binary (and other files) in sub-directories of of /su (like /su/bin /su/lib etcā€¦).
Question: Has anyone allowed SuperSU to update the su binary? If so, did it arrive in /su or /system?
I am hesitant to allow the update.
Note that SuperSU 2.82 works on V171028 without the requested su binary update, but ideally I would like to get rid of the warning and be sure to proceed with su binary update.
Thanks.

@Terry . thanks!
I went ahead and updated SuperSUā€™s UNIX su binary on 3in1 firmware.
FYI: the new su ended up in /system/xbin/ so it is not a ā€˜system-lessā€™ root.
Buy it works just fine!
