Anbernic RG353PVM AOSP12 Beta #1 (Android 12)
Added 2022-12-06 17:00:09 +0000 UTCHere's an early Christmas present for all those Anbernic RG353P, RG353V and RG353M users out there!
This brings Android 12 to the RK356X SoC along with the usual goodies all of you have come to expect from my builds by now.
For a detailed list of everything please check the changelog below!
How to install: Download and install 7zip on your system, download all attached files into the same folder, extract the file ending with .001 by right-clicking it and choosing "7-Zip -> Extract Here" and finally open README.txt for further instructions.
For those needing root: Magisk is pre-installed in the boot image and can be activated at any point in time by installing the official Magisk APK.
For those needing Google Apps: Enable Magisk and install the LiteGapps Magisk module.
Changelog
- Initial Android 12 build
- Added Magisk support
- Added APT-X & APT-X HD BT codec support
- Added EXFAT, NTFS, EXT4 & F2FS MicroSD card support
- Added a XBOX / Nintendo gamepad layout toggle
- Added a Google Pixel 6 fingerprint (to silence GMS)
- Bypassed Safety Net via a framework patch (to silence GMS)
- Added widevine L3 support (for VOD streaming services)
- Switched to the skiavk renderer (we have Vulkan, might as well use it)
- Marked the internal gamepad as external (fixes Game Pass)
- Improved the internal gamepad code to more accurately emulate a XBOX gamepad (ups the chances of the latest Dead Cells version picking up on the gamepad, its still pretty random though... older Dead Cells builds always work though, strange...)
- Fixed some WiFi HAL drop issues
- Ported the touchscreen mapper
- Gamepad buttons no longer wake the device
- Tweaked the RAM, CPU & GPU clocks (to squeeze out a little bit more)
- Disabled ZRAM swap file (we can't afford the overhead on this CPU)

2024-04-04 16:03:23 +0000 UTCFrom Retro Game Corps, "** Update: Anbernic released a "v2" of the RG353V, with a different screen, which is not compatible with this Android update. If you buy a recent version of this device, it is likely a "v2" unit. **" Please do some research, ppl...

Abdullah Alamri
2024-02-14 18:33:33 +0000 UTCi forgot to mention, forget using the dual os system if you have a black screen after, i haven't been able to find a fix for android it yet, and its practialy unuseable and im 12-14 hours new into tryina find out why
NK917
2024-02-14 09:18:06 +0000 UTCfor those running into issues like a black screen too you have to flash lynix onto a new sd card then do the same process you did to flash android 12, from there it'll read off the card, and u can get everything back, but you can't press the rest button next to the power button, for some reason it messes everything up. if you do however, go into system resque and rest it, it will make your games playable again

2024-02-14 09:16:17 +0000 UTCcan u tell me how to re flash stock systems on here please?

2024-01-08 11:26:06 +0000 UTCI followed the instructions on for my RG353V but the screen stay black and nothing happens (I only have the SD card with the image on it with Belenaechter on MAC OSX). Could it be flashing the image on the SD card is not working when done on a MAC?
Zak
2023-12-28 15:17:32 +0000 UTCWhen I download and unzip them they are ARKOs files... NOT Android 12
Everett Vinzant
2023-12-15 01:11:11 +0000 UTCYes, I had the same issue. Made several attempts to flash via Belena on multiple brand new SD cards (SanDisk Ultra) and same result. Reached out to BS directly over a week ago and no response. Very disappointing.
NoogaGoose
2023-11-28 17:26:41 +0000 UTCSo I just wasted $10 to get a non functioning update? I've re flashed to stock and am now running ArkOS just fine
Matt Marino
2023-11-16 19:17:12 +0000 UTCCould you install custom android? i have a 353v, im guessing that mine is v2 because i had black screen trying to install this rom. Did you got a work arround?

Kevin Genocchi
2023-10-17 17:15:01 +0000 UTCOther RG353M with black screen here, please share original Retro Game Corps version AOSP-12-20221203-UNOFFICIAL-RG353-SDFlash.7z because last version doesn't work. EDIT 17/10/2023: All cleared up, this version of Android only brings support for the screen of the first version of the RG353M. I have tested it with a first generation RG353M (v1), it works correctly on this one, on another "new" RG353M (v2) the black screen problem happens. I guess the problem in the P and V versions is the same. Here's a tutorial on Reddit on how to check which screen version (v1 or v2) you have.

2023-08-27 04:28:22 +0000 UTCdamn i just got the membership for this and there's a glitch!!!!!!
JOEY
2023-08-27 01:30:06 +0000 UTCHi y'all, if you're coming here from Retro Gaming Corps' video (or wherever you heard about this) and you get the black screen, please go back and leave a comment warning others about the glitch before they spend the $10 to get this cfw. So far Black Seraph has not communicated anything about whether there is a fix in the works or if they even know about the problem so it's up to the community to help each other out. Please try to keep it polite and only state facts, BS has done a lot of other things for the community and turning this into a witch hunt will do more harm to the community than good in the long run.

2023-08-23 03:30:33 +0000 UTCSame here on RG353V, black screen and image not installing. I used Win32DiskImager and also latest balenaEtcher for flashing the image. Restoring the original Anbernic firmware with the Anbernic tool to flash the image works. Seems I have the wrong version of RG353V :(( I hope for an update to enable both versions.
Tommy Hechtel
2023-08-20 13:38:39 +0000 UTCI was successfully recovered to Factory Firmware. Going here to download factory firmware. https://win.anbernic.com/download/261.html Flash the image to SD card and follow step similar to this post.
An Hoang
2023-08-16 05:09:34 +0000 UTCI will try restore the device using Factory firmware. I'll update the status here.
An Hoang
2023-08-16 04:29:22 +0000 UTCRG353V here. Looks like I have also bricked my device. After flashing the image into SD card and inserting the card into device, I had a blank/black screen, after a while there was still nothing. I then shutdown the device and removed the card. Now the device also had blank/black screen when booting into Android.
An Hoang
2023-08-16 04:28:54 +0000 UTCAnbernic uses two screens that use two different drivers for the RG353v's (could be others as well, but I only know for sure about the v's) and this cfw only works for one and bricks the other until you reflash the stock firmware.
1337P373
2023-08-13 06:00:30 +0000 UTCI didn't know people were having issues. It just works for me.
Ehren Loudermilk
2023-08-13 04:37:44 +0000 UTCRG353m user : If you are affected by the "black screen" syndrome, you must reflash the rom available on the Anbernic site from the software provided in the file: https://win.anbernic.com/download/261.html
Krelian
2023-08-09 01:06:59 +0000 UTCNot to get this build working but you can reflash the stock fw to get your android side working again

Sam Ashton
2023-07-23 20:15:05 +0000 UTCGet the stock fw off the anbernic website and reflash it. You'll be back at square one but at least your device will work again.

2023-07-16 15:09:02 +0000 UTCI was fortunate and was able to purchase a V1 RG353M. But how can you tell the difference between a V1 device and a V2 device *before* you attempt to flash the device?
Mogomra Zero
2023-07-14 04:35:56 +0000 UTCHas the dev even commented on the v2 issue? Is there even a fix in the works?
1337P373
2023-07-13 11:18:53 +0000 UTCBad investment. Took my money to brick my device. Black screen for $10.
Arthur Ferreira
2023-07-11 00:50:14 +0000 UTCTrue - disappointing to read this while waiting for my V to arrive, but glad I did before flashing.
Matt Hesketh
2023-07-08 22:48:49 +0000 UTCDev is over extending his project count IMO. If he doesn’t have associates ,Too many projects = less/no support. This v2 issue is several months old, meanwhile OTG Gaming has ArkOS tutorial that shows ArkOS team has had a driver patch for v2 at least 4 months ago. I say to all newcomers, DO NOT PAY atm for RG353V/s content. You will be left disappointed, and unheard for months.

2023-07-04 20:26:52 +0000 UTCI wasnt able to get it to flash on my end

2023-06-14 13:38:46 +0000 UTCI just put the SD card and now my screen is black....what the hell? Did I broke my RG353V?
Alessandro
2023-06-14 13:37:23 +0000 UTCDoing exactly what you said right now. Really hope this helps me. A youtube of this would get huge hits, considering the lack of support the Dev is proving right now.
Joshua Dunn
2023-06-11 19:57:09 +0000 UTCJust donated my $10 to brick my new 353v. Fantastic. Wish there was a warning....I must have the "v2" people are commenting on.

Topaz Aryanto
2023-06-07 02:30:50 +0000 UTCI imaged to SD using Rufus, and I think I bricked the Android side of my RG353V. It was just a black screen and didn't show anything else. It's also difficult to boot from SD card, and takes several attempts to load ArkOS
Adam Long
2023-05-24 13:23:45 +0000 UTCI am having problems with my RG353M as well--it's all blank screen. Can we have access to the previous versions? They might work instead of this latest one.
Jewelwayne Cain
2023-05-24 12:53:08 +0000 UTCI imaged an SD card using Balena Etcher, inserted it into my RG353M and then turned on the device, after it installed the update and then asked me to remove the sd card, which I then did, it just gets stuck on the Anbernic Logo. Pls Help

2023-05-17 09:30:05 +0000 UTCwell, for me it's working great, the USB-C sound is greatly improved, no more need for the noise P2 sound, other than that I didn't used that much the original Android, so can't say anything, will install playstore and play some games I have purchased, for now, thank you.
dimenfer
2023-05-16 19:19:48 +0000 UTCThis bricked my RG353V
Chimera
2023-05-16 07:28:55 +0000 UTCYeah it's pretty disappointing there's no warning at all, or no response here. And I use ArkOS and it's great, but the factory android is slow and bloated. Which is why I paid for this slim version in the first place.
Jarad
2023-04-30 23:44:55 +0000 UTCV2 does NOT work. arkos is great it has OTA (over the air) updates https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki#download-links
Juan Padilla
2023-04-30 15:38:26 +0000 UTCarkOS works great, remove TFT1/INT to boot into android then reinsert when you see the android logo so you dont lose the card.
Juan Padilla
2023-04-30 15:36:51 +0000 UTCit seems this dev is content to take our $$ and not issue a fix for the V2 screen

2023-04-08 22:41:46 +0000 UTC@Black-Seraph please give us an update for the V2 screen? I know you're focused on the RG35XX right now, but the V2 screen is being sold en masse and I've heard such great things about this project.
Eth3real
2023-04-06 13:34:29 +0000 UTCI don't have v2 I have v1, installs fine, but you can no longer use Linux, so I went and installed stock firmware with Google play and just registered my device, works great

Kai
2023-04-05 21:06:20 +0000 UTCGuys don't download this android version, you won't be able to boot to Linux no more, I had to roll mine back, and I did it another way, now I have stock firmware with Google play registered, and can hit the "FN" button during boot to boot into Linux again, all is well on my rg353v again. Just search on YouTube "how to install stock firmware with Google play" it will be under DroiX and will have Retro Breeze on intro, I wish I wouldn't have wasted 10.00 on this though before I youtubed a free version lol. I hate though not being able to use black-seraphs firmware, but it seems he hasn't found a fix for dual boot or the v2 screen, so had to go another route.
Michael Snipes
2023-04-04 03:06:22 +0000 UTCcan I use this on an RG535VS? I think I've tried every firmware for the 535V but I can't find any Custom Firmware for the RG35VS

freyathefearless
2023-03-15 11:23:31 +0000 UTCBoo.. Seems I have the V2 screen for this as well. I thought I bricked my device! But someone on reddit helped me, if you flash the original OS that Anbernic has on their website (assuming the DL link still works), it comes with the tool needed to flash the OS onto a microSD. Then just plop that back into the RG353V and it'll reinstall the original OS. I'm gonna keep checking back here to see if Black Seraph ever updates this for the V2 screens. Would love to utilize this.

Ivan Jevtic
2023-03-12 09:29:27 +0000 UTCDid not see this until just now. If you reflash the original android image to an sd card with SDDiskTool and boot with that, you can re-install android. I had the issue with the new v2 screen and I was able to get it working again with this method.
Christopher Roelofs
2023-03-10 15:14:21 +0000 UTCIf you have a v2 screen do not attempt to install this, it will make it so you have to reinstall linux on a differnt sd card and can not install android again or boot to android at all. if you do attempt this, you will have to either let the battery drain out or disconnect and reconnect the battery.

2023-03-08 20:30:31 +0000 UTCJust want to throw out some positive vibes...Great alternative Android OS, I have the RG353M (Apparently V1) and everything works great! One thing I will note, I didn't have to download and install Magisk, I just opened the one that is pre-installed and let it do it's thing...Then flashed latest litegapps (2.7) and good to go! Can boot between ArkOS and UnofficialOS just by swapping cards, again as expected. For those having issues, I would confirm you have good media, use proper tools (I've been using USB Image Transfer lately and it's quick and reliable, Etcher is a little buggy), and step through it slowly (Don't just do everything in one session and reboot). An update would be cool, but I get it...Will keep account active a few more months, thanx again for all your hard work!!!
Lee Wiscovitch
2023-03-03 06:08:54 +0000 UTCI love the os but I am just running into one problem, randomly the device will freeze and restart. Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know how to fix it?

2023-02-28 04:07:02 +0000 UTCJust installed here on mine and it's working fine, I can boot on Linux normally and the android is really faster, so good!
Diego Menezes
2023-02-27 11:55:33 +0000 UTCDid you ever get this figured out? I got it to work on the gray version but it bricked the white version (which I assume is a V2, I didn't even know there was a V2).
Alex Nahon
2023-02-26 18:19:27 +0000 UTCMaybe try the SDcardinstaller, there is a version for mac. You can follow this > https://wiki.t-firefly.com/ROC-RK3328-CC/flash_sd.html#sdcard-installer
christophe peretti
2023-02-25 22:54:41 +0000 UTCSadly i’m on a Mac, so i can't use the provided card flashing software. I used balena etcher on a formated card, but it didn’t work. I hope i figure out some way of reverting to prior android firmware. I wish more info was provided before committing the payment for this. Also i wish more information was given to guide you through the software itself. Maybe then i could have been convinced to stay. My intended use for this update was to be able to boot into andoid to play psp and ps1 and then use the stock linux for nes, snes and gameboy.. That’s not possible in the current state of Seraphs update. Swithing between linux and android barely works and the androis functionality is buggy (f.i. Some swipe functions doesn’t work..). So.. Yeah.. I know Seraph does this alone, and I appreciate the effort, but to charge people for something this inferior is really bad.. Really regret buying into Retro Game Corps hype and wasting my money..

2023-02-22 11:23:43 +0000 UTCHad the same. Try this. process is same but with the original os. : here is the way in case: First download the original Android OS on anbernic website. For the rg353v it is here: https://win.anbernic.com/download/252.html The android package is here on the Anbernic Google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ec11lBONqEeNZ3QFadJlfHg8IyKisdPu/view?usp=share_link You can find other model via this page: https://win.anbernic.com/download/ You can also found the linux OS. An the anbernic remove the game SD card and the OS sd card. Optionnal but recommended to do before: Format your OS sd card: if firmware size is larger than 4g,format into ntfs. In this case any type should work. Let the Game SD card aside. You will re-insert it only when the Os will be rinstalled. Then use the RockChip Tool to prepare the sd with the original android OS, I think the tool came into the zip file with the Firnware when you download it via the anbernic site, it is version 1.69, In case you can download it via this link too, it is the v.1.7. no différences, v1.69 will work fine too. (It is my personnal Google Drive) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rGX-dNVeu6UguAaHmj2VnoJg-WaISUgC?usp=sharing There are some other tools in this share, what you need is named SDDiskTool_v1.7.zip. Downlaod and extract it. After it is very simple: 1- select SD_Firmware_Tool.exe 2- select your SD card 3- Check Upgrade Firmware 4- then click on "Firmware" button to browse the firmware directory. On the firmware folder there is a .img file. name If i remember right: "update.img", select this one. 5- clic on create and wait a bit. Then when it says it is finish, put the SD card on the 1st SD slot on the Anbernic and power it on. Don't press the console to boot on android. Let it boot normally on the SD like if it was booting on the linux os. Then the update must start. it must take 15 minutes around i guess. Let it run and remove the SD card at the end. The console will reboot and finish the process. At this moment you will get a fresh install like when you received it. Hope it will help you.

2023-02-17 18:00:38 +0000 UTCYou can rollback if not working. So... Flashing something is never 100% guaranteed and you accept some risks. If you dont feel confident, don't do but maybe it is something you had to thing about before. Most of the time people post a comment when it is not working. Not when it is working. Sometimes it is to help the community. Sometimes it is like the guy above ... 0 explenations.. What doeas mean a corrupted download for him ? Has he understood how it works ? When it is working for hundred people and not for you.. something is different for you ... bring info to help to find what is the problem.. But sometimes the problem is just between keyboard and the chair. :)

2023-02-04 16:24:02 +0000 UTCHi. Thanks for your work. Wanted to share my experience. I tried to install it on my rg353v, but unfortynatly like some others i got the black screen on boot. But it Seems the install is processing. just not showing. So i tested and let the machine works for 40minutes arround. then I removed the SD card as supposed at the end, and the console restarted as supposed too. Then i let anothe 40 minutes to finish the installation. At a moment I pushed one button many times. There was noises. So it let me think it was install, not sure. But still black screen and was never able to get anything. looks like it can be just the recognition of the screen. On my side, no problem to return under the original anbernic android.

2023-02-01 20:47:50 +0000 UTCOn my sd cards the file does not show up is it possibly located on the actual device and could it be called something else

2023-01-22 02:55:39 +0000 UTCSubscribed to test this out on a new RG353V, all I get is a black screen after inserting the SD card and the device will no longer boot with or without the card, just the backlight comes on and nothing shows up on screen. I had to open the device and disconnect the battery to fully reset, after that I had to re-flash with the stock Anbernic Android image. Edit: not sure if it's a regression in your image or a new revision of the RG353V causing it, I do know it has a new screen as evidenced by an issue in the ArkOS github.

For everyone that cant boot into linux after boot into android, just have to delete a file called "bootFA" inside of the "ANBERNIC" partition, its beside the "uboot.img" file, none of the data is lost, I dont know why this version of android create that file, but once erased everything works normal again, this have to be done everytime you boot into android, just delete that file and that's it

2022-12-29 00:59:05 +0000 UTCRe-flash the stock image to the SD card. If you use F+Power to boot into Android, this will happen. It's better to just remove the SD1 altogether to boot into Android.

2022-12-20 00:15:32 +0000 UTCThat sounds more like an emulator or frontend issue and not Android it self. Try downgrading to older version or contacting frontent dev\emulator dev.
Farfenkugell
2022-12-18 16:36:20 +0000 UTCHaving a small issue. When trying to open a game on daijisho for m64 plus FZ, it will no longer open. It will go into the m64Fz menu and only show the last game played. I can still open the game in the M64fz menu, but then that defeats the purpose of using a frontend. Is there fix for this? Do I have to wait for an update and have to pay again?

2022-12-16 06:11:59 +0000 UTCI found that shutting down the device, allowing it to boot into linux, shutting it down again and then booting into android fixed the problem for me. I don't know exactly what the sequence is that fixed it or if it just required a few reboots but I was getting the same pop up repeatedly and now it's been 100% fine.

DJ BROTHERSON
2022-12-09 21:06:53 +0000 UTCOn the flip side, for folks mainly interested in Android, it is worth noting that while booted into this Android build you can actually see TF1! I have both a 500GB and 400GB card installed in mine now, with games on both.
Preston Griffith
2022-12-09 20:59:19 +0000 UTCRight, but all it takes is one time for you to forget to remove it or inadvertently turn it on with the card in TF1.
Nicky Santoro
2022-12-09 05:36:35 +0000 UTCWill it be possible to run the display at 120hz with BFI? This could bring it down to an effective 60hz with zero motion blur.
Daniel
2022-12-09 03:21:23 +0000 UTCI'm already in the habit of removing TF1 as I run Jelos, so this doesn't affect me. I haven't installed yet, but thanks for pointing this out.
Sean Ong
2022-12-08 23:38:26 +0000 UTCI think the idea was that in order to load Android, you'd have to pop your Linux SD card out, however with the stock Linux firmware this is not necessary. So if I hit Func + PWR to boot to Android, the Linux install becomes corrupt and won't boot again.
Nicky Santoro
2022-12-08 19:41:13 +0000 UTCIts confirmed on my end. Initially I thought it was just a fluke, but nope. Linux will run fine so long as you don't ever boot Android. As soon as you do, the device will no longer boot to Linux.
Nicky Santoro
2022-12-08 19:06:06 +0000 UTCIs this confirmed or known issue? That would be terrible. It seems that i have to wait for a fixed version.
Jeremy Haas
2022-12-08 18:25:05 +0000 UTCHi, as previously stated, this Aos install kills your Linux install as soon as you put your Linux SD card back in the TF1 slot, it will run once after a fresh install, but as soon as you boot into android, Linux will no longer boot from TF1. Could you please look into this?
Nicky Santoro
2022-12-08 16:21:40 +0000 UTCAwesome! Other than this little issue, everything is awesome in your build! Thank you so much!

2022-12-08 15:58:42 +0000 UTCThanks for pointing it out. The gamepad driver is something I'm more or less continuously working on. GTA SA is already on my test candidate list along with Dead Cells (which sometimes picks up on the gamepad and sometimes doesn't for some reason).

2022-12-08 02:08:48 +0000 UTCHello! I have noticed that some games like GTA San Andreas don't recognize the analog sticks, which worked no problem with the stock firmware. Is there a solution for this? Thanks!

D. Matthew Dair
2022-12-07 16:11:33 +0000 UTCBlack, do you know if this install affects boot order? I can no longer seem to get Linux to boot off the SD card in TF1/INT. I had to flash a new linux image onto my linux SD card and it booted up just fine and rebooted and everything. But as soon as I boot into Android, it is no longer possible to boot from the linux card in TF1.
