First post...

First off to robbiekhan your pics are what helped me buy and fit mine so thanks for that!

Secondly I'm having issues trying to get the Ram expander working. I use Co-Pilot which seems to eat it up a little. I did manage to root the device but Super User kept having crashes which is probably why I never got the Ram expander to work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as this is all a bit new to me - I did follow the guide earlier in this thread but I'm wonder if the version of super user was too new perhaps?

Cheers,

Dave
[Android General] fotolom:
Problems with root appears when use Super User. Try Super SU.
[Android General] daveo132:
Thanks, I'll double check what I was using because as you've mentioned Super User SU, I'm thinking it might have been that...

I'm going to try and run through it again sometime this week and see what happens.
[Android General] daveo132:
It was SuperSU that I was having the problem with. It was part of the Framroot install but I've installed the standalone over it and so far no issues.

i have a real issue with my parrot asteroid smart. for some reason the smart launcher pro stopped working (i replaced first the digital clock widget on the main into analog one and later removed the analog clock widget). Since then i'm getting all the time error - "The application Smart Launcher Pro (process ginlemon.flowerpro) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Radio is still working, rear camera as well but besides that i can't do anything. I tried already flashing with the parrot firmware but still getting the same error - as flashing doesn't change the sideloaded apps and settings. How to go back to the standard launcher or how to fix that?
[Android General] fotolom:
You need to do factory reset. One way - so called "Brutal factory reset", how to do:

https://devzone.parrot.com/wiki/asteroid-devzone/How_to_do_a_Brutal_Factory_Reset_

But someone, who tryed, said, that doesn't work on 2.3.38.xx.

Another way - flash 2.1.9 firmware, than 2.3.38.xx again.

May be 2.1.9 must be another region. Flashing 2.3.38.xx makes factory reset.
[Android General] proxonic:
thanks fotolom. That brutal reset i tried - it works on 2.3.38.xx but it doesn't do the full reset. I will try to flash with 2.1.9 and then with 2.3.38.22.
[Android General] fotolom:
It's realy works. I do it myself when catch a bootloop. I flashed 2.1.9 en, than back 2.3.38.22 of my region and Parrot rised from the brick.
[Android General] proxonic:
where can i get 2.1.9 en from?
[Android General] fotolom:
Do you need 2.1.9 en? I can upload it on Yandex.disc. Can you download from it? What is your region?
[Android General] proxonic:
my region is PL. I don't have yandex account. Do i need one to download the file? I have onedrive, box, google drive accounts.
[Android General] fotolom:
I think it's no need in account. Try to download this file:

https://yadi.sk/i/FjmztO6rcfFFe

2.1.9 en now uploading. Wait.

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

One more idea. You can downgrade to 2.1.9 PL, than flash to 2.3.38.22 EN with factory reset, than flash 2.3.38.22 PL.

---------- Post added 8th December 2015 at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was 7th December 2015 at 11:31 PM ----------

proxonic, here is 2.1.9 EN:

https://yadi.sk/d/cMWI9nQkm4bjr
[Android General] proxonic:
thanks a lot fotolom. Is the file already there?

Actually i found some 2.1.9 on my pc and flashed to that one (error was still there) and then flashed to 2.3.38.22 - and error is still there.

Why are you saying from 2.1.9 PL to 2.3.38.22 EN and then to PL? From 2.1.9PL to 2.3.38.22 PL will not do the factory reset?

I will try again that brutal factory reset - i missed that portion, that there is a special plf file for that - very small one.
[Android General] fotolom:
The 2.1.9 en already uploaded.

In previouse post I quote announce of 2.3.38.17. It was sayed that upgrade from 2.1.9 to 2.3.38.17 of different region erase apps and data. If region is the same, apps and data saved.

It's seems that brutal factory reset doesn't works on 2.3.38.22. Try it when downgrade to 2.1.9.

Downgrade and upgrade 2.3.36.22 -> 2.1.9 -> 2.3.38.22 (different regions!) allready reanimate four or five Parrots.
[Android General] proxonic:
fotolom - it worked!!! thanks a lot. Little bit different way - downgrade to 2.1.9 EN from you, then brutal reset with that small plf file... (after that was already working) and then upgrade to 2.3.3.38 PL :)

I will never ever use the smart launcher again. Btw. you have on your yandex a nice picture of the launcher. Is it the standard one or some additions?
[Android General] fotolom:
Launcher is Holo Launcher, but may be other. I tryed to use Parrot's Dashboard Widget and cut a bottom part of it. If used standard Launcher it looks not very nice because of Launcher's grid 3x2:

If the launcher allows you to change the size of the widget, it looks more better:

The map is Yandex Widget. It's beautifull, but not useful.

All this investigations were interesting, but useless. Because most often Parrot works as Navigator.

sd problem

guys i have a problem.

i lost my igo sdcard (have't used it in a while)

now i turn up my smart, try to insert an sd card but the "install/Mount sd card" option is greyed out!!!!

do you know how can i fix it????

i tried with several cards but it doesn't seem to work!
[Android General] edit:
Hello Parrot Smart users,

I've moved on from Smart a while back fed up with it's shortcomings to a Chinese unit and did a lot of writing, more or less blog style right here :

Hope you find it usefull

Good luck !

[MENTION=4610808]fotolom[/MENTION]

How did you modify the dashboard widget? I would like to have the music part and two buttons for brightness control.
[Android General] fotolom:
It's bottom part of Parrot's Dadhboard Widget. There is no reason install it with Parrot's Launcher 3x2, only 4x3 or third part. Two versions: with three dots at the end of long track's names and autoscrooll. Album art and text are clickable. Album art - source menu, text - mediaplayer.

There are no buttons for brightness in original widget. Only volume +/- and VoiceReco/Apps.

In my Parrot brightness controlled automaticaly by Locale and Twilight plugin. It's no need in manual change.
[Android General] ghostdex:
Okay thanks. I had to disable the automatic brightness control, because Navigon crashes (route recalculation) whenever the brightness mode will change.
[Android General] John73Ny:
The only thing you can try is this one running 2.1.9.

Much more faster than the 2.3.xx and stable

Thanks looks cool...main problem is i cant run latest google or sygic navigation and am stuck with ancient versions of this which ruins the whole purpose of having a headunit if i cant even put a decent navigation on it...nowadays I pretty much use the asteroid for what i used my stock unit, just the fm radio
[Android General] RichieB:
Tomtom 1.4 still runs fine. Even though the latest official map for Tomtom 1..4 is v950 I am now using 1.4 DFox with v960 including the live services. No need for me to use anything else for navigation just yet.
[Android General] ghostdex:
Does tomtom lower the music volume during navigation commands? Last time i tried tomtom it was difficult to unterstand the commands.
[Android General] RichieB:
On my SCT (unit based on parrot smart) TomTom pauses the music when giving commands.
[Android General] devoidx:
Well that's my point...1.4 is an outdated version of the software and you'll never be able to upgrade your TomTom's software beyond 1.4 because of Parrot's ancient OS and the lack of ability to upgrade the OS.
[Android General] awellam:
Has anyone else had issues with the audio starting to cut out or stuttering after using navigation for 45mins to an hour? I only notice this on long drives and on a couple of occasions it's resulted in the head unit becoming completely unresponsive and requiring a hard reset.

Asteroid Smart no display.

Hi, I picked up a used asteroid smart. I was able to get power to the unit with a ac/dc converter at 12v. I get a white light at the power button, nothing happens when I press it. I placed an sd card with the .plf file from the parrot website. Everything seems connected inside. Any clues?

Red and yellow wire to positive.

Black (ground) to negative.

Asteroid smart Reflash.

Hi everyone, I tried following this guide "andronblog.com/dev/how-to-reflash-asteroid-smart-with-corrupted-rom/" to reflash my asteroid. It gets power, nothing pops up on display. I got pretty far on the guide, I kept getting an error when installing the payload:

On PC:

Send payload…

Buffer not fully transmitted : 37376

sent 0/323122048

Buffer not fully transmitted : 0

sent 37376/323122048

send payload -> usb error : (-19) No such device

sent 37376/323122048

— payload flashing KO —

The author mentioned it could be a hardware error, couldn't provide further aid. Anyone have any suggestions on what the hardware error might be? I noticed that with "closing the contacts" part of the guide, i just place a copper wire in between the points, i was assured this was closing the contacts. With or without the wire, it yields the same result. Any help would be great! my last result, till i toss it.

Thanks,

Joe

I just got a new car and removed my Asteroid Smart from the old one. It works great and has the Unika controller too. Anybody want to buy it all for $350?
[Android General] pdappcgeek:
I rebooted my AS and to my horror upon bootup it said searching for file. After it restarted, It appears the OS reinstalled itself and I lost root. I did not lose any installed apps or settings.

I then ran framaroot and regained root but I've noticed ramexpander gets an error now every time it starts and closes. Play store gets an error and can't start up too.

Any ideas?
[Android General] Taomyn:
You will have also lost the Google framework libraries, so you need to copy the APK back to system and reboot.

Hey guys, Is everyone aware of the live wallpaper "Projectm"? In my opinion, I owe to you all to bring it to your attention.

I think it's amazing and a must have (beuatiful... moves to the music). Ive gotten so many compliments on it.

I do have a question about .apk installations though- can someone give me a 101 about how .apk directory/permissions affect apps installation?....... i recently reinstalled Pojectm live wall paper but this time the live wallpaper doesn't carry over when I reboot. I remember last time I installed it, projectm was finicky about its location when installing the apk. Ive tried and teied this time and searched and searched...but bo luck. I vaguely remember it was somethingthing to do with installing it feom either root or putting it in system/app. How does all that work?

Thanks for the help!
[Android General] pdappcgeek:
A lot of apks give me a unable to parse error too when I try to install. This is related to permissions/the location of the APK when trying to install?
[Android General] duckygo:
No, that is not related. It is probably because your APK file is not compatible with the Android version 2.3.7 that the Parrot is running on.

Some background info:

To be able to run it on an Asteroid, your APK file must have a 'minSdkVersion' value of 10 or less. See developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html ; 10 is GINGERBREAD_MR1 (Android version 2.3.4). Parrot firmware 2.3.38.x has Android version 2.3.7 .

The 'Android Asset Packaging Tool' (elinux.org/Android_aapt) gives information about an APK file. Example of invocation:

$ aapt list -a SpareParts.apk | grep minSdkVersion

An APK file is just a zip file. Rename the file so that the file extension becomes .zip and you will be able to unzip its contents.

Hi All

My original GPS dongle failed.

When the GPS stopped working, I didn't initially know it was due to a failed dongle.

The first thing I did was to update the Smart firmware to the latest version.

When updating the unit, it failed on updating the GPS firmware.

Now, everytime the unit boots, it tries to update the GPS firmware. After about 20 seconds it times out and the unit boots normally.

I contacted Parrot support and they were unable to provide me with a replacement GPS dongle or a solution to stop the unit from trying to update the GPS firmware everytime it boots.

I have since bought a GlobalSat GPS dongle and it works flawlessly, but I am still stuck with the firmware trying to update on every boot.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this from occurring?

Thanks in advance guys.

Hello, I'm trying to install Unika in my '08 Accord... is my car resistive, kbus, or CAN? What's the differences?
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
Hey, the difference is pretty much on how the different car parts talk to each other over electronics. Each one is like a different language and talking to them in the wrong langauge will not do the job. I guess your Honda service could tell you, or you can try digging through online knowledge sources.

iGo?

Hi, I bought used PAS 2 weeks ago, and I'm very satisfied about that. But there is one problem.

SD Card where should be all iGo files was formated, so I can't start iGo. I try to find some files in intrnet and now I can start iGo but after that there is info:

"Cannot open the available map files with your license"

Anybody have some idea how to repair this iGo?

Thanks.
[Android General] mpgrimes:
Quite simply, you can't... At least I've never found a way
[Android General] Cr1msonFir3:
I installed a different SD card in my Parrot. I accidentally hit the iGO app the other day and it seemed to do a clean install onto the SD card. I don't know if it's been updated since I haven't had time to look at any of it yet. Try wiping the iGO files from the SD card first. Hope this makes sense. Kinda tired.....
[Android General] kiswum:
There is probably nothing you can do. It's a problem with many phones that I've reviewed in the last 8 months.

It seems to be a problem with the newer Mediatek chipsets together with the current drivers of our headunit. My Sony Xperia Z3 compact doesn't have this problem and other Qualcomm based phones will probably work as well.

Phones I've reviewed and didn't work:

Letv Le1

Vkworld 6375

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro

Kingzone K2

Ulefone Paris

Kazam Tornado 348.

Phones that did work:

Samsung S6 Edge

Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro/prime

Sony Xperia Z1c/z3c

Umi C1 (2014)

All phones can connect without problems with my BT headset from the brand Jabra.

You are right... There is no possiblity to restore license. So I found other way... By Titanium Backup I uninstal stock iGo, wipe all data to clear files from this stock iGo and now I will instal other (fresh) iGo with actual maps. :)
[Android General] silver_dragon1:
G'day Guys,

This thread appears to be the most popular Parrot Asteroid related thread on the entire internet so ill try my luck here being pointed in the right direction.

I've installed a Parrot Asteroid Tablet in my car. Rooted it, installed the play store etc. Basically it's run out of storage. Moving as many apps as possible to the 32gb SD card I put in it seems like a no go. Android 2.3 is too outdated for my use. Installing a Nexus 7 isn't really an option due to the design of the dash, radio and wiring.

I would like to update the tablet part of the install with something newer while keeping the "ebox" under the dash. I've tried an on the go cable with my Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy S4, plugged directly into the mini usb port on the ebox that the tablet communicates with. As you'd expect, no luck! There was zero communication whatsoever.

What am I likely going to need to do to make what ever tablet or phone i choose send signals and work with the ebox? Is there a way to extract what ever files used on the Parrot tablet in regards to communication with the ebox over to a new device?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Stefan
[Android General] limited_imagination:
Although I expect it to be a difficult, if not impossible task, I thought I'd play with getting Romraider running on the PAS.

That will first require a version of Java to run on the PAS.

After fiddling around with various versions of Jbed for Gingerbread, and reading LOTS of frustrated people's reports of dead ends, I finally found a version of Jbed that appears to work on the PAS.

It's the one posted by ummarrkhan, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560158

Obviously, the PAS has to be rooted, for this to work.

Extract the libjbedvm.so file, and copy it into the system/lib folder.

Reboot.

Then install the Jbed.apk file.

Reboot.

Run the "Java" app that appears in your app folder, and it should show an SD card folder directory, where you can search for JAR files.

I haven't got anywhere with Romraider yet, and haven't tried any other JAR files, either, but for anyone who had a reason to run a JAR file on the Parrot, this may be the ticket.

This is the first time I have got the Jbed Java app to work without forced closes or lockups, so it's a step forward worth posting about. I expect some JAR files will work, and some will not, given the mixed reviews of people who actually got Jbed up and running.

The working Jbed.apk version is dated 11/17/2013, and it's 1540 KB, and the libjbedvm.so file is 3188 KB and also dated 11/17/2013.

Getting my radio today. I hope to get my Unika by Friday so I can give it a try this weekend and that is of course if I get my harness from David aka SVXdc by Friday too. I do believe he knows how to setup Unika. I know it has been done on 2012 Forester so 2011 WRX should not have any problems. One thing I know is that our cars use canbus but as far as what cable goes where I am not yet sure.

I might do a write up when I am installing mine. Only problem is that I get way too excited and I never spend time on writing one but since no one has done one for the Subaru world I might jump in on this one.

Hi,

I have installed my Asteroid, but I have two doubts.

The voice of Google navigation is very low and the control volume it is the same that the music so I can't modify it. Other thing, is it possible change the voice en Navigation for Pico Parrot?

My other doubt is regarding Google play music the app works fine but only with the local music. There is not option to set up my Google account

Booth app are the last version.

[Android General] deanesn:
I am pretty sure 2011 are canbus since my friend with his 2011 had researched and said we are on canbus which I was surprised since most cars after 2007-2008 switched to resistance. I've been plenty wrong before so don't quote on this. I will find out in a few days and I will let you know.
[Android General] Bikegeek:
I think you're right - from Wikipedia:

New technology

Since the 2005 model year, Subaru has adopted the Controller–area network (CAN) bus technology for the USA and Canada markets. Starting in the 2007 model year, all Subaru vehicles use the CAN technology.[citation needed] Typically, two CAN-buses are used on vehicles: a high-speed CAN running at 500 kbit/s for powertrain communication, and a low-speed CAN running at 125 kbit/s for body control functions and instrument panels. A body-integrated unit (BIU) is used between these two networks.

I shot an e-mail to SVXdc, let's see what he knows.

Thanks.
