Lineage Android OS for the Jetson TX1

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google applications installed. Linked in the instructions is a package that has come from another Android project that restores the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific prebuilts for which source is not available.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Instructions:
Android TV
Tablet

Notes:

  • The Jetson TX1 is supported in the ‘foster’ Lineage builds.
  • The bootloader is the shield android tv bootloader minus the trusted os, which is now encrypted and cannot be used on unfused devices.
  • Inline updates work as expected, including updating the bootloader.

Nice! Thanks for your sharing to community!

Lineage 18.1 reached end of life and the last builds were run last week. As such, I have now shipped foster and foster_tab on Lineage 20.0. These builds will run later this week, Tonight and Friday respectively. There are unfortunately some known issues on 20, which is why I didn’t ship the newer versions until 18 hit EOL. ATV is currently broken on Android 14, so Lineage 21 isn’t feasible to ship until that is sorted out.

Known Issues:

  • Boot hangs for 30-45 seconds on all variants due to a ssl verification check.
  • Aosp Bluetooth auto-pair fails. This includes first boot when gapps are not installed and when pressing the pairing button (power button). In those cases, a wired controller or keyboard is required to pair a new bluetooth remote. If gapps are installed, auto-pair during the gapps setup wizard works as expected.
  • In some rare setups, wpa 2/3 mixed mode networks cannot be connected to by the gapps setup wizard. Most notably, this has been observed on openwrt routers. These networks can be connected to fine by the aosp wifi wizard. And skipping network connection is now possible in the recommended gapps package. Afterwards, tvsettings can be used to connect to the network.
  • Frame rate matching in kodi causes the app to hang more often than not. This issue is being looked into slowly by both the Lineage maintainer and some kodi devs, but no solution has been found yet. Other apps that support nvidia’s frame rate matching work as expected, such as smarttubenext.
