Quite unusable

Hello Kamil,

Thanks for your great work on atv 7.1 for Rock64. I just got a Rock64 chip with 4gb RAM, and burnt your 0.3.13 android image on a class10 SDcard with Etcher. First boot is a bit long (~5min).

• Then, directly on the launcher I get system errors (close or wait app).
• I had to launch the play store 3 times to be displayed the form activity to set my google account (had to tell the system to wait several times for the activity to respond).
• The netspeed for downloading is incredibly slow (120kB/s) on a gigabit link.
• Had to wait for 2 minutes for youtube to launch, but when launched, the speed is correct and I succeeded to play a streamed 1080p video.
• Next boot is about 2 minutes.

My feeling for now : The system is incredibly slow, and I wonder why it is. It doesn't seem to be wakelocks, doesn't seem to be the RAM amount (3100MB free) either, maybe the class10 card ? There seems to be an input problem : google voice for input locks often, which leads to keyboard input not responding either (using android TV remote on smartphone).

I also tried the regular rock 64 android build and have the same impression of slowlyness. Do you have any opinion of this ? Have you succeeded in having a smooth system your side (EMMC or microSD) ? Thank you in advance and good luck !

Can you write what SD card did you use? I always use Samsung EVO/EVO+ as they offer the best I/O performance. It is more important than sequential R/W.

Did you try to use eMMC?

I use this microSD : https://www.pearl.fr/article/CM642/carte-micro-sdhc-transflash-class-10-16-go

It's a mainstream 16GB class10. Never tried with emmc. You think it could increase perf significantly ?

I have the same type of problems. Not so much the problem with speed but constant freeze. Launcher errors I can very seldom even get into the android desktop. I thought it was a bad board so I replaced it and still the same problems. It always seems to freeze while loading recommendation. I have used eMMC a Samsung Evo and a Samsung Evo+ all with the same result. I would really love to use your rom as I love the way it looks but I have not been able to put it to the test because of all of the errors. I have tried your last stable build and all of the pre-builds since all with the same result. Your help is appreciated.

I just ordered a 32Go Samsung Pro+ microSD. It seems to have pretty good perfs in random read/write. I'll let you know if better in a few days.

With the Samsung pro plus 32GB and atv build 115, no more lags anymore. The system's just smooth. Thank you for your support and work !!
