[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
I have been wondering the same thing and had searched Google extensively a few weeks ago. There is one really simple single-DIN with a tiny teeny screen that runs Android, but I want a double-DIN with 7" LCD and built-in navigation.

Perhaps the problem is the open-source nature of Android? Big companies like Pioneer, JVC, Sony, Kenwood, etc. very much want to keep their products as closed as possible. I know Pioneer is kind of like Apple, they use custom chips for everything. I have an AVIC-Z3 navigation HU, and I think the only way anyone knew it uses a Hitachi SH4 processor is by disassembling the code. All the chips are Pioneer branded with Pioneer part numbers on them.

Of course, that begs the question of why no Chinese company has come up with an Android HU. After all, it's free and far cheaper for them to use than having to write a crappy proprietary OS or using Windows CE as many do.

It's too bad there aren't any hackers in the car navigation scene. If people can figure out how to boot Android on WinMo devices, I'm pretty sure the same skill set would work on car navigation as most run Windows Automotive (WinCE).

Oh, and there do exist a few double-DIN Car PCs that normally run XP. I don't know where to actually buy one, but something like that could easily run Android. The fact that they will use an x86 processor is no biggie considering Android apps all run in the Dalvik VM.

Thanks for the thanks...I think?

Anyway I'm working on this project for my BMW. BMW's from the mid 90's to the mid 00's have a serial bus that controls all entertainment functions (volume control, mode, HVAC). It's been throughly hacked with most of the codes available around the internet. I'm designing a hardware interface based on the sparkfun IOIO (which isn't actually in production yet) to talk to the bus with samsung tab. It should replicate all stock functionality plus all of what can be done with android. And the tab fits in the stock location! Of course, it'll only work with the previous generation of BMWs so there is still room for an all purpose solution...

[Off-topic] fr33pr0d:
Been looking for something like this myself for the past 2 months. I've found a similar product (pretty much the same dynavin unit, only this one is for sale :D) and it's mounted on a Rover 75 which kinda' gives me a bit of hope that it's not BMW/Merc/Audi only (I own a 2004 Passat). It's a bit too expensive for me atm but maybe someone else is interested (and has the funds to actually get it). You can also add a rear view camera and it integrates nicely with the steering wheel controls (at least that's what they say).

http :// autogpsdvds.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=135

I am very tempted to buy it but this would be my first head unit and I really want it to be an Android one (I've been really pleased with my Android phone so far). Any advice would be really appreciated. Also, how much does it usually cost to have it installed?

Here's what I do, and I get PHENOMINAL Battery life.

There are two ways of conditioning a battery that stand out above the rest, and I combine them.

Download the battery monitor widget/app

Set it to your battery's maH in settings.

THis isn't totally a needed step, but is a useful app.

Charge your phone until full.

Unplug it, turn it off, then plug it in for one hour.

Turn it on for two minutes, so it fully boots.

Turn it off, unplug it, when the light goes off, plug it back in for one hour.

Now, before you plug it in, unplug, wait for the light to go off, plug it back in.

When the light turns green, unplug it again. Repeat that step 10 times.

(It may not take 10, it may take more, but 10 is good)

While plugged in, boot to recovery, wipe your battery stats.

Then reboot to system.

A good habit to preserve battery life is to keep mobile data off, unless you need it. I used to turn wifi off, too, but lately, I leave it on.

How good is this?? I take my phone off the charger when I leave for work at 7AM, and usually, I go to bed at 11PM, when I charge it back in, and it's never below 80%, unless I've been really using the phone excessivley.

The other thing is, I do this, somewhat daily. I wake up, tuen the phone off ,so my alarm doesn't keep ringing every 15 minutes, unplug it, then not turn it back on til just before I leave, so it's getting that "treatment" at some level, every day.

[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
Q&A:

What is Overclocking??

Overclocking is running the cpu, and possibly other system components like memory, faster than the speed for which it was rated. It's not something to take lightly as it's something that actually can physically damage the phone.

What is Undervolting?

If you are performing CPU intensive tasks, you reap the most benefit from the UV kernel because it needs less power to run at 1 GHz (or whatever the maximum clock speed is set to for that kernel).

If you spend alot of time idling, for instance reading interspersed by web requests, you are spending most of your time at the minimum clock speed. With the stock kernel, that is set to 0.1 GHz. With a UV kernel, the minimum clock needs to be set to something higher to keep the CPU running.

What in the hell is BFS/CFS???

CFS: Completely Fair Scheduler - The original process scheduler. CFS is better for multitasking, BFS is better for user interactions

BFS: Brain F**k Scheduler - The updated and improved process scheduler of CFS. The scheduler is designed to offer low latency when used interactively

What in the hell is Noop/SIO/Others???

NO-OP: This scheduler only implements request merging.

SIO: Simple I/O Scheduler - SIO is like a lighter version of deadline but it doesn't do any kind of sorting, so it's aimed mainly for random-access devices (like SSD hard disks) where request sorting is no needed (as any sector can be accesed in a constant time, regardless of its

physical location).

CFQ: Completely Fair Queueing - The CFQ scheduler has always tried to divide the bandwidth of each block device fairly among the processes performing I/O to that device; the time-sliced version goes further by giving each process exclusive access to the device for a period of time.

BFQ: Budget Fair Queueing - BFQ is a proportional share disk scheduling algorithm, based on CFQ, that supports hierarchical scheduling using a cgroups interface

BFQ vs CFQ

Slowest task's bw (MB/s) Fastest task's bw (MB/s)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

BFQ (2 files)	9.81 +/- 0.47	9.95 +/- 0.43

CFQ (2 files)	8.61 +/- 0.67	11.92 +/- 0.44

-------------------------------------------------------------------

BFQ (5 files)	4.29 +/- 0.10	4.31 +/- 0.09

CFQ (5 files)	4.01 +/- 0.17	5.24 +/- 0.14

[Fascinate General] saps:
Its kinda weird but when I first flash the OTB I am not able to run voltages as low as I can after a few hours. Makes no sense to me but whatever.

My 100% of the time fail safe settings are:

1300 -75

1200 -25

1000 -50

800 -50

400 -75

200 -75

100 -75

With the above its always been perfect. Now as aforementioned after a short while I can adjust to these following voltages:

1300 -75

1200 -50

1000 -75

800 -75

400 -100

200 -125

100 -125

But again oddly if I try testing these right after a fresh kernel install I get some kind of freeze/lock up issue.

As always YMMV and truly you need to find what is stable for your own phone and the only way to do that is thru individual testing.

In terms of the scheduler I was mostly using cfq since OTB came out for voltage control but I have played with SIO and BFQ. IMO there is not a tangible difference
[Fascinate General] xceebeex:
So what is the difference between the different schedulers? I see some people use SIO and some use CFQ. Is there a place I can go to read up on the differences?

Yeah YMMV always. In quadrant tests I get the highest IO scores with sio actually. Mind you its just a few dozen points higher which translates into just a few points higher overall. But it is consistently just a tad bit better than bfq and cfq which are dead end on my phone. After using cfq the past week Im currently on bfq since supposedly thats the one to have. In the end I believe it makes little difference
[Fascinate General] beray5:
For general purpose phone use CFQ and BFQ are best, SIO is non time critical and only suitable for single purpose imbedded applications such as dedicated flash controllers where latency had much less importance than data throughput.

If audio and video causing hangs or stutters then CFQ or BFQ are absolutely required.
