I haven't found a way to change it's storage location, and it appears to store the vehicle's profile and extra P.I.D.(Extra sensor stuff) info there. I suppose I could live with it opening on boot with no error, but I'd really like to delay it if at all possible, just to help my boot time. Plus, if I could delay the startup of the program, it would repair this external storage error at the same time.

Is this a "AN-21 U" Radio?

Hi, i'm planning on buying this unit: aliexpress.com/store/product/7-INCH-Android-4-1-car-pc-built-in-car-DVD-GPS-Wifi-Bluetooth-Dual-core/227447_1712895257.html

Since I don't use the DVD, and this one has a 7"screen, can you tell me if this is an "AN-21 U" radio?

ThankYou.

If you're using ES Explorer, turn on Root Access then click it and set Mount R/W. This is what I have set and I set superuser to grant access forever in the initial dialog that pops up asking access when running it the first time and I'm all good.

Yes, I think that it has already been stated in the forum 5-10 pages back that this is an "AN-21 U" radio with same specs.

Hi again

A few pages back, I asked whether s. o. has an idea why I can't root my T7019a (from Tradesolutions Hongkong)

It's an Android 4.1 with the latest MCU and v96 system.

I installed a terminal, copied RootMyAn20-14 to the unit and tried to install this apk.

It stops with a parsing error.

Any ideas ? What am I doing wrong?

Other then that I am pretty happy with it, got Torque working and Sygic Navigation runs pretty well ;)

Thanks

Oliver

The radio app in your picture was my unit's stock radio app. After upgrading to .96, it changed to the one attached.

My unit came with version 2.6.77, maybe this could help.

Oops, there is one problem, which wasn't there before. Youtube App won't show videos:confused:. "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry". and again, and so on, no matter how many retries. It always looks like it's about to play this time, but it never does, while other devices on the same wi-fi network run youtube smoothly.

When I open _m.youtube.com_ using Chrome, it plays videos, except only sound is heard - the screen is completely black, no video is shown (it does show the player's interface though... Elapsed time, buttons, etc.)

Using the stock browser, however, I can still play youtube videos.

There is no problem playing videos stored locally, so I really don't know what to start looking after..
[Android Head-Units] MFKinSINY:
Thanks!!! Going by what you said, maybe I should just "downgrade" to 2.6.77 and then copy all of the apk's in the system folder to my stick then I should upgrade to 2.6.96 and root my unit, install superuser and then proceed to install the version of the radio app I pull from the 2.6.77 stock. I appreciate your insight on this.

[Android Head-Units] oferlap:
Well, I hope that would work for you. I haven't tried yet to combine apps from different firmware versions.

May I ask, what do you find better in the .77 radio app? because as far as I can tell from playing just a little with both, I find the .96 more comfortable - there are 18 presets for each band (the 77 had only 6 or 8 if I remember correctly), tuning (and manual fine tuning, which is important where reception is low) interface are easier to handle.. Anyways, good luck.

Edit: after taking a look again at the screenshot of the .77 app, perhaps I have just missed some of it's options. Maybe it DOES allow manual fine tuning by just touching the < and > soft buttons near the frequency display, like the .96 app allows. Maybe there are more preset buttons available by just dragging the existing buttons aside, like the .96 app allows to drag them up-down..

Add that premium touch...

A big touchscreen is a start, but if you look at the premium car brands, most include some input controller in front of the arm rest for primary or alternative input. This makes sense, since e.g. entering a street adress into navigation while driving with the soft keyboard is not really fun.

Those controllers often act joystick like, which requires a UI that is optimized for that, so you can easily move from item to item (with the benefit of little need to look at the screen once you know your steps). But since this is not given for our units (although some clever programming might be able to provide it), some general pointing device might be easier to integrate. So the idea is to either add an trackball or external touchpad. The touchpad has the benefit, that entering characters for handwriting recognition is certainly more natural than with a trackball.

Thus I ordered a small touchpad (Perixx PERIPAD-501, around 25€), which can be immediatly used mouse like with our unit. I then installed various keyboard replacements (Graffiti for Android, EZ Gesture Keyboard, StylusKeyboard, G-Board) for handwritting like input, of which I like Graffiti the best. This also makes the character input on the main touchscreen saver while driving.

While this setup basically works, there are two issues:

1. The right button of the touchpad gets the same mapping as the left. It would be better, if it could e.g. be mapped to the back button. Does anyone know how to easily achieve this?

2. The external touchpad acts mouse like, i.e. it moves a pointer and needs a (simulated) left click to actually input something. This makes character input more combersome, as for each character an inital double tap is needed to write it. It would be beneficial, if it could be switched to act like an absolute postition drawing pad when the soft keyboard is active, so that writting starts with the first tap on it. Any tipps if and how this could be done?

Don't buy additional PAC Adapter for SWC. I have 2002 Accord EX v6. All you need to do is find which factory harness slot is for SWC, then match with the after market harness. After that, if you have an use aftermarket harness, break it apart and take the wire. Make sure the pin attach to the wire is not cut off cuz u need that pin to plug to the aftermarket harness. For an 2002 Accord, the slot for SWC is on slot #3 # 11, that is next to Red (ACC) wire of aftermarket harness. But, I only use slot #3. Once I home, i can screenshot what i meant.

The SWC on a factory harness is call Radio Remote Switch output. It's on slot #3 and # 11 (Green with Red wire) of factory harness.

the newer civics make radio installation much more difficult. With the I-mid screen and separate Bluetooth module. plus if it has the premium stereo or an si there is a separate amp which you would need to splice rca cables into. Plus the SWC will not work without an adapter. The RP4-HD11 makes it very very easy to install, and apparently will work with the Bluetooth controls, though i havnt tried yet to confirm

Regarding Sygic, I have version 13.4.2 installed. It does not work well in the background, even though I have marked this in sygics setting.

For example when switching from Sygic to radio app and back from radio to Sygic after a minute. Sygic seems to erased my destination and route. Also I noticed when in radio screen or any other screen or app, Sygic says I am at my destination, when actually I am really not near my destination.

Just go to any electronic supply store (Radio Shack) and get the female Stereo 3mm plug. Or do like I did and rip apart an old radio that has one and get it from there. Then soldier three wires to it. One to tip connection, one to Ring connection and one to ground connection. Then tie the tip connection wire to Key 1 on the Radio, the ring connection to Key 2 on the radio, and ground connection to ground on the radio

How fast do you want it to boot up? This thing boots up faster than my Galaxy S2. It boots up in about 20 secs, so even if removing the boot screen will improve boot time, I don't see it being noticeable.

1. My backup camera turns on when I am in reverse even if the car stereo is booting.

2. Not sure what widget you are talking about. Are you talking about the red button bar? If so I don't think so unless you use a different launcher.

3. Go to > Settings > Extra Settings. I believe the password is 7890. If not then try 123456. I always get them mixed up with the Developer's Options password.

Firmware question

Hello Guys

I am new to firmware upgrades. So please, only answer if you sure and know the answer.

I have version 2.6.70 and MCU 4.2.6.1-7-10.6501. I am little tierd of all the bugs and mal functions. Example "google.services has stoped working" " need to resync or remove and add google acount to download from Play.

So im thinking of upgrade to 2.6.96. But i have seen alot peopple having troubble after trying different MCU.

Do i need to Root if i only want to upgrade firmware and not MCU? Will the unit still work on the old MCU?

(i know new funktions don't support old MCU)

One more question. Has firmware 2.6.96 a new launcer?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

[Android Head-Units] Miwer:
This doesn't make my unit boot any faster - sure the boot animation is gone, but the time it takes before the unit is ready (i.e. the last used app is started, and the unit is usable) is still the same.

I measured this with a stop watch, and the AUX app as last used app:

Normal (no settings added):

Time before boot animation off: 24 seconds

Time before AUX app started: 25 seconds

Added debug.sf.nobootanimation:

Time before boot logo off: 21 seconds

Time before AUX app started: 25 seconds

Added ro.config.hw_quickpoweron:

Time before boot logo off: 21 seconds

Time before AUX app started: 25 seconds

Conclusion:

nobootanimation does indeed disable the boot animation, but it does not increase the boot time. It switches display from the custom boot logo to android a couple of seconds earlier, but it only increases the time you see a black screen, and the android menu, before the last used app is started and the system is ready.

hw_quickpoweron doesn't change anything... also I can't really find any info on this option other than "Faster boot"... but why? What does the option do specifically? What does it do quicker, or not at all, by having this option? And why is such an option not standard (had it been working)?

I dunno... I might use the nobootanimation option permanently. Haven't decided yet :)
