Android TV running on Raspberry Pi is not Officially Supported by Google..

..and so far there have been no Community Developed releases.

maybe Installing LineageOS 16 and Using Open Gapps 'tvstock' will work

I have tried installing Android TV on Raspberry Pi 3 B and it is working fine. But it is not working with Raspberry pi 4. I think there is a problem with Pi4 model. it is not working properly with any OS. it can work with NOOBS, but tat is also not consistent. many times the system gets hung.

The 4B hardware is a big departure from the 3B+ and earlier models.


Therefore just stating it works on your 3B is totally irrelevant to the OPs question.


The poster Konsta is probably the best developer of Android OS and worth following if you must have any variant of a Community released Android:

4. plug sdcard to raspberrypi and boot and setup
5. open Settings -> About tablet and Click ‘Build number’ 7 times to enable developer options

Has anyone tried Okaji's method yet?

I'm looking to build an Android TV box and need to decide between buying an rpi 3 or 4, since my old 2 won't be enough.
