**Hardware and Performance**

I'm using the latest version of Ida 64, which has integrated Display, and it's showing that this Raspberry Pi 4 is running on Android 10, beta. Initially, it seems like everything is working as expected. The display is set to 720p resolution out of the box, which is quite impressive considering the relatively low specifications of the device. I've overclocked the CPU to 2 GHz on all four cores and 650 MHz on the GPU, which should provide a significant boost in performance.

However, one thing that catches my attention is that the RAM is listed as only 1 MB, despite being an 8 GB model. This is likely due to the fact that Android is using some of the available memory to run its services and apps. I've tried to install Google Play Store, but it's not working properly, so I'm relying on Aptoide to download my apps.

**Hardware Acceleration**

One feature that sets this build apart from others is hardware acceleration or GPU acceleration. This is something that has been lacking in most Android builds for the Raspberry Pi, and I've never managed to get 3D Mark to run properly before. However, with this build, I was able to complete the test without any issues.

When I look at the results of the OpenGL test, it's clear that this device is capable of running demanding graphics applications. Although the score is relatively low compared to other devices, it's still impressive considering the specs of the Raspberry Pi 4. I've tried various pre-installed apps like PPSSPP and Retro Arch, which work as expected.

**Testing Android Apps**

I've downloaded a few apps from Aptoide, including YouTube, Firefox, and some native Android games like Brawl Stars. When I launch the YouTube app, it seems to be working properly, but loading videos is taking an inordinate amount of time. This might be due to the version of the app I installed, but I've never seen this behavior before with other devices.

In contrast, Brawl Stars works well, even though it's not the most demanding game for Android. The device handles it smoothly, and the performance is impressive. Although the HDMI audio isn't working yet, the single speaker plugged into the Raspberry Pi 4 is sufficient for listening to music or watching videos.

**Testing Emulators**

I've also tested a few emulators, including PPSSPP and Redream. While PPSSPP works decently well with Tekken 6, running it at lower resolutions like 1x resolution on OpenGL One doesn't seem to provide much of an improvement. I've tried switching back to RetroArch and running the same game, but the performance is better.

However, when I try Redream again, running it on Raspberry Pi OS or Retropie would likely provide even better performance. The device's capabilities are still being explored with this early version of Android 10 for the Raspberry Pi, so there's room for improvement.

**Conclusion**

Overall, this build of Android 10 on the Raspberry Pi 4 is a promising start. While it has its limitations and issues, such as the RAM being listed incorrectly and the HDMI audio not working yet, the performance of the device is still impressive. The hardware acceleration feature, which was lacking in most other builds, is a significant improvement.

For those interested in trying this build out for themselves, I've included links to download the image and instructions on how to flash it onto an SD card using Etcher. If you'd like a more detailed installation tutorial, please let me know in the comments below, and I'll create a video to help guide you through the process.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on everybody it's eta prime back here again today we're going to be taking a look at a new build of android 10 tv on the raspberry pi 4. now this comes to us from lemoncrest.com i will leave links in the description it's just a basic image and you can flash with etcher to an sd card but if anybody's really interested in a full tutorial let me know in the comments below but in this video i just wanted to give you a look at this android build running on the pi 4. because it's actually really interesting and believe it or not this is the best performing version of android that i've ever tested on a raspberry pi mainly because we do have gpu acceleration and it does support opengl es 3.1 and that's something that's been lacking in pretty much all other android builds along the road so if we hop into ida 64 and head over to display you can see it's using v3d 4.2 and it does support opengl es resolution is set at 720p out of the box go up to cpu i am overclocked to 2 gigahertz on all four cores and 650 megahertz on the gpu and as you can see we have the raspberry pi 4 i'm actually using the 8 gigabyte model but it's showing me that i only have a total of 1 megabyte of ram it's still using the ram though so this build is in beta it's far from a daily driver and there are some issues we don't have audio over hdmi i'm actually using the 3.5 millimeter audio jack on the side of the pi and google play is installed but unfortunately i can't install anything from google play and i've actually went through and tried to link this with my developer account so it is google play certified but it's just not downloading from google play so what i've actually been using is aptoide to install my apps but i say the main thing that this build has going for it is hardware acceleration or gpu acceleration like i mentioned this is something that's been lacking from pretty much all other builds of android for any raspberry pi and i've never been able to get 3dmark to run but on this one i was able to finish the test i'll go up here to my results and as you can see it did the opengl test just fine and came out with 289 very low score even really cheap android tablets are beating this out in opengl but it's still really awesome to see this running on the raspberry pi 4. so there are a few pre-installed apps like ppsspp retro arch and a couple others like firefox but i've gone through aptoide and installed a few that i wanted to test first up we have youtube the app itself launches you can do a search from the search bar but it takes forever for a video to load if i go here to big buck bunny it's gonna sit here for about three minutes then it'll start playing and overall it's a little choppy and this very well could have to do with the youtube app that i installed i had to sideload it from apk mirror but i've really never seen this in the past so it probably comes down to the build of android we're using now but i was able to get some native android games installed and we're going to test one out now called brawl stars now this game was specifically designed with a touch screen in mind so i'm going to move over to my mouse here but the game actually works pretty well here now this is not the most demanding game for android and i completely understand that but i kind of wanted to keep it light here just to see how it performed and as you can see i mean it's fully playable now even though hdmi audio isn't working on this build yet the audio jack on the raspberry pi is so i have a single speaker plugged in here the next thing i wanted to test real quick was a couple emulators we have ppsspp this is pre-installed with the image along with retroarch i did have to sideload redream but here's ppsspp we're doing tekken 6 1x resolution opengl one and overall performance really isn't that bad now even with bottocera laka and retropie i do get better performance out of psp on the raspberry pi 4 but given that this is a version of android i think performance is decent we'll go ahead and back out of here and try redream again running raspberry pi os or retropie redream is going to work better but i still wanted to show it off we'll go with soul calibur so it's not the best that i've seen out of redream on the raspberry pi 4. like i mentioned raspberry pi os or retropie definitely has this beat because it's using a specific messa driver that's packaged with redream but i can't stress it enough that this is an early version of android 10 for the raspberry pi this is a beta so yeah i mean actually performance is really good when you take a look at android running on the raspberry pi like i mentioned at the beginning this is actually the best performance that i've got out of android on any raspberry pi so far i'm going to leave links to the website where you can download this image you just basically flash with etcher to your microsd card and boot it up but if there's anybody out there that really wants a full installation tutorial just let me know in the comments below and i can make a video very soon just let me know but that's it for this video and like always
