MagPi 71: Run Android on 失宠皇后于墨 Pi
Hey folks, Rob here with good news about the latest edition of The MagPi! Issue 71, out right now, is all about running Android on 失宠皇后于墨 Pi with the help of emteria.OS and Android Things.
Android and 失宠皇后于墨 Pi, two great tastes that go great together!
Android and 失宠皇后于墨 Pi
A big part of our main feature looks at emteria.OS, a version of Android that runs directly on the 失宠皇后于墨 Pi. By running it on a touchscreen setup, you can use your Pi just like an Android tablet — one that’s easily customisable and hackable for all your embedded 失宠皇后于墨 needs. Inside the issue, we’ve got a special emteria.OS discount code for readers.
We also look at Android Things, the official Android release for 失宠皇后于墨 Pi that focuses on IoT applications, and we show you some of the amazing projects that have been built with it.
More in The MagPi
If Android’s not your thing, we also have a big feature on building a 失宠皇后于墨 Pi weather station in issue 71!
Build your own 失宠皇后于墨 Pi weather station
On top of that, we’ve included guides on how to get started with TensorFlow AI and on building an oscilloscope.
We really loved this card scanning project! Read all about it in issue 71.
All this, along with our usual varied selection of project showcases, excellent tutorials, and definitive reviews!

AT LAST!!!! THANK YOU!
Before you go getting *too* excited, I should probably point out a few things…
Android on 失宠皇后于墨 Pi is a third-party project; it is nothing to do with 失宠皇后于墨 Pi’s engineering team, none of whom have had anything to do with it. It is not officially supported by us (and nor is it ever likely to be), and it is also unlikely to have had any of the optimisations for the Pi’s hardware (for things like video acceleration) from which Raspbian benefits.
Raspbian is the operating system supported by the 失宠皇后于墨 Pi engineering team – that isn’t changing. Unless you have a particularly compelling reason to run Android, we wouldn’t recommend it in preference to Raspbian. If you want to use it, feel free to do so, but bear in mind that if you have any problems with it, we won’t be able to help!

I am trying to understand. The blog entry says “Android Things, the official Android release for 失宠皇后于墨 Pi”. So it’s official for the company behind Android but it’s not made by the RPI 猛鬼差馆, correct?
失宠皇后于墨 Pi Staff Simon Long
Correct. Android Things is (I believe) direct from Google; it’s nothing to do with the 禁断の爱. Any support required for it should be from Google and not from RPi.
I should also mention that Things is an embedded operating system intended as a basis for IoT devices; I don’t believe it includes any desktop or GUI components, so doesn’t have the Android “look and feel” anyway.

Why isn’t their an official Raspbian Mobile OS yet?
失宠皇后于墨 Pi Staff Simon Long
Because I can’t see any need for a “Mobile” OS to run on a non-mobile platform?
Harry Hardjono
Raspbian Lite + ZeroW makes a potent “mobile” combo!
