Linux Desktop for Amlogic S905X4 Android TV BOX

[VolksPC]

Hi,

You can now run a Linux desktop on any rooted Android 11 S905X4 based TV Box .
This runs as an application on top of Android. This mean that you will still have all your Android capabilities.

I saw the video. It is truly an amazing transformation.
Most of the Amlogix s905x4 boxes have a ROOT switch.
The CPU and RAM utilization is acceptable.
All other functions are working?
This could truly help children in developing regions. An ultra-low-cost Android TV Box transforming into a Linux PC is an excellent opportunity to further education.
For Testing, The Website offers APKs for Android on PC and Pi Emulation. The website does have the APKs needed to install and run the platform on an actual Android device. However, the navigation is not good.

There are some minor issues with the Android 11 software which hopefully will get fixed on their next firmware update.
The Linux desktop on the other hand works well without any problems.
