Is this the 09/11 firmware for which I gave you my link?

I finally managed to install it and I think, everything seems fine. Apparently there is a DVR app, I just have to find it. The only other downside is the audio player no longer displays album art. The screen resolution with IGO is also not too bad.
[Android Head-Units] dav1129:
I upgraded S150 model I016 from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3 and found the same.

Not a big deal, I suppose but it was a nice feature which worked in 2.3.4.

I also found the audio player UI in 4.0.3 is not as good - no scroll slider and does not always remember drive or last album played.

So I also would like to know if there is a solution for this before I maybe go back to 2.3.4.
[Android Head-Units] dav1129:
Try Poweramp.

Like I replied earlier I upgraded my S150 from 2.3.4 FW to 4.0.3 FW and the same thing.

That was already a big accomplishment for me and because I don't own or want to own a smart phone or tablet I know nothing about 'apps'

But obviously if I only just realize this now the reason advantage or reason for having a car audio with an OS and Android OS is that you can install 'apps', and as it became clear to me that just as the manufacturer's rush their hardware to market with less than perfect software, the Chinese native 'apps' included with the FW are probably also rushed and less than ideal.

So as I was able to connect my S150 to my home network for the first time, I took my first giant leap into the world of 'apps', paid for and then installed Poweramp, which seems to have a great reputation. What a difference! It works perfectly. Unlike the audio player included with the firmware, it organizes the files properly, displays the album art and so forth with all the bells and whistles. Couldn't ask for more.

So there you ditch the built in audio player, spend some coin and get Poweramp.

I'd like to do the same now and replace the video player but am first seeking suggestions or recommendations as to which I should try first. Something that organizes video files really well and doesn't screw up file names like the built in one does.

Headrest issue

Good evening everybody,

Firstly, sorry for my bad english, i'm from France. I'm the happy owner of a S100 modified in S150 with Kotix's ROM (v2.4). Secondly, thank you very much Kotix for your work, you changed my life !

Everything works for me, except the "Back zone" for the headrests:

- DVD is OK

- TV is OK

- AUX is OK

- Sync is not working !

I made a little search in the 343 pages but i didn't find any solution. Do you have the same problem ?

Thank you again !
[Android Head-Units] bories81:
Hi KoTiX,

First of all, a big thank for the hard work you made on S100 and S150 series caraudio, it's amazing.

I have a little question for you :

I own a Winca S100 C083 for my Peugeot 308, and I would like to try the skins you made for these units. I saw that your skins were only compatibles with firmware version V.1.xx.7.0.

But when I checked my version on my device (all original, no modifications), it shows :

OS: S100-UNI.A20130828-A2.1

APP: S100-V1.7.9.0

A newer firmware is available for my device, but it is version :

OS: S100-UNI.A20140106-A2.1

APP: S100-V1.3.9.0

Will your skins be compatible with any of these firmware ?

Is there a way to go back to stock if anything goes wrong ?

Again, thank for your work (and sorry for my bad english, as I'm French too)

EDIT: I tried a modified version of your skinpack compatible with v1.0.9.0 and higher, it works fine but there is no text over the icons. Should I edit some file to make text reappear ? Is it because I was in French language before applying the skin ?

Hope you can help me, because your skins (especially the red one) are so beautiful compared to stock.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
APP: S100-V1.7.9.0 is newer than APP: S100-V1.3.9.0, so you already have the newer version.

The modified skin pack is for your fw version but I didn't do that mod and i don't know exactly how it's made. Anyway I have never made a french version of the skinpack.

I'm not developing the skinpack anymore, so i'm sorry but you are alone with it.
[Android Head-Units] bories81:
Thanks for the fast reply KoTiX, I just made a small donation to you for your amazing work on this device.

I will try to find some file for editing french language, do you have any idea were I can find some kind of file ?

Is there a way to go back to original without flashing a new firmware ?

other question:

OS: S100-UNI.A20130828-A2.1 Isn't this the release date of the firmware ? v1.3.9.0 looks newer...

Thanks

google maps

Hello i have 2.7 rom from kotix and i have a problem with navigation of goolge maps. when i open google maps and zoom my position the streets looks clear but when i go to navigation, the same maps looks blurred. anybody has the same problem?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Tnx for your tribute, i appreciate. :)

Language string.xml files are encripted on your and all new Fw and you cannot modify them.

1.7.9 is newer than 1.3.9. The date refer to the wince OS build and i don't know why it's showing those dates.

You can switch back to original skin at anytime using skinmanager, there should not be any missing string, otherwise you have to copy the original s100ui folder to the unit using the file manager cecmd.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Yes, a well known problem. Unfortunately without a fix.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

If I remember it works. Only thing was that I had to enable WiFi and do a restart. Try attaching it to the other usb port. The usb WiFi connection is not always fail proof, but if it works once it seems to work from that time on... Sounds crazy but that's my experience.
[Android Head-Units] Candanga:
Hello,

Just as feedback. I have an unmodiffied S150, running stock 4.0.3, and the album art has never shown. It always shows a guittar icon or something (:

I wonder if I switch to another app like Poweramp or similar, if I'll be able to select it via the SOURCE button on my CWS. It usually takes some time to read all the songs after the ubit boots:eek:

[Android Head-Units] bories81:
Hi KoTiX,

I found a v1.10.7.0 firmware for my S100 device, and I reinstalled your skins (Halloween skin) and it works fine, the strings finally reappeared !!

I have just a little problem. When I choose mp3, the player shows for 3 seconds and the screen goes back to multimedia screen. The songs are playing good therefore.

Why is the mp3 player just poping up and not staying opened ? Can I fix it ? I would really appreciate to be able to use it, because it's really beautiful...

Thanks so much for your support !!
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Uhm, no idea man. It shouldn't do it. How did you install this firmware? Did you use wince-sdboot?

Did you replace the default player with "nitrogen"?

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

I beleive that the album art is shown only if it's embedded in the mp3 tag (at least worked in this way on wince).
[Android Head-Units] bories81:
Yes I uses wince-sdboot to downgrade my firmware. Everything was OK before installing the skinpack. But I didn't change any other things after installing skins+extras, I will check if I can use nitrogen as a default player.

EDIT: I'm back from my car, all runs good now, the player is OK (I didn't touched anything, a reboot was the solution...). I also found how to activate Nitrogen, this player looks really good too.

Thanks

I saw that there is a trick to have the MP3 icon on the main screen by modifying id into C201 model. I did it for the file "ADSet.xml" and it works like a charm, the icon is on main screen and working good.

Thank you so much for your work, high quality !!

Is it really worked for you on Android 4.03 ?

I did that but no result !! I think maybe we can port driver for it I don't know !!! I'm not expert on this job ,
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
I've edited the wiki page. Only version 3 of that stick uses the correct chipset. The version should be written somewhere.

Anyone use Igo Primo on S150? How it work the sound? It stops radio/music sound for instructions or it just work over the sound of radio/music?
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
No, it doesn't stop the radio or music. I like it that way though, and it works quite well on 2.3, and I think that 4.03 is also acceptable provided it doesn't run out of memory and starts closing any background running aps. I use Gingerbread and I'm totally happy with it. It stopped auto restarting on boot a while ago, and I have to start it manually, but that is my only problem.
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
I'm on 4.03, Kotix 2.6 and Primo stop the background sound, i hear the indications then music start again.This is annoying.On WinCe Igo Primo sound is mixed with music player/radio..
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Yes, i dont know why winca decided it this way. I would prever an option to select the behaviour for this and maybe a mute of the "external" audio source if android sound is playing.
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
Strange is that google navigation works ok.Over the music.Only Primo have this behaviour.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Winca keep changing the audio behaviour at every fw update by modifying the wincaservice.apk.

I noticed on the last 9/11 fw that BT/radio/third party players react differently from previous fw, maybe they have changed the Navi behaviour too?

Can somebody try the 9/11 firmware and report back?
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
I never understand how the chinese developers work on updates.they don't have a bug list?

Every update bring new problems instead to solve it.

Why is so hard for them to make a bug list and trying to solve it one by one.....?

In fact is not a complex unit and bugs are not millions......:confused::confused::confused:
[Android Head-Units] albertoo199:
has anybody keep working radardroid? usually if im listening to radio and radardroid is activate it doesnt sounds. sometimes it sounds and mute the radio.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Priority for winca has always been the develope of more models as possible to cover the worldwide request and making more profit of coarse.

What i don't understand is why they keep this old platform while other companies are already using more powerfull ones with capacitive screen.

The cross-platform wince-android could be actractive for someone but i beleive most user just want a unit that can do what is expected to do without hassles of continuous bugs and problems.

Some news about new 9/11 firmware

There are some news regarding the new 11 september firmware for S150, the most important for me is that they are "kind of" blocking the custom roms flash, powering off the screen if the rom is not original. I still need to investigate deeper how this is made but I beleive it's intentionally made to stop my aroma installer.

Anyway another important thing is that, as you know, the "System Upgrade" button in settings screen is not present anymore: we just only need to put the SD card with the firmware into the GPS slot and then start up the machine, it will update automatically, so same procedure as wince units (without the need of SDFlasher).

These are some findings from our russian friends:

So, I'll try to work a bit on this fw but probably we will have ot say goodbye to the aroma installer :(

I'll let you know my progresses.

MCU and Flash for Passat c305

Hi Guys,

I have running thanks to Kotix his 2.4 S150 4.0.3 ROM, which works fine, BUT. Somethings are still missing,

Throught Hidden Menu i have setted the Canbus to "Golf" . SWC works on Stock Apps.

My problem is:

Opened Door , as example, will be no longer showed.

On Rear camera, as I move my SW doesn´t shows the car´s predicted direction.

I think that´s because of my MCU or the flash. which it doesn´t match at all with Kotix´s I001.

Can anybody help me with I305 originals MCU and Flash programs?

Thanks

I have dismantled my unit.

You can look pictures step by step.

Now i"ll reflow.

The mother board is not the same as your??:good:
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
It looks very much like the board on my unit. The chip positions look the same.

The Samsung processor is below that silver panel that is near the middle right of the board. De solder the corners of this plate and it should lift off using a blade or screwdriver.

Then reflow these chips and the small codec chip below this silver panel. I also heated the big technique chip on the other side of the board.

Just be careful not to cook the board, I came very close! [emoji12]
[Android Head-Units] junior2001:
I think you are right. New firmware switch off screen if u try flashing custom firmwares; i tried flashing wince firmwares too and my screen stays black so i can t see anything . I ll try to downgrade to an earlier version of android original firmware then try to flash wince again.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
They are blocking the sd fused with bootloaders but you can turn the screen on holding the reset button for the entire time of the flash procedure.

Custom roms aren't blocked, just don't use a fused sdcard and they are fine.
[Android Head-Units] Psycho Dave:
Why are they doing this? I would not have bought there unit if this possibility was blocked.
[Android Head-Units] Meega:
Oke.

I've got the android version 4.03 from Kotix in my unit. (bmw 325i)

But i think i am missing some things.

On the internet you can see movies with airco control on the unit and more of that stuff.

This is something i am missing (i think)

My steerwheel buttons work because i selected the bmw 320i in the bluetooth menu.

Could it be that i flashed the wrong mcu or something else?

It's very hard to find stuff on the internet ,like adset.xml and also fw for i095,because most of it is in Russian.

Is there someone who can tell if, i should have those functions or not?

And maby where to download original fw 4 for bmw 325i?

why dose the S150 keeps reseting?!

halo, i have one simple question... i have purchased the android unit S150 for my BMW E82 and i have instaled it and the unit keeps reseting the time, and date and radio stations. i adjust the time and date and find the radio stations,memory it and i go to work and after turn on the radio the radio stations are gone, so it's time and date. everything is back to 00:00. date is 01.01.2001.

do i need to do any adjustment to car wiring and instalation? what?!?

could someone help me please??!?
[Android Head-Units] Meega:
I think you should connect the yellow cable to a continued 12+

Because MY bmw 325i shuts down the power after about 30 minutes.

So take the key from the egnition and wait one hour or so.

Then find a 12+ in the fusebox, and connect the yellow wire to it.

hope it helps

You need to prepare your board exactly like this one:

[IMG="cpu board"]http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/14/2c9165b1e08138a4d162ca8102de1b6a.jpg[/IMG]

otherwise you'll surely burn it.

Remove (desolder) the box on the right side that cover the cpu then you'll see the samsung cpu chip, the one in your picture is a memory chip.

After that you need to protect the rest of the board with the aluminum foil like in the picture.

Then go on youtube and serach for xbox360 reflowing tutorial, you'll see how to do it.

There is no 2.7 rom yet, somebody wrote the wrong number.

I've been busy and a little bored lately but i'll probably realese a 2.7 rom based on 9/11 fw during the week.

My aroma option to keep user data during flash will not work anymore on newer firmwares because winca has changed the update procedure.

The audio behaviour with third party players and radio/BT is different again on this last fw, so all my experiments with "llama" automation profile is unusefull again too.

The new MCU G005 is still buggy on my unit: sometimes no audio from android and sometimes the mcu is freezed like in a halt state.

... yes I'm bored!! :(

google maps navigation

I just tried the 'force GPU rendering' but unfortunately it did not work.

The other major problem with google navigation is that is seems to not be able to dynamically reroute if you stray off its predetermined initial route. I wonder whether it is an old version of navigation. I cannot find the version number but will do some more digging.
