Might have a fix for touch control issues.

A previous bad flash or ignorance on my part left my touch screen controls inverted. Touching the bottom registered a touch at the top.

After messing around with the different options I think I might have found a solution. It's not a 100 percent tho. But usable.

I'm running Red Mod 0.1.6 beta 3 button 800x480

[YOUTUBE]VfcqERnYvE8[/YOUTUBE]

Steps:

Go to system settings

On the left side scroll down to General and click

Then on the right side you'll see Extra settings, click on it

Scroll down until you see Touch Area Key, click on it

You'll see a bunch of boxes with labels click on the one named Position

Then change it to TOP

Side note: if you hold down START in the Position menu it will let you export the config file.

It has the same name as the ROM file used.

[IMG="config"]http://www.logicmass.com/radi0/config.png[/IMG]

The BAK is save from using the START - export

The other file is from the Red Mod 0.1.6 beta 3 button 800x480

They have the same name but the size is off.

Not sure if these means anything to anyone. Maybe if someone is running the Red Mod 0.1.6 beta 3 button 800x480 with a correctly calibrated screen we might be able to use that config. If anyone is willing to send it to me I'll give it a shot.

Hello everyone

I was still on 2.6.62 and decided to update to RedMod after the last few days of reading and catching up.

So I put redmod 1.8 from 9/20 on the HU last night and when I try to use the music or video player it is not seeing my sd card. I get a message "Unfortunately, the music (or video) player has stopped."

I am also on occasion getting a message that google play services has stopped and/or another message similar to that. The HU had no problem Updating from the SD card.

I have tried other music and video players with no luck.

Any ideas?

Has anyone had this issue with the earlier versions?
[Android Head-Units] jmh89:
I don't have any suggestins concerning the music player crashing or not finding the SD card, but concerning the Google Play service, mine used to crash everytime it booted up. Everthing seemed to function as normal, so I let it go. (I had to press the 'OK' button, though) Eventually, I reformatted (unrelated problems) and reflashed Redmon 0.1.6, and never had that error again.
[Android Head-Units] disc golfing:
Thanks,

I was thinking about going down to the 1.6 and try it.....or like you mentioned above...trying the BlueMod
[Android Head-Units] jmh89:
NOTE - Bluemod is in Russian. I didn't get a chance to play with it yet. Hopefully it's just a matter of switching languages... It looks pretty good, but, like I said, I didn't have much time to play with it.
[Android Head-Units] disc golfing:
Forgot about that....the 5th billet under Features mentions it is Russian Language.

Features:

The lack of red lines (in the case of Boot update on any other)

Boot-file 7 MB of 4.9.1 Kaier (most stable)

Ruth ® Superuser built and modified (full translation of the ban UnRoot)

Activated ® Busybox

Russian language after installation

oh well...I'll try the redmod 1.6 later today

Hey guys! So far things have been great. I have had my head unit set up pretty well for a while now (I will post a video of my set up soon). However all this talk about Red Mod has me wanting to try something new. My only gripe is I was warned by my manufacturer to not use other firmwares. My unit is a bit different than many if yours (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...luetooth-Radio-1GB-CPU/227447_1665288409.html). I am wondering if anyone with a similar unit has tried different firmwares or Red Mod with any success? I have always had to get my firmwares form the manufacturer. One indication of mine being different was all the different passwords the model I have has (as seen in earlier posts). Is Red Mod as fast and stable as it appears to be in the videos? I really hope to get it loaded as there seems to be some really good development on it.

Hi all,

I saw that some peoples have problems with Waze on firmware 2.8.8. I am not sure if someone had post a fix here yet.

Anyway i just installed 2.8.8 on my unit and Waze is crashing on start.

The solution:

- root the unit

- on your pc create a file named "build" (the name is not important)

- that file should contain these lines (no empty line at the beginning and end):

ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

ro.kernel.checkjni=0

persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0

persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1

- put this file on a usb/sd stick and connect and put the usb/sdcard into the unit (in my case it will be mounted to /mnt/sdcard/build - use es file explorer to check the path)

- install android terminal

- start android terminal

- enter the following commands (one per line, ENTER):

su (when asked if superuser access is allowed say YES)

mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system

cat build.prop > /mnt/sdcard/build.prop (backup the existing build.prop, make sure you have the correct path in mnt)

cat /mnt/sdcard/build >> /system/build.prop (this will add the 4 lines in the file to the existing build.prop)

reboot

After reboot, Waze should work. I hope this helps.

All credits to this : https://wiki.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=101020

PS: I noticed that if you remove the sdcard Waze will crash.

So another point:make sure you have sdcard inserted when using waze since it is using it for cache (or swap extcard in advanced menu).

Record or DVR

I am using Red Mod 0.1.8 and don't have any problems NONE.(except for radio presets don't turn red,i don't mind)

The only thing i can't figure out is to use the "RECORD" or "DVR"factory app with this unit.I do have a DVR camera but works ONLY with "AUX IN" app and aux in connector.I know the Zhoon version works but mine is not a Zhoon.Has anyone used a usb camera or "RECORD" with factory program?
[Android Head-Units] logicMASS:
I've tried all that with no luck. So have others from what I can tell. Searching for touch or calibration for this unit just point to the question on what to do. As far as I know this happens to be the only pseudo fix. If there is an actual fix that anyone knows of PLEASE point me in the right direction. I'm about ready to order another radio then deal with this anymore.

Hi All,

I have been out of the loop for quite a while and wanted to get my unit updated. I have the unit with the single knob. I am currently running system version 2.7.29 and MCU 4.2.5-1-10-2101. I wanna know what the most recent firmware update is and how to install it.

Questions on this headunit

i just purchased a on amazon and was wondering if its the same can any of you confirm. i can acquire root using baidu root but i loose it the minute i restart the unit. a few reviews claim it is a AN-21U unit running 4.2.2

i am unable to post an image but if you search for this on amazon it will come up.

[Android Head-Units] disc golfing:
Yeah I quoted myself...went back to redmod 1.6 and realized what I did wrong with 1.8. I have put 1.8 back on and no issues at all.

Your MCU/CPU is the same so I don't see any issues with it, but you may want for others to chime in about it. It is built on the Cortex A9 MST786, which you have.

I also have the one knob that Kid52 posted in the OP and have been running the RedMod 1.6 and 1.8 for a few days and it is much better than the others I've tried in the past.

Download the file, unzip it, put on sd card, put it in micro sd slot with unit OFF, turn HU ON, let it boot, goto General Setting---System Update--OK, then let it do it's thing......takes about 2 maybe 3 minutes. It auto Roots and you may have to update SuperUser, it'll let ya know.

Hi everyone!

I'm a second creator of firmware from the russian server 4pda, I doing firmware similar to RedMod, only in blue (BlueMod ST Edition).

And now I'm doing a project a unified firmware for two screen resolutions: 800x480 1204x600 simultaneously.

Since I have a device with a resolution of 800*480 only, I need the help in testing files at a resolution of 1024*600.

And now I'm rewrite some files for the best view.

If you have a device with a resolution of 1024*600 and you want help me - please, write here or in PM, I'll give you some instructions and my e-mail for further correspondence

I was unable to find blue mod on that forum I tried Google translate it did not work out I did install the 1204x600 and it worked but with a few glitches and it was in Russian so I had to get rid of it also root was not working either if you have the 800x480 version with JY Launcher I would appreciate it and I can test for ya pm me make sure its English...

MCU version 4.3.14-13-10-250201:

[Android Head-Units] jmh89:
Can someone tell me what exactly the MCU update does? And why it should not be updated? Every time I flash a new firmware version (currently RedMod 1.9 beta) there are two files. One file size approximately 8 Mb, other file size is approximately 150Mb. Is the large file the firmware and the smaller one the MCU?

The reason I ask. Since I last updated it, the sound quality is terrible... some songs sound like they're under water. Other songs drop out vocals or the instruments vary in loudness. It sounds like a royal mess. From my understanding, the MCU directly affects the sound?

What should I do from here? Find a firmware and MCU that sound and look good? Why do some people tell me to NOT MESS WITH THE MCU? Can I update the firmware without changing the mcu?

thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

what we all are doing here is experimenting and when one of us head unit mess up it help out everyone else to don't do that the other just did lol......to your questions..1. If your unit is not broke don't mess with it. the fact is the maker of the units stop updating the firmware years ago. So every time you see a new MOD or new firmware its someone improving the last firmware or MOD. So we thank them and we experiment.......2. The MCU controls every hardware of your unit, your knobs, bluetooth, sounds and so forth. 3. most people who update their MCU, is because they had an 1st GEN radio and updating the MCU improve the the sound or Boot time. another reason and the only reason anyone should update the MCU if they change out a hardware ie bluetooth. 4. The mod you install only update the software only, like the launcher, again no new software have came out in years. The new MOD's are only someone changing the colors and arrangements of the apps and adding of one or 2 apps, but again The OS is the same. I have my original MCU in my unit ever since I have my unit. I have had problem and its only because I mess around in the extra settings, like turning on bluetooth 6 when I don't have a bluetooth 6 board. doing this I lost by bluetooth function. I like the new mod and I have .1.6 currently install because of the launcher..If someone could post screen shots of .1.8 and .1.9 it would be great. I only update to the new MODS so I can get a new look at. my radio because I am in my car most of the day.

Hope this info helps and when in dough, leave it alone..
[Android Head-Units] jmh89:
Thanks for helping me out with the MCU description. That helps a lot.

So if I never changed the MCU, what could be distorting the sound so much? Would RedMod actually change the sound? I've tried resetting the head unit (due to sound priority getting messed up from turning the key to accessory then back on ignition....) but resetting doesn't seem to change the sound at all. Is it worth trying a different firmware?

I like the way RedMod 0.1.9 looks, and it has permanent Root. It has worked very well for me (unless sound is related to it) The apps weren't updated much since 0.1.8, but the system seems to have some nice finishing touches.

I can confirm that external2internal app works. It successfully swaps my internal and external sd card on boot (the integrated feature in settings didn't work for me):

internal mount point: /mnt/sdcard

external mount point: /mnt/storage/extsd1

external mount device: /dev/block/vold/179:25

This does basically the same as the script in #1670 by [MENTION=3078782]squegie[/MENTION]

The problem was that I've installed and updated another superuser binary. Didn't recognize that RedMod 1.9 already comes with Superuser preinstalled.

Now it works flawlessly.

1.9 comes with new root (whatever that means)

So here's a new issue. It is successfully swapping at boot, however; Waze no longer works. While its in storage only part of the GUI loads, none of the roads / maps load. I moved it to device and then it won't in launch, gives you a black screen and crashes after a few seconds. I deleted it and completely reinstalled it while it was swapped to my USB and it won't load up on device OR storage and I'm unsure as to why... Any ideas? What I may end up doing is swapping my sdcard storage instead and moving my music to my USB drive.

@ jjayce I upgrade today and had the same issue.. I fix my issue and don't know if it will work for everyone else.

I was running 2.8.8 and it was rooted ... then I upgraded to .1.9 and after rebooting I will lose root access.

how I fix mines: I uninstall "Superuser" and uninstall "Baidu_Root" ... then I reinstall redmod .1.9 again and I no longer lose root access when I restart my unit. .... Like someone said on a earlier post, redmod .1.9 come with root access. if you already have root access then try to install redmod that have root too.. basically I had 2 root program install at the same time that was canceling out each other when you boot.

That's because there is no 4.4 or 4.2 for AN-21U. There are many ROM's available that have faked the settings text, but they are all still 4.1

Hello

I am hoping that someone here can help me with my unit.

It is "not" a single knob AN-21, but it appears to be made by the same manufacturer. TW

The passwords on the first page of this thread all work for unlocking the features in my unit.

My unit has two knobs, Volume on lower left and tuning on lower right. A single micro SD slot on upper right, with a dummy slot on the upper left

I've been able to root it using the KingRoot App, so it may also work for an AN-21 since the firmware seems to be the same..

Android 4.4.2 is installed.

My problem is that my car manufacturers logo is not listed in the extra settings under logo and I have had no luck as yet adding it with apps from the play store, or locating the directory that contains them to add it there.

Does anyone know where the car logo files are stored, and what format they are in. Also any help in adding a Dodge logo would be greatly appreciated. (an app or program that can create the files in the needed format)

I've tried threads for units that looked like mine, but no help there, but since the firmware on mine more closely matches these units, you are my best hope for this.

Thank you in advance.

Also, there is an app on the desktop that has three logos in it that has a symbol that looks like an S, but it is password protected against importing more logo's. Does anyone know the password to this App? The App is proprietary to TW and not available at the play store.
