Android on the PinePhone: Installing GloDroid

Among the things I did not show on video yet was GloDroid, an AOSP port to (not just) the PinePhone.

No, you won't be able to use the PinePhone like an Android phone with this just yet, as nothing Modem related (LTE, mobile data, telephony) works yet. But it might be fun to try, and maybe there is one Android app you need only rarely, but it does not work well enough with Anbox? This video should enable you to have an SD card with GloDroid as a part of your arsenal.
