Last comment not posted yet, I will anyway continue from there.

So I booted an Android image and it worked. I got an output.
The default video flag in uEnv.txt was 720x480-16@60
Except changing the 16 to 32, nothing else worked.
I finally removed the flag and got a 1280x 678+ res. This seems to be the 
highest common res between the two.

Now I have two follow up questions.
1) What is the reason for the res limitation? Is it software or hardware?
2) Can a similar problem be happening on Angstorm side as well? There were 
no flags provided when it had worked before, should it not work fine still?

Waiting for a reply.

Thanks
