It did support a USB-hub before I tried the image from Serge. I connected the wifi dongle and a usb-stick for some music. Both worked so I think that wouldnt be a problem. Maybe it workes with the usb to ODB2 Plug. And yes, it will be faster then bluetooth, I agree. I only have a simple car, but I can understand if you have a tuned ride you want your information fast and direct on your screen. Its always worth a shot!. The drawing you sent with the link seams a bit confusing. There are tons of 12V USB-hubs or such available. But if you like to be a little scientist and make your own then why not! :laugh: I have a 12V to 5V converter lying around which I got from work. I'm going to connect it to my hub and fix the problem

Serge,

I have a little problem with my radio now. It worked just fine and I turned my radio on/off a 100 times with no problem. But now, sometimes it just hangs in the bootscreen (the volkswagen logo) and doesnt respond. I think it want to load something that is not there or something. I have to turn my radio off and then turn it on again. Sometimes two or three times. I think it happend after I made my SD-card bigger with minitool. I am not sure what is wrong... Is there a way to fix this? It is very annoying to reboot the radio over and over untill it finally goes thru the boot sequence. Maybe clear the cache in recovery mode? Or do you have an app to solve it? I hope you can respond quick because this is troubling me. :crying:

thanks!

Serge,

У меня есть небольшая проблема с моим радио сейчас. Он работал очень хорошо, и я повернул радио ON / OFF 100 раз без проблем. Но теперь, иногда она просто висит в экране загрузки (логотип Volkswagen) и не отвечает. Я думаю, что хотите загрузить то, что не там или что-то. Я должен обратить свое радио и включите его снова. Иногда два или три раза. Я думаю, что это случилось после того, как я сделал свой SD-карты больше с MiniTool. Я не уверен, что это неправильно ... Есть ли способ это исправить? Это очень раздражает, чтобы перезагрузить радио снова и снова, до тех пор пока он, наконец, идет через последовательность загрузки. Может быть, очистить кэш в режиме восстановления? Или у вас есть приложение, чтобы решить эту проблему? Я надеюсь, что вы можете ответить быстро, потому что это меня беспокоит. : плачу:

спасибо!

[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
If you turn your carkey off, then it should reomve the power from your device. Try to boot without the SD-card. Maybe it will work. If it reboots without the SD-card, I think you should re-image and begin from scratch.

I deleted the bootanimation but stil it sometimes hangs in the boot logo. (I now see the android in text en it shines somewhat). Filefixer, did you install google chrome? Or blackmart? Because If I understand serge's post the correct way, if you run too much on the SD-card then it wont start up. I will try and delete some installed apps to check if this will help.

by the way, I have a samsung 32GB class 10 SD-card.

Serge,

I deleted the bootanimation.zip and a few apps like gps tester. The problem remains and it sometimes hangs in boot. Making me turn the radio off and on again. Then it will work again with no problems and if I use the app qucikboot / reboot, it will reboot with no problems, several times. When I leave my car and I come back it usually hangs the first time, sometimes twice. I've installed google chrome, blackmart,TomTom, google maps and youtube. Is it possible these apps cause a problem while booting?

I cannot translate this word: pamyati.tak (памяти.так). Can you please explain? Is this a map?

I have a samsung 32Gb 10 class SD-card.

[General Questions and Answers] FileFixer:
You right... After turn off car key AOS is boot normal.

Perhaps, i disable some apps from Settings/App Manager, not remove from app drawer. After that, AOS work every time when booting without stuck.

But one error still persist... I put Thunb Keyboard in data/app drawer and activate it from AOS but process is stoped and only Japanese keyboard working as it should but don`t appear on screen..

After some minutes, AOS reboot and start over... I suppose that USB hub draws a lot of power and it is necessary to additional power supply.

Today, i will try to remove USB hub, BT and WiFi dongles then look how system work. If it is working properly, then the additional power required.
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
Hi filefixer

How do you disable apps? I can only let them stop working by killing them. I tried some apps like start-up manager and all-in-one toolbox. Both of them doesnt work to disable apps at boot. It says it disables the app, but it still start when I reboot. Very frustrating! I am going to try some other apps to let the AOS boot nornally. Which apps did you install after you imaged your SD-card? Maybe those apps are choking the boot?

I had the problem with the keyboard to. I installed Go keyboard from the play-store and then it worked just fine. Smartkeyboard and japanese keyboard didn't work for me also.

--UPDATE--

Today I had a couple of hours to mess around with my radio and found something! When you go to lucky patcher, which came with the image. Then go to toolbox, then clear delvik cache and restart. That worked for me and the AOS rebooted like a charm. Multiple times! Even if I turn my car off and on again, it boots normally. I found out that when I have the torque app running and its connected to my ODB2 plug thru BT, and cut the power by turning my car key off, the trouble begins. It hangs on boot again and after a couple of times it goes thru boot and can clear the cache again, making the error go away. I am going to test it more, and I don't hope it was a coincidence... But it seems the AOS doesn't like it when you cut the power when apps are connected and running. Much like when you pull the plug on your windows PC when its on. I hope someone can point me to an app which kills all apps, and then powers the AOS off. That would be a very helpfull app. Maybe I can test with that a bit more. For the time being I am going to kill all apps manually and keep BT off in the settings, and switch it on only when I need it.
[General Questions and Answers] FileFixer:
Application you want to be disabled when go to Settings/Apps/All and tap to application what you want to be disable and tap on Disable button. After that, application do not start when you reboot AOS.

I was delete Dalvik Cache manually from home computer. If you run any Linux OS it it is very simple operation.

Today i was install DC-DC converter for USB Hub and after that, all work perfect. No more accidentally reboot. Every time when AOS boot it was be sucess. Into USB Hub i plug it WiFi and Bluetooth adapter... All work fine.

Last year i was purchase DC-DC converter from ebay for some other project but it stays unusable till today.

It is something like this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-Adjus...427?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f25dba98b

The simpliest way to power USB Hub is some 7805 IC-s. You can buy it on local electronic store for 1-2$.

For reboot AOS problem when power off your car with keylock, AOS don`t write some system setups. You can try to run Torque then exit Torque and shut down AOS with application inside AOS Appswhich name is Turn Off... I don`t remember exactly name but it is something like this. AOS will properly write any changes into Dalvik cache into AOS system and newer will be randomly reboot again. All changes into AOS will be prperly write.

Thank you drogert! My Road Veles II [CVVE-C180-2GEN] arrived. My truck is at the tuner's shop, so it's the perfect opportunity to work on fine-tuning the radio software. I'll post what I find.

Thanks also for sharing your experiences with the Serg's solution. I may eventually install it and appreciate reading about how well it works!

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Have you tried installing SuperUser? I know Android devices have to be rooted for SuperUser installation, but I've read in some forums that many of the Chinese ROMs are rooted.

I'll try to install it as soon as I can get my power supply set up and connected.
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
hi Jamesuhl,

No problem, I found allot of help here and I hope I can do the same back. Superuser is allready pre-installed with the image from serge. Thats nice because I can install everything without a problem. The original firmware was rooted also, but I dont know if you have superuser rights.

My advice is that you install the image from serge on a SD-card and don't mess to much with the orignal firmware which comes with the radio. I think if you brick it then it will be a b*tch to fix it again. It only boots for the first time in russian, so be sure to know where the language settings are :laugh:. With the image from serge you can load the OS sideways and don't worry about installing/de-installing stuff, and when you mess it up, you can always begin from scratch by re-installing the image again on the SD-card. Furthermore, I tought the original firmware was buggy anyway. When I was driving with the IGO navigation (which worked suprisingly well!) it rebooted without reason sometimes. I thought the original firmware was a bit slow also. The original firmware had little to none free space to install stuff. It was a bit of a problem to install google chrome on it because of the lag of space. Now I have tons of space! Now, I only have to find a way to power off my radio in the correct way to enure it doesn't give me errors again. A small challenge, but a challenge anyways ;)

Also, I found out the FM radio reciever isn't that great also (Well, what could I expect from chinese no brand). It gives some static when i'm not in the city or such. I've bought a FM booster for 4$ at ebay. Fitted it yesterday and gonna test it this week. I think it will do the trick... lets hope :)

FM booster

Another tip I want to give you is when you install the radio, Keep all wires away from the radio because it can get pretty hot. I was driving and I smelled something coming from my radio. It was some insulation tape which had come loose from other wires from my car and you could smell the glue from it. So make sure you thug all wires nicely away :good: It wont catch fire so I dont wont to worry you. :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] jamesuhl:
Thanks for all of your advice, drogert! I found my power supply and the radio is up and running.

Here's a tip that might be worth sharing. When you're in the CE Setup menu, use your remote control number pad to enter 1357. This will take you into another configuration screen where you can alter advanced settings. The TV will not work in the US, so I disabled it and it removed the icon from the menu. Also, US radios use a different numeric system, so setting the radio to US helped me, too.
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
Hey jamesuhl,

Your welcome! Thanks for the 1357 code! I liked the analog clock better so I changed it. To bad you cant change the whole layout of the clock: A nice rolex or so would be nice.:laugh: I bought a version without DVB-T tuner. But I saw it as options to change the type of signal you can recieve. It maybe worth the shot to see if my dbv-t antenna works.

The FM-booster workes just fine and the static is gone. Next challenge is to fit my 12V to 5V power supply for my HUB.
[General Questions and Answers] FileFixer:
Today I tried to enter this code but nothing was happend. Did I must enter this code in specified menu?
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
Yes, you have to go to the settings menu, and then press the code. Then the other menu slides in.
[General Questions and Answers] FileFixer:
Thanks... Now I see more settings.
[General Questions and Answers] jamesuhl:
Drogert,

You're welcome! The Road Veles II doesn't have the analog clock option. :(

I'm glad to hear the booster worked. I'll keep it in mind if I run into problems.

I tried all the TV settings and get an error message in French that there's no signal from the antenna. :eek:

Did you buy the eBay 12V to 5V adapter?

Have you guys found a setting that lets you reposition the image on the screen? I have excess black space on the right and bottom sides of the display. The left and top sides of the image a pressed tight into the upper left corner with no black space/border.

My OBD2 adapter shipped. And I bought a powered USB HUB to test with it. I'll post my results as soon as I get it.
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
Jamesuhl,

The option where I found the analog clock was menu GUI or so, at the bottem right. I can choose between two options.

Maybe you can try looking into the settings or download an app for adjusting the screen? What I found out is when you go to settings and go to screen adjustment and pump up the contrast, the screen is much better to look at.

I got the inverter from my work:angel: We had some on the shelf that we never use, so I decided I needed one for my car. It is originally used for a medication trolley which has 12V and needs a powered USB-hub.

I installed my image from scratch because my radio didn't go further then the boot at random. I think I screwed it when I installed allot of apps. I also disabled allot of apps which I think are not needed. Now it boots normally as far as I can tell. I also decided not to increase the size of the SD-card and leave it at 8GB. Maybe it will help.

-Update-

I figured out that my USB-hub maybe the problem! When I connect it and I reboot, it hangs on boot at random, when I disconnect it boots normally. Its a cheap Belkin HUB so maybe I really need to connect the external 5V power, or change the HUB. I will let you know if this helps.

I didn't have the time to check if TV works. Busy busy busy :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] jamesuhl:
drogert,

I can't believe I overlooked the UI adjustment. Thank you! I prefer the analog clock, too. Thanks for the other updates, as well.

My OBD cable arrived. According to the instructions, the status LED is supposed to be amber if the drivers install correctly. It was red briefly, then turned to amber. I think it works. I'm going to test it over the weekend to be sure. I'll post my results.

James
[General Questions and Answers] jamesuhl:
It took a little work, but I have my USB ODBLink SX working!

Although the LED was amber, Torque Lite would not see the cable. After some research, I found that only Torque PRO supports the USB-based OBDLink SX.

After installing Torque Pro, it reported it did not see any compatible hardware. I installed and ran USB Host Diagnostics. The program ran diagnostics and reported it found a fault, repaired it, and that I would need to reboot for the fault to be fixed.

I rebooted and Torque Pro found the cable!

Torque Pro is working with the cable with the factory Android ROM. I've configured Torque Pro, fine-tuned all my Android and Win CE settings, and I'm just about ready to take it to the car and test it there. I'll post what I find.
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
James,

Wow! thats nice! I hope it works when you install it in your car:D.

The strangest thing happend yesterday. I was getting tired of my radio hanging on boot and me turning it off and on again untill it finally boots normally(I am running serge's image) I took the radio out of my car and installed it on my dinner table with a external power source. It works like a charm now! It has never hanged on boot and I can do allmost everything with it. I installed a N64 emulator and can even play mario cart now :laugh:. I turned on Torque and turned the radio off... no problem! I used an USB-hub with wifi and USB-stick and turned it off. All worked just fine! It never hanged on boot...

The only thing that I didn't try was adding the GPS reciever and try to simulate wat happens when its in the car. I started the navigation and let the GPS connect. I then killed the power and it hanged on boot the next time I started it. I disconnected the GPS and it booted nicelly again. I tried different navigation software and all give the same error: It hangs on boot. Maybe the GPS chip doesn't like a sudden power-off. If I totally disconnect the radio from the power supply it boots the next time perfectly, but forgets all presets for wince. Maybe I will try a bluetooth GPS reciever, or look for another gps antenna.

I hope I am right this time... I was getting pretty frustrated actually. James, let me know how the ODB2 plug works for you. If its fast and responsive? Maybe I will buy it to so I don't have to hassle with the bluetooth anymore. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] FileFixer:
I have sometimes randomly stuck on bootscreen and i try to find solution... Only solution is then dalvik-cache want to be removed. After delete all files from dalvik-cache every boot is sucesfull.

Ok, so i found on XDA one script to delete dalvik cache on every boot...

This script is also realocate /system/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache to save space on system partition.

This script must be named with *.sh extension and put it to init.d folder.

------------------------ begin script-----------------------------

#!/system/bin/sh

#

# relocate dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache

if [ ! -d /cache/dalvik-cache ]

then

busybox rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

fi

busybox chown 1000:1000 /cache/dalvik-cache

busybox chmod 0771 /cache/dalvik-cache

# create symlink

busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache

busybox chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache

------------------------------end script------------------------------
[General Questions and Answers] jamesuhl:
drogert,

It works with the car! Information readout is fast! :silly: The unit boots slow to Android, but the Win CE environment streams music via Bluetooth fairly quickly. If I set up Torque to start automatically from the data screen, the screen does not display as it should. So I have to let Torque start, then enter into the data screen manually.

Now that I know I can get OBDLink SX to work with the factory ROM, I'm going to try it using Serg's image and compare the results. The unit struggles to keep the audio playing during screen changes in the Android environment. It doesn't seem to matter if it is while playing DVD or streaming Bluetooth. Maybe it's simply requiring resources (RAM) the unit doesn't have.

That's interesting info about the NAV antenna - keep us posted. I don't know if it's related, but I've noticed that Google maps does not always work. It will open, but locks up and generates an error message. But if I use Chrome to find an address, it will use a web-based version of Google maps that DOES work reliably.

Thanks for all of your help!

James

It wasn't a resource issue! Android was muting WinCE because "screen clicks" were enabled. After I turned off the Android screen clicks, the unit works beautifully!!
[General Questions and Answers] drogert:
[MENTION=629096]FileFixer[/MENTION],

This is very interesting! I am going to try this but could you be more specific? Does this work for you? Have you tried it and it never randomly hangs on boot anymore?

Can I copy past this script and use notepad to make the .sh script? And what is the name of the script? so: _____.sh? Also, does this always reallocate the dalvik cache on every boot?

I have search for the init.d folder but didn't found it, maybe I am searching in the wrong maps. Can you tell me where to find it and where to place the script?

Maybe you can make the script and post it here. I can then download it here and try it for myself.

Thanks!

Hi James,

I had the same issue with the audio :laugh: Just turn everything off, like alerts and click sounds.

If you install everything on the factory ROM which has little space I can imaging that it will become slow and hangs if you do to much at once. You can try and back-up the GPS SDcard and place it back empty. Sure, the IGO primo navigation is gone then but there are other navigation software which take not so much space. You will have some more space to install something on the external SD-card. To bad things like chrome will not install on the ext SDcard.

I am curious if the image from serge will do better with things like Torque for you. let me know ;)

Thanks!

Hmmm... it seems that all scripts don`t work as i suppose. Damn... but, after more and more days on Google search it seems that is one more posibility to eliminate stuck on boot screen.

Perhaps, init.d script does not run... why?! I don`t know. After full inspect for this case, i finaly understand that something in dalvik-cache must be reason for this.

Any time vhen dalvik-cache was deleted, system start perfect, much slower but perfect.

I search how to eliminate dalvik-cache files from boot sequence with any tools, or script scheduler whitch is run script after OS start, but nothing usefull apps find.

Logicaly solution is if we have empty dalvik-cache files, we have safe boot into OS.

Than, finally i was find more harder solution to eliminate any *.odex files from dalvik-cache folder...

This ROM is odexed, but we need deodexed ROM and solution is find on XDA forum.

It is placed here...

and one good explanation between odexed and deodexed rom is placed here...
