Raspberry Pi is the go-to device for tech tinkerers and enthusiasts. It offers a variety of upgrade paths and in many cases comes with its own chipset and RAM, which allows for multiple use cases. You can use it to manage your security cameras, create a remote workstation, build a media center unit, and much more.

Many people have been trying to run Android on the Pi 4 for a while now, and we’ve seen a few major releases in 2019. They were all based on Android 10, but thankfully a new build has just been released that lets you run Android 11 on your Raspberry Pi 4. Let’s take a quick look at it.

OmniROM is the new build for Raspberry Pi based on Android 11. It comes in a flashable .zip and can be obtained from XDA Developers. OmniROM has been a prominent name in the XDA community for quite some time now. They have released a few builds based on Android 11 for a few phones in the past few months. This experience probably made them bold enough to make a build for the Pi 4.

The OmniROM for Pi 4 comes in two flavors, one is bundled with microG apps while the other allows for standard Gapps installations. The microG build is more focused on privacy as it does not rely on Google’s Play Services or the Play Store.
