What works for me is:

- Download GApps for CM7 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

- Extract files with folders

- Copy all folders from the system subfolder in the archive (folders app, etc, framework and lib) to /system on your PAS. You will need a root explorer (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc.) to do this

- Reboot

After the reboot you will be asked to enter your Google account, this basically tells you that everything went fine.

If you find car mode as annoying as I do (it always starts when pressing the home button), delete CarHomeGoogle.apk from /system/app.
[Android General] icecool_denmark:
Hi i just did as you said now i got this The application (process com.android.vending)has stopped unexpectedly? how come ? i got a Root Explorer now :) then when i try to copy all this app to system/ app pas said copy failed grrrr
[Android General] JustaBowla:
I was able to revert back to the last version and ended up doing a factory reset again. Now my Bluetooth is working again with no crash reports. I may get adventurous and update again. Right now would be the time, before I root and change things much. I'm just happy to be able to make hands free calls again and use my phones internet for Spotify again.
[Android General] warleytd:
How did you rollback to 2.1.9? When I did my factory reset it still has 2.38 version. Also do you have a copy of the 2.1.9 I can download?
[Android General] ronsno:
I'm having the same issue's, inconsistent Bluetooth. I also want to roll back 2.9 was pretty good. But I need a US version, not Belgium. Anyone have a link to a US Version of 2.9?
[Android General] ghanique:
I had this a few times when my wiring was wrong: when I turned my car off power was cut off from the PAS which resulted in the crash reports every once in a while. Now my "Continuous 12V line" is connected correctly the PAS says "Good bye!" when I turn the car off and now I don't have those crash reports anymore.
[Android General] K_Hismoom:
Did you mount system as read/write in your root explorer?
[Android General] luukx20:
I'm pretty sure I've got my wiring correct, like you say, the device says 'Good bye!' when I turn off the car. Why can we not view what's inside the crash reports?

I did the same thing yesterday evening, but instead of installing Parrot's version of Spotify I decided to give the official Spotify app another go. But now there's no sound at all.. FM and iPod play music like they're supposed to, and Spotify says it's playing but there's no sound.. Any ideas?

Edit: I let the Asteroid and the official Spotify app sync all its playlists overnight (I take the unit out of the car and connect it at home). No problems with syncing all my playlists, except for the fact that apparently Spotify has a 3,333 limit for how many songs you can make available for offline. This is stupid, I bought a 128GB SD card to sync my whole Spotify collection and now that seems a bit redundant..
[Android General] leonardo_:
Hi there

Did anyone manage to do overclock to the asteroid smart, i think if we could put it in 1000 instead 800 it would be great.

did someone manage to do this?
[Android General] mpgrimes:
To do this you would have to have a custom kernel. And then be able to flash it.
[Android General] fatdoggie:
The Unika dev is insisting that the Unika must switch the ignition power to the Smart avoid the Unika dropping out if the car goes from ACC (with the Smart booted) to ON. He also says that the Unika will output 100mA max on the blue/yellow line, which we both agree is not enough to power the Smart.

Now, perhaps I am mistaken - and I'm in no hurry to pull my dashboard apart to confirm - but my recollection is that the Smart is primarily powered via the 12v ignition line (as would be typical for a head unit) and the constant 12v line is much smaller (possibly unfused?) and is more of a battery backup and supplies enough power to handle the "vibration wake", etc but not enough to power the screen. Connecting the power incorrectly will either cause the Smart to never boot, or you will not get the "Goodbye" message and will do a hard power-off crash every time you turn the car off.

IF that is the case, I have no idea how to do what the Unika dev is suggesting without using the Unika 12v output to trigger an added relay that would pass 12v ignition to the Smart when the Unika outputs 12v on the blue/yellow line. This makes me wonder if Paser and Parrot actually TESTED this configuration on an actual resistive control vehicle, or just on a test bench with some switches and a power supplies...

If I'm wrong about this and anyone has gotten some configuration of the Unika and the Smart to work without bypassing Unika's 12v ignition control on a resistive install, please let me know!:good:
[Android General] sofakng:
Hmmm, I'm not sure but it sounds like the developer is correct because I've bypassed the Unika 12v switch and it everything seemed to be working but the steering wheel controls randomly stop working so something isn't right.

Anyways, I've decided to go a different direction and am going to use a Kenwood DNX890HD stereo. It's twice as expensive but it has Garmin navigation, satellite radio, and everything just works without having to mess around.

I really, really hope the Parrot ASTEROID Smart improves over the year and if the introduce a 7" model with some physical buttons (volume, mute, navigation button, etc), I will definitely give it another try!
[Android General] engalicorn:
Haven't installed the unika yet but the 12v constant power is connected to the fused red wire and the main power. The 12v acc wire is telling the smart to boot up so the 100ma signal supplied from the unika should be sufficient.

If you were to shut off the constant power then the unit would cold reboot everytime you turned the key.
[Android General] LSXKing:
Has anyone tried caching Slacker stations to their Asteroid smart? I signed up for Slacker Plus yesterday and went through the process for caching a station, but it doesn't do anything. I don't think the Slacker app is finding the SD card. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows a workaround.
[Android General] toberg:
Try Ultimate Rotation Control. It's what I use to make the Sirius/XM and the real Spotify app load in portrait mode.
[Android General] sofakng:
SiriusXM works, but when forced into landscape mode the scrollable part of the menu is too small to be usable. :(

However, if after you select a station the song/artist info does display just fine.
[Android General] toberg:
You can use dpi changer to make it more usable. Try 200 DPI.
[Android General] sofakng:
Interesting! I'll give it a shot... thanks for the information.
[Android General] engalicorn:
Rdio Music App

Has anyone had any luck with rdio music app? It loads, navigates perfectly and syncs music to the sd-card. But when you try to play a song it just sits there and loads. It also takes over audio system and does not release it until your force close rdio with a task manager.
[Android General] engalicorn:
Is there a risk of causing a boot loop if the resolution is incorrect?
[Android General] wrxphantom:
I got it to work on my rooted Parrot Smart. I purchased this

AGPtek® Super Mini ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth OBD2 OBD-II CAN-BUS Auto Diagnostic Scanner Tool

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008U1MOM8/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

Then i downloaded the app bluetooth auto pair from the market. Not asteroid..

After about 30 seconds the app picked up the obd2 bluetooth signal. Paired it using the code 1234 (can not be done using the regular bluetooth connection all make sure dual boot is off in the BT settings for now.)

Once paired it took thethe app torque about 30 seconds to sync with the BT obd2 and everything works great. Every time I start the car it takes 30 seconds to link up with BT device.
[Android General] toberg:
I run 200 DPI on mine and it works fine. it only works on apps that are side loaded or from the play market though. Native apps retain their resolution.
[Android General] engalicorn:
Netflix

Netflix side loads no problem on my rooted smart but it seems to struggle with even the lowest bit/rate. We need to look at overclocking this sucker!
[Android General] toberg:
Agreed.
[Android General] LAYGO:
I'm getting REALLY frustrated with the music player. It does not play randomly at all. I've got a 256GB SSD HDD in a USB3 enclosure. Every time I start the unit, it plays the exact same song & each song after that is in the exact same order. Every. Single. Time.

If I pick a random song from the list of 20,000 songs, it'll play 1-2 songs randomly, then fall right back into the same order of songs. I shouldn't see the same song for like a week! It's so fricken frustrating.

I've not yet installed VLC, but I will try it, but I kinda like the gesture support of the default player. Does VLC support gestures too?
[Android General] 0space_monkey0:
download the framework apk, copy it over to a sd card, and install it manually on the parrot.
[Android General] edit:
"Netflix side loads no problem on my rooted smart but it seems to struggle with even the lowest bit/rate. We need to look at overclocking this sucker!"

Even if you will succeed overclocking it to 1ghz and the unit will remain stable on those hot summer days I doubt that it will be enough (you will see a big improvement)

The unit needs some video hardware acceleration... i don't have a clue if has it hardware wise and it's not implemented at software level or lacks hardware badly.

Don't get me wrong, I have the unit, i like it a lot and i am hoping for the best is just I tested the unit with VLC (from asteroid store), MXPlayer (sideloaded), DicePlayer (sideloaded) and and best I could achieve is playing divx/xvid fluently, 480p encoded files . 720p mkv's were played at 4-7 fps at best with badly out of sync audio. No player was able to detect any video accelerating hardware on the unit
[Android General] riahc3:
Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for this?
[Android General] tshoulihane:
Not that it helps much, but I had a kenwood head unit that did the same. I have a sneaking suspicion that HDD read problems might have been responsible in my case, triggering a reset maybe after a timeout.
[Android General] dalamario:
It seems that it will be fixed on the next update.

Hello

I have an sensus connected touch and I'll like to try the waze from asteroid mini in my unit. I can't download it from the market as Volvo did not allow this app to be listed as an option. Is it possible for someone to download and share it with me so I can test it ? Regards

Andre
[Android General] mpgrimes:
No, because, unless I am wrong, there is no kernel source released, and if there was, there is no way to flash it due to not having a custom recovery. There would be the possibility of making a kernel and placing it in a firmware package and flash it, but that would also require the ability to create a parrot image file.
[Android General] K_Hismoom:
Great! Have fun with the PAS. :good:
[Android General] leonardo_:
so we would have to get parrot help on this?
[Android General] mpgrimes:
They have been asked before but seem uninterested in releasing any info.

[Android General] mumu02:
Thank you so much. It works fine. I've just a small issue. When installing the new framework-res.apk it disable the possibility to choose another language (french for me) for the UI. It's probably due to the fact that you started from a different language (ROM ) than me.

Im having an issue with my PAS. Im new to the device so any help is appreciated. My bluetooth/wifi only works maybe 1 out of 10 restarts on the unit. When it works, it works great but its hard to get it to work. Typically when i try turning bluetooth on it says "turning on" then times out after about 5 seconds and does nothing. When trying to turn wifi on it will do the same but say "error" and thats it. I tried 2.1.9 and the latest firmware update and am having the same problems :( not sure if its a hardware issue or something with the drivers.
[Android General] lollo78:
In my situation, after the firmware update (2.3.38.06) during a call I can hear the callers, but they cannot hear me.

I think to a bug. The same phone works like a charm with other BT system (other cars).
[Android General] ronsno:
Bluetooth

I have an escort radar installed in my car. I've discovered that if you disconnect the Bluetooth and get everything else up and working and then reconnect the escort Bluetooth it works most of the time. It's kind of a hit or miss.

Does anyone know of a Bluetooth app that can control when a Bluetooth connection is made. I want to control the sequence of when a particular device connects and or link to only connect to a particular app. Any recommendations. Thanks in advance. Ron

Whats the best navigation software for the smart asteroid??

I used Sygic, Igo and tomtom, all of them are to slow...

Do we have other software that is compatible with the smart?
[Android General] mpgrimes:
After rooting and installing google framework I just use google maps and navigation, tether to phone for data or when on WiFi, download offline maps.
[Android General] ronsno:
I use Waze. I tried Sygic and Tom Tom, both have better graphics but Waze works better. (Google owns Waze).
[Android General] andre.marino:
Hello, are you you using the waze for the mini edition ? If yes can you send me the app?

I have a oem version of the parrot that cane in my car but I cannot download the app from the asteroid market as Volvo blocked it.

Thanks
[Android General] leonardo_:
does waze has worldwide maps?
[Android General] andre.marino:
Yes. I live in Brazil and it's perfect. I've also used in South America, Europe and us.

[Android General] danieljw:
Does anyone happen to know how to update Waze on the PAS? I keep getting a pop up that there is a new version available, but I can't figure out how to update it.
[Android General] mpgrimes:
If it doesn't show in the asteroid market. You could try getting it from the play store if you have an android phone and copy the updated apk from the phone to the parrot and installing it. Otherwise root it amd install the play store on the pas. Asteroid market is always slow to update
[Android General] andre.marino:
Yes, but offline you will not have the traffic info.

Can you do me a favor ? Can you send me the waze.apk that you have ?

I'm using an oem version of the parrot and I would like to test the waze version from the asteroid market that I can't download.

You can probably use Tasker or one of the other IfThisThenThat android apps to disable BT on startup, pause for a designated length of time, then enable it again. Tasker has a forum with examples and people that will help you build your Tasks.

I use the Escort BT Radar as well. I have Tasker set to wait 30 seconds after startup, then launch Waze and Escort Live.

I do the same thing but didn't know you could disable the BT. I'll try that. Thanks.

Anyone else notice the new app called usb cam?
[Android General] The Thug:
Wow, 242 pages and I'm only on page 65 at the moment.

I'm considering importing the PAS from Amazon to South Africa and installing in my Subaru.

Just some questions in the interim:

Any Saffers that have the PAS installed?

I'm also looking at the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 as opposed to the Unika. Do the PAS updates affect the ASWC-1 as much as the Unika?

Is there an Android programme that can map SWC's like there is on Win CE6.0 devices?

Is it possible to use a bigger SD card than 8gb? I know I'll lose the iGo navigation but I use Sygic on my Samsung S3 anyway.

Is it just a question of copying over the existing directories and hidden files to the new SD card?
[Android General] ghanique:
Yes, you can insert an SD card up to 32 GB if I'm not mistaken. But you CANNOT move the maps from the iGo SDCard to another one. It won't work.

Personally I think most navigation software better than iGo, so I replaced its SD Card by a 32 GB and can no longer use iGo. I prefer Google Maps above anything else. Usually I have no need for offline navigation, but there are plenty of free offline navigation apps as well.
[Android General] luukx20:
I'm actually using a Kingston 128GB SD card with no problems at all :)
[Android General] The Thug:
Great, so there are no issues in moving all the original files and folders over to a bigger SD card (with the exception of iGO). That's good to hear.
[Android General] luukx20:
Not quite sure about all other files and folders, I just popped the empty SD card in the unit after a factory reset, so I didn't have any apps or data that I needed to transfer.
[Android General] The Thug:
aah, I was under the impression that the systems files resided on the SD Card.
[Android General] the-unknown:
hello guys.

have a problem with the bluetooth telephone. is there a possibility with tasker or another app, to disconnect bloetooth from phone, when the unit is in standby? i hate it, that the phone calls still go throuw the radio if i'm not in the car, but in the bluetooth range
[Android General] The Thug:
I see that there have been a couple of instances where the GPS receiver that comes with the PAS has bombed out. Is it worth it to purchase something like the GlobalSat BU-353-S4 receiver from the word go and use that?
[Android General] mpgrimes:
It should disconnect by itself. I have never come across this issue. I even have my sleep time set to 40 Min's. It says goodbye every time you turn key off?
[Android General] the-unknown:
Yes it does.

Thats crazy.
[Android General] mpgrimes:
Maybe it's your phone not disconnecting, thinking the car is still available . Try shutting off bluetooth on your phone, then re Enable it. See if it reconnects to the car (with car off of course)

My 3G dongle (XS Stick P14) isnt' working anymore since firmware 2.3.38.06. The modem is recognized (at least I get a pop-up window that asks to enable the usb modem), but the pop-up window for the APN settings is missing and the device isn't shown up in the mobile data menu . I tried setting the APN manually but i didn't get a connection. Also the dongle symbol does not appear. At regular intervals I get an "connection error" pop-up. It worked trouble-free with firmware 2.1.5 & 2.1.9 and even after a downgrade.

Did parrot change something in the new firmware? Is ther something i can do to get the dongle working with 2.3.38.06?
[Android General] chuque:
How are you using a larger that 32Gb card?

Would someone be willing to help me troubleshoot my root? It's my 1st time rooting an android device, and I'm running into a few issues. Also, with so many versions of apks over the last few years, I'm not sure if the instructions and apks I used are the best solutions for the present.

I can't post outside links yet, but the directions I followed are on a blog at gregbrendel dot com.

Here is what I did:

1. downloaded and installed framaroot 1.9.3 Gimli

2. rebooted and installed SuperSU

3. downloaded and installed googleservicesframework.apk

4. downloaded and installed rootexplorer.apk

5. downloaded the latest play store apk, renamed it Vending.apk, and moved it to /system/app

The result appears correct - SuperSU and Google Play appear in my apps folder. However, on every boot I get an error with SuperSU, and when I try to open Google Play I'm told that I need to create a new account, but when I try to do so it crashes. I'll write down the messages when I'm in my car next if that's necessary.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
[Android General] mpgrimes:
First. Install super su with framaroot reboot and run super su to let it update binary . You have to then use a root file Explorer and set proper permissions to the play apps. And Google framework must be in a system folder. Not just installed. I'll look for the instructions and post link in a bit

Here. Follow this. Should work fine.
