[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
Not sure if this should be in accessories or not but I've been looking into getting a head unit for my car and have been wondering whether there is good android integration on decks these days. I was looking into the Kenwood excelon series but I didn't know how well they function with the e4gt, Google music, usb, and bluetooth. I've tried searching the Internet for my answers but have gotten various answers, so I decided to get your guys input.

Not sure if blue tooth connectivity or usb would be better- I've heard that id3 tags won't show up by way of bluetooth in some cases. I want a deck that I can select my music from since it's against the law to use my cell phone while driving here, and I would like to continue using Google music because everything is in the cloud. If need be I could always put music on my sd card but that is a last resort. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences? Thanks!

Edit: I don't know if this is useful but I forgot to add I'm running stock rooted gb el29 until ics gets fully stable (I know it's pretty much there already but I'd rather not bother with bugs right now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] memoerdezguey:
U can try adapter to stereo u currently have...bluetooth adapter works great for talkin on phone and listenin to music or usb if u want to read music and charge phone at same time..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
But would an adapter allow you to select music through your stereo or would you still have to select music by way of your phone?

I have the KFC-x794, a tad old I know, with the hands free addition. Works for me. But I had to get the bt adapter because the USB only works a crapple. :(:(

Google grom audio....they sell adapters(stock) comes with aux only

.. u can buy add on for usb playin and chargin and add on for bluetooth with mic...for both u can control via stereo but might depend if ur radios compatible..im a happy customer!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
I hate the chokehold that Apple has on stereo integration yet no love for Android. I don't get it.

All the id3 tags work fine on your desk? Also does Google music work with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
That looks like a decent way to use the stock radio, how easy was it to install for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] memoerdezguey:
I was lucky...they have vids on youtube on how to install and they were using my car:) but its pretty easy...just remove radio, connect one plug to where cd changer goes and thats it...up to u where u wanna put adapter..its like a 3×3 small box
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Not sure what you're asking me. Tags for over the bt adapter to the display on the head? No. They don't work on that for me. But the player works fine.

I have a sony deck, and the stock music player app works over bluetooth. MP3 track titles show up on the deck, I can pause, skip tracks forward and back, and fast forward/rewind using the controls on the deck. I have tried a couple of different music players and only the stock Touch Wiz player can be controlled from the deck. I can listen to other music player through bluetooth, but loose the deck control.

FYI I've used calk's GB and ICS roms, stock rooted, and Blazer GB with the sony deck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
Perfect that's more or less what I was wondering and it seems to be predominate that only the stock player works with id3 tags showing up on the deck.

Has anyone figured out a work around to get Google music to work?

I have a pioneer 80prs and he one thing that sucks on Android is the bluetooth lag.... When watching a movie and streaming the audio to the headunit the video is a second or two ahead
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
usb hands down superior. kenwood/pioneer best integration :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
I'm trying out a friends pioneer this weekend and I'm almost positive I'll get a pioneer deck or a Kenwood excelon. They seem to be catching up with android use finally according to reviews. I would say it's partly google's fault and partly stereo brands. I imagine it's hard to plan to integrate android when it is so fragmented.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here tried using a tablet as a head unit? I'm curious how much audio quality you would have to sacrifice..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DjKurt:
Check out mirror link head units... I believe Sony has a model coming to the states soon... supposedly they support full integration with your phone...

As far as the tablet goes, if you can run your audio through your usb your audio quality should be as good as the quality of the music files on your tablet and the quality of the sound system in the car...

Let's just say that I have a lot of experience with it. ;) Hands down, best interface. Best compatability! (not that anyone would do this but) you can watch netflix from your phone on the screen!

One of the many supported navigation apps is a community supported app called Waze. It's actually very cool and intuitive. It updates traffic in real-time. It also has an option to report things like traffic jams and construction zones on the road to warn others! This is an app that you can download right now and use directly on your phone without the app radio if you wanted. If using it with an app radio, it will directly interface as it is a supported app. :-)

My wife uses a Sony headunit and I have the JVC headunit in the accessories thread and it works well also. I get the id3 tags using ICS without issue on google music or pandora.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
Yup. #1 internet tough guy!:mad:

Watch your tone before I go all 4chan on yer ass! Lol!

Not trying to sound like a bad ass. (Note: I didn't say what car I had sync in.) Sync is a great feature, though, and I'd highly recommend buying a car equipped with it. It is one of the main reasons I got the car. Yo. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Lol! 4chan...

But, the benefits of the appradio2 far outweigh the benefit of sync. I don't want to get all technical but trust me, I have seen the Ford sync system, Kenwood version, jvc version, etc, etc. Far above any other is the pioneer appradio2 for Android. The appradio2 is admittedly working better with android than with the iPhone (which is what most radios were introduced for). And as long as you have a compatible phone (which we do) and the correct connector, you will have capabilities not offered with any other system. Full disclosure: I have not experimented with the Sony link radio as I have yet to see one. They are still shipping them out.

I'm not arguing the fact that the appradio2 is better than a factory installed sync system because we already know that aftermarket product is far above the factory equipment being offered. I am making sure that the OP makes the right radio choice. ;)

And I know you love your sync in your Ford. And yes, from the factory, it is pretty cool. I'm not trying to sell the OP a new car afterall. :p

Seriously, nice to see android compatible stereo equipment finally. Too much ishwag on the market. I might try to get into best buy later and check this out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
Yea... I already have a new (used) audi sooo... I'm not in need of a new car at the moment. But thanks for the Ford option lol.

On the other side of things reviews on the app radio 2 are not as good as I would expect them to be for the money.

It looks like I may end up having to do some trial and error buy and return to see what is gonna work for my situation :-/ if there were better reviews I would jump on appradio2 in a minute but I'll have to try it out, see how it is and if I don't like it return it and try to wait for how the sony mirror link or the clarion works out.

Or just go simple and get a single din that takes my calls and plays my music, which is all I really need when it comes down to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
We knew you were balling. Lol ;)

I hear you on the compatibility! The i-stuff was getting annoying. The great thing about ICS was the movement toward a more "across the board" platform. :D Good for us!

I haven't read many reviews. Only have personal experience. I would love to hear what you decide on and what your experience is with different units! :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsenic0:
So im not sure why, i was following the Odin instructions and for whatever reason CWM Recovery was not getting installed...it always brought up the Android version of recovery. So i went to reflash it with Odin, and it failed, now i get a screen on my phone that says a flash failed and to hook up to Kies to recover..

Problem is Kies just sits there circling with Connecting, and never gets the device...i have tried the troubleshoot connection error window and it reinstalls the device properly but it just sits at connecting...

Please any help!

So, over the weekend I flashed Tab2Lite and I'm loving the result. However, I would like to add back one or two of the apps that Metallice removed in the de-bloating process. I have my original nandroid backups as well as his RemovedApps.zip but I'm not quite sure where to start. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
If you look at the tab2lite thread it explains how to re-add some of the apps and has a link to all of them for download.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcejohnson:
I've read through the thread several times, I tend to read such things instead of jumping in blind :). In the past I've either run full-custom as-is or full-stock so this is my first attempt at customizing a custom ROM. I know I can drop the apk back into /data/app or /system/app (and did, in fact, for a quick fix) but I would rather like to know how to put the bloat back into the ROM so that if I reflash later I will have all the fiddly bits I want. So, I guess, the question is really more along the lines of "how do I customize and repackage a custom ROM" but I didn't want to be quite so generic with the original question.

For about a week or two I have been reading up and researching on how to make a ROM and I used to run Ubuntu ( I used W7 as my primary OS on an SSD ) on one of my extra hard drives but I recently realized that it would be better for me to just run Ubuntu in a VM and therefore I am using VirtualBox. Okay to get to the point I would appreciate any tips and helpful advice on how to build a rom correctly for our device. I also am curious on how much ram I really need because in my machine I have 16GB as ram but I only dedicated 3GB to Ubuntu and it says that I need about 16GB just to Ubuntu here. If I have to I can purchase more ram. :D Also which would be the best version of Ubuntu to run for this? On the site it says 10.04.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herohunt2:
Hi,

A few months back, I unrooted my NS4G in order update to the official ICS release. Initially, I was content with the official ICS on my phone, however, I've come to miss the fun mods and features that are available with custom ROMs. Now, I can't seem to re-root my phone.

The bootloader is still unlocked so I tried going into recovery like old times but received a blank screen with an image of the android bot face down with its back door open and an exclamation point (pictured below).

Please help. Although I've rooted a few phones, including this one, I still feel like a rookie and may be missing something very simple.

Thanks!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
You need to snag a custom recovery and get the current superuser. After that, you will need to make sure you either edit the script or delete the script in the system so it doesn't overwrit CWM.

The recovery needs to be pushed while in the bootloader via fastboot
