Lollipop is Android and we have no "launcher" app, so you're not running LibreELEC and you're in the wrong forum.

RPi3B+ with DTS is more than enough for normal use .. IMHO worry about the upgrade when it happens, not now

I've been using Lima on the family daily-driver (Amlogic) box since last November and it's about 90% complete from a Kodi perspective. There are some minor corner cases with specific screensavers/visualisations not working fully (e.g. shadertoy) and there's the occasional glitch, but Kodi is a fairly simple app to support and it's very usable. However most RK devices we support need panfrost which is a trickier proposition. Amlogic test images are now using this out of necessity (the T820 GPU in the S912 box has no Linux blob) and we're now using the recently merged DRM driver and performance from an OpenGLES perspective is starting to look rather nice. On the kernel side there are still memory management issues and crashes/hangs to resolve, and we're still working to upstream support for 32-bit userspace. There's a lot of activity around panfrost and it improves daily. I'd estimate it's 75% complete for midgard right now. Since RK hardware has mali blobs available there's no rush to switch so we'll let panfrost mature before making that decision. Bifrost support is also completely missing; the developers are deliberately ignoring it for now to keep the focus on midgard hardware.

Still work in progress, but as the API's are fairly stable now we've started to experiment with the Kodi side of things. It will take time as there's far too much stuff to get our heads around and we need to coordinate changes over multiple GPU types. In the future Kodi will have A1+ support for all this but you'll have to wait for a blog post to find out why

Raspberry Pi 3B+ does not support TrueHD and Atmos and other HD formats. The HTPC hardware has to detect/handle the audio to "pass it through" to the AVR device so you'll get the DTS core sound not the full HD audio stream. If you want HD audio .. it's time for an upgrade.

packages/mediacentre/LibreELEC-settings grabs sources from github (same as any other addon) and it's embedded in the image for Kodi use
-
Most stutter issues are caused by playing at the wrong refresh rates. In the > 9.0 migration did you set the resolution/refresh whitelist? .. and does the TV have modes for the media you are playing?
-
Correct, except Raspberry Pi will run best from a micro SD card.
-
Perhaps label partitions and use boot=LABEL= and disk=LABEL= instead of GUIDs in extlinux.conf
Sorry I have little real-world knowledge of RK boot stuff ..

LE installs to a wide range of inexpensive hardware that attaches to TV's, e.g. a Raspberry Pi or Intel NUC, but we do not support direct installation to actual TV's (and no plans to add it). That's the bit you're missing.
-
LE is currently built around the assumption of being installed on an IPv4 device behind a NAT gateway in a domestic/home network. As a result you should assume there is only partial support for IPv6 in the OS. In fact i'm surprised there is any, as last time I actually looked it was mostly disabled everywhere. You are welcome to make suggestions on improvements, but AFAIK none of the core team have access to IPv6 networks to validate any suggestions that are made. Things that appear (or not) in the settings GUI could simply be things that didn't exist in connman when the settings add-on was originally written in 2012/2013 so it's worthwhile cross-referencing with connman documentation and the "connmanctl" utility. If you make changes via connmanctl they will be persistent.

Just FYR, this Shippy in comments below is *not* me !
Looks like our "fork" ex-colleagues stooping to new lows .. which is nothing newsworthy
-
is there any option to install LibreElec on specific partition without wiping whole HDD?
Technically no because LE requires TWO partitions (boot and storage) although it may be possible to use the current main partition for storage as long as it's Linux formatted, e.g. EXT4 (not possible if NTFS or FAT32 formatted). The wiki has some high level details of the manual install process. All of our installers are written for "nuke and pave" installs.

Okay, remote is working, thnks
What about sound and hw davlin codecs?
Work in progress.

How exactly do I move the backup file off-box? Secondly, how do I do a clean install without using the backup itself while the existing OS is already on there? I guess I'm asking, could you dumb it down a bit for me please.
The backup file is in /storage/backup so use WinSCP to transfer over the network, or if a USB drive is locally connected (and mounted) you can copy the file using 'cp' from the SSH console or the Kodi FileManager in Kodi settings.
Or if you don't care about any of the existing data. Create an install USB using the USB/SD Creator app and boot/install. The install process will nuke everything on whatever device you install to.

Count to somewhere between 3 and 8 seconds (depending on the box) before releasing the reset button. If you power on and release the button at the same time, u-boot hasn't reached the point in the boot process where the button release is seen; so it will just continue to boot normally.

Use Raspbian if you need a browser. It's a desktop OS with desktop features.
