Running Bass Desktop Mode - Android 14 on Raspberry Pi 4B/CM4/400

I've been experimenting with Bass Desktop Mode, a minimal AOSP-based Android 14 build designed for the Raspberry Pi 4B, CM4, and Pi 400. It's an interesting take on Android for SBCs, offering a lightweight system with a focus on usability and FOSS apps. Here's my experience so far.

Features of Bass Desktop Mode

Android 14 with Desktop Mode – Built-in SamrtDock enables multi-window mode, making Android function more like a traditional desktop OS.
KernelSU for Root Access – Rooting is baked into the kernel via KernelSU, providing a more stable and flexible way to enable root access.
MicroG Preinstalled – A Google Play Services alternative for running apps without full Google dependencies.
FOSS App Stores – Comes with F-Droid and other open-source app stores for easy access to free software.
Optimized for SD Cards – Works out-of-the-box with SD storage
