Has anyone experimented with one of these?

Thanks

I have one of these sets and the screen is very slow to refresh and everything else is running slow.
I downloaded the Android 4.2.2 .img file and booted from an SD flash card, with not much Joy.

Will B4A run on any other linux revision?

OK, good news.
I have followed the directions of inserting my SD card into my WIN 7 PC and editing the uEnv.txt file, by removing the video= entry then saving and installing the SD back into the LCD7 +BBB system and all came up well.

I used the Android loading process on the BBB android site.

Now to calibrating the touchscreen and finding out how to turn on the screen navigation buttons bacl on, you know the back, home and windows buttons.

The site I used to generate the boot image on an SD card was here http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Android

Then I made the changes above.

I added this line to the uEnv.txt file and it got rid of the flickering and slow display for just about any mode in insert.

Now I can display a clean system

Now if i can get the touch screen calibrated and the navigation keys to show I will be in business.
