Hi Kotix

do you still keep saving the radio stations by name with this skin?

thanks a lot
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Yes of coarse, that doesn't depend on skinning.
[Android Head-Units] albertoo199:
Hello kotix. firstly thanks for your work.

It is possible to modify the languages from the last firm?

is there any way to increase the bright of the screen? i think when it is sunny i cant see anything

and finally, is there any possibility to use any voice control program in wince, i think it could be too useful.

thanks
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Since fw 1.1.8 the language strings are encripted and cannot be modified.

There is no way to increase contrast under daylight, just choose the skin that better suit for you for now. Maybe one day i'll decide to start a new skin with better contrast :P

Again no, no voice control on wince (a.f.a.i.k.)
[Android Head-Units] albertoo199:

i like that radio skin to, but unfortunately, te software is locked for editing by chinese developers.....
[Android Head-Units] maciej.krok@gmail.com:
Hi Kotix,

great work with your skinmanager and especially skin4! Is it possible in future to change the colour of the clock and date from yellow/green to white or red one in the fm radio? Would be much better I think during the sunny day.

Regards

Maciej
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
Is easy to change the text colour

Just edit xml files from skin directory and replace R G B values with that you like

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Sorry, i should specify "in skin4". Btw it's the num keyboard that show up if you press on the freq in the radio screen.
[Android Head-Units] tarkan.dogar:
Hi Kotix,

If I do not bother, I will have a request. Since, I agree what you wrote in your blog and since I already only interested with yandex navigation, I also have plans to revert back to win ce. But, I want to be sure before applying your skin to it, is it possible for you to add some preset channel buttons. Thanks a lot. By, the way I saw your skin in your blog, it is looking pretty good organized.
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Hey Kotix,

Just a update ... your new skinpack works great.

All the menu's are there again.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
If you mean radio station preset buttons like in the screenshots posted some posts ago, no, it's not possible.

Really nothing can be done to any of the lists in the whole software: audio playlist, bluetooth contacts and radio stations are unskinnable in any way, there is no way to increase fonts or change positions or the lenght or whatever else, just the things around it are skinnable.

[MENTION=506965]stief[/MENTION] Great!!

S-150 Problem with Google Play Services

Hallo everybody, I bought a S-150 (I157) device with Android 4.0.3 onboard.

I have problems with google applications (except Google Maps & Latitude) because it seems Google Play Services installed (vers. 4.0.4-299849) are wrong or unsupported.

When I try to install or upgrade apps from Google Market, it shows this error "Error during retrieve informations from server [DF-SA-01], if I try to install - for example - Youtube, the app says that the Google Services version is unsupported by the device and, finally, if I try to reinstall Google Applications, the app says "Google Play Services is not supported by the device in use. Contact manufacturer".

Can anyone help me ?

It is possible to have a new firmware version well running on S-150 device ?

Thank you

[EDIT] The problem with Google Play has been fixed simply deleting all Gmail accounts and creating a

new

Gmail account for the device at the Market restart. After done this, the Market is full working and I can add my personal Gmail account.

A special thanks to CarNaviPlayer for the last firmware for I157 they sent me

radio rds

Hi all

I have finally properly tested the new fw of the S100 thanks to Kotix again. however, although when you save the radio stations it says the name, in the list form. When you move to another city it sadly does not work, and when you press the radio station into position 1, it goes to the dial not the rds name.

bit sad about it :(

hopefully new fw will improve this....

cheers

Overheating problem

I made a little cooling mode for the oveheating problem

My problem in was the bad soldering of points around the CPU board that is soldered to LCD motherboard.I re-soldered every solder points around the CPU board and the problem is gone.Now, with the new cooler, the cpu is just warm not like before when with just mp3 player running the cpu it was hot as hell.
[Android Head-Units] 1mdl:
Well done. It seem to be "not easy" for the commun of people like me. Good job men.:good:
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
You need the right tools, some soldering skills and patience..........
[Android Head-Units] excitedidiot:
While everyone else is having heat problems, I have just the opposite. On cold mornings my unit sometimes acts crazy, but if I reboot it after a minute it's fine. I get missing colors in the screen, freezing, or random volume controls.
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
These simptoms is the result of CPU overheating or CPU board de-soldered.
[Android Head-Units] excitedidiot:
Can't possibly be overheating. It happens when I first start the car when it is below freezing out. I guess it could be a solder connection problem, but if it is warm out I don't have the issue.
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Maybe condensation on the board on cold morning?
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
Mine for the first time it makes problems when in the car was hot this summmer.But in time, makes problems when is cold, and finally was dead, i mean no sound from navi.audio player and dvd.First you check the soldering around the CPU board if you don t see the amount of solder compound like in my pictures, i advise you to solder the points like i do.If this is not enough you need to reflow the CPU ant this is more hard to do.Only with BGA reflow station you will have a good CPU reflowing that last.Any other methods to reflow a BGA CPU is only temporarly and in short time the problem is coming back.

Also check the flatbend that go from lcd to unit mainboard.Sometimes that socket of the LCD board makes problems.
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Having sound problem right now too.

i802 running Wince 1.6.3 (originally was running Android 2.4.3).

Wince and IGO Primo 2 (No gps signal)

Hi everyone.

I too have reverted my S100 back to Wince but i am not getting the GPS to work, in android all was well. I have applied the skin v4 and when i press gps status the screen only goes black. Have anyone had the same problems and how did you fix it?
[Android Head-Units] mam66:
Google Market problem fixed on S150 with Android 4.0.3 on board !

The solution is create a new Gmail account when configuring the S-150 device.

If you configure an existing Gmail account, it must be deleted and then must create a new account.

Existing personal Gmail accounts can be added after Google Market configuration.

Anyone knows if a good Ipod controller for Android with playlist managing is available on XDA, Market or other sites ?

Hello Kotix

Can you tell me if this is a new software version or is it still the last one you have make with the kotix 2.7

16-09-2014.
[Android Head-Units] Meega:
Still no I095 at the list :(
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
2.7 was 11-9-2014 based, this is 16-9-2014 so it should be one week newer... i wouldn't expect much differents between them.

I never see a changelog for any of this roms.

The chinese developers keep everything in secret.

But practically i don't see any major improvements.
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
I. Think they start to change more to the mcu than the software because we cannot read the mcu but we can look into the software

But I also find it wired that they don't say what they have change.

It has a newer mcu and some fixes like the playstore, but he removed some locales so check the config folder.

In the next days i'll upload mylittle mod too with an 8 icons dock, a 8x4 screen grid and the home screen centered :)

Thanks for the feedback.... I think I will try to connect Rtl2832u usb device to the usb host port.... I relly can't imagine if it can work.

In my region Dab radio are present.

The main problem for me can be the AF not working because often I make long travels with the same radio station, and usually AF make it's job with stock head unit. I don't know if with s150 AF can make its job once inserted.
[Android Head-Units] nitroalfa:
as regards the radio dab believe we need a specific antenna for receiving but should work.

Happy New Year to everybody!
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Happy new year everybody! :P

I uploaded my first S100\S150 android 4.03 custom rom here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87479392/KoTiX rom 4.03.rar

as i said it's just a little mod to the launcher to have a wider grid in the home screens (8x4), 1 more icon in the dock (8) and the home screen set as the 4th of the six screens available.

By default you'll find a Poweramp, MxPlayer and other apps preinstalled, the Poweramp widget (8x1) preset in the home screen (I suggest to set audioglow live wallpaper too).

The rest of the rom is based on the dimadina version, i've just restored all the locales.

P.S. it's made to be loaded using the SD recovery method.

Enjoy :)
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:

[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Hi,

Im right before the decision to buy a S100 with CE or a S150 with the loved green robot.

Can someone tell me whats the biggest drawbacks of S150 atm?

My major Points are Bluetooth streaming, Radio and Navigation. Are there difference in steering wheel control between the 2 platforms?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] badboy007:
Hello KoTiX2

the flash of the rom worked for me only when I have the update_S150.zip copied in the winca folder , and without my config files in the root of the SD card it has taken me no settings ...

but now everything is working fine ... what an amazing rom! thank you very much!
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Bluetooth streaming, radio and steering weel control are the same.

Navigation also works great on both platforms. However if you use Android there is more choice and the software is still updated regularly.

Also everything internet related works much better on Anroid.

What I miss on android is the multiscreen function that the S100 has. For instance, when I'm watching a movie or using my nav or whatever, receving a call will present a split screen automaticaly with the call info on the right part.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Thanks for the information.

I"ve heared that RDS is not working and there are sound (crackling) problems. Is this right?
[Android Head-Units] stief:
I don't have any radio problems. I have the s100 and flashes android. These chinese units just don't have the best radio receivers. Didn't have any problems on ce either. RDS only shows station names on the s100 and s150. The 4.03 beta doesn't show any rds info.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Ok. So it is a beta problem only. Was that beta an official one and we can espect an working rds on a final or will there no official 4 release?

How fast is the android version compared to wince?

And does the s150 have an capacitiv touch screen instead of the resistive of the s100 (sorry for that question, but I found different specs on the net).

I have now try to make a system upgrade from kotix 2.4 to the new from roadnav. and averything works fine but now system upgrade is gone.

Then i try to make the boot sd card with the sdflasher and boot from gps slot but nothing happen only black screen. is it now over with upgrade or test over gps slot ? i have try with 3 diffrent sd card and no one of them works

Hi guys,

I have a new problem with my android 4. When i play mp3 files from sd or usb there is sometimes a strange noise in the music. It sounds like a skipping cd.

It happens mostly when the cpu / ram usage is high at sample when waze runs in foreground.

I get the same when i use the stock player. Its the same like in 3rd party player.

Does someone have the same problem or a fix for this?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
In newer firmwares the system upgrade is done like in wince, just booting sd from gps slot.

SD-flasher is kind of blocked but you can have screen back holding the reset button for the entire flash operation ( i don't recommend it) or try putting on reverse shift your car enabling the reverse camera input. Best way to use sdflasher is to downgrade first to a 0606 firmware or 2.6 rom.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

That's just the beginning, it will be worst everyday.... android 4 overheat the cpu board and cause problem to hw.

I have found out that i can chose USB 1.0 or 2.0 that help to load my wlan stick.

I don't need stick mount anymore. But you still need sterms for the volume.
[Android Head-Units] 1mdl:
you still need sterms for the volume

Hello what do you mean with STERMS:D
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
You Know that program to lock the volume
[Android Head-Units] 1mdl:
?

Is it a apk from the firmware or another one coming from ??:confused:
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Stems is it called that have kotix also in his software. So you can lock the volume or else you need every time to open if applications volume to become full volume on everything else than radio
[Android Head-Units] schraub:
I dont think that this is a result of the hardware heating problems, because there are no problems with spotify or other web radio apps. Maybe it is a reading problem from the external devices like USB or sd card?

Other question --> with STERMS you mean Volume Lock Control ?
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

That is right lock control. And I have android and tested and change mcu so many times and I don't have any problem with sound or anything like that
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Stem volume is an app to set fixed volume levels for every app you run. I can't find it on playstore right now butt here are tons of these kind of apps, this one is another one suggested by some guys:

[Android Head-Units] iovaniorgovan:
Oh men, this thread moves so quickly its hard to catch up. So, nowadays, what is the firmware to have with your Witson S150?

I'm using my i019 with the original Android 2.3.4 and it worked satisfactory for the past half year, with the occasional FC forced close screens, let's say usual for a chinese product. I think I reverted to factory settings at least 3 times and it mostly happened with FC screens after installing almost any 3rd party app.

In the last iteration, I stopped installing or using any 3rd party app and it worked without FCs until I started importing the contacts from my smartphone and then the S150 builtin Phone app started FCíng. I'm still able to place Bluetooth calls if I initiate them from my smartphone., but it's kind of annoying and I plan to factory reset again an not think at importing contacts anymore.

Not to mention is the fact that I'm the only one (I think) who gets his touchscreen decalibrated after each restart - it has been discusses on this thread earlier this summer. But I got used to this issue too.

Hi Kotix,

Last week, I installed the official Android ROM for Seat Ibiza on my S100/C246 (with canbus).

I have some questions:

- I would like to root my device without reflash it, what's the procedure ? My goal is to install SetCPU to downclock my CPU and limit overheating if possible.

- I have an issue with my steering control: buttons next and previous skip 2 tracks, same thing with the volume (0->2->4...) How I can reconfigure it ? (the dedicated menu does not work at all)

Thanks in advance for your help :)

[Android Head-Units] wraenking:
Guys. I am still running kotix android on my s100. No real problems except the the igo not starting sometimes. Other issue u have is within Winamp. If I am listening to Winamp and stop somewhere and put it in park without turning car off, once I put it in reverse it changes the internal Winamp volume. Can't figure out why. Maybe someone can try to replicate it. Under the sound settings in Winamp it's the volume control on the right side. I always keep it at 3/4 but once truck goes into reverse after in park it goes back to the 1/4 setting

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] schraub:
Hi,

i have the same car and the same device. It was not possible for me to change the swc-button configuration. Furthermore you can not use it in 3rd party apps. the are only working on stock apps like radio or music player.

Downclocking the CPU is a good idea. @ Do you know for sure that the hardware problems are because of the overheating CPU or can it be another chip on the display board?
