Haha nothing is missed by you ;)

I hope he means copy. Otherwise I have to learn how to do a custom installation of an APK. And I would have missed a new very important feature in Android. :)

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Wow just realized how many pages you guys added in the few days I was off line.

I need to download a new rom, new custom APK's.........

Good work guys!!!
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
I would guess he means place the igo map folder into that location. I presume you install the igo apk/software as per normal.
[Android Head-Units] DSGVW:
Yes install igo primo.apk as normal and then copy the "iGO" folder with maps, content, sys.txt, etc into the "sdcard" folder I mentioned. Works great!

hey guy's i having a serious issue with my s150 i140 ford focus head unit.

my leds dont light up at all, only the source button is always on the other ones are always off.

changing colors in de menu does nothing.

changing the color values in the FactoryModeValue does nothing.

have tried resetting using the button method and using factory reset option in the menu nothing helps.

only time i can force the leds to light up is when disconnect power cord in the back

then it only lights up for a few seconds during boot up, before it's fully booted it's already off again.

i have added my config folder for anyone interested to have a look at it.

have not tried to flash it yet might try that if all els fails.

You need to turn the headlights in your car.
[Android Head-Units] sengoku:
i have tried switching headlights on/off but to no avail.

i have noticed that my screen goes slightly darker with the car lights on so some how the device can sens my car light status or is it because my car battery is dieing? anyone can confirm headlights status changing screen brightness??

s100

Hey guys, can I update S100 - c209 with i209 ?? everything works after update ? I mean gps, canbus, ...
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
u could try to edit the ADSET.XML to this

<DATE>
<define id="140" derivativeID="0" name="I140"/>
<openLogo id="0"/>
<LCD id="1"/>
</DATE>

if it didnt help then Your Canbusadapter didnt recognize the Light signal

You can Fix it by adding switched 12V to the Powercord called Illum
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Correct. The moment the "Illumination" line gets power, the buttons SHOULD light up, and indeed your screen will become slightly dimmer. The fact your unit does dim the screen means that indeed, at least the illumination line-status is being recognized. I honestly can't imagine your battery being the culprit there.

You could try resetting the device. Not really expecting it to make much of a difference, but I've seen odder things working for no reason at all after a system reset. :p (Insert random IT-crowd quote ...)
[Android Head-Units] sengoku:
thx i try that and let you know how it works out..
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
I'm using your app : everything ok, but when radio loses focus and stops (if I run other apps), when I reselect radio the frequency, name, and frequency bar doesn't move anymore. All the functions are correctly executed, but the interface doesn't update. To get the normal working interface I have to terminate (close) radio app and relanch it again. really a sin because the graphics in that way is more acceptable.... any way to fix the problem?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Have observed the same problem once, haven't been able to replicate it since then.

Start radio, went into total commander, came back, and indeed : radio app not updating.

Powered off radio.

Power up radio, went into total commander agagin, came backup. Keeps working. Went into Sygic, came back, radio keeps responding. Started Viper4android's interface, came back, went into poweramp, came back, radio still responsive.

So there's _something_ odd, but I'm not able to reproduce the exact conditions.
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
Everytime I start radio, then I run PowerAmp and then again radio the interface is no more updated i have to close and open radio to get interface working again.... This is systematic. I use ADW Launcher on 2.3.4 ver GRJ22.V4.04.08-20140115.... With standard radio app this doesn't happen.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
You are correct. Can reproduce it now. But the odd thing is : it only happens when I shift focus/navigate in a mediaplayer first. Simply running the app is not enough to cause the issue, so if I select a player and I don't touch the dials of it to select another song than the one the player initially started playing, there's no issue.

If i startup any other type of program, I can do whatever I want (enter a new destination adres, change options in Total Commander ect) and on return the radio stays responsive. If I startup a mediaplayer everything stays fine till I navigate/select another song or whatever.

Strange. It's like something is missing in the initialisation of the enviroment variables on startup with the modded version. The question then is : why does it have issues with a shift of focus to a mediaplayer, but not to another application ?!

But I'll using the moded version for the time being, hopefully some solution can be found for this.
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
I have the same behavior also with Internet radio Apps. So it's not only poweramp... the modded Radio app interface stop working....
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
As I said, "A" mediaplayer app. I've tried a couple of them (Rocket player, the stock player, Poweramp, and a couple of others I've never heard of before) and it goes wrong the moment you start an action that really starts an audio stream.

For example, in Rocket Player I can change the settings, select other fonts, artwork, ..... all without any repercution on the functionality of the FM app. If however I actually launch an audio stream in Rocket Player, the FM app will not respond in terms of screenupdates. (But also this is not entirly true : I've noticed that if you switch radio BAND from FM to AM for example when the FMapp isn't updating anymore, the frequency denominator (the Khz or Mhz Indication) DOES display correctly in function of the selected radio band, where as the frequency value itself doesn't.

So it's not the acutall launch of the other app, it's not even the screen focus : it's the moment the AUDIO focus changes that the FM app isn't able to recapture its screen functionality. I find that very odd.

Short term dirty solution : if it would be possible to have a "batch launch" for the problematic program(s), you could defy this issue.

What I mean : instead of just launching Poweramp (for example), you'd launch a batch file that FIRST kills the FMapp and immideatly launches Poweramp for you. That way, next time you exit Poweramp and select the FMapp, it would lauch from a clean state and it won't have that issue.

Has anybody issue I have? I can't save radio presets on Android 2.3 v4.04.09 FW

Actualy I can save peresets, but after the HU reboot the radiostation list is default, and I need to search the station everytime I turn on HU
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
very good explanation of the new Radio.Apk for 2. 3. 4 problem. The idea is to find the way to close radio app when it loses audio focus, because for example poweramp it's Always open on my S150 so I can't create a batch that close radio when it start.... ;)

Hope to see a fix soon however....

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

Usually radio lose the settings and stored frequences when the S150 lose backup power (Yellow wire) this wire has to be connected to the continuos 12V car battery. Can be this your case?
[Android Head-Units] niton:
No, this is issue of 4.04.09 FW, another FWs don't have this problem,

and you can read about this problem on russian forum, as it's noticed by few s150 owners, I mean, it's not only my problem.

And I noticed, that I don't need to restart HU, if I just turn off the engine (don't turn off the HU) the radiostations resets
[Android Head-Units] cretu_24:
Sometimes happend to me too, but i got used to always use task manager and kill all apps before open radio. Sometimes, when radio is open and not refreshing, i just press home button (radio plays on background) then open radio again and it's working ok.

I do not know why this happend, i just modified code for design.

Maybe the problem is because now is deodexed, i dont know :(

Others with some knowledge can help us :cowboy:

Illegal Upgrade Package

Hi,

I'm trying to install the CarNaviPlayer WinCE firmware onto my C012 (Mazda 6) S100 but I'm getting the following error near the beginning of the install:

Illegal upgrade package, upgrade terminated! Please contact your local dealer!

Anyone know what i am doing wrong? I've already installed an unofficial S100 WinCE firmware (found on 4PNA) and this installed fine. Allen Wong, can you or anyone else advise on this??
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
add following line to Update.ini in image folder

oeminfo=HFZ

Then you have Updated the Bootloader and It Rejects many Firmwares
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
With llama we can try to catch when the radio app goes in background and close it automatically... or better, when goes in foregroud close it and than open it, but that can stop and start radio music
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
The oeminfo=HFZ line is already present in that file. So how do I get this boot loader to install this firmware? It's the boot loader that kotix has provided in his wince instructions.
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
no the new Bootloader is always written on Updating the system if its set

but i think thats an Firmwareproblem i had this problem with an old 1.1.8.0 Firmware from 4PNA

I could only fix it by overwriting with another Firmware
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Yes you are correct, to get this to work I had to install the android firmware then downgrade back to win ce. Thanks for the advice ;)

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Actually, I was a bit premature! The win ce installation start and completes, and then on reboot I get the same message. However I can hear the radio, but only the illegal upgrade message on the screen. Cant do anything else.

What do I do!!!!
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
btw its funny that the newest S100 Firmware from carnavi is 1.1.9.0

because the newest is 1.1.9.13 !

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

get the 1.1.9.13 FW from 4PNA set it with the SetUpdateXML_EN.exe to your device and flash it

if this doesnt Help use 1.0.9.13
[Android Head-Units] niton:
At first - Llama can't kill radio app, try to use Tasker (it works)

At second - after you'l kill the radio app it's start automaticaly....again....and again

Did u have Sound from Radio ? If not did u choose the wrong AMP Option ? AMP in must be On

Or

In Vol Settings GPSVolume is set to Low
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Yes I have sound from the radio and the DVD audio player. Just get nothing from the GPS or any other audio player. AMP option is on and all volumes are at Max!

[MENTION=4670338]hititup[/MENTION] also has the same problem. He thinks it may be a hardware issue. Maybe something to do with the audio switching??

The unit worked fine after purchase for several months then all of a sudden developed this problem.

At the moment I need to diagnose the cause of the fault. Any help to figure this out would be great ;)
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
Do you have an S100 or S150 Device ?

Since when did the Error appear

U could try an Older MCU update just flash the MCU only

u can Try this versions

1.13.7.0

1.11.7.4

1.18.7.0

All can be found at 4PNA

Boot Animation

I am trying to change my boot animation. i have KoTiX2 Official 4.03 Aroma-Root_v1.1 installed. My problem is i cant find the bootanimation folder. I look in system/media folder for it with Es File Explorer, all I find in that folder is shutdownanimation. And i cant get to change the Es File Explorer system as read-write.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I am not sure you are looking at the right place, check Post #974. Have you looked in /bootlogo/logo ?

If you were able to enable Root Explorer switch in Es File Explorer then you should be able to hold down the words "Root Explorer" and it will popup a window that has the option to "Mount R/W". If you use that then your system partition will be mounted as read-write. Also, if you are using Es File Explorer to find your files/folders maybe try enabling "show hidden" in the tools menu.

Hello, please who can help me with this problem.

My HU is a S150 (I001) Original with FW 2.3

I updated to version 4.03 as files from carnavi (Mr Allen).

HU operation is not acceptable, rather erratic.

I tried to go back to FW 2.3 and it was not possible (I did the SD-flasher), the SD slot in GPS while the upgrade process does not start.

Indeed! ... I tried to install the 4.03 FW KoTiX ... and start the HU is the installed version CARNAVI!

Nothing happens when I plug in the device. Do i require any special driver? or OTG Cable?
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
It's a s100. Can the mcu software get corrupted? I've flashed several firmware now, some winCE, the various kotix 4.0's and the carnavi 4.0. All must have different mcu's?? But none solve the problem.

How do I flash the mcu only?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
You probably have a malfunctioning USB ELM327. It happens a lot with the crappy clones from China. You probably have to exchange it.
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Don't elm327 chips need ftdi drivers?? They have windows drivers, not sure about android. Google ftdi for android.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
The ELM327 describes the interpreter for OBD to RS232 not the serial to USB module. That's a separate chip and it is not necessarily FTDI. Often if it was a cheap purchase it is probably not genuine. Besides, the drivers would be built into the app that supports it. For example, Torque Pro supports both Prolific and FTDI USB to Serial modules.

Even in the TouchScan (OBD Diagnostics) software's description, "Please note that cheap ELM clone adapters can be unreliable. TouchScan can connect to any ELM 327 compatible adapter, but the cheap clone adapters tend to have slow refresh rates and might disconnect randomly."

Overlay in reverse camera

I have a curiosity, the overlay is directly from the camera or is supraimposed from the software?

I would like to edit it, as the distances don't corespond, the 3m mark is actually 1.2 meters.

Does anyone have any idea, how is your reverse camera image, like mine, with the overlay, different or without one?

Adjusting the camera is out of the question as it's a specially made model for my car, it replaces one of the light bulbs that light the number plate.

IGo is using the Android system time. There is no override setting for this. Is your unit showing the proper time and only IGo shows it differently? S150 has a settings, I keep it on auto. I think is using GPS time as I don't connect WiFi often but is shows correct time even after changes related to day light savings on my location.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Yes my unit shows correct time but I use system time in manual instead of auto, because when the it will sync with network it will show wrong time.

Actually IGO is using GPS time and this is what is shown to me.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
OK, I never had to play with this settings for me it works without any adjustments so I don't have this section (never used it), but you can try, the settings MIGHT be valid.( or they may not do anything on Android systems, only on CE).

I've got a cheap Chinese tablet mounted in my 97 Toyota Camry, functioning as a GPS unit with copilot(offline maps), music stored on it, tether with my phone with unlimited 4glte when needed for streaming other music from Google Play music storage/Pandora. I'll also be testing out the CheapCast app at some point to stream movies to it for the kids on long rides. Will be doing a few more things with sound at some point, as of now a friend of mine has it outputting to the stock speakers & power is linked to the ignition. So to answer your question, no it was not a joke. Obviously it's much simpler to have a dedicated head unit. However it somebody wanted to put the effort in they could have alternative for cheaper if they were willing to create their own mounts. I plan to eventually try with a more powerful tablet so I can add the ability to play some games like Dead Trigger, Shadowgun and other games with my Moga controller. Point I was trying to make, there are better options depending on what your needs are and the amount of time you are able to put into the project.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Yes, as a hobby, do it yourself. Most of us would not do it. You did not mention FM integration (I don't use data so no streaming) - but if the tablet has an FM chip you will have some app for it, but most FM apps have very poor UI. And all the other stuff I mentioned...By the way for some car models there are companies providing retrofitting they keep the amps but connect to the interface bus with some kind of tablet, but they provide also the faceplate. For now they just use Windows CE. And their retrofit (not including installation is around $1000, and even more. Most installers would not touch it as is more difficult to do it so you either find one familiar with it or take your chances.The only thing they keep using this which an HU does not have is XMRadio which comes with OEM radio and is used by some in US mostly (for our European friends, it's no free you need a monthly subscription, but is digital via satellite so better quality and content than FM).As is DRM protected with a device SN you will not get any Chinese unit with integrated XM ).This is the main selling point of retrofit units in fact.

There is a thread on Nexus7 forum with photos of integrating the tablet, just reading about and seeing the steps is enough for me at least to never consider doing it myself.

PS. I also don't remodel my kitchen or my basement myself so I'm not a DIY guy. :)
[Android Head-Units] merrittj1989:
I don't bother with FM myself I find it to repetitive, so my current setup is fine for me and will be even better when I upgrade to a Nexus 7. But if FM is sobering you need then this isn't the way to go.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Not giving up yet, jut don't know what to try next.

I've tried all Android firmware's I can find for the S150. Ik know that de the settings from the config folder are aplied during the flash. When I use the config from the C074 my source and Mute button and steer remote control work. But when I flash again with a different config my source button does volume up and the band button does mute.

So flashing definatly changes something.

I tried finding a wince bootloader but could not find it. I did however fiend custom bootloader from "FriendlyArm". They make develloper boards based on de same Samsung chip.I've tried preparing a SD with their superboot but did not succeed in booting Wince. I'd also tried their tool to boot Adroid. When I try that I get a little bit further. It definately does something. The unit boots and after a few seconds black screen the screen lights up and gives garbage screen.

Please I would really appriciate it if someone can help me solve this problem.
