Subject: [raspberry-vi] Android working with Talkback on Android 11 rom
Hello all,
Well, I have managed to get a talking Pi400 for now. It wasn't through Emteria,
but Omni Rom. I haven't yet experimented whether this trick works on other
roms, but I found out about it after the dev of that
RPI4 rom replied to me on XDA.
Essentially, you are able to plug the Pi's USB type C port into a computer for
power. I have a desktop here with a USB type C port. I plugged in the PI and in
this rom, ADB is enabled on USB by default, so you are able to adb shell in
after you have connected it over USB.
This I'm not sure if it will work on every Android Rom. It could just be that
with Omni, as it's a rom more for tinkerers, ADB is on by default over USB.
However this is a great start, at least with one rom, and I'm happy about this.
Once you connect both you will need to install talkback and Google TTS. You
will need the armv64 versions of these off APK Mirror. You can, for now, use
adb install <filename> to get these on your Pi, although they are stored in the
user partition and not system, less reliable especially if you factory reset.
Userdata is not encrypted though, which should mean getting it to work on a
lock screen if you set a pin lock, for example.
The Rom developer agreed to include both of these APKs in the next week's build
of the rom. This is also good news.
https://dl.omnirom.org/tmp/rpi4
is where you will find all of the downloads. After flashing, start your PI but
connect power to USB on a PC for the initial set up.
That's it. It's actually very simple to get going once you know and are
familiar with the steps.
Sincerely,
Tamas
