https://www.asus.com/uk/Single-Board-Com..._Download/

nth time.. we live & learn.. ;-]..
this time.. back to wire LAN.. with fixed IP...

used clean SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Memory Card..

format on windows 10.. with SDfomatter.. select Overwrite format.. from options..

make TinkerOS_Android 7 Nougat V14.1.2.50 image on SD with Etcher..

connect usb Logitech M570 Wireless Mouse Trackball..

connect usb Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touch Pad.. needed only for recovery.. Wipe Cache Partition.. 

connect HDMI to LG 27UD68P-B 4k monitor.. set to.. [1920 x 1080 @ 60hz]..
wating for Hanns.G HT225HPB 21.5" LED Multi-Touch Screen Monitor.. ;-]..

connect power NorthPada Raspberry Pi 3 Model B B+ / ASUS Tinker Board Power Supply AC Charger Adapter 5V 3A Micro USB 5 Feet with Power On / Off Switch
(Aukru Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Power Supply Adapter 5V 3A Micro USB Charger with On Off Power Switch) ..alternative.. not tested yet...

power on & first boot...

set auto rotate to landscape..

set Display settings now.. as display menu might stop working ;-[..
Note.. in [Settings].. the Display menu.. says Adaptive brightness is OFF..
but.. when you go into Display menu.. there is no way to set Adaptive brightness.. ?
set [Sleep].. to 5 minutes.. [Screen saver].. ON.. set to Clock and set when to start.. Either..
set [Wallpaper]..click on the picture and then [Set wallpaper].. [Home screen and lock screen]..
make sure [HDMI].. is on.. [HDMI Resolution].. set to 1920x1080p60.00.. [HDMI Rotation].. 0..

set [Languages & input]... I'm in UK.. add UK keyboard and set to top 
Note... don't remove US Keyboard until after first restart...

set [Date & time]... [Automatic date & time].. GMT+1 British Summer Time.. 

set [Ethernet].. setup wired LAN now & connect to network.. this should update time and date.. 
[Settings].. in Wireless & network section click on [More].. [Ethnet].. [Ethnet Ip mode].. [Static]...
then enter details..  IP 192.168.0.46 / GW 192.168.0.1 / NetMask 255.255.255.0 / DNS1 8.8.8.8 DNS2 8.8.4.4

open [Lightning] web browser.. see if network is working ok..

set Home screen App icons.. as you like..

Restart tinker board... see if all your settings hold on reboot..

set [Sound].. set sound volumes.. and make sure [Audio Output].. is set to [HDMI]..
connect StarTech.com Headset adapter & mic...
 
check installed Apps.. But DO NOT run [Calendar].. [Contacts].. or [Email].. Yet..

also I don't have a camera yet setup.. so.. I don't run [Camera] app..
except for the four apps I did not run yet.. all apps working ok.. ;-]..

now leave tinker board on home screen for 15 mins with no keyboard or mouse input 
to see if power management is working ok.. Screen time out.. etc..

##############

first problem.. after 5 mins.. power went off on tinker board ;-[...
no.. keyboard or mouse activity could bring it back on again.. 
so.. I had to manually switch power cable button off/on...

set [Display].. switch [Screen saver].. off.. and try to disable [Sleep]..

I found NO WAY to disable [Sleep].. ;-[.... can not find [Never sleep]..
so.. set [Sleep].. to 30 mins.. and setup [Screen saver].. to clock.. 
and set to work if Docked or Charging...

looks like you might have to Factory Reset.. and to make sure you never set [Sleep]...
Note.. I found the [Display].. menu in [Settings].. would crash on a clean install after about 15 to 20 mins
if you don't set a [Sleep] time & leave it on [Never Sleep].. 
its very strange.. 

update: you might be able to fix Display menu by...

Code:

adb connect 192.168.1.x
adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout          # see current [Sleep time]..
adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 120000   # set [Sleep time]..
adb reboot

How to prevent an android device from entering sleep (via adb command shell)

Code:

adb connect 192.168.1.x
adb shell svc power stayon true

also.. Disabled HDMI control..................................................

Code:

adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_enabled 0
adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_auto_device_off_enabled 0
adb reboot

you can check your settings....
>adb shell settings list global
>adb shell settings list system
>adb shell settings list secure

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or.. if you have enabled [Developer options].. then you can set [Stay awake] option..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

also installed Turn Off Screen (Lock Screen) from Play Store..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...n&hl=en_US
 
since it looks like I'm going to have Reset tinker board.. 
I might as well test to see if [Security].. is working..
ie.. setting up a pin.. will cause [Security].. menu not to open..
so.. enable [Unknown sources].. just in case [Security].. setting page fails to open...
setting PIN lock fails.. and I can not open [Screen lock].. ;-[...
[Screen lock].. just says Swipe... ? when you click it.. it asks for pin..
when you enter pin.. it just crashes out :-[...

do we enable [Developer options].. for now.. no.. do not click on the [Build number] 7 times ;-]..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

apks can be downloaded from apkmirror
=========================
https://www.apkmirror.com

Note.. wait a bit to check to see if you are still getting the play service errors...
if not.. then its time to open the [Play Store]...;-]...

###############################################################################
Note.. if you ever [Factory rest] the tinker board.. 
you might get playservices stopping errors..
and you will have to run >adb install -g -r playservices.apk to fix.. ;-]..
###############################################################################

close all open apps.. [Home].. on home screen.. then [Recent Apps].. Clear All..

clear cache.. [Settings].. [Storage].. click on [Cached data] to clear cached data..

open [Gmail] from applications.. and check its working...
open  the [Play Store].. check [My apps & games].. [INSALLED].. to see its listed.. ]]]]].......
and then check [LIBRARY].. all your previously installed apps.. ;-].. 
################################################################################
Google Play Store Now installed and working with no errors ;-]..
===============================================
I use lnav on laptop to look @ logcat with adb..

Code:

adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb logcat | lnav -t

Note.. you can write logcat log file to laptop using [-w]...

Code:

adb logcat | lnav -t -w k247_tb11_AndN712.log

check.. [Settings].. [Location].. [Mode].. change from device to [High accuracy].. and accept terms..

also check [Backup & reset].. Back up my data is OFF... 
as I have too many tinker boards connected to this account ;-]..

when I was using WiFi only to setup the tinker board.. there were some apps that did not install
from the Play Store.. before I thought it might have been because I was using EtherNet wire LAN..

some of the apps that did not install from Play Store... Fing - Network Tools, Angry Birds2, 
Kore, Official Remote for Kodi, Google Play Movies & TV, BBC iPlayer...

================================================================================
I found that google was stopping install of some apps from the play store..
I had to go to [Settings].. [Google]... [Google Account]... [Security]..
there were Tinker Boards under devices that had to be authorised.. ;-]..
just click on [Yes]... ;-]]]]]]..... also.. waiting 48hrs fixes this..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really wish ASUS will let us change the tinker board device name ;-]]]].......
================================================================================
now all apps are installing from play store..... 

disconnect Wire LAN.. and setup [Wi-Fi].. 
some apps on the play store will only work with Wi-Fi..
so.. better to have setup and ready to use when needed ;-].. 

if you ever get an apps that does not want to install from play store..
you can use the [Lightning].. web browser to download these apks from apkmirror.. 
and make sure [Unknown sources].. is enabled.. from [Security]...
then use the [File Manager] to install them...

its not 100% yet.. but for a 1st release... WHAT A Start.. ;-]...

next>.. try to fix screen lock.. see post[2]
-----------------------------------------------------
some errors from logcat.. 
 E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/password.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
 E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/gatekeeper.gesture.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
 E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/gesture.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
relating to [Security].. Screen PIN lock...

[k247tEK]

fix.. [Screen Lock] menu.. fails to open after PIN / Password is set...

---

[Screen lock].. function is not working.. so.. if you set a pin or pattern.. 
then [Screen lock] will fail to open.. so I left it on swipe for now.. and..

also installed Turn Off Screen (Lock Screen) from Play Store..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...n&hl=en_US
Note.. if you run lock screen function.. and don't move mouse.. then tinker board would shut down..
if you run lock screen function while moving moving mouse..  then tinker board will lock screen and stay on..
this is the same strange behaviour observed when sending tinker board power button key signal to lock Android screen..
[input keyevent 6] or [input keyevent 26]...

Code:

adb connect 192.168.1.x
adb shell input keyevent 26

when I check logcat with lnav... there was errors..
E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/password.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/gatekeeper.gesture.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
E LockSettingsStorage: Cannot read file java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/gesture.key: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
relating to [Security].. Screen PIN lock...

I think the .key files are missing..  or a symbolic link to them is missing.. 8-0....
So I'm going to try to touch them in the shell..  set access permissions to 600.. 
to match locksettings.db...  using... [chmod 600 filename/folder].....
and then see if I can set the PIN or Pattern / Password ;-].....
...see whats in locksettings.db.....

Code:

rk3288:/data/system # sqlite3 locksettings.db

noooo.. joy.. [Screen lock].. still fails to open.. if you try to set PIN / Password...

but.. you can reset [Screen lock].. to swipe.. and disable PIN / Password.. ;-]...

Code:

adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb root
adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb remount
adb shell
cd data/system

now... list all lock and key files in folder with >ls -Fla *lock* *.key..

Code:

rk3288:/data/system # ls -Fla *lock* *.key

-rw-rw---- 1 system system 346112 2018-09-21 23:44 locksettings.db-wal
rk3288:/data/system #

Note.. you can use mv to rename the five files.. 
or.. just rm to delete them and exit shell..

Code:

rm gatekeeper.password.key gatekeeper.pattern.key locksettings.db locksettings.db-shm locksettings.db-wal
exit

clear cache.. [Settings].. [Storage].. click on [Cached data] to clear cached data..
restart tinker board in recovery to  Wipe Cache Partition...

Code:

adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb reboot recovery

Note.. use keyboard arrow keys to selected [Wipe cache partition]... [Yes]...
then... select [reboot system]... ;-]...

when tinker board restarts.. you should be able to just swipe to unlock screen.. and no more PIN / Password ;-]..

Hello,

I try tur run this img, but after startup and unlock the screen it work a short time and it is  getting black, this happens a few times, than the hdmi signal is lost until reboot. The screen work not long enough to make any change.

I used a 16gb sd, 3A power supply

V 13.x runs without problems.

Is there something i could do?

greetings

hello pumuckl,

have you tried to power on the tinker board.. without.. connecting hdmi... 

see.. if power stays on longer than 5mins...

if it does.. then.. it might be the hdmi source.. 
ie.. monitor.. that's sending a sleep signal to tinker board..
but.. tinker board.. is not running sleep function but power down function ;-]]]]]]....

so.. if that's the case.. then you will need a laptop/pc/mac.. with adb installed..
on the same LAN network as the tinker board.. 

if you connect tinker board with wire cable LAN to your network switch.. 
tinker board is.. setup on clean install to get IP from DHCP server.. / ie.. your router ]]]].....
so.. it should have been assigned an IP..
so.. you should find it on you network.. 

open a cmd / terminal.. on laptop/pc/mac.. with adb installed..

Code:

sudo nmap -sn 192.168.X.0/24    ### replace X.. to be same as your network..

ie.. I use..

Code:

sudo nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24

yours might be.. 

Code:

sudo nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-09-24 23:10 BST
...
Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.46
Host is up (0.0012s latency).
MAC Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (Asustek Computer)
...
Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (XX hosts up) scanned in 1.61 seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so.. my tinker board IP is.. 192.168.0.46...

Note.. if you have android device connected on same LAN network..
you can download and install Fing from play store.. ;-]..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...g&hl=en_GB

so.. now that you know what your tinker board IP is.. you can connect to it with adb..
ie... I use..

Code:

adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb root
adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb shell svc power stayon true
adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_enabled 0
adb shell settings put global hdmi_control_auto_device_off_enabled 0
adb reboot

this should stop tinker board from powering down.. 
when tinker board restarts.. connect hdmi..
restart the tinker board again.. ;-]..

Code:

adb connect 192.168.0.46
adb reboot

and then see if that solves you problem with the tinker board powering down.. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hope that helps,
k.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ps.. forgot.. that I also.. Disabled HDMI control.. edit ]]]........
you can check your settings....
>adb shell settings list global
>adb shell settings list system
>adb shell settings list secure
happy tinkering ;-].......................................................................................

@k247tEK
Rather than using a discomfortable nmap, if I were you, I just look the DHCP lease of the server. Which might be your router or any server that provide the lease.
For example:

• when I use my Android phone as AP, I just look which device is connected to it and it will appear with its IP assignment.
  
• When I use my laptop, as DHCP server, I just look to its log to discover which lease had just provided
  
• When I used the wifi router (waiting a new one) I log in to the router and search within LAN details to find the DHCP lease and details.
  

For instance nmap it may take several minute or hours if it needs to discover a wide IP number  and ports. So I discourage its usage.

[k247tEK]

hi Im4Tinker,
thanks for info... 
I just google "how to find ip on network" and went with the first link it gave me..]]]]].......
How to get a list of all valid IP addresses in a local network?..
I have no idea how nmap works... ;-]......
also.. pumuckl, never said what system or OS used [... 
Many thanks,
k.

[Im4Tinker]

I just google "how to find ip on network"

Oh, yeah, I also got into this issue, when someone proposed it on the forum or their web site.
So I thought it was the strangest way to give advice. Instead they had to give which IP to connect, or at least a range to scan.

After one and a-half hour, I stopped the searching and looked for an alternative solution.

[pumuckl]

thx for your support
 
to connect with adb, was not a problem, made a simpl arp scan.
 
I changed the settings as you recommended, but I have still the same Problem.
 
After connect the hdmi cable, I see the login screen, than I log in. The screen is getting black and the screen is coming back for  a short 5-8 times.
Than I have no signal for a few minutes and for a short time a blackscreen, sometimes I see the android screen shortly. but the power is alwas on and it stays connected to adb
 
 
Could you show me how do change the resolution via adb?
I think it is the frequency, causes the problem.
 
I used your img with the playstore, but deleted it, look like it is not available anymore
Now I am using this Release: TinkerOS_Android 7 Nougat V14.1.2.50, from this android Forum.

hi pumuckl,

Change Screen Resolution on Android via ADB 

Code:

adb connect 192.168.1.x
adb shell wm size 1920x1080               #To change resolution into FullHD
adb shell wm density xxx                  #<----- you will have to work out this..
adb shell wm density 81                   #1920x1080 27.15inches ==> 81 dpi
adb reboot

I think it depends on the size of your monitor... I'm not sure.. http://dpi.lv

and for frequency.. I'm still looking for that..  ;-]]]....

also.. do you have usb mouse connected..
if you keep moving mouse.. it might help keep the tinker board from shutting down..

I tested this with clean install TinkerOS_Android 7 Nougat V14.1.2.50..

when I send power button key signal to tinker board..
to Lock Android screen.....

Code:

adb shell input keyevent 6

or

Code:

adb shell input keyevent 26

if I do not move mouse.. when I run >  adb shell input keyevent 26.. tinker board shuts down..
but.. if I keep moving mouse.. and run > adb shell input keyevent 26.. thinker board screen locks and power stays on ]]]...
very strange....

lets.. change some of your settings...
screen_off_timeout=2147483647 ======> screen_off_timeout=120000 or -1 to disable... [Never Sleep] ;-]..
Note.. [-1] NO LONGER WORKS [[[.........................................................................................................
Set system screen off.. Set system screen off as never

Code:

adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout -1

Set system screen off as 15 seconds 

Code:

adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 15000

Set system screen off as 5 mins 

Code:

adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 120000

Set screen backlight as 86

Code:

adb shell settings put system screen_brightness 86

######################################
sleep_timeout=-1 =======>  sleep_timeout=120000
sleep_timeout=-1 =======>  sleep_timeout=0
##################################################################################################
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-set-custo...hout-root/
The numeric values you use in this guide are in milliseconds. The default sleep value is 1200000, which is 20 minutes.
The default screensaver value is 300000, which is 5 minutes. If you select “never” , the screensaver timer gets set to 2147460000,
which is about 24 days. Setting a value of 0 does not disable the screensaver but it does seem to work to disable the sleep timer,
>adb shell settings put secure sleep_timeout 123456789
>adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 123456789
(Remember to change 123456789 to the value in milliseconds that you want to set. Use 0 and 2147460000 to disable the sleep and screensaver timer, respectively.)
####################################################################################################
Stop the Screen Sleep Mode completely : set time out to -1 or 0

Code:

adb shell settings get secure sleep_timeout
adb shell settings put secure sleep_timeout 0

and this ADB command kills the screensaver : set to 0 / will not accept -1 or [2147460000 / display menu will fail to open..] / [org screen_off_timeout=2147483647]

Code:

adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout
adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 120000

--------------------------------
hope that helps,
