Litchi and the smart controller

WestyinWC · Jun 21, 2020

Has anyone successfully got Litchi on a smart controller and working? If so what were the steps you followed? Thanks and Happy Father's day to the Dad's on here!

Straight from the Litchi site

Was the Amazon version of Litchi proven more stable than the Google Play one ?

I guess this is a marketing strategy to make more money. This will make all SC users to buy another version of Litchi. Is is any prove that is a better version for SC i will get it. I need to see real feedback to convince me.

bought and installed yesterday by amazon...tried it with the drone off and after a few test clicks to study the menu .the application crashed (without having done anything). I did a factory reset and now I'm back to my SC nice and clean. Better to avoid problems. I wonder how the dji FLy will ever be compatible on a device with so few resources.

Did you stop (Kill) the Amazon store app and DJI Go4 before starting Litchi on the Smart Controller?

I never run any software that is not completely necessary to fly at all when I use my CS or SC. Just my habit.

If you swipe from top to bottom and open the Android menu, select recent apps and them close whatever you don't want open.
however, there are daemons (services) that still run in the background even when are not show there, like frameworks services that crash very often.

As @Thomas B mentioned. Do not run anything unnecessary on the Smart Controller.

Yes, I checked twice, I was looking at the menu and trying the various icons, when the application stopped suddenly. At least when the drone was off and on the ground I thought it would stay stable, but no, no I feel comfortable using an application that crashes trying only the menu. The smartcontroller with its android 7.0 is not able to handle these non-native applications (imho) ..it's not safe to use.

I agree (luckily the drone was not in flight)
