Before diving into the "how," let’s look at the "why." The Allwinner H6 (with its Mali-T720 GPU) is capable, but manufacturers frequently abandon software support. Custom ROMs offer: This dumps the entire flash (size depends on

The most successful "custom ROM" ecosystem for the Allwinner H6 is not Android, but Linux via the Armbian project.
