RaspAnd 16 (Android 16) for Raspberry Pi 5 with GAPPS (Google Play Store), Spotify and Bluetooth pre-installed ::: Build 260314

Posted on March 14, 2026 by exton

ABOUT RaspAnd 16 – Build 260314 – with GAPPS
RaspAnd 16 runs very well on a Raspberry Pi 5. I.e. the system is pretty responsive if you use a micro SD card of good quality. RaspAnd 16 has the following apps pre-installed: GAPPS (Google Play Store and other Google apps) and Spotify.  Once you have configured Google Play Store you can install the apps you want/prefer. 

MOST IMPORTANT NEWS IN BUILD 260314
You CAN run Netflix in RaspAnd 16, Build 260314, which you can’t in Build 250716. You can also install and run Viaplay and HBO Max. Probably also most other “movie streaming” apps.

RASPBERRY Pi 5
RaspAnd 16 is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5 released on October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB). You can’t run RaspAnd 16 on another Raspberry Pi model than Pi 5.
NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

ABOUT Android 16, which was released 250610…
Read also an article about The Evolution of Android  – List of Android Versions and Release Dates. As you can see Android 16 is the latest stable version of Android.

PLEASE NOTE that you must be aware of the fact that the Raspberry Pi 5 computer has its limitations and that Android 16 is a very advanced Linux system. Having said that I must also say that the apps I have included in this Build (see above) work very well. The max screen resolution is 1920×1080. I think. 

NOTE also that you may have to register “your device” (i.e. your Rpi5) before you can log in to Google Play Store. Please read my instructions below about how to register so that your device will be Play Protect Certified. I have changed the instructions 260314.
NOTE HOWEVER: As regards Build 260314 it is not necessary to register your device (your Rpi5) – see below.

About Raspberry Pi 5
This build (RaspAnd 16 260314) works very well on the new Raspberry Pi 5. I used the latest model with 8GB RAM, but you can of course use the other models too.

Startup of RaspAnd 16 Build 260314
The first thing you will see on the screen is this boot animation.

If you do not see this animation you haven’t installed RaspAnd correctly on the SD card. (Please use Rufus in Windows for the installation to the SD Card). The first boot is a bit slow. (Can take a few minutes). Next boot will be faster.

The registration instructions below are for my old version of RaspAnd 16 from 250716. Read below how to use Google Play Store and install all the apps you need.

############################################################
Instructions about how to register so that your device will be Play Protect Certified
First things to do after booting RaspAnd 16:
1. After a few minutes you will reach the Desktop – screenshot 1
2. You should then immediately connect to your WiFi Network – screenshot 2
3. Start the app Device Info again and write down the GSF ID –  screenshot 3
4. When you try to start Google Play Store you will get a message saying that This device isn’t Play Protect certified. Google apps and services can’t run on this device – screenshot 3
5. Now you will have to go to this site and register your device. Here you shall fill in the GSF ID you wrote down before and click on Registrera (Swedish for Register) – screenshot 4.
6. Restart your Rpi5 after a successful registration. Click on the power button in the menu up to the right and hold your finger there until you see the alternatives Restart and Power off – screenshot 5. When back to the Desktop you will have to wait a while Google Play is updating . You will then be able to log in to your Google account – screenshot 5. If not try again!
7. Finally you can enjoy Google Play Store – screenshot 6. Start with installing Microsoft Launcher (for example). You can install and run many “big” games. For example Asphalt 8 and Hunting Clash. NOTE: Unfortunately many big games need a touchscreen. While running Asphalt 8 you can maneuver the car with the keyboard though. While running Hunting Clash you can also use the keyboard.

ANOTHER WAY TO REGISTER YOUR DEVICE
If you can’t make Google Play Store work the way I describe above (1 – 7) you can try this approach.
1. Reinstall RaspAnd 16 to your SD card
2. Connect to your WiFi Network – screenshot 1
3. Go to Settings > Google and sign in with you Gmail account – screenshot 2
4. Start the app Device Info and write down the GSF ID –  screenshot 3
5. Now you will have to go to this site and register your device. Here you shall fill in the GSF ID you wrote down before and click on Registrera (Swedish for Register) – screenshot 4
6. Reboot!
Start the Google Play Store app. Try again if it does not work the first time. You may also have to reboot a second time.
##################################################################

How to use Google Play Store in Build 260314
1. Open the Settings app and connect to to your WiFi Network
2. Then click on Google Services & preferences to the left and log in with your Gmail account – screenshot
3. After that you can start Google Play Store. Be sure to immediately install all apps you may need. For example YouTube and Netflix.
NOTE: After a reboot of your Rpi5 you may not be able to use Google Play Store anymore. You may see an error message about the GSF ID – screenshot. You shall then click on the link on the error message to play.google.com. You will then be able to go on and install new apps. Watch a screenshot when I’m installing the Vivaldi browser that way.

My sources
You can find my sources for RaspAnd 16 here. Following those instructions you can build your own “RaspAnd” system.

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

About sound
HDMI sound works very well in this RaspAnd build.

MORE NEWS 260314 ABOUT RaspAnd 16
RaspAnd 16 can be installed to a Micro SD card (preferable a class 10 card) in Windows 11/10 using Rufus, Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher. You can alternatively (of course) use the dd-command in a Linux system. Unzip the downloaded file raspand-android-16-rpi5-gapps-1390mb-260314.zip. Then open a terminal and run the command dd if=raspand-android-16-rpi5-gapps-14300mb-260314.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4MiB
(Change X to b, d or…).
NOTE: You really don’t have to unzip. While using Rufus or Etcher you can install directly from the zip-file as the screenshot below shows.

Using Rufus in Windows it will look like this.

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 95 MB/s. Also Samsung MicroSD EVO 16GB Class 10. Write speed up to 48 MB/s. Price 47 $ respectively 10 $ (in Sweden).

Kernel
Kernel 6.12.67 is used in RaspAnd 16 Build 260314.

After boot – first Desktop
Your desktop can look like this if you use the Microsoft Launcher (not pre-installed). You can install another launcher via Google Play to use instead of Microsoft Launcher. One of the best is Computer Launcher Pro. You can also choose Quickstep, which is pre-installed – watch this screenshot (the Desktop after I have installed a few extra apps). Quickstep is the default launcher for Android devices.

Screen resolution
The max screen resolution is 1920×1080 according to my experience. You can experiment with other resolutions if you want.

Spotify
The Spotify app works very well. Watch this screenshot when Spotify is running.

Netflix
You CAN run Netflix in RaspAnd 16, Build 260314, which you can’t in Build 250716. You can also install and run Viaplay and HBO Max. Probably also most other “movie streaming” apps.

WiFi support
The newer versions of RaspAnd has excellent support for WiFi (on Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3 Model B and Model B+). Previous problems with the WiFi connection are gone. I.e. the WiFi connection will automatically be re-established after every reboot. Just go to Settings/Network and connect. Watch this screenshot.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth works very well in this RaspAnd 16 build. I.e. you can send and receive files without problems. Watch this screenshot showing the pairing process with my Android phone. I haven’t tried other Bluetooth functions.

PERFORMANCE
Everything works! The System is responsive and quite fast.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Google Play Store running
2. Netflix installing – not pre-installed
3. HBO Max running – not pre-installed
4. Viaplay app running
5. Installing Wild Sniper
6. Installing Vivaldi browser via play.google.com
7. Running YouTube
8. The Desktop using Microsoft Launcher (not pre-installed)

RaspEX Kodi 64 bit – especially made for the “new” Raspberry Pi 5 – with the LXQt 2.2 Desktop and Kodi 21.3 “Omega” :: Build 260117

Posted on January 17, 2026 by exton

NEWS 260117 about RaspEX Kodi 64-bit
I’ve made a new version of RaspEX Kodi 64-bit. This version is based on Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) and Debian 13.3 Trixie. Debian 13.3 was released 260110. The LXDE Desktop is replaced with LXQt , which has a more “modern look” than LXDE. Historically, LXQt is the product of the merge between LXDE-Qt, an initial Qt flavour of LXDE, and Razor-qt, a project aiming to develop a Qt based desktop environment with similar objectives as the current LXQt. In RaspEX Kodi Build 260117 I’ve upgraded Kodi to version 21.3 Omega, which was released 251216. You can now much easier install extra repositories. Read about the best Kodi repos January 2026.

INSTALLED PACKAGES in Build 260117
Study all installed packages in Build 260117.

REPLACEMENT
This RaspEX Kodi Build (260117) replaces all previous versions of RaspEX Kodi. You can only run this new version on a Rpi5.

RASPBERRY Pi 5
RaspEX Kodi is made especially for the “new” Raspberry Pi 5 released October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB). You cannot run it on a Raspberry Pi 4 or any other Raspberry Pi model than Rpi5.

NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

PERFORMANCE
RaspEX Kodi is now very fast and responsive. And the video performance is brilliant. Almost as good as if you use a new “big” computer. Watch this screenshot…

History
My first version of RaspEX Kodi from 190124 was a replacement for RaspEX Kodi with OSMC, which was released 190117. Sam Nazarko (founder of OSMC) contacted me 190118 claiming that I was “violating” his rights to the trademark OSMC and the rules in GPLv2. I don’t think I did, but I’m also very tired. Therefore I made a new version (190124) of RaspEX Kodi without any traces of OSMC. I would say that all my later versions of RaspEX Kodi are as good as the old one from 190117. I.e. excellent video and sound performance both in Kodi and LXQt. For version 190124 I charged 9 $. My new versions (210829/2103017210211/210205/210904/220218/240215/2507307/260117) can be downloaded for free from SourceForge.net. People should not refrain from downloading RaspEX Kodi because of the money issue. I want all Linux and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts to enjoy the system. It runs very well on a the Raspberry Pi 5  (i.e. fast and responsive) with 4GB or 8GB RAM – released October 23, 2023. 
NOTE: All previous versions of RaspEX Kodi are replaced by version 260117.

How do I install RaspEX Kodi in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded file raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.3-lxqt-2120mb-260117.raw.xz) and transfer the IMAGE file (raspex-raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.3-lxqt-8000mb-260117.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16GB. For that you shall use Rufus in Windows.
NOTE: When using the Rufus  you’ll have to change the file ending from .raw to .img.



How do I install RaspEX Kodi in Linux?
You can of course also install RaspEX in any Linux system using the dd command. Just open up at terminal and run the following command (as root):
dd if=raspex-raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.3-lxqt-8000mb-260117.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Note: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data).
NOTE: When using the dd-command you’ll have to change the file ending from .raw to .img.
Without unpacking raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.3-lxqt-2120mb-260117.raw.xz you can use this command in any Linux system: xzcat raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.3-lxqt-2120mb-260117.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
NOTE: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data).

Log in to LXQt or Kodi
After the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM‘s login screen. It will look like this – see below. Log in as user pi with password raspberry. You can run Kodi on the LXQt Desktop like any other program or run it in full screen. Just change Kodi’s Settings from Windowed to Fullscreen. Watch this screenshot. You cannot log in as root (super admin).  The password for root is root (if you should ever need it). You can also start Kodi 21.3 directly from LightDM’s login screen. Choose preferably “Kodi on GBM” (Generic Buffer Management) for a better video experience.

Expand the filesystem on the SD card
If you install many new big programs and/or download large files (for example videos) you may run out of space on the SD card. That is best fixed by running the following command: sudo raspi-config. Click on “Advanced Options” and choose A1 Expand Filesystem – watch this screenshot…
NOTE: That’s all you have to do. Just wait for the script to fix everything. If you use a SD card of 32 GB all the space on it will be used afterwards.

API and Authentication keys
Google and Netflix make it more and more difficult to use the YouTube and Netflix add-ons in Kodi. They demand API and Authentication keys. To create the API key and make it work can be rather complicated. I’ve found two good instructions for it though.
1) Instruction 1
2) Instruction 2
IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Some (most) Add-ons need the YouTube Add-on to work. So I simply had to make YouTube work. Finally I managed to make the API keys work permanently. I have thus included the YouTube Add-on in RaspEX Kodi.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: For Kodi to work you (may) have to run two commands:
1) sudo chown -R pi:pi .kodi
2) sudo chown -R pi:pi .kodi/*
Watch this screenshot…
If you don’t run the just mentioned commands (it can happen that) Kodi will crash.

INSTALL EXTRA REPOSITORIES in Kodi
Read about the best Kodi repos in January 2026. I’ve tried some. The best one is Scrubs V2. Read about how to install Scrubs V2…

WiFi connections
Go to Menu >> Preferences >> Advanced Network Configuration and add your credentials. Then (if necessary) run the command sudo dhclient wlan0 (to get an IP-address).
Watch this screenshot.

Used kernel
Kernel 6.12.40-exton-v8-16k+ (for Rpi5).
NOTE: Build 260117 can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The LXQt Desktop running as user pi
2. Expanding the filesystem
3. RaspEX Kodi 21.3 system info
4. Kodi running showing some Add-ons (including YouTube)
5. Showing the video quality in YouTube (running Kodi)
6. Trying different 4K videos in YouTube (running Kodi)
7. Running a movie clip in YouTube in Kodi

RaspEX Rpi5/Rpi4 64 bit based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” with LXQt 2.2, kernel 6.17.0-1003-raspi and Firefox with DRM support :: Build 260114

Posted on January 14, 2026 by exton

NEWS 260114 about RaspEX with LXQt based on upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon 
RaspEX Build 260114 is a Linux ARM (64 bit) system for Raspberry Pi 5 with 4GB/8GB and Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB/4GB/8GB RAM.  It is based on Debian and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Firefox Browser with DRM (Digital Rights Management) support is pre-installed.

Study all installed packages in RaspEX Build 260114.

RASPBERRY Pi 5 and 4
RaspEX is made especially for the “new” Raspberry Pi 5 released October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB), but can also be used on a Raspberry Pi 4.
NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

ABOUT Snaps
I have removed all snaps and snapd (The snap daemon) altogether from RaspEX following the advice’s here. The main reason for that was that the RaspEX image became too big with snaps installed.

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.

More about RaspEX
RaspEX is a full Linux Desktop system with LXQt (which is the product of the merge between LXDE-Qt, an initial Qt flavour of LXDE, and Razor-qt, a project aiming to develop a Qt based desktop environment with similar objectives as the current LXQt) with many other useful programs pre-installed. Firefox is used as Web Browser and Synaptic as Package Manager. You can use Synaptic to install any extra packages you may need. For example LibreOffice. RaspEX uses Ubuntu’s software repositories so you can install thousands of extra packages if you want.

Kernel
Kernel 6.17.0-1003-raspi for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4.

How do I install RaspEX in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded .xz file raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-26.04-lxqt-2800mb-260114.raw.xz) and transfer the IMAGE file (raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-26.04-lxqt-8000mb-260114.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16GB. For that you shall use Rufus in Windows. It will look like this.

How do I install RaspEX in Linux?
You can of course also install RaspEX in any Linux system using the dd command. Just open up at terminal and run the following command (as root):
dd if=raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-26.04-lxqt-8000mb-260114.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Without unpacking raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-26.04-lxqt-2800mb-260114.raw.xz you can use this command in any Linux system: xzcat raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-26.04-lxqt-2800mb-260114.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
NOTE: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data). 

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 140 MB/s. Also SanDisk MicroSD Ultra 128GB Class 10. Write speed up to 140 MB/s. NOTE: If you can’t run RaspEX at all you should try with a new “better” card.

How do I use RaspEX?
When you start up your Raspberry Pi 5 or 4 with RaspEX installed you will (after a few seconds) end up at LightDM‘s Login Page. Log in as user raspex with password raspex. When logged in as raspex you can use Sudo to become root. Examples: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm-qt. The password for root (superuser) is root. You can also log in as root (“other”) to the LXQt Desktop from LightDM’s Login Page.

When logged in as the ordinary root your Desktop will look like this.

Expand the filesystem on the SD card
If you install many new big programs and/or download large files (for example videos) you may run out of space on the SD card. That is best fixed by running the following command: sudo raspi-config. Click on “Advanced Options” and choose A1 Expand Filesystem.
NOTE: That’s all you have to do. Just wait for the script to fix everything. If you use a SD card of 64 GB all the space on it will be used afterwards. Watch a screenshot when raspi-config is running.

Create a SWAP file
Run the command sudo dphys-swapfile setup
A SWAP file of 1 GB will be created. Then run the command dphys-swapfile swapon Very useful if you want to run many programs at the same time. If you forget to run said command a SWAP file of 1 GB will be created automatically after a reboot.

Error no_pubkey when trying to upgrade the system
When you run the command sudo apt-get update it can happen that you can’t update the sources due to missing pub_keys. The solution is to run the following commands.
$ cd /var/lib/apt
$ sudo mv lists lists.old
$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
$ sudo apt update

Wireless connections
The new Raspberry Pi 5/4 has “built in” 802.11n Wireless LAN.

RaspArch Rpi5 Build 260111 :: Run Arch Linux (aarch64) with LXQt 2.3 and kernel 6.18.4-1-rpi-16k on your Raspberry Pi 5 computer :: Install using Rufus or Etcher in Windows!

Posted on January 11, 2026 by exton

rasparch-logoRaspArch Build 260111 for the “new” Raspberry Pi 5 (released on October 23, 2023)

RaspArch Build 260111 is a “ready-to-go” ARM (aarch64/arm64) system. It can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5 computer. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 260111. The Desktop Environment is LXQt 2.3. You can log in to LXQt from SLiM as the normal user archpi or as root.

RASPBERRY Pi 5
This RaspArch version is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5 released on October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB).
NOTE1: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.
NOTE2: You can only run version 260111 on a Rpi5.

Install RaspArch to the SD card using Rufus in Windows
This version can be installed in Windows using Rufus, Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher. Previous versions could only be installed when running a Linux system. Using Rufus or Win32 Disk Imager has one disadvantage though. Only about 2GB can be used as data storage no matter which card you use. The system is of 5.4GB and the system partition of 7.5GB. If you use a card of 128GB most will be unused. A few years ago a member on this site wrote about how to get rid of the storage limit after Rufus, Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher has been used:
– write the image with Rufus
– start up Ubuntu or another Linux system – you can also use a Linux Live CD/USB stick
– start GParted – screenshot before resizing
– screenshot during resizing
– resize the DATA (/dev/sdb2 ext4) partition – screenshot after resizing
– done!
This screenshot shows that RaspArch now has about 113GB free storage.
NOTE (very important): You should do the resizing directly after you have transferred the image to your SD card. That is if you don’t think that about 2GB (7.5GB – 5.4GB) is enough for new installations etc.

Writing the image using Rufus. See the screenshot below.

INSTALL in Linux
Running a Linux System (any) you shall use this command: sudo dd if=rasparch-rpi5-exton-8000mb-260111.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
NOTE: Change /dev/sdX to /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
Check it carefully so you won’t lose data.

KERNEL
The Arch Linux original kernel 6.18.4-1-rpi-16k for Rpi5.

Log in to LXQt 2.3
After the boot process is ready you will end up at SLiM‘s login page. Log in as the ordinary user archpi with password raspberry or as root with password root. While logged in as archpi you can use Sudo to become root. Example command: sudo su.

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

More about RaspArch
When you have installed RaspArch to your Micro SD Card you can use the system like any other Arch Linux system. I.e. install new programs etc. Arch motto is KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Program Management in Arch Linux
Arch Linux uses a proprietary system called Pacman. It is similar to that found in CRUX Linux. Read about Pacman.
You can also read all the documentation on Arch Linux. Seven commands are basically the only ones you need to use:
1) pacman -Sy (update the packages database)
2) pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
3) pacman -Syu (upgrading the whole system)
4) pacman -S MyUsefulProgram (the package installation command)
5) pacman -R UnnecessaryProgram (uninstall a package).
6) pacman -S ‐‐overwrite MyUsefulProgram (in case you get an error about “conflicting packages”)
7) pacman -Scc (clean pacman cache)
Very simple!

How do I install RaspArch?
Use Rufus, Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher – see above. Unzip the downloaded file rasparch-rpi5-exton-2720mb-260111.zip. You will get the image file rasparch-rpi5-exton-8000mb-260111.img which is the file you shall install to your micro SD card.

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 140 MB/s. Also SanDisk MicroSD Ultra 128GB Class 10. Write speed up to 140 MB/s. NOTE: If you can’t run RaspArch at all you should try with a new “better” card.

Wireless connections
Just use NetworkManager Applet, add your password and connect.

Installing/using Samba
A way to reach your Windows computers in your home network is to install Samba. Command: pacman -S samba gvfs gvfs-smb sshfs
Then start Samba with the command systemctl start smb.service nmb.service
After that you can connect to your Windows computers via PCManFM-qt – watch this screenshot. (My Raspberry Pi 5 running RaspArch is connected to one of my computers in my home network).
NOTE: Samba is already installed and configured in RaspArch Build 260111. Just run the command sudo systemctl enable smb.service nmb.service. You may have to reboot your Rpi5 before you can use Samba.

Sound in RaspArch
In Build 260111 I’ve installed alsa-utils, PulseAudio and Pavucontrol. The sound works very well also when logged in as root.

WHO should run Arch Linux/RaspArch?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

BENEFITS of Arch Linux/RaspArch
“Cutting Edge”-software and speed. A member on this site recently wrote this about RaspArch: I’ve used Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu & Arch. I prefer Arch. Ubuntu is easier to install, Arch is easier to keep up to date. You do not go through big, painful, changes every year instead you just update, once in a while, make changes if instructed. Arch has most of the benefits of Gentoo without the pain of recompiling _everything_. When you do need to build a package in Arch its painless especially if you use one of the tools that support AUR (I like Yay). Arch avoids the politics of Debian and Ubuntu and delivers a great Linux distribution. RaspArch now brings these advantages to the Pi 4. I.e. that was before Raspberry Pi 5 was released…

Study all installed packages in RaspArch…

PERFORMANCE
Everything works! The System is responsive and quite fast. The sound and video performance is very good. Especially when logged in as the ordinary user archpi.

TOTALLY UNIQUE
There is no other (good) Arch Linux ARM System for Raspberry Pi 5 (as far as I know). Not for downloading anyhow.

SCREENSHOTS
Screenshot 1 of RaspArch’s Desktop – logged in as archpi
Screenshot 2 of RaspArch’s Desktop – logged in as root
Screenshot 3 – running a 4k YouTube video with very good video quality
Screenshot 4 – showing that OpenGL is used
Screenshot 5 – running a video in VLC (not pre-installed) with very good video quality

exGENT (Gentoo) Rpi5 for Raspberry Pi 5 with LXDE, NetworkManager, Firefox and kernel 6.12.62-v8-16k+ :: An unique Build 251228

Posted on December 28, 2025 by exton

ABOUT exGENT Rpi5
I’ve built a Gentoo system for Raspberry Pi 5. Just for fun, but it took me four days to compile everything from “scratch”. exGENT Rpi5 is a full Gentoo/Linux Desktop system with LXDE (an extremely fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment). Study all other included packages in exGENT Rpi5. The most important apps are NetworkManager and Firefox. 

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.
Read more about Raspberry Pi…
NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

REPLACEMENT
exGENT Rpi5 is a replacement for exGENT Rpi4 from 200410 (!?). The performance is much better on a Rpi5. You can also run exGENT Rpi5 Build 251228 on a Rpi4. Just replace /boot/config.txt (on the boot partition) with this file.

KERNEL
Kernel 6.12.62-v8-16k+ is used when running on a Rpi5.
Kernel 6.12.64-v8+ is used when running on a Rpi4.

PERFORMANCE
The system is quite fast and responsive. All included applications work very well.

How do I install exGENT Rpi5 in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded raw.xz file (exgent-rpi5-64bit-lxde-1000mb-251228.raw.xz) and transfer the IMAGE file (exgent-rpi5-64bit-lxde-1000mb-251228.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16 GB. For that you shall use Rufus 4.11 in Windows. It will look like this – see below. NOTE: The .raw.xz file is of 1000 MB. The .raw file is of 6050 MB. Before using Rufus you’ll have to change the file extension from .raw to .img.



How do I install exGENT Rpi5 in Linux?
You can of course also install exGENT Rpi5 in any Linux system. Just open up at terminal and run the following command (as root):
xzcat exgent-rpi5-64bit-lxde-1000mb-251228.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
Note: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data).

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 140 MB/s. Also SanDisk MicroSD Ultra 128GB Class 10. Write speed up to 170 MB/s. NOTE: If you can’t run exGENT Rpi5 at all you should try with a new “better” card.

How do I use exGENT Rpi5?
When you start up your Raspberry Mini computer with exGENT Rpi5 you will (after a few seconds) end up at SLiM‘s login page. Log in as the ordinary user pi or as root (admin). The password for pi is raspberry. When logged in as pi you can use Sudo to become root. Example: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm. The password for root (superuser) is root. You can log out from LXDE and log in again as root (if you want). 

First thing to do after installation to your SD card
Run the command sudo sh /root/resize_rootfs.sh
After that all the space on the SD card will be used. If you look at Conky‘s window (system monitor) in the upper left corner you can see that you only have about 800 MB free space before resizing. Watch this screenshot when the resize command is used.

WiFi
Very simple. Just give your password and connect. You’ll find the NetworkManager applet to the right in the panel.

SOUND
You will have excellent HDMI sound without doing anything. Also when running exGENT as root.

DISPLAY
I’m using a display of 3440×1440. You can of course use a smaller or a bigger monitor.

UPGRADE the System
The exGENT Rpi5 System (Build 251228) is in very good shape, since I, without problems, have been able to update the whole system with the following commands:

# emerge ‐‐ask ‐‐update ‐‐newuse ‐‐deep ‐‐with-bdeps=y @world
# emerge ‐‐depclean
# revdep-rebuild

NOTE 1: Before running the above three commands you’ll have to run the commands emerge ‐‐sync followed by emerge ‐‐oneshot portage

NOTE 2: You should run the above commands at least every month (to keep the system in good shape).

WHO should run Gentoo Linux/exGENT Rpi5?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

Is exGENT Rpi5 UNIQUE?
I believe so. In any case you can’t find another Gentoo System for Raspberry Pi 5 for downloading.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The Desktop for root
2. The Desktop for pi
3. Resizing the rootfs
4. YouTube is running
5. Running on a Rpi4

DOWNLOAD – exgent-rpi5-64bit-lxde-1000mb-251228.raw.xz from SourceForge.net

exGENT Rpi5 can also be downloaded from The Swedish Linux Society

FedEX Rpi5 (Fedora 43 ARM64) for Raspberry Pi5 and Pi4 with GNOME 49 :: Build 251215

Posted on December 15, 2025 by exton

FedEX Rpi5 for Raspberry Pi5 and 4 is a “remaster” of the Fedora Project’s Fedora 43 Workstation build for ARM64 (aarch64).

REPLACEMENT
My previous version of FedEX from 250105 was also made for Raspberry Pi5.

ABOUT
FedEX Rpi5 uses the GNOME 49 Desktop. (As the original system does). The original Fedora 43 ARM64 system can only run a Raspberry Pi4 computer. You may be able to start it on a Rpi5, but you can’t make the keyboard and mouse work. My Build works very well on a Raspberry Pi5 computer though. You can also run FedEX Rpi5 on a Rpi4 computer. Your Raspberry Pi computer will automatically choose the correct kernel at boot.

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

Study all installed packages in FedEX fc43…

USED KERNEL
6.12.56-1.rpi5-fc43.aarch64

PERFORMANCE
The system is quite fast and responsive. All included applications work very well.

INSTALLATION of FedEX in Windows
In Windows you can use Rufus for installation of fedex-rpi5-fc43-gnome-aarch64-2180mb-251215.img to a SD card of at least 64GB. The image file is of 30GB. (Not 2180 mb). You will first download fedex-rpi5-fc43-gnome-aarch64-2180mb-251215.raw.xz. Unpack it with 7-Zip. You will then get fedex-rpi5-fc43-gnome-aarch64-2180mb-251215.raw. Change the file ending to .img before installing with Rufus.
NOTE: You MUST use a SD card of at least 64GB. There is not enough space on a card of 32GB. Be sure also to unpack the downloaded file (fedex-rpi5-fc43-gnome-aarch64-2180mb-251215.raw.xz) on a partition which is big enough. When unpacked the raw file is of 30 GB!!!

INSTALLATION of FedEX in Linux
In Linux you can/shall use the dd-command. This is the command to use: xzcat fedex-rpi5-fc43-gnome-aarch64-2180mb-251215.raw.xz | dd status=progress bs=4M of=/dev/sdX
NOTE1: Everything in red on one line.
Change /dev/sdX to (for example) /dev/sdb. Check it carefully to avoid data losses.
NOTE2: You MUST use a SD card of at least 64GB. There is not enough space for FedEX on a card of 32GB.

Resize the root partition
After the installation of FedEX to a SD card of 64GB you can see that there is an unused space of 29 GB. The space to use for new apps etc. is of 22 GB. If you don’t think that is enough you can use GParted in a Linux System to resize the root partition (btrfs). See
below how it looks when GParted is running.

LOGIN to GNOME 49
When the boot process is ready you will end up at the GDM Login Site. Log in to the Gnome Desktop as the ordinary user pi with password raspberry or as root (Superuser) with password root. When logged in as pi you can use Sudo to become root. Example: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm.

SOUND in FedEX
When logged in as the ordinary user pi you will have HDMI audio output. When logged in as root you won’t have sound. You can’t run PulseAudio as root.

WiFi
Works very well. Just give you Network password and connect.

INSTALLING or removing packages in FedEX/Fedora
Basically you’ll only need to use four commands:
1) sudo dnf upgrade ‐‐refresh (upgrade the whole system)
2) sudo dnf install MyNecessaryProgram
3) sudo dnf remove MyUnnecessaryProgram
4) sudo dnf clean all
NOTE1: All packages are up to date as of 251215. Watch this screenshot… 
NOTE2: You’ll have 22GB for new installations (without resizing the ROOT partition on the SD-card). So you can install a lot of new packages if you want.

UPGRADE TO FEDORA 44?
You can upgrade the System to upcoming fc44 already (if you want). Just run the following two commands:
1) sudo dnf system-upgrade download ‐‐refresh ‐‐releasever=44
2) sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
Fedora 44 will be released in a STABLE version in April or May 2026.

WHO SHOULD RUN FedEX Rpi5 for Raspberry Pi5 and 4?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The Desktop for the ordinary user pi
2. The Desktop for root
3. Running YouTube showing very good video quality
4. Running dnf upgrade 251215

DOWNLOAD
FedEX Rpi5 can be downloaded from SourceForge.net – Fast, secure and free downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory.

More about RaspEX
RaspEX is a full Linux Desktop system with LXQt (which is the product of the merge between LXDE-Qt, an initial Qt flavour of LXDE, and Razor-qt, a project aiming to develop a Qt based desktop environment with similar objectives as the current LXQt) with many other useful programs pre-installed. Firefox is used as Web Browser and Synaptic as Package Manager. You can use Synaptic to install any extra packages you may need. For example LibreOffice. RaspEX uses Ubuntu’s software repositories so you can install thousands of extra packages if you want.

Kernel
Kernel 6.8.0-1031-raspi for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4.

How do I install RaspEX in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded ZIP file raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-24.04-lxqt-2930mb-250804.zip) and transfer the IMAGE file (raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-24.04-lxqt-8000mb-250804.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16GB. For that you shall use Rufus 4.7 in Windows. It will look like this.

How do I install RaspEX in Linux?
You can of course also install RaspEX in any Linux system using the dd command. Just open up at terminal and run the following command (as root):
dd if=raspex-rpi5-64bit-ubuntu-24.04-lxqt-8000mb-250804.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Note: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data).

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 95 MB/s. Also SanDisk MicroSD Ultra 128GB Class 10. Write speed up to 100 MB/s. NOTE: If you can’t run RaspEX at all you should try with a new “better” card.

How do I use RaspEX?
When you start up your Raspberry Pi 5 or 4 with RaspEX installed you will (after a few seconds) end up at SDDM‘s Login Page. Log in as user raspex with password raspex. When logged in as raspex you can use Sudo to become root. Examples: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm-qt. The password for root (superuser) is root. You can’t log in as root to the LXQt Desktop from SDDM’s Login Page.

When logged in as the ordinary user raspex your Desktop will look like this.

Expand the filesystem on the SD card
If you install many new big programs and/or download large files (for example videos) you may run out of space on the SD card. That is best fixed by running the following command: sudo raspi-config. Click on “Advanced Options” and choose A1 Expand Filesystem.
NOTE: That’s all you have to do. Just wait for the script to fix everything. If you use a SD card of 64 GB all the space on it will be used afterwards. Watch a screenshot when raspi-config is running.

Create a SWAP file
Run the command sudo dphys-swapfile setup
A SWAP file of 1 GB will be created. Then run the command dphys-swapfile swapon Very useful if you want to run many programs at the same time. If you forget to run said command a SWAP file of 1 GB will be created automatically after a reboot.

Error no_pubkey when trying to upgrade the system
When you run the command sudo apt-get update it can happen that you can’t update the sources due to missing pub_keys. The solution is to run the following commands.
$ cd /var/lib/apt
$ sudo mv lists lists.old
$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
$ sudo apt update

Wireless connections
The new Raspberry Pi 5/4 has “built in” 802.11n Wireless LAN.

RaspEX Kodi 64 bit – especially made for the new Raspberry Pi 5 – with the LXQt 2.1 Desktop and Kodi 21.2 “Omega” :: Build 250730

Posted on July 30, 2025 by exton

NEWS 250730 about RaspEX Kodi 64-bit
I’ve made a new version of RaspEX Kodi 64-bit. This version is based on Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) and Debian Trixie (upcoming Debian 13). The LXDE Desktop is replaced with LXQt , which has a more “modern look” than LXDE. Historically, LXQt is the product of the merge between LXDE-Qt, an initial Qt flavour of LXDE, and Razor-qt, a project aiming to develop a Qt based desktop environment with similar objectives as the current LXQt. In RaspEX Kodi Build 250730 I’ve upgraded Kodi to version 21.2 Omega, which was released 250119. You can now much easier install extra repositories. Read about the best Kodi repos 2025.

INSTALLED PACKAGES in Build 250730
Study all installed packages in Build 250730…

REPLACEMENT
This RaspEX Kodi Build (250730) replaces all previous versions of RaspEX Kodi. You can only run this new version on a Rpi5.

RASPBERRY Pi 5
RaspEX Kodi is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5 released October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB). You cannot run it on a Raspberry Pi 4 or any other Raspberry Pi model than Rpi5.

NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

PERFORMANCE
RaspEX Kodi is now very fast and responsive. And the video performance is brilliant. Almost as good as if you use a new “big” computer.

History
My first version of RaspEX Kodi from 190124 was a replacement for RaspEX Kodi with OSMC, which was released 190117. Sam Nazarko (founder of OSMC) contacted me 190118 claiming that I was “violating” his rights to the trademark OSMC and the rules in GPLv2. I don’t think I did, but I’m also very tired. Therefore I made a new version (190124) of RaspEX Kodi without any traces of OSMC. I would say that all my later versions of RaspEX Kodi are as good as the old one from 190117. I.e. excellent video and sound performance both in Kodi and LXQt. For version 190124 I charged 9 $. My new versions (210829/2103017210211/210205/210904/220218/240215/250730) can be downloaded for free from SourceForge.net. People should not refrain from downloading RaspEX Kodi because of the money issue. I want all Linux and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts to enjoy the system. It runs very well on a the Raspberry Pi 5  (i.e. fast and responsive) with 4GB or 8GB RAM – released October 23, 2023. 
NOTE: All previous versions of RaspEX Kodi are replaced by version 250730.

How do I install RaspEX Kodi in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded ZIP file raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.2-lxqt-2810mb-250730.zip) and transfer the IMAGE file (raspex-raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.2-lxqt-8000mb-250730.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16GB. For that you shall use Rufus 4.7 in Windows.



How do I install RaspEX Kodi in Linux?
You can of course also install RaspEX in any Linux system using the dd command. Just open up at terminal and run the following command (as root):
dd if=raspex-raspex-rpi5-64bit-kodi-21.2-lxqt-8000mb-250730.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Note: Change /dev/sdX to for example /dev/sdc, /dev/sde or…
(Check it carefully before you run the above command so you won’t lose important data).

Log in to LXQt or Kodi
After the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM‘s login screen. It will look like this – see below. Log in as user pi with password raspberry. You can run Kodi on the LXQt Desktop like any other program or run it in full screen. Just change Kodi’s Settings from Windowed to Fullscreen. Watch this screenshot. You cannot log in as root (superadmin).  The password for root is root (if you should ever need it).

Expand the filesystem on the SD card
If you install many new big programs and/or download large files (for example videos) you may run out of space on the SD card. That is best fixed by running the following command: sudo raspi-config. Click on “Advanced Options” and choose A1 Expand Filesystem – watch this screenshot…
NOTE: That’s all you have to do. Just wait for the script to fix everything. If you use a SD card of 64 GB all the space on it will be used afterwards.

API and Authentication keys
Google and Netflix make it more and more difficult to use the YouTube and Netflix add-ons in Kodi. They demand API and Authentication keys. To create the API key and make it work can be rather complicated. I’ve found two good instructions for it though.
1) Instruction 1
2) Instruction 2
IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Some (most) Add-ons need the YouTube Add-on to work. So I simply had to make YouTube work. Finally I managed to make the API keys work permanently. I have thus included the YouTube Add-on in RaspEX Kodi.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: For Kodi to work you’ll have to run two commands:
1) sudo chown -R pi:pi .kodi
2) sudo chown -R pi:pi .kodi/*
Watch this screenshot…
If you don’t run the just mentioned commands Kodi will crash.

INSTALL EXTRA REPOSITORIES in Kodi
Read about the best Kodi repos in July 2025. I’ve tried some. The best one is Scrubs V2. Read about how to install Scrubs V2…

WiFi connections
Go to Menu >> Preferences >> Advanced Network Configuration and add your credentials. Then run the command sudo dhclient wlan0 (to get an IP-address).
Watch this screenshot.

Used kernel
Kernel 6.12.40-exton-v8-16k+ (for Rpi5).
NOTE: Build 250730 can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The LXQt Desktop running as user pi
2. Expanding the filesystem
3. RaspEX Kodi 21.2 system info
4. Kodi running showing some Add-ons (including YouTube)
5. Synaptic running in LXQt 2.1

RaspAnd 16 (Android 16) for Raspberry Pi 5 with GAPPS (Google Play Store), Spotify and Bluetooth pre-installed ::: Build 250716

Posted on July 16, 2025 by exton

ABOUT RaspAnd 16 – Build 250716 – with GAPPS
RaspAnd 16 runs very well on a Raspberry Pi 5. I.e. the system is pretty responsive if you use a micro SD card of good quality. RaspAnd 16 has the following apps pre-installed: GAPPS (Google Play Store and other Google apps) and Spotify.  Once you have configured Google Play Store you can install the apps you want/prefer.

RaspAnd 16 Build 260314 is ready!

MOST IMPORTANT NEWS IN BUILD 260314
You CAN run Netflix in RaspAnd 16, Build 260314, which you can’t in Build 250716. You can also install and run Viaplay and HBO Max. Probably also most other “movie streaming” apps.

RASPBERRY Pi 5
RaspAnd 16 is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5 released on October 23, 2023 (4GB and 8GB). You can’t run RaspAnd 16 on another Raspberry Pi model than Pi 5.
NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

ABOUT Android 16, which was released 250610…
Read also an article about The Evolution of Android  – List of Android Versions and Release Dates. As you can see Android 16 is the latest stable version of Android.

PLEASE NOTE that you must be aware of the fact that the Raspberry Pi 5 computer has its limitations and that Android 16 is a very advanced Linux system. Having said that I must also say that the apps I have included in this Build (see above) work very well. The max screen resolution is 1920×1080. I think.

NOTE also that you’ll have to register “your device” (i.e. your Rpi5) before you can log in to Google Play Store. Please read my instructions below about how to register so that your device will be Play Protect Certified. I have changed the instructions 260204.

About Raspberry Pi 5
This build (RaspAnd 16 250716) works very well on the new Raspberry Pi 5 . I used the latest model with 8GB RAM, but you can of course use the other models too.

Startup of RaspAnd 16 Build 250716
The first thing you will see on the screen is this boot animation.

If you do not see this animation you haven’t installed RaspAnd correctly on the SD card. (Please use Rufus in Windows for the installation to the SD Card). The first boot is a bit slow. (Can take a few minutes). Next boot will be faster.

Instructions about how to register so that your device will be Play Protect Certified
First things to do after booting RaspAnd 16:
1. After a few minutes you will reach the Desktop – screenshot 1
2. You should then immediately connect to your WiFi Network – screenshot 2
3. Start the app Device Info again and write down the GSF ID –  screenshot 3
4. When you try to start Google Play Store you will get a message saying that This device isn’t Play Protect certified. Google apps and services can’t run on this device – screenshot 3
5. Now you will have to go to this site and register your device. Here you shall fill in the GSF ID you wrote down before and click on Registrera (Swedish for Register) – screenshot 4.
6. Restart your Rpi5 after a successful registration. Click on the power button in the menu up to the right and hold your finger there until you see the alternatives Restart and Power off – screenshot 5. When back to the Desktop you will have to wait a while Google Play is updating . You will then be able to log in to your Google account – screenshot 5. If not try again!
7. Finally you can enjoy Google Play Store – screenshot 6. Start with installing Microsoft Launcher (for example). You can install and run many “big” games. For example Asphalt 8 and Hunting Clash. NOTE: Unfortunately many big games need a touchscreen. While running Asphalt 8 you can maneuver the car with the keyboard though. While running Hunting Clash you can also use the keyboard.

ANOTHER WAY TO REGISTER YOUR DEVICE
If you can’t make Google Play Store work the way I describe above (1 -7) you can try this approach.
1. Reinstall RaspAnd 16 to your SD card
2. Connect to your WiFi Network – screenshot 1
3. Go to Settings > Google and sign in with you Gmail account – screenshot 2
4. Start the app Device Info and write down the GSF ID –  screenshot 3
5. Now you will have to go to this site and register your device. Here you shall fill in the GSF ID you wrote down before and click on Registrera (Swedish for Register) – screenshot 4
6. Reboot!
Start the Google Play Store app. Try again if it does not work the first time. You may also have to reboot a second time.

My sources
You can find my sources for RaspAnd 16 here. Following those instructions you can build your own “RaspAnd” system.

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

About sound
HDMI sound works very well in this RaspAnd build.

MORE NEWS 250716 ABOUT RaspAnd 16
RaspAnd 16 can be installed to a Micro SD card (preferable a class 10 card) in Windows 11/10 using Rufus, Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher. You can alternatively (of course) use the dd-command in a Linux system. Unzip the downloaded file raspand-android-16-rpi5-gapps-1210mb-250716.zip. Then open a terminal and run the command dd if=raspand-android-16-rpi5-gapps-14300mb-250716.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4MiB
(Change X to b, d or…).
NOTE: You really don’t have to unzip. While using Rufus or Etcher you can install directly from the zip-file.

Using Rufus in Windows it will look like this.

Different Micro SD Cards
For best performance you should use SD Cards of good quality. I can recommend Samsung MicroSD Pro Plus 32GB Class 10. Write speed up to 95 MB/s. Also Samsung MicroSD EVO 16GB Class 10. Write speed up to 48 MB/s. Price 47 $ respectively 10 $ (in Sweden).

Kernel
Kernel 6.12.30 is used in RaspAnd 16 Build 250716 – screenshot…

After boot – first Desktop
Your desktop can look like this if you use the Microsoft Launcher (not pre-installed). You can install another launcher via Google Play to use instead of Microsoft Launcher. One of the best is Computer Launcher Pro. You can also choose Quickstep, which is preinstalled – watch this screenshot (your first Desktop). Quickstep is the default launcher for Android devices.

Screen resolution
The max screen resolution is 1920×1080 according to my experience. You can experiment with other resolutions if you want.

Spotify
The Spotify app works very well. Watch this screenshot when Spotify is running.

Netflix
You can’t run Netflix in RaspAnd 16, which is rooted. The Netflix app works very well in my RaspAnd 11 build, which isn’t rooted. (You can’t run Netflix on rooted devices).

WiFi support
The newer versions of RaspAnd has excellent support for WiFi (on Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3 Model B and Model B+). Previous problems with the WiFi connection are gone. I.e. the WiFi connection will automatically be re-established after every reboot. Just go to Settings/Network and connect. Watch this screenshot.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth works very well in this RaspAnd 16 build. I.e. you can send and receive files without problems. Watch this screenshot showing the pairing process with my Android phone. I haven’t tried other Bluetooth functions.

PERFORMANCE
Everything works! The System is responsive and quite fast.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The Desktop with GAPPS (Google Play Store) – first screen after boot
2. The Desktop using Microsoft Launcher – not pre-installed
3. Asphalt8 running – not pre-installed
4. Google Play Store running
5. Spotify running
6. YouTube running showing the video quality
7. Running AIDA64 showing System info
8. Installing Hunting Clash in Google Play Store
9. The Desktop using Smart Launcher
10. The Desktop using Niagara Launcher (possibly the best one) – not pre-installed

FedEX Rpi5 (Fedora 41 ARM64) for Raspberry Pi 5 and Pi 4 with GNOME 47 :: Build 250105

Posted on January 5, 2025 by exton

FedEX Rpi5 for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4 is a “remaster” of the Fedora Project’s Fedora 41 Workstation build for ARM64 (aarch64).

REPLACEMENT
My previous version of FedEX from 2018 (!) was made for Raspberry Pi 3.

ABOUT
FedEX Rpi5 uses the GNOME 47 Desktop. (As the original system does). The original Fedora 41 ARM64 system can only run a Raspberry Pi 4 computer. You may be able to start it on a Rpi 5, but you can’t make the keyboard and mouse work. My Build works very well on a Raspberry Pi 5 computer though. You can also run FedEX Rpi5 on a Rpi 4 computer if you switch /boot/config.txt to /boot/config-rpi4.txt. Watch this screenshot…

What is Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.
Read more about Raspberry Pi…
NOTE: A Raspberry Pi 5 is about twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4.

USED KERNEL
6.6.62-1-rpi4.fc41.aarch64

PERFORMANCE
The system is quite fast and responsive. All included applications work very well.

INSTALLATION of FedEX in Windows
In Windows you can use Rufus for installation of fedex-rpi5-fc41-gnome-aarch64-30gb-250105.img to a SD card of at least 64GB. The image file is of 30GB. You will first download fedex-rpi5-fc41-gnome-aarch64-1900mb-250105.raw.xz. Unpack it with 7-Zip. You will then get fedex-rpi5-fc41-gnome-aarch64-1900mb-250105.raw. Change the file ending to .img before installing with Rufus.
NOTE: You MUST use a SD card of at least 64GB. There is not enough space on a card of 32GB. Be sure also to unpack the downloaded file (fedex-rpi5-fc41-gnome-aarch64-1900mb-250105.raw.xz) on a partition which is big enough. When unpacked the file is of 30 GB!!!

INSTALLATION of FedEX in Linux
In Linux you can/shall use the dd-command. This is the command to use: xzcat fedex-rpi5-fc41-gnome-aarch64-1900mb-250105.raw.xz | dd status=progress bs=4M of=/dev/sdX
NOTE1: Everything in red on one line.
Change /dev/sdX to (for example) /dev/sdb. Check it carefully to avoid data losses.
NOTE2: You MUST use a SD card of at least 64GB. There is not enough space for FedEX on a card of 32GB.

LOGIN to GNOME 47
When the boot process is ready you will end up at the GDM Login Site. Log in to the Gnome Desktop as the ordinary user pi with password raspberry or as root (Superuser) with password root. When logged in as pi you can use Sudo to become root. Example: sudo su and sudo thunar.
NOTE: When you start up FedEX Rpi5 for the first time you MAY have to reboot before you can log in to GNOME 47.

SOUND in FedEX
When logged in as the ordinary user pi you will have HDMI audio output. When logged in as root you won’t have sound. You can’t run PulseAudio as root.

WiFi
Works very well. Just give you Network password and connect.

INSTALLING or removing packages in FedEX/Fedora
Basically you’ll only need to use four commands:
1) sudo dnf update (upgrade the whole system)
2) sudo dnf install MyNecessaryProgram
3) sudo dnf remove UnnecessaryProgram
4) sudo dnf clean all
NOTE: All packages are up to date as of 250105. Watch this screenshot…

WHO SHOULD RUN FedEX Rpi5 for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

SCREENSHOTS
1. The Desktop for the ordinary user pi
2. The Desktop for root
3. Running YouTube showing very good video quality
4. Running dnf update 250105

DOWNLOAD
FedEX Rpi5 can be downloaded from SourceForge.net – Fast, secure and free downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory.
