Far too curious. Far too cowardly.

Heh. Still too chicken to try it myself. :p

Couple of questions :

1) What doesn't work (that you know of) ?

2) Is the TV-Tuner software present ? Are all Video inputs available and working ?

3) rooting/framaroot still working ?

It would be great to see a small video of a brave soul who's flashed his S150 with this firmware, just to see how it acts (boot time ? Radio App ? Is the hidden BT menu still present ? Stability issues -bound to be there in a Beta release- ?)

Thanks for sharing this !
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Yes, Grassi.

Do it if you want
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
1) One thing is not working correctly is color button chooser. It selects everytime Orange.

2) Tv tuner is working (my unit has dvb-t)

3) Not tried yet, however I doubt it will work.

I flashed back original firmware because i don't like unfinished things ;)

However this new firmware is very usable.

Thank you, I will download the firmware and probably I will try. It could be useful to have a step-by-step procedure to install this SW and, in case of problem, roll back to the original one.

Any way to download this WITHOUT using their download manager ? I never install any proprietary managers, don't trust them, and this site does not seem to offer an option. Can somebody more adventurous make a copy on another site ? I can fire a Virtual Machine, I know, but maybe somebody already did it.Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Gassi2106:
I will upload it today in a other mirror.

To download without their manager, just click on the file name...It worked for me! :D
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Agreed.

While the steps in the previous recovery weren't really rocket science, a fully discribed step-by-step would be a usefull addition to many of us.

And a rundown on this versions' behaviour in terms of boot time, working speed and stability, rootability .... too. For example, did anything change in terms of behaviour in Play Store ? Added compatibility with other Navi software which gave sound problems under 2.3 ?

But also a bit more out of the box : For example, I needed the Root to enable Adhoc. I know Adhoc is pretty much broken in 2.3, but I thought it's fixed starting 4.x. Another example : Torque supports USB OBD2 interfaces starting Android3.x . So it should work under this 4.x too, no ?

So many questions. :laugh: Exiting times ahead, I think.

Do you need a standard "2DIN" unit or a kit for a specific car ? I bought my unit (kit for SantaFe 2013) from this seller: http://stores.ebay.ca/ULikeShop?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 ; They have now kits for many different car types (and a standard 2 DIN).They shipped really fast the unit arrived in 5 days.

If yoor car is old and just needs a standard 2DIN, this is it: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/6-2-Android-...Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item4d0d88e507

If your car is newer and you can find it on the list better get a kit, it will include the proper faceplate, cable harness (so you don't need to cut cables) and the CANBUS adapter so you can use steering wheel controls from your car. I recommend to find and order a proper rearview camera, the unit has the inputs but does not come with a camera. There are many on eBay look for one which can easy mount (again you may find one which mounts on your car for example on the bulb place of your license plate ) or some general one. Get a CCD one they are better than CMOS ones. Any rearview camera will work, as standard composite video signal is used (goes directly to the LCD not through OS).

This unit also support a front DVR camera, but to be able to use it with the unit software you need to get the one they specify, there is only one Front DVR camera supported, is this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Car-DVR-Came...899?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f28b5d543 available on eBay or aliexpress from different sellers (I don't use one, but may be useful).

I attached also a few pictures with different screens, if it looks like any in picture (and has a Samsung SoC) is most likely an S150.On this seller at least, look for the units with the "Orbitz" screen (attached) these are all S150. Other sellers may show other screens, the one with the clock is the main screen. If you see other main screens (more standard Android look) they probably are other models, not the one discussed here.

Manufacturer (hidden) settings

Good to remember. There is a hidden menu where you can set a few things, like the Radio region. Most important for me (thanks kaween) was to set the CANBUS type. Without it steering wheel controls did not work, even if I had a car kit. You go in there:

go to BT (phone) dialer and dial #*98723 + call.

For me I had to select the second available bus type from the list. Probably the default setting (first one) means disabled (I don't read Chinese, somebody who reads, may confirm). As the list is long you may need another bus type, depending of your car. This will work if you have a "kit" unit , for the standard 2DIN one you don't have a CANBUS adapter so will not work. After a factory default reset or a firmware update the settings go back to default (first selection for bus type and Europe for Radio). There are a few other settings available, if anybody plays with them please post. These settings or the way to get to them are not described in the manual.

If anybody plays with newer, beta firmware please check that the code is unchanged and you can still access these settings.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

The device (at least original firmware) can be rooted with Framaroot ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 ). After root install BusyBox from market also as many programs with root access require it. If somebody installed the 4.0 beta, try and see if Framaroot still works (or they closed the vulnerability used).

Bootloop?

Hello!

My S150 won't start up anymore. It's stuck in some kind of bootloop. I don't know what happened. It stops at the "Android" logo. But when I turn the volume knob or the volume on the steering wheel control the status bar drops down and shows the volume change. Is there a way to restore the unit? Pushing the reset button doesn't help. I have read the instructions for the bootloader installation using Linux but that is way to complicated for me I think.

Please help!
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Turn on device pushing power button for few seconds.

It should start unit factory reset.

S100 C045 (cruze) sound missing after upgrade

Was able to install the Android 4.0.3 on my S100 Wince device. Infact, had trouble with the sd_fusing,sh. Had to execute the fdisk commands manually to create the bootable sd.

After Android 4.0 installation, the sound stopped working. I believe it's got to do with the canbus? Tried updating the Adset.xml and Wheelvalue.xml for C045 to the config folder and reinstalled again. It's still not helping.

Would appreciate input to resolve this please.
[Android Head-Units] hiro-bo:
He excuses for my Englishman but I congratulate you on your work wait with desire your for progress and to be able to install android in my s100

:good:
[Android Head-Units] stief:
I had the same problem after doing a factory reset with 4.0.3. Had to reflash with the right config to fix it the firt time.

Later I found out I had to play with the canbus setting.

Change it do a reboot and test.

In my case my steer controls did not work. I could set them correctly and save them but they would't work.

After playing with the canbus setti gs and rebooting I got it to work.
[Android Head-Units] hiro-bo:
Stief,

when you have solved problems you think you can create a manual awkward to install android on s100 and not die trying

thanks in advance

Don't worry, I will

@rahulmohandas

Hi Rahul,

A few questions for you.

Dit you notice updating Bootloader bl1. and bl2. ?

Can you flash a 2.3.4 firmware?

Stief
[Android Head-Units] rahulmohandas:
Hi Stief,

Yes i did see both the bootloaders bl1 and bl2. I havent tried 2.3. Will try and let you know,

When you say played with canbus settings, did you mean change something in the configs or something in the android UI? I am now skeptical if the mcu.bin does indeed contain the cruze canbus setting.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
I'm also a bit skeptical about the mcu.

I changed the canbus settings from the menu. Had to do a restart after the changes.
[Android Head-Units] rahulmohandas:
"I changed the canbus settings from the menu."

Can you elaborate where this is done please? i was trying to access the hidden settings through "* # 98723 + call", but that doesnt seem to work. I am able get get the sound back now. Just the steering controls are not working.

Also tried 2.3 firmware, it's giving me an error while loading update_sd.zip. will troubleshoot this later.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
In the settings menu there is an option "Enineering" If you select this and enter 98723 you're in.
[Android Head-Units] rahulmohandas:
Awesome..Problem solved on Android 4.0. I am able to access the system through steering wheel. Thanks much stief.

I guess it's still not reading mp3's though usb is recognized.

i installed the 2.3 image successfully, Upon reboot it's getting stuck on the boot screen (G with a globe inset).

If anyone has pointers how to go back to Wince, it's very much appreciated. Tried installing wince image on a class 10 SD card as per witson's recommendation. It doesn't seem to work for me. I guess we need to use eboot to load boot.nb0 and xip.bin. Let me know if anyone has pointers to fix this.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Good to know. This has changed in 4.0. In 2.3 there is no "Engineering" you need to go to Phone dialer and dial the code to get there.

I see in config folder a file called FactoryModeValue.xml. I think the CAN BUS defaults can be set in here I think is BusType which probably has to match the selection . I see also a Radio region which is set on the same engineering menu, so probably a correct file for the car will set all correctly. On my car I don't have a correct configuration (guess they forgot to set it) so after a factory reset I need to go each time and change the Bus from first to second type (I suppose from 0 to 1).

For installing 2.3 mihaiolimpiu is the best, he had his unit "semibricked" more or less in the same state you get it after a failed upgrade attempt and was able to fix it with the Recovery SD somehow. He posted more info about his steps on the other thread (OUKU) before this thread was created.

It's true, his unit came with Android already but something went bad during upgrade to a newer firmware and he got in the same state. He was even able to get to an internal USB device port and connect via adb (not something I want to do, for sure) before getting the SD recovery to work.

For rooting in 4.0 I think the best hope is that somebody with contact to Chinese developers (maybe our Russian friends ?) will be able to get an utility or a pre rooted firmware, when the 4.0 is released officially. if not without adb access chances are very slim. On Ouku somebody wrote a different firmware module but that unit is using Freescale which is open source and has very good developer support and tools. Not sure about this Samsung SoC, how good the community support is. If not I will stay with 2.3.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
As you know, I have the 1102 firmware version. Today I switched OFF the unit before to stop the engine and wait the complete shut down. When I switched ON the unit, I see an error about Titanium backup. Try to start IGO, Sygic, etc. but I got errors and applications doesn't start. The solution was to make a factory reset and install back everything. I think that the "error framework" problem has been fixed with this release, but something is still wrong. Another problem is about the Radio. IMO the sensivity is reduced and the RDS data dsiplay is not working well. If you change station also the radio station name should change but, sometimes, it continues to display the old one.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I discovered another issue. I have a couple of Headrest monitors installed in my car. To day I played in he headunit, from the SD card a movie for my daughter. In the rear monitors, selecting AV input, I don't see anything. I am shure the monitors are working and are connected in the right way to the headunit. In the "rear zone" menu, I have "synchronyzed" as setting.

[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
No actually I'm not aware of any way to fix it... this bug only occurs when starting the unit and shutting it down really fast... kinda like when you left your window open, you turn the ignition on to roll up the window and immediately remove the key, the radio doesn't have the time to do a complete Start/Shutdown cycle, it needs like 40 seconds to do it.

try to use Titanium Backup and after reset just restore the apps you want...

Hello

I have today decied to try to update my S100 to Android but just to be sure i would like to ask if this is right

I shall use this version for my model ?

Official 4.03 Aroma-Root_v2.0

First of all My model is C037

http://cdn3.xda-developers.com/images/attach/jpg.gif

So the Abset.xml shall look like this ....

The last part is the software to the Navi that is a .apk that you install on the unit

but where do you put the content folder on the GPS slot or on the sd card or intern ?

I have ordre a Wifi stick for the internet but not arrive yet, is there a way from my Android handy

to share the internet to the unit over apps or something

For what i can see just comparing the files, kernel, recovery,ramdisk has changed

All the binary files, framework and apk has changed, also i've seen changes in the smali code of the radio and bt.

Fstab has changed adding 2 more USB mounting point.

With no sound from SD do you mean you have sound only from radio, DVD and BT?

I have this question

Do any of you know what it might be for the firmware ?

youtube.com/watch?v=NTITylMncao

I care about this because I installed this unit in Peugeot 407

( A lot of effort it cost ..... I had to separate the radio from the screen , etc. . )

Since the Peugeto 407 can not install radio 2 DIN )

But the screen of the radio Witson had put in place a factory display

and now I lost control air conditioning and a view of the data from the onboard computer .

In this video you can see that the data from the computer are shown in this firmware .

My second question is this . What can happen if the program SetUpdateXML_EN

I set my model C083 instead of another , for example, C190 or C017 which is the option to display data from your computer and indicator otwartch door.

Of course I would leave my settings display type ?

Do you think it will work now that my Peugeot 407 I use the radio firmware from Peugeot 308.408 and control of the steering wheel works ..

The attachments photos taken from the latest firmware received from the ROADNAV catalog Peugeot 308 are the photos ... which displays data from a computer ...

V2 Firmware upgrade Adventures.

My

I have a C203 converted to a S150.

Have flashed the original firmware and again KoTiX2's V1.1.

Most things working OK except for the usual suspects.

Took a punt and flashed V2 with the lot.

All went well, got to upgrading MCU........Waiting........

About 45mins later still the same, somethings not right. Scary!

Bugger it! This is going to get nasty but I did it anyway.

I turned off the ignition, the radio stayed on ?

I disconnected the battery looked back inside and the flash prcess had started again.

OK I thought.

It actually finished ( remove sd card ).

It booted up, Yeah!

I checked a couple of things, paired my phone and then in Bluetooth the screen faded to white with vertical lines.

I thought I had done it now!

Turned it off then on and made some more changes and all seems well.

DVR works

Reverse camera works.

Sygic GPS seems to be stable

SWC work

accessing Playstore gave a couple of graphical glitches but settled down.

All good, will see how it goes in the next few days.
