Not that i know of, ive done it using the information from wiki and kotix blog. It isnt that hard, but be warned, android does not run that good on the device because of some more or less big bugs. Try to create the sdcard. If you have questions try to search that thread and kotix blog and if you didnt find an answer ask here :)
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
Thank you for your help. Ill give it a go. Do you know what doesn't work well or is buggy before I try it?

Once I update to S150 will I be able to tether my phones internet? I can at least run TUNEIN and Pandora from their websites if that is the case if the apps cannot be downloaded from the store.

Also TV reverse camera etc all still work?

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Be sure you have a model that can run android 4.03 before trying to update or at least check if exist the corresponding android version of your model.

Also get the original wince fw your unit to go back in case something goes wrong and also get the android fw for your unit or the corresponding one.

Thetering wifi and reverse camera works.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
Is that in the SYSinfo in the settings.. MCU is C802 or is it the I001 number or whatever it is on the actual head unit?

How do I get the original WINCE fw ? The android FW for my unit.. isn't there only a few? I downloaded the one from your website ? S150 4.03 KoTiX_v2.3?

Sorry for all the questions.. I just want to do it right and not ask these questions after! Thanks for being patient with me.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Write here all the data from your sysinfo screen.

It's better to have the original android fw so you can have the correct mcu and config folder
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
Ive attached a photo of my system screen. How do I know my model no. and if its compatible?

How do I put these back if it doesn't work out? Do I copy paste files from the unit or will it just roll back?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Ok your model is c802, the android version of your model is i802 so it is compatible with 4.03 fw (there is a "safe" list on my blog)

You can flash the original i802 4.03 fw or my rom with mcu and config folder replaced with the ones from the i802 fw.

Follow instuctions for sd-flasher upgrade method and you are done.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
The Problems I found so far: radio station list sometimes selects the wrong frequency but steering wheel control works, WiFi sometimes does fail to activate, I can't install payd app. Maybe there are more, but give it a go and try with your model.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
excellent. I will try it tomorrow and report back. Thank you all.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
Just trying it now.. I put an sdcard into my pc and the sd flasher when I hit scan says found 0 disks. Why won't it read my sd card. Going directly into the sd card slot. Tried two micro sd cards
[Android Head-Units] mtresk:
Just try with external card reader.
[Android Head-Units] Cruze2012:
Try rightclicking the sd flasher exe file and selecting "run as administrator". I had the same issue and worked perfectly after running it this way.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
Yep that seemed to have done it. I got it all up and running. Thank you everyone for the assistance.

Just a quick question.. I quick to turn wifi on and it doesn't do anything.. it just freezes.. what do we do there?
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
What WiFi stick do you use? Do you put the stick in the usb media or usb internet port. As I said before, I had to try multiple times with WiFi, now it works good after first setup.
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

I have the same problem, when you have installed all, you need to activate the Wi-Fi and then wait little and the turn of the unit and then start it in to Wi-Fi settings and now it should be working, I don't know why you need to reboot to get it to activate
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261495215050?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

that's the one exact one I have. I use the USB 'wifi' cable that is connected at the back of the unit and it has a usb output. So I plug in the Comfast.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
What does everyone use for GPS now once upgrading to S150?

On the S100 it was really good.. I think it was the IGO8

How do we install the same maps.. ie I have the Australian maps from the s100.

What do I need to install to get the same program? if IGO8 doesn't work on android.. what do we use? I installed a different IGO and couldn't find my GPS Signal.
[Android Head-Units] fromaron:
I didn't get much luck with a "different version of iGo". I assume you tried iGo Primo as I did. I posted about the experience few pages back. Can't lock to the satellite signals even though plenty of the satellites are found by iGo with a good signal level.

I suggest you to go with Sygic. You can download a trial version from the Google play which fully works for 7 days.

I liked it a lot and bought the license, also they have 40% off at the moment. TTS voices work as well.

Hi Allen,

I discovered something else which might help your engineer to locate the problem.

Yes, NAVI program starts when you start the car. I was trying to understand why is it from time to time the navigation program doesn't start for few days until one day I start it by pressing the NAVI button. After that navigation autostart is back.

I don't know how other users use their head units, I usually run my car with Radio On and for convenience the radio screen is on as well (Radio can run on background while you are in Home screen for example).

So whenever navigation autostarts I close the app and switch on the Radio screen.

Today I did something different. After closing the navigation program I turned On Phone dialer screen to dial a number. Finishing the phone conversation I went back to the Home screen I activated the Radio screen. And guess what? - the navigation doesn't start but the dialer starts instead on the head unit start up.

That tells me Android remembers the second last program you ran before powering down, not the last one.

I hope what I am trying to explain makes sense.
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

I have buy S100 and update it with the Android 4.03 and there i have always use the Igo primo and it works fine. now i have also bought the display board so i now have the s150 version of the unit and i have try Android 2.3.4 and Android 4.03 and Igo version i have found works perfect for both version no lack or anything.

These people that have the problem with igo primo , can you please try this version. you need to put the map and building and dem inside the content folder all other is there.

Link : the link will come back later

The only bug i know of is : Igo forget the settings sometimes because the sdcard dont get mount fast enough. but the solution for this is take a backup of the save folder and everytime just copy the save folder back to the sdcard and then have you all settings back.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
What display board do you mean?
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
I have buy S100 with wince for my car but i have talk with KoTix and he told me that i could buy the display board for the s150 and change it,

so i also could use Android 2.3.4 and that i have done but was a little expensive to German.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Are there other improvements with that board than 2.3? And "Grüße".
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
I dont really know. you can look what diffrent from model s100 to s150 is then i think you can find the answere or ask allen wong
[Android Head-Units] hititup:
I had this problem over 1 year now. It is coming from the MCU i am planning to change my MCU but i am hoping the maker of my HU release a newer upgrade MCU for my unit.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
That worked for me too. Thanks for that. Its a bit different but it will do. Was in german though but just moved the voice from the original across and it worked.
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

I have complete forget to set it to english but, you can chose another language and also put you english voice in there as you have found out.

because it is diffrent, i have chose another skin that fit many things with turn direction and so on. and little more nice for my taste, you can ofcourse change to default if you would like to
[Android Head-Units] NFHimself:
Hi,

If anyone is using the back up wire on the unit with a KIA soul 2010 and the power and video connector with a backup camera, the wire is available under the driver kick panel / driver step trim and it's grey. I had to test around 20 wires to find one turned off when I went from reverse to park, lol, if you limit your tests to grey you should find it a lot faster. (I could have run the wire all the way back to the reverse lamp, along with the power and video, but that was too annoying to pull up the trim again, I thought I could use the fuse location but that is before the switch, I was replacing a wireless backup camera that was mirror based using the same and I didn't want to redo another vamp, better to solder something closer.)

Backup camera turns on faster than android boot and it's full screen, awesome, reminds me of the Ford Flex's dash backup camera, $20 on aliexpress.

Cheers!

Tip:

##0323 have Value1 and Value2 at the bottom, press buttons and the values change, write them down and compare with the values in ADSet.xml

For C076:

Band: 180

SRC: 3

NAVI 113

Mute 215

DVD 146

EJ 54

right knob button press 232

left knob button press 180 (but on Value 2, not same as Band 180)

right knob turn left 95

right knob turn right 130

In ADSet.xml

ADValue1 v0="3"

ADFunc1 v0="Rem_android_home"

If you press the SRC button for example, an ADC converts the resistance to a digital value of 3, that corresponds to the definition for V0, v0 is defined with the android home function and so on.
[Android Head-Units] fromaron:
There is even easier way to stop navigation program auto starting every time you start the car:

1. Close the navigation program

2. Run your favorite screen or app you usually have while driving.

3. Go back to Home screen.

4. Run the same program from step 2.

That's it.

It's like with some people things need to be told twice so they are remembered. LOL

[MENTION=2236362]mitsucats[/MENTION]

1st - if u dont want that "someone" stands at your door you should delete home and work favorites + last waypoints

2nd - for the settings just put Igo onto the internal SDCard so you have no damaged files and settings loss
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
1 ) I thought i have delete few of the settings but it is not my adress hehe. but i will delete it.

2 )the whole maps and dem and buildings dont fint into the intern. over 2 gb data.
[Android Head-Units] Kaza84:
yeah I managed to change all that but after a few days of it working fine.. I have this problem now and it wont let me in.

Do you get this problem ?

Error loading file: i18n/800_480/log_collection.xhtml

It has Yes or no as an option. Either one you click on just crashes the program.
[Android Head-Units] TheLexus:
Hi Guys,

im trying different navigation apps atm. What im facing of is an dpi issue or something similar. Both apps i tried so far having issues with button sizes. I mean, some icons inside a button are to big or streets of copilot are much to thick. Because this happens on both apps i think is something like a dpi issue. Does someone else have this kind of problem?

Another thing: If i use google maps the maps are blurry, streets are not as sharp as on my android phone.

Im using Kotix 2.5 with DPI Patch. I tried to change dpi settings for the apps, but none of 160/200/240 have an impact. Do i need a restart between changes?

Bye

TL

PS: I will post back the results with different navigation apps later, but first i want to verify if the the problems are solveable.
[Android Head-Units] fromaron:
I have no such problem running factory firmware. It must be something to do with DPI patch.

Did you try to uninstall the patch and see if that solves the problem?
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
Hi Allen!

Thanks for your support to this community.

As you were saying i provided the photo of the unit installed in my car (Toyota RAV4 (I018)) and i have been provided with the official S150 Android 4.0 version.

Thanks a lot.

I have a question... As this is the official 4.0 version for my unit, are the steering wheel control buttons working with the NON-stock players?
[Android Head-Units] Allen Wong:
I018 does not have CANBUS decoder.

So you need to setup the steering wheel control in settings.
[Android Head-Units] mtresk:
He is asking you about working sw buttons in third-party player and not about can bus. Can you answer this question?
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Sorry to say no difference noticed.

I hoped GPS fixed. Radio is also the same.

I flashed changing the scripts. But I think you can also use the software update function from the menu but don't now what folder structure to use for just flashing ecu.

I saw on the new firmware I received from Witson, that the MCU.bin, Flash.bin were also in the root of the SD.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I modified the Edify script too, as i understand just the "updater-script" is the one that do the job, the others are there so you can rename them for your need but i've seen some parts not right in them.

In 4.03 fw there is no mcu and flash and in its updater-script is specified that mcu and flash are readed from the "raw" folder inside the update.zip so i guess the ones in the root of SD aren't really needed.

I did try to flash with the update function but i signed wrong the update.zip and the radio went in the recovery screen, but ones there i cannot select any of the options, there are no touch buttons and the hw buttons don't work. I'll retry later btw.

Can you tell me what kind of wifi dongle are you using? What chipset? I have a ralink3070 but wasn't recognized...

I've downloaded and unpacked the ouku firmware and I want to test the radio, music, video and launcher apks to see how they work :P

--------------- [MENTION=320897]People[/MENTION] with the S150 Original unit and 2.3.4 fw

Many of the requests that has been made in the previous posts about the custom rom are already included in the roms developed by dimadina and nikitoz from the russian forum, just check them out:

I use a Comfast CF-WU720N.

I ordered it with the unit from Wtson. But you can find them online for a few bucks.

It has a ralink 5370 chipset.

Hope our russian friend is making progress. I really miss the video player and dual screen function.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
For what I have understud from the Ouku forum, the hardware of the Ouku and the S150 are different. If you flash the Ouku FW on the S150, you could brick your unit.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I know i can't flash ouku fw (i'm not so crazy ;) )From ouku i just extracted some of the apk to see if they work. I was able to install them but they wont run :(
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Too bad!
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
If you're going to be adventurous maybe try the apks from the Kenwood DNN990HD's firmware.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Some good news today!:p

I've found another way to prepare the U-boot SD without using linux :D

The program is SD-flasher from friendlyarm:

SD-flasher

- Insert SD in your PC

- Run SD-Flasher

- select "mini210/tiny210"

- in the first row browse for the "u-boot_udsd.bin" from 4.03 package

- click "Scan" and select your sd card

- hit "ReLayout" (will format your SD)

- hit Fuse!

The program will create 2 partition, an empty partition of 130MB (that contain u-boot) and a fat32 with the rest of the space available.

Copy the firmwares file in the fat32 partition as written in the winca instruction:

- Create a "winca" folder

- copy zImage, URecovery, update_S150A.zip in the winca folder and in the root of SD ( i still have to understand where exactly i have to put them)

- copy "app" and "config" folder in the winca folder

- adjust the config files for your model

Insert the SD in the GPS slot and let it do the job.

(Let me know if somebody found anything wrong in the things i wrote so i can correct them)

This tool is made to be used with superboot.bin from friendlyarm, it can run android, linux, wince etc..

I guess could be the right direction to go back to wince.

--------------------------------------------

Some other news:

I was able to create my own update.zip and i flashed it using the "SystemUpgrade" option from the setting menu, so in the 4.03 fw the function work.

I have added some apps in the app folder of 4.03 fw and they were installed fine but they wont run.

I tryed Nova launcher and poweramp gain full priority to the sound device, but there is some other problem with Radio and other default apps, we need to import default launcher settings to let the default apps work right.

... what else.... uhm... oh... yes, in case you ask: YES I'M HAVING FUN!!! :)))
[Android Head-Units] stief:
Saves us a lot of time :)

I downloaded this tool a few weeks ago because I wanted to fix my bootloader. But completely forgot about it. Will try it later today (still experimenting).

BTW: the config and app folders are read from the \winca folder. So they don't have to be in the root of the SD when using 4.0.3
[Android Head-Units] costinradu:
Amazing news! I'm looking forward to see a full functional Android 4.03. ROM on S100.I have an S100 on Audi A4 with OS edition S100-UNI.A20131106-V2.0 and APP edition S100-V1.2.8.13 with DSP
[Android Head-Units] rahulmohandas:
Folks, Had tried to install wince back on my S100 by creating a bootable sd card using sd-flasher last week. Didnt work though. I used boot.nb0 in the first row

Let me know if anyone had success reflashing wince back :)
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Uhm i wouldn't use that nb0 file for the sd because that one is the bootloader to boot from band. You need one that let you boot from sd, i'd try superboot or other specific for sd like irom sdboot... can't remember now. Then after you prepare the sd you'll have to copy eboot.nb0 and other standard fw files in the fat 32 partition.

You know btw that all this is risky and it's like a blind walk. Good luck. :rolleyes:

[Android Head-Units] blue swede:
Seems like this S150 thread is more about the S100 unit at the moment. That is ok for me as long as the information is suitable for the S150 unit to. Otherwise I would reccomend someone to start a separate thread for the S100.

Just a thought... :)
[Android Head-Units] tcfuk1962:
Totally agree its getting very confusing with the S150 & S100 posts
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:

Does any S150 owner have tryed the 4.03 firmware posted in 1st post??

Did anybody were able to go back to 2.3.4 fw??

What problems did you find??

Hey guys,

We don't want to hyjack this topic.

I know that I started about the s100 but the things were talking about now are also relevant for the s150. Actually all were talking about these last days is the 4.0.3 firmware for the s150.

But to repaet Kotix's question....

Has anyone succeeded in flashing back to a 2.3 based firware from 4.0.3?
[Android Head-Units] hititup:
I ask this question already but I did not get a answer.. I am trying to change the LOGO pic to my own pic on my s100 running v1.29.6.0 firmware " Kotix can it be don ? and How to do it? I seen a s100 platform unit on YouTube running V2.0.4.0 firmware. the UI look nice I cant post link yet. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUaGkZrWJcI ) < try that.

Has anyone try a GIF file or animations file as the start up logo on the s100/s150 ?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Why didn't you send me a PM, instead of talinking about S100 stuff here?

If i knew the answer I'd already write to you, but I've never tryed to replace the BMP logo and for sure you cannot use a gif animation in wince.

The video is showing the zc004 model and the fw came out almost 6 month ago. If you like you can copy the S100UI folder and platform.exe from that fw and paste it in yours.

This will be the last time i answer here a question about S100 unit, if anybody need me for S100 stuff just send me a PM or write to me in the other forums were i posted my S100 skinpack.
[Android Head-Units] Allen Wong:
We recently got the same questions from many friends, why the firmwares do not support some languages, like Arabic, Romanian or other languages?

This is due to the Roadnav's market protection policy, they have some big import dealers in middle east, Romania or other countries. But our market is for all over the world.

So the import dealer in some countries signed an agreement with Roadnav and prohibit Roadnav to release the firmware with some languages to protect their market.

Answering my own question: it is possible, however you can only do one move each time.

So go to Car settings and click SET, go back and click Car settings, you can go down one setting now, go back and to car settings again and do the next move etc etc....takes a long time and patience, but it works
[Android Head-Units] mitsucats:
Hello

I have now made the version for all of you now and i hope it will work.

Link : Igo Primo

1 install the APK and say yes to go to settings and allows apks to be install, then install it but dont open it.

2 be sure you take the folder igo and put it on the sd card and put into the gps slot (put you own maps and buildings and dem ans so on into the content folder that is missing.)

3 start the igo from the menu not from the navi buttom. and then close it as soon it startet'

4 start the igo one more time and now you should see it start in full screen if not close it and start it agian.

Have fun :)
