Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 4.1: fixes for internet radio and Wi-Fi after screen-off. Linux 6.18 and the native Reborn music player for the Innioasis Y2.

Already running Y2Linux

Settings → About & Updates → Check for Updates → Download Update → Restart and Install.

What's fixed

  • Radio no longer gets stuck when you stop, pause or switch a station ("playback command queue full"; the player needed a restart).
  • Radio and updates no longer say "Connect to Wi-Fi" while Wi-Fi is connected:
    • after the screen was off for a while, the player could treat a working connection as disconnected;
    • after deep sleep, Check for Updates refused to run until much later (a clock check didn't count the time asleep).
  • You should no longer need to turn Wi-Fi off and on after the screen was off or the player slept.

Everything from Beta 4 (internet radio) is included.

Install (from stock)

You need SP Flash Tool v5.2032, a USB cable, Y2Linux-1.0.0-beta.4.1-first-install.zip below and the Innioasis Y2 firmware package v3.2.0 from Innioasis (also your way back to stock).

  1. Unpack both.
  2. SP Flash Tool → Download Only → load MT6582_Android_scatter.txt from the Y2Linux zip. Exactly BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, ANDROID and USRDATA are ticked.
  3. Click Download and connect the switched-off Y2; wait for the green tick.
  4. Unplug and press Power: Y2Linux and Reborn start, music works.
  5. Connect the Y2 to the computer and copy (don't move) system.img from the Innioasis package onto the Firmware drive. The player takes the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth firmware from it and turns the radios on.

Known issues (beta)

  • These fixes were tested on the computer; this is their first release on the player.
  • Streaming keeps Wi-Fi busy: battery use is higher than for local music, and Bluetooth headphones may drop out more often while streaming (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth share one antenna on the Y2).
  • FM radio is planned for the next beta.
  • Battery life in sleep is not yet stock-like (about 9 mA vs stock 1.3 mA).
  • The player cannot detect wired headphones yet. Tested on one hardware revision and one player.
