The one I have already changed is the first one (in the picture) adding the jeep.rle to the /bootlogo/logo directory.

I would like to change the animated "Android" ....
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
That is usually found in /system/media/bootanimation.zip file; however, looking at the system image that KID52 uploaded a while back there are no files there, only the audio directory. So, it could be embedded in another place like the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file. Before you go manually decompiling and modifying it; maybe try using Boot Animations ★ root app to change it.

I flashed the 4.03 android rom on my device. It's the S100 for Kia model 2013 (C216) , everything works fine except the hard buttons. :crying:

Can someone explain me how i can solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Thank you... first I will create my boot animation starting from the posted video and to do this, I think it could be useful this:

Ok, first step, converting video .mp4 to gif, achieved with "Free Video to GIF Converter"

The GIF is very big (24 Mb - 800x480 HD)...and can be downloaded here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8-eoSCPIpn3aFZmUGxyX01mb00/edit?usp=sharing

Second step, converting GIF to android boot animation zip, achieved using "Boot Animation Factory" and the resulting file can be downloaded here:

Tomorrow, using "Boot Animation * Root" I will try to upload to the HU.

I have the S150 (I209) with the original 2.3.4 firmware). CAN bus for steering wheel works, after going in the engineering menu and changing the CAN BUS type from 0 to 1. I think the setting is wrong in the default configuration file, but I had luck to find how you can go in engineering menu, and changed the type, and it start working. I suppose newer firmware will have this fixed.

Other complains regarding this version of firmware:

-there is a bug, if you stop a complete boot sequence (stop the car before Android fully booted) which creates some service corruption, which can be fixed only by reset to factory defaults.

-the build.prop used (which gives you access to Play Store) is not very good, there are many applications which will not show ( "incompatible with the device") when in fact they are compatible. This creates problems with paid applications which have protection for side loading.

-there are tabs missing in settings (most important TTS settings) but I found work arounds to access those (of course hope to get normal access in the future).

As a note IGO Primo ( Android version) works well with this version (the original 2.3.4 ...), and from what I read does not work with "Beta" 4.0.3 which is something to be careful. Be sure that you can go back to your existing version if you get a new one in case there are problems. The Navigation is THE MAIN application for such a head unit. On my unit no Navigation program (except Google one of no use without data) was installed, so keep this in mind you will need to provide your Navi application on Android.There are a few, not all work properly and some require you to do some manual settings, so you need to be familiar with the app or hit the forums).

All the rest is OK, the firmware is stabile, but of course hope for a newer version with this glitches fixed.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Just remember the bigger the file, the longer it takes to boot. That's why most boot animations are relatively small and simple.

Technically, this is actually not the fault of the build.prop file. It is because the ro.build.fingerprint hasn't been blessed by Google. Because of that, you'll often see APKs that the developer marked as "copy protected" missing from Google Play searches or suggests an incompatibility with the device. The best work around if you don't have another Android device to sideload from it, is to use Market Helper (not from the playstore) to spoof itself as a different device. Also, Google Play doesn't just filter out the apps compatibility from the build,prop file but also the files in the /etc/permissions and /system/framework directory.

Yes, you should be able to.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Bootanimation is located in Framework-res.apk, you can unzip it and you'll find two files android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png in the folder \framework-res\assets\images

So it's not a standard animation made of consecutive png files but it's builted differently, probably to keep it smallest as possible (6Kb)

This is a bad news! :crying: In any case tomorrow I will try with "Boot Animation Root" App.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I should point out to [MENTION=1227970]royalhawk2002[/MENTION] or anyone else modifying that the framework-res.apk is a core Android file which can cause bootloops if modified incorrectly. So, prepared to have an system image ready to replace it if it does not boot appropriately after modification.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Do you think that a "Recovery SD" is sufficient ?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Yep. That should be fine. It is not like you are trying to make changes to the MCU, recovery bootloader or bootloader.

[Android Head-Units] sammybarlow:
Updated to latest aroma 4.03 last night. Great installer and works like a charm.

My screen also fades to white after 5 minutes. Music keeps playing and pressing back button returns everything to normal.

Don't know if this makes a difference but I'm running a non default launcher. [MENTION=1224676]royalhawk[/MENTION] are you running custom launcher too? I'm gonna try turning that off in case,will probably give it a factory reset too.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Of course, the more resources that Android has to parse through during boot, the longer the boot complete process requires. Android has to parse through every application in /system/app and /data/app to load all the required listeners and to trigger all the boot complete activity.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I'm running the default launcher. The only cutomize I did is about the home page clock. I removed the stock one and substituted with the clock/meteo widget....

I made some tests:

- Disabled (remove from internal menu) the exposed Framework: Same problem

- Disabled the Google Play service: same problem

I will install later the Kotix ROM and see what happen.

Hi all, thanks for all work, I've been following this thread since few months and I'm now running android 4 on my s150 i802, everything is ok but...

1) I've got the same problem, I'll try this week-end another version of waze.

2) I also have to plug my steering wheel control on my Honda Civic FK, I hope it will work (it didn't work when I instaled the HU with the fisrt 2.3.4 firmware.

3) And finally I hope it'll be possible to sync my ELM327 BT with torque pro, not with the integrated BT (I read that the hardware isn't capable) but maybe with a USB BT dongle and the script I saw in this thread ?

4.03 fw manage the proprietary/winca apps differently respect 2.34.

Everything is controlled by the winca.service.apk and we cannot do anything about it, you should kill winca.service.apk before killing other apps but then you'll not be able to use the radio or bluetooth or any of the winca apps.

Ok, i understand.

For music i like to use Poweramp. Strange is, if i run Poweramp it close Radio or Media Player, and remain closed.

Sometimes when the apps don't show up, you can use AppBrain in tandem with Market Helper to install files from Google Play using direct links. The problem is that Google Play has many different methods and filters to prevent apps from being installed due to certain conditions.

I am not able to get this to work, and manually entering APN wont save, and yes I have pressed the save button and not used the back button.

I would really like to use 3G directly on this unit and not hotspot from my phone. Is there any root tools I could use to manually edit some files to enter the APN settings?

Any news about SWC fix with PowerAMP ? There is main problem in Android 4.0 at the moment.:(
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
Dear [MENTION=5699280]Allen Wong[/MENTION], are some observations to version 4.0.3 FW I001 Official Web Site of Carnaviplayer:

Turning off the HU unit , in whatever form (ie the SCR button, with the remote or off the car engine ) usually black screen comes on and off , always on , very rarely a circle stripes turning left FW 2.3 message appeared .

Not the "File Manager" application (as was the FW 2.3) so I find it very cumbersome handling Hard Disk or SD or USB , the new app is not very intuitive .

If I want to burn a DVD to the memory of the first HU and the "Record " app turns the screen goes black .

The Radio now has only 6 stations to be stored in memory, FW version 2.3 I think there were 15!

As I expressed in an e- mail Camera DVR works very bad! , Please await solution .

When I found other things to discuss .

Hint , they should realize is that when you want to display the audio DVR camera application that is already operating is not turned off (Radio , DVD , etc.).

Another suggestion , bring the FW so you can use the ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth module as it is impossible pairing .

Greetings .

[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
As far as troubleshooting this with [MENTION=1915855]KID52[/MENTION], there seems to be be an OnKey listener that is actively trapping both scancodes and keycodes for the Android Multimedia buttons for the stock media players which are overriding their interactivity for 3rd Party media player. This appear to be intended by design. I was working with KID52 to find a work around but it seems that he had either lost interest or has higher priorities to get this working.

It is very possible that this cannot be addressed with a software update. To understand, you have to understand that there are Bluetooth modules that act like hosts (tablets, phones, laptops, etc) and others that act like clients (headset, speakerphones, keyboards, mice, ODB2 adapters, TPMS monitors, etc). You cannot pair clients together, like a speakerphone and an ODB2 adapter. The Bluetooth module in your S150 is most likely a client module which allows you to use it as a BT Speakerphone that is connected through the MCU. That is why you cannot pair it with an ODB2 adapter.

You can use a USB ODB2 cable with your S150 which will give you better throughput than a Bluetooth adapter. A good USB ODB2 cable can process about 160 ODB PIDs per second where as a good BT ODB2 adapter can only process about 80 ODB PIDs per second. The USB ODB cables are also powered by the host's USB bus whereas BT ODB2 adapters are powered by the car's ODB2 bus. Meaning you can turn off your car and with a BT ODB2 adapter and it can consume just as much power as if it was on.

Though, it would be nice if they embedded drivers for USB to Bluetooth adapters, so that you can attach a US BT dongle and connect various BT devices through Android.

He's asking if your unit was originally 2.3 and you use the files from his site to update to 4.0.3 or the most recent version of 2.3 posted.

Hi, I have this camera :crying: and thousands of problems :silly: , bad records, files get corrupted, and indications of the date, time, coordinates and velocity are any!, It seems that I was in the fifth dimension! and in the year 3500 AD.

I am waiting for the solutions, I see. :confused:
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
If you guys think it is a screen off issue then you can disable it altogether. A similar thing happened with the Asteroid Smart anytime anyone installes PerApp. This application changes the default value from "-1" to the equivalent of 5 minutes.

Here is a repost my post explaining how to disable it.

The "screen_off_timeout" is a database constant in the system table of com.android.providers.settings and is referenced in the Android API documentation. Since the Settings UI is the front end software that allows the user to manage these settings, its value can be changed manually by using sqlite3 (provided that you have root access and the sqlite3 command).

Installing Framaroot and setting up SuperSU for root access is pretty trivial. However, the sqlite3 command does not come default with the Asteroid Smart. I could give you instructions on how to create an emulator with the Android SDK and pull a copy of the command from it but then you'd have to remount the system partition as read-write, push the file over into /system/xbin, and then chmod it appropriately in order to be able to execute it. Then I'd have to give you a couple SQLite commands to check and edit it then hope that you don't mistype them and cause the box to get into a bootloop on the next reboot / startup.

There are safer alternatives since there are a number of SQLite apps on the Google's Play Store. One in particular that I found promising is SQLite Debugger besides being free it seems pretty user friendly. You can use it to select the app's db, table, and even execute assisted sqlite constructs.

With whichever you decide to use, you'll be basically checking the value and updating it

SELECT value FROM system WHERE name = 'screen_off_timeout'

UPDATE system SET value= '-1' WHERE name = 'screen_off_timeout'

BTW, if any of you are going to use PerApp, I recommend that you go into its overflow menu and disable "Screen Timeout" otherwise you'll have to change the database again every time it launches.

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Is there a way to include this in a custom rom?

I decompiled the SettingsProvider.apk and I found the value:

<integer name="def_screen_off_timeout">-1</integer>

in the SettingsProvider.apk\res\values\integers.xml

Now i f I remember well the apk cannot be changed because of the

manifest android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"

correct?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
That is correct. This is usually the default value for a head unit or television because the power is not limited like a on cell phone or tablet. However, if you install apps that try to "optimize" the system settings without taking this to account then you end up with a different value. Believe me, it took me a while to figure out that PerApp was the culprit of this change it could be a different app or condition for you.

Did you check if this is actually the case with your unit? You should actually check if that setting is changed and is something other than "-1" because I'm only recalling a solution based on the a commonality of the symptom. You should actually go into it to diagnose that the symptoms are equivalent on the issue that your are experiencing. Otherwise, this would be analogous to treating a person with a flu with allergy medication.
