BBB, Android, and 4DCAPE-70T

Hi All,

I was able to get Android 4.3 installed on my BBB thanks to this (http://www.2net.co.uk/tutorial/android-4.3-beaglebone-fastboot). Everything seems to work fine with the 4DCAPE-70T except for one small problem. It appears that the BBB is not using the whole screen. About a half inch along the right edge is not being used.

I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MmWkt_7-y0) and they appear to have the same problem. It can be seen at 1:22 in the video.

It’s not overly noticeable and I actually just noticed it yesterday. I’m not sure if I had the same experience with Angstrom on the BBB or not.

I guess it’s not a huge deal, but now that I’ve noticed it, my OCD won’t let me ignore it. :frowning:

PS - If this is a duplicate post, I apologize. I typed it all out once and posted, but then couldn’t find it.

I am guessing the black strip you see is the Navigation Bar, but the buttons are not getting displayed.

Try the following change. That should fix the issue of buttons not showing on Nav Bar.
