You run Android on a Raspberry Pi? I didn't know that was possible... Can you tell more about how that works and why you're doing this?

Here a blog post I wrote about using OmniROM on pi : https://fediverse.blog/~/Searching/Test%20driving%20OmniROM%20on%20Raspberry%20pi4 I like it a lot except for one minor thing, that I cannot shut it down nicely after usage since the power off button doesn't work for me. Apart from that there is also the Android x86 project where you can choose to run LineageOS on x86 computers https://www.android-x86.org/ I tested that again a few months ago, and the cool thing is that you can install it on usb stick besides installing it on a hdd. The bad thing imho is that their LineageOS comes with Gapps preinstalled. For pi3 and pi4 there is also this : https://konstakang.com/ which (pi3) can also be installed with PINN https://github.com/procount/pinn I've played with that a few years ago. It is for more advanced users. The method with OmniROM above is really easy in comparison in my opinion.
