STEP- 1: Downloading & Installing “Android TV on Raspberry Pi”

First of all, we need to download the “Android TV 10 Image” image to set up the Raspberry Pi 4.

Overclock at your own risk.

Maximum Overclock for Raspberry Pi 4: 2.147 GHz max clock speed GPU Frequency: 750 We are going to overclock are system from 700 MHz to 2000 MHz. We also change the over voltage to 6 for maximum power.

To overclock the Raspberry Pi 4 we need to open the 134 MB folder and then look for config.txt file. After that, open the file in the Text editor and add the below-given lines at the end.

over_voltage=6
arm_freq=2000
gpu_freq=750

If you have resolution issues you can force 1080 resolution by adding this to config.txt

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
