Now I'm actually curious. If you have Google Play installed on a system does that automatically come with Widevine for FullHD content or do you only get the very basic version of Widevine (what was it 720p)?
The widevine you're referring to comes from the official chrome images. At least that's where I rip from for things like libreElec and the other mediacenter style distros.
An AOSP based ROM is a perfectly good OS to try on a Pi, though I personally will always prefer Linux. However, the moment you install Google Play Services on the device is the moment you're forced to log in with a Google account and then you're tracked by Google. (You can technically use the device without logging in but you're still tracked to an accuracy of 2 meters.)
@@glabifrons "That's funny. None of my Raspberry Pi devices have a GPS." Correct - that's why you need to go do some research on "wi-fi triangulation" to understand how the tracking works. "Wi-fi triangulation" through a wi-fi interface in promiscuous mode is far more accurate than GPS and isn't blocked by buildings.
@@glabifrons PS. You also need to go read up on GPS because you clearly don't understand how that works. You can't be tracked through GPS directly because a device only uses a GPS signal from a satellite to work out its location - it would need to re-broadcast its location at regular intervals to a third party for that third party to track it. And one could easily block such signals.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I'm more than familiar with Assisted GPS (as it used to be and sometimes still is called). Anyone concerned about privacy using a Pi to run Android wouldn't be running it over WiFi to begin with. Ethernet is the right answer here. If you think WiFi is extremely secure, perhaps you're the one who needs to do some research. As to me not understanding how GPS works, it seems you are the one who doesn't understand that Google's apps can query the GPS coordinates from the device just the same way it can query the AGPS coordinates from the device. GPS receivers don't transmit at all.
Do a search for "AOSP [model of device]" and see if that search finds anything. As I explained in another comment here, I installed the base Android Open Source Project ROM on an unsupported Samsung phone and it worked very well - and it wasn't that difficult to do. Like Linux, AOSP appears to support a large amount of hardware by default, so if you can get the default AOSP ROM onto it, that may also work for you.
I'm having trouble at the command prompt step where you enter the "cd adb" line. I get a message "The system cannot find the path specified", despite following and double checking everything according to the video. What would cause this?
I recently purchased an older Android phone in an eBay job lot, it was a Samsung phone, I can't remember the model name. It wasn't supported under any of the custom ROMs like Lineage OS and I wasn't willing to install the Samsung stock ROM on it because I only use de-Googled Android. I found a web page that gave me instructions on downloading a standard AOSP build and then patching it to include custom firmware that you'd need for the cellular modem (and possibly wifi) for the phone. When I installed it, it worked perfectly fine with all of the hardware detected properly. A Radxa Zero has much less dependent firmware than a phone does so a similar technique might work for that - I can maybe just recommend doing a search for "AOSP Radxa Zero" and see what that comes up with. I do work on a large number of SBCs but your Radxa one is one that I don't own, plus I much prefer Linux to Android and install that on devices unless there is no other option (like that Samsung phone). Sorry I can't help any more with this but I hope I've given you a few pointers.
@ NVIDIA recommends 4GB minimum on Windows devices. So 4GB should be enough if you are just game streaming. If the budget allows probably safer to get 8GB
You may need to open up "Developer Options" and then allow ADB to run in there. To enable "Developer Options" you find the "Build Number", usually under "About Phone" or "About Device" and then tap that item 8 times - it will tell you that you're opening up "Developer Options" as you tap it.

I don't know how to do this on Ethernet because I don't run Android currently on any device with an Ethernet interface, only Wi-Fi. To do it in Wi-Fi, it's "Network and Internet" -> "Internet" -> "Wi-Fi" and then click on the Wi-Fi network you want to set a static IP address. I can only assume that when you have an Ethernet interface, it must appear in that same "Internet" sub-menu so you can set it there. The other way you can do it is make the change on your router - there's usually a setting on there for it to hand out the same DHCP IP address to a specific MAC address.

There is no such thing as a stock Android ROM on a Raspberry Pi. A stock ROM means "the ROM that came with the device by default", so it applies to tablets and phones. For tablets, it will be the ROM that Samsung, Google or other tablet manufacturer puts on the tablet by default. For phones, it will be the same kind of manufacturer ROM as for tablets but if the phone is a contract phone, then the stock ROM will also include apps from the mobile phone provider also. All versions of Android originate from AOSP (Android Open Source Project) which, as its name suggests, is a completely Open Source version of Android that is the basis for Lineage, Calyx and Graphene OS ROMs on various devices - these remain as Open Source ROMs. However, when Google takes AOSP as a baseline build, it strips off a lot of the Open Source software and installs its own closed source replacements. This forces the user to log in with a user account (AOSP does not do that) and it enables Google Play Services which essentially turns it into a surveillance device for Google that means they can track you at all times to an accuracy of 2 metres. (Apple devices also do the same thing.) As far as I have experienced, stock ROMs are mostly, if not always, based on Google Android after Google has added closed source components to it - so the device will track you by default. I hope that explains it in clear enough language for you, I'm assuming English isn't your first language.
My usual warning applies here - adding Google Services to any version of Android means that you have to log in with a Google account to use the device. Doing so activates tracking through Google Play Services which then gives Google full access to the device and your location, using wifi triangulation. Well done, another surveillance device for Google that you paid the money for - they'll be very happy with that arrangement.
