Dual boot Beelink mini2 - reboot from Android

Help & Support Installation & Booting
1

I am gotten dual boot working with Beelink mini-2 (s905x3). From cold boot, it will boot to CoreElec. From CoreElec I can choose to reboot or boot to Android ( reboot to emmc/nand ).

That’s totally fine.

But when in Android, a reboot will actually boot back into CoreElec. I would like have a choice of from Android, to reboot back to Android without going through a fully booted CoreElec.

The only way to achieve a reboot from Android back to Android is to eject/remaove the SD Card.

3

There is a reboot option on some Android boxes called “Fast Reboot”. Rebooting with that option
always reboots to Android, even with uSD card inserted.

Btw, Android supports various reboot options: Reboot, Fast Reboot, Reboot to Recovery, Reboot to Bootloader, and Reboot to SafeMode. It’s just a question which ones are enabled by manufacturer…

There is a way to reboot back to Android by editing the aml_autoscript, but it means I have to write an apk to edit the script to boot to Android or CoreElec.

5

This question should be addressed to Beelink. I think that they are working on an Android version that should allow this extra option to reboot to Android rather than CE.

6

It’ simpler to root the box, if it’s not already rooted, and then install “Reboot Manager” app from Store.

7

This bootmenu, is it doable on Amlogic devices ?

8

on my box it’s enough to do reboot and coreelec starts itself, it doesn’t require any additional application

from coreelec is an android is known

i have also rebuilt the rebbot to coreelec app from

1.just reboot.apk
2.reboot to recovery.apk - similar libreelec

I think it is possible to use the appropriate command in the application but I have no idea what this command sounds like

coreelec to android ("/ usr / sbin / rebootfromnand")
android to coreelec (/ ??? /)

My Belink S905X reboots to Android if I chose reboot from nand from shutdown menue
Running Android - after reboot CE starts from SD.
If I want reboot from Android to Android I remove SD card.
I don´t understand what You wanna do ?

I’m investigating various options because the rebot from android to coreelec is a bit slow, and I’m looking for solutions. I don’t know if I will find them in this way, or I will have to look for build.prop modifications.
for fast reboot or quick start

maybe there is a simple command to do it

11

WARNING:
If you don’t know what you are doing, just don’t do it

root required !

just add these 3 lines to build.prop
1 line is not required

#Quick start
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

restart from coreelec to android 30 to 40 seconds faster for ready system to use

don’t forget to give build.prop permissions
rw-r–r--

one of the options ready
now it remains to turn coreelec off somehow faster

12

Are You kidding me ?
We are talking about seconds.
How much time did You spent for searching ?
I´m to old to understand

13

I do not judge

time spent one time now I have what I wanted x xxx turn on / off

14

Is there a way for me to close this thread ? I think I have gotten all I need from the thread, it has served my purpose.

I figured that both CoreElec and Beelink will not do anything about this. After all it isn’t a big problem to reboot back to CoreElec then go to Android.
