Android distros for Pi 3 w/ SPI screen support?

Post by /RaspberryPi »


Subject TL;DR. Just curious if anyone is aware of any Android distros for the Pi (Pi 3B specifically here) that support SPIDSI based screens such as the official 7" touch screen? Many of the good ones I've come across only seem to work with HDMI screens.

EDIT: Was corrected on my wording. I'm concerned about the DSI based screen in this case. Can't edit the title unfortunately.

EDIT 2: KonstaKANG's blog has a number of LineageOS releases for the RPi models: https://konstakang.com/ - These do support DSI displays but a different graphics driver needs to be enabled first:

1) Boot up initially connected via HDMI and complete all the setup steps.
2) Go into Settings > System > Advanced Settings and change the Graphics Driver to SwiftShader. Optionally change the screen rotation too here.
3) Reboot and go!
