I took the kernel from Armbian and compiled an updated version for Android. The patch to fix the recent root expliot has also been applied. Android system was taken from Beelink's v205k4, dragonware removed.
The sys_config.fex used is special fo OPI-PC. And because I have no other model to test, if you want it to be usable for OPI-ONE, OPI-PC+, etc., you should mod for your own. Instructions of modding can be found in this forum.

Please report back if it doesn't boot up for you. THe first boot take a few minutes.

I Have Comfast CF-WU810N with RTL8188EUS chip and it is working on this image, the interesting thing is that WiFi works ONLY on two other images (opi2_lobo_Android_v3 and zidoo_v1.0.21_forOPIPC_c) and I still can not find why. Or there is special procedure for enabling it on other images?

I don't know why, but on every image which it works use exact same procedure:
1. Boot android with dongle inserted in any USB port
2. Open Settings (there WiFi is off)
3. Remove dongle from USB port
4. Switch On WiFi form settings (dongle is still removed)
5. Inserted dongle in USB port
6. Shut Down the device, without exit Settings menu
7. Boot android and WiFi is now working
If this not work form firs time, I made Low level format of SD and burn image again

And here one thing that surprise me: When Insert old Bluetooth 2.0 dongle (CSR chip) it works, on no other android image worked
I hope this is helpful

Is it possible to multiboot this image with OpenElec for instance?

Hi, (OPiPC) The image is not working for me at all, I have downloaded twice just incase of a bad download. The LED on OPIPC stays green all the time and never changes, There is nothing in any USB ports to stop it booting, I have left it 5 mins without pressing the power putton. repowered it up again, and did a 1 second press and wait, 2 second press and wait and still only the green LED, No HDMI Output.  I have burnt it to 3 diferant SD cards that all work with any other Android image I put on them. so it's a NoGo for me.
Regards
Dave

"Instructions of modding can be found in this forum."
Could you point me to those? Please? I have been wanting to do that, in order to modify a ROM to start on power, and even I changed the sys_config.fex, it never did boot on power.
I would really appreciate the info. Thanks!
