Hi
I would like to install android on my cool-pi laptop. I think that will perform much better and I will have GPU acceleration. Currently I have Ubuntu. So far I could not find a android install guide and an android image for cool-pi laptop. Can someone please help me find that.
Thanks
@george Thanks for your reply. Local videos from EMMC play well. I am talking about network videos in browser like youtube. Present driver and software ubuntu 24.04 (older kernel) uses almost 50% of CPU just to play a 1080p video. I have an Orange Pi 5b, that has same processor and GPU running orange pi droid (a version of android). That plays youtube videos with much less resources and runs much faster. I am looking for an android version to run on coolpi notebook. Where can I find that? (i have already tried armabian. but did not like that on coolpi laptop. Android for COM5 does not work)
@mtiqbal I copied a most recent ubuntu image to a USB 2.0 drive then this notebook booted sucessfully. But some drivers are missing. e.g. wifi so I did not transfer that to EMMC.
Android image for CM5 on a USB does not boot up. Where can I find an android image that I can run on CM5 laptop? Thanks
@zehui Thanks a lot for your reply. I downloaded the image. I would like to boot from USB first and try new image before copying that to EEMC. I followed https://forum.cool-pi.com/topic/514/cool-pi-cm5-laptop-linux-quick-start-guide/30 Image is on a USB 3.1 drive. But when I reboot, it boots from EEMC. How can I force this to reboot from USB? Some messages says I have to use a USB 2 drive. Is that correct?
I also downloaded an android image for CM5. I would like to try that on this laptop. Can I burn that on a USB drive and boot from USB drive? How? Thanks
@mainbord Link you provided below and the link on the top of the page ask to log in to one drive account. I have tried two of my one drive accounts both generate errors. I have copied below an error. Please send me a link that does not require log in. (I have also tried incognito mode suggested in the error message. But that also does not work)

Where else can I find coolpi laptop system images?
@Rebel-Rider Thanks a lot. These commands gave significant boost to youtube performance. But 4k video playback is still using almost 100% resources. https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html is not good beyond 500 fishes.
Is latest ubuntu image from coolpi server going to help?
Onedrive share does not let me log in. Biado server is in Chinese and I cannot read that. Where else can I find a system image?
I have another RK3588b SBC running orangepi droid. That is performing much better with less ram. Can I install android on this coolpi notbook ? How? Thanks
I have a COOLPI CM5 open-source notebook. It is running ubuntu 24.04. (older kernel) Ubuntu has no GPU driver. It runs youtube and video extermly slow. Where can I find its GPU driver? How can I install GPU drivers? Thanks. Tariq
Hi
I received a cool-pi open source laptop from Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005977777983.html
It has Ubuntu installed on it. User name is coolpi. What is the password for that account?
Thanks
