Hello

1) We have testet root on 2.3.4 and that works but you need not the original software there is a block in.

i have become one from KoTix with no MCU and root .

2a) i think that is dependig on if you have a Linux maschine or only windows

2b) you take yours own config folder and overwrite it with the folder that lays on the Kotix 2.4 version

and then have you yours own right files on android 4.0.3

2c) there are two ways first can you try not to update the MCU there is a option where you can remove the upgrade of mcu in Kotix version or you can contact the seller where you have buy the S150 and ask if the already have a original version of Android 4.0.3 and then take you just the falsh and mcu and overwrite it with kotix version.

3) all programs you have on 2.3.4 is already there on 4.0.3 and little more.

4) there is few bugs some people says that when radio is on and the go to music and go back to

radio, cam you radio and music hear. or igo stops the radio sometimes or music but that can also be up to the

MCU version. Igo have the big problem that sometimes load it not the sd card fast enought and reset the whole settings in igo. but there you just need to make a backup of the save folder and copy it back when igo make a reset, then is all as before.

5) that sounds very wired because it is not possbile to become more memory on this s150 yet so i think he only want 70 euro for

only put android 4.0.3 on it and nothing more. then have he the responsible and not you.

7) i dont know if yours system upgrade works fine in yours version but if it do can just download the android version and unpack it on the sd card and try to update from the settings/system upgrade if all works fine and you comes the menu you just follow it. if you dont come to anything or it just reboot then you need to make the fuse sd card and put into the gps slot and reboot the s150 and then it automat runs the new software

8 thats is very hard to say. if you lose or not some people says it dont work on theres cars other get it to work. so there just must just test.

I have try to answere as best i can. hopefully others answere the questions also or says if i have forgot or not compelete say all right.

Hi Kotix.

I have a I802 unit and tried your firmware 4:03, but has the problem of being alone and listening to Radio back to music.

But the rest is very good your rom.

What I would like to ask you is if you can make or develop a mod with firmware 2.3.4 but with some modifications such as PLAY STORE to give all apps etc ...

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I tryed that adding the gapps or modding build.prop to fake the unit as a nexus 4, but with no success.. :(

Hello

I have now buy sygic and i must say that is much better than igo and it have tomtom maps and work 100% as the same route as tomtom
[Android Head-Units] kokos1405:
I bought it too now that is on sale but haven't installed it yet! Hope it works ok!
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
You just install it and then download the maps you need. then you quit the program and then open es file explore and copy the whole folder sygic that lays on the intern SDcard and copy the folder to you Extsd card.

Then start the software and then put you product code in. then runs all from the extern extsd card.

but you need first time to have a internet connection to the radio.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
I just want to let you know that JetAudio breaks Next and Previous steering wheel buttons for the built in player. The problem is still there after a reset or a reflash for 2.3.4. Only removing it fixes the buttons.
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

I have now try few mcu and few kotix software but with the lasted macu version there is out i have found out this can somebody please confirn it.

When you have the volume lock control install and you here radio and start the navi or mp3 then stops the music/radio and navi speaks and when navi is finish

the music dont start again.

If you uinstall the volume control lock and then start music/radio and then start the navi then works radio and music with navi direction with out it stops or something like this.

What is you sdcard called when you put into the sdcard slot. because here have i

EXTSD = GPS slot

SDcard/SDcard = sd card slot.

so it is mountet as sdcard. but i am not sure yuo can rename the intern sdcard to something else and then you have the sdcard as you sd card slot. bceause there is something with the ramdisk and so on., there is only the developer that can do that i think

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Hello

If yuo have buy the Sygic and you would like to download most of it before go to the car and let it run because it most download the maps and so on.

then can you now do it from the pc.

Install the program on the S150 and then dont start it, copy the folder sygic onto the sdcard and

then download the maps and voice with this program

Download this program

Link

when you have download LoquendoTTS put that into the root of the interne memory and then copy the Maps and Res to the sdcard and overwrite the files if it ask to.

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Some other findings:

1. In both 2.3.4 and 4.03 firmwares bl1 and bl2 are updated correctly, it's just the comment in 2.3.4 that says just bootloader instead of bl1 and bl2.

2. the files in the raw directory of the 4.03 are older (29.02.2008) than the 2.3.4 (11.10.2012) Why did they use older files to build a 4.03 android??

3. My unit original fw raw files and i802 raw files are the same

4. In 2.3.4 updater script is missing this part:

ui_print("initializing configs...");
mount("vfat", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/bootlogo/");
copy_file("/tmp/bootlogo/initlogo.rle", "/bootlogo/");
[COLOR="Red"]copy_file("/tmp/bootlogo/config", "/bootlogo/");[/COLOR]
copy_file("/tmp/bootlogo/logo", "/bootlogo/");
[COLOR="Red"]copy_external_file("config", "/bootlogo/");[/COLOR]
init_bootlogo(0);
unmount("/bootlogo");
mount("vfat", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/preinstall/");
copy_external_file("app", "/preinstall/");
unmount("/preinstall");

note the config copy.

Stief and rahulmohandas, did you find any other notable differences?

Is there any s150 owner who have tryed to recovery using the i802 files? Do this files really work? or are we just wasting time?
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Hi Kotix,

I had the same buttons problem you're having. In my update.zip was also a config folder with different settings. I think that one was loaded.

Pressing the reset button and flashing again fixed that. But still was stuck at the logo screen.

So far still only booting correctly with 4.0.3.
[Android Head-Units] hiro-bo:
but what would be logical that it would work well would be the 2.3.4 and 4.03 mo unless that is not well done the backup of 2.3.4

should get the full firmware
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Firmware 4.03 installed flawlessy, everything work as stief said previously, i need to look at it a little deeper for now ( time to play a bit :p ).

[Android Head-Units] hititup:
Hi KoTiX2 now that you master it will make a video of ur install and put it up YouTube ( a link here) and post the file here so that ppl like me can just put it to a SD card and load it to our s100 unit??

S150 android 4.0

I got information from Chinese sources that Android 4.0 will debut this week.

The system parameters looks similar to me, except the RAM is increased to 1GB. Here is the snapshot of the parameters.

Cant wait to get the Android 4.0 RTW....I guess this is the future...

Android 2.3 S150

Stief, Kotix,

Can you guys try the following approach and see if you can fix the boot issue in Android 2.3?

S150 system recover application note

Phenomenon：Black screen when power on; Image stop on power on LOGO or android logo.

Try below steps：

1. Press “SRC” button at once and hold on after dvd has electricity.

2. You will see dvd power on LOGO display, ANDROID welcome logo display.(base the different system state, android logo don’t necessary show)

3. Release “SRC” button when hearing 3 times “beep” voice.

4. DVD will display below information：

F ormatting /data…

F ormatting /caching…

Rebooting…

5. DVD restart automatically, and into the touch screen adjustment image;

6. Do touch screen adjustment manually. Finish system recover process.

Attention：

1. DVD has electricity, you can hear beep voice when press the button key. Long press “SRC” button the system will be powered off. Press “SRC” button again the system will be powered on again.(button backlight power on). Then press and hold “SRC” button to do above system recover steps.

2. There are maybe some abnormal images when do above steps, but you still can judge if the system recover ok or not through the beep voice.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:

[MENTION=395697]rahul[/MENTION]

I already tried all the stuff you mentioned. I found them on the Russian forum.

[MENTION=1108459]kotix[/MENTION]

When signing the update.zip I noticed that the date of the files in the zip get changed to.

In my case I used files from november this year. But after signing the zip, they changed to august 2008.

Btw. I did succeed in flashing newer mcu and flash. But only boots correctly when using the 4.0.3 system.img.

Another thing.

The update firmware function from the menu works also on non bootable sd's but you have to insert them in the normal sd slot.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
[MENTION=506965]stief[/MENTION], did you see any improvements with newer mcu? Does the radio switch the memorized stations using next/fwd of sterring wheel controls?

Do you know how to flash just the mcu or just the system.img without modifiyng the updater scripts?

I've looked a bit in the system.img and some apps are missing, some permissions, wifi drivers etc.. I'm a noob in custom rom making, but definetively this beta firmware need a seroius revision.

[MENTION=395697]rahul[/MENTION] When I flashed the i802 recovery, in one of my tryes (mixing bootloader and firmwares) I saw the

Formatting /data…

F ormatting /caching…

Rebooting…

but it was bootlooping, it restart formatting after reboot.

Right now I'm just testing this rom, looking for what is working and what doesn't

What i mostly hated in the S100 was the missing folder view of the audio player and here we 've got the same damn thing :mad:

I installed Poweramp but there is no sound until i launch the original audio player or video player :mad: :mad:

The video player doesn't see any video even if it's the "Video" or "movie" or "movies" folder :mad: :mad: :mad:

The USB disk is recognized in ES File explorer as a Udisk but the other applications don't see it :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've been in contact with the russian guy who made the custom roms for s150 "Dimadina" and he's working on a custom 4.03 let's hope he can fix some of these things.

Android 4.0 S150

If i am operating the climate control in my Android 4.0 installation, i am seeing a black screen popping up for a second or 2 and then goes back to the original menu. There is a process "Com.aircondition" running on the system.

I guess there is some mismatch between the communication between canbus and android. I tried looking into adset.xml, i couldnt see a value which maps to aircon settings.

Suggestions appreciated please :laugh:
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I would try to make a list of the problems/requests in order to improve this head unit (S150). Some of the thing I write here are from Android 2.3 since I don't have installed 4.0.3 yet, I will write in paranthesis the refernce version.

- Radio (2.3):

Better UI with frequency info in small chars and RDS name instead of big chars in the middle. Could be nice to have more "room" for RDS additional info

AF function working and permanent setup. Right now the "AF" is not working and "AF On" is lost at every reboot.

- GPS: (2.3):

New version of TTS Loquendo in order to have support for last version of Sygic. Just now the music stops each time voice directions are issued and a manual restart of the player application is required.

- BlueTooth (2.3):

Support for USB dongle for i.e. Torque OBD

- General (2.3):

"Jeep" logo embedded.

Rooted ROM.

A more "Android Tablet" like UI, with "Apps" and "Widget" button.

Possibility to change the "Clock" style in the home screen, adding also a weather widget.

Standard setting for Android (USB debug, etc.)

Android ID like "nexus" for better use of the Market

This is a first list that I will update as soon I have new ideas. Anyone can feel free to add items to this! :good:
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Royalhawk

Quite a wishlist you have ;)

For now I think we should stick to the stuff that isn't working in the 4.0.3 rom and keep personal prefs for future builds.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Welcome to forum. I know that some of the features requested can be done only with a source code for the app available so will not even mention them. For a custom ROM:

1. Prerooted (as Framaroot does not work in 4.0).

2. Fix the build.prop (device descriptions). Currently many market apps will not show or install as the device appears incompatible. I even contacted some developers and they confirmed that they don't impose any limitations based on device type so it must be something wrong in description. They contacted Google which told them "contact the manufacturer of the device" to fix the problem.Try and install "Ivona TTS" for example. Some paid apps will use protection so side loading them will not work, so better fix the market access.

3. Not sure if possible, but maybe we can have more setting pages which are missing now (like access to App install and access to TTS settings).The settings are there you can access using third party apps but they don't appear in the normal Android setting pages. I'm not an expert but may be an easy way to configure which pages are shown in a custom ROM.

4. Would be nice to have a TWRP custom recovery working, will make more easy to try something in the future.

Next is a wish list (if somehow the Chinese developers read this thread :) ). I don't think any of these can be "fixed" in a custom ROM.

The sound related TTS problems mentioned may also have to do with some internal settings but they are also dependent of the GPS software used (it works with some programs like iGo and Navigon but does not work well with others like Sygic).Again, it looks like something is not configured properly on the low level. Without details I doubt this can be fixed without the original developers and full source code availability.

Of course the apps like the Radio can be improved , just make the RDS string place bigger there is lot's of space why I need a scrolling small space for the song title when you have the full screen available ?

One nice feature to have (again, this probably can only be done by the developers with access to source) is to implement a delayed timer for shutdown (there are units which have this). Should be a settings for the delay (from 0 - to 2 hours for example) for shutdown, so if active the unit goes to sleep only when the car ignition is off, but will auto shutdown after the delay if the car is not powered again. This will allow for almost instant boot if you just stop the car for a short period. This requires some hardware support (which the unit may not have, like a hardware timer to wakeup the unit after the delay to be able to do a shutdown. MTK phones have timers which shutdown and wake up the phone if set, but they are hardware timers.Would be a "nice to have" feature but not essential as the boot time is short (just a general wish list for a future unit).

PS I did not try existing 4.0 beta some of thse may be fixed already, I still use the original 2.3 firmware.

Hi Dimadina,

The things I found not to be working in 4.0.3 beta.

- videoplayer doesn't show files ( also mentioned by Kotix)

- GPS sd is read

only therefore not really usable anymore.

- USB for usb sticks not working ( also mentioned by Kotix). Usb for wifi / is working correct though.

- GPS signal is buggy. The gps test app on the unit gives to low speeds. Sygic gives to High speeds. TomTom doesn't give gps signal at all.

- Radio does not give RDS info

Good luck and let us know if we can help with something.

Automatically start IGo with 2.3.4

Hi all,

I just cant seem to get this right. I want to start the Radio and IGO automatically when I switch on the car on 2.3.4. I open up Radio and I open up IGO, then I switch off the car. It is supposed to be set to start up again next time isn't it ?

On 4.0.3 that worked fine.(Apart from the fact that IGO lost its settings from time to time due to the SD card not mounting fast enough). I just cant get that right on 2.3.4

With 2.3.4 The Radio starts automatically, but with a blank Radio screen (That I can work with, if only IGO started automatically as well).

The manual says that you have to click the physical button of the application to start when the Radio is off ? I pressed the "NAVI" button but that didn't do the trick. Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks and Regards,

Hello

To get Igo to start automatically you need to go to settings and the Go to navigation settings and set there Igo and path

Then start it self every time you start it up only if it mount the card fast enough

Hi,

I would like to use USB stick Huawei K5150 with my S150, do you have any idea you to run it? Now it doesnt respond.

Second question, I have some problems on S150(android 4.0.3) with youtube, GPS accuracy and other.. Maybe the fastest solution is to use KoTix ROM 2.4.

But i am not sure about bootloader. Should I use "u-boot_sd.bin"

I am sory but I am realy reading this thread for more than 4 ours and I am still not sure.

Last question, is there any posibility to change resistant touch screen to capciitive one? How expensive it could be?

Mira
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

you need to use u-boot_udsd for the 4.0.3, and then copy all on the sdcard and make sure it lays in the root and in the winca folder on the sdcard.

GPS i think you should try to download GPS Status that have helped me and i have accuracy and my speedometer says.

that few others have ask about "resistant touch screen to capciitive" but it seems nobody have found anything that works fine.

I045 cruze android 4.0 firmware

Here is the android 4.0 I045 Cruze firmware based on 20140606. Courtesy of Allen Wong.

hxxps://mega.co.nz/#!uh5TUD4S!vZz5BDw3PlKxFHbLj9oXrGBGMF8haowgzO4pKfnMKgs

Some of the bugs i noticed are

1. Steering wheel forward and reverse works in the opposite direction.

2. FM stations start scanning for new stations automatically.

3. Steering wheel control with FM scans for the next station rather than selecting the saved station. I have seen this bug in one of the initial version of 4.0 back in jan.

Pro's

1. I feel sound quality is better. In i001 loudness had to be enabled in DSP manually, while here it is automatically enabled and provides better sound.

2. New "System settings"" which supports Canbus, all temperature controls working, yet to check all the other system setting options.

The difference i observed with the i001 and i045 are

1. i045 contains encore.apk which is responsible for canbus controls

2. MCU is M004 as opposed to K004 in i001

3. FactoryModeValue.xml has BusType ="19"

4.

personize.prop has additional values, guess these are parameters for encore.apk

ro.default.canbus1.pkg=com.winca.encore

ro.default.canbus1.cls=com.winca.encore.EncoreActivity

5. ADSet.xml has different values for V4 and v6, its Rem_ff and Rem_fr as opposed to Rem_next and Rem_prev in i001. Tried changing this to fix the steering wheel issue. Looks to be a MCU problem?
[Android Head-Units] mtresk:
This is not a bug. Just set Special="2" in FactoryModeValue.xml

You were right mtresk, special=2 solved the autoscanning issue, thanks much!!

Just realized that Canbus type (##0323), revealed lot of supported models.i believe what's missing for full support of all the models would be the corresponding apk's (encore.apk,megane3.apk etc..) :)
