Heh, heh. Yeah, that's an alternate way of opening it up. The Quick Launch APK does the same thing though a tad more convenient since you don't have to type in the terminal console. So, for example, if you have Google Seach installed on your device then you can use Quick Launch window to assign Voice Search app to the letter [v]. Now, if your SWC program to duplicate the [Search]+[v] then it will launch the Voice Search so you can use voice commands to take advantage of Google's voice commands.

Apologies, I just saw "3.1" and assumed it works on devices with kernel version 3.1 and above as thats how version criteria is usually quoted in requirements for apps, never heard of an app only working on 1 kernel version before and not subsequent versions as well, very strange.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Ah okay I get it now (I think) :good:

I had a look, but cannot see a way to assign a steering wheel button to a quick launch in the SWC settings. I assume this is what you mean?

I posted the only available SWC options a while back, and linked to them recently.

Interestingly there were a few preset ones in the Quick Launch menu, such as calculator. My keyboard happened to have a "Search" button on it, and it did work when combined with "c".
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Most apps only worry about the Android API version not the Linux kernel version. The kernel version is uniquely important in this case is because the DVB-T driver has to be able to communicate with the kernel. So, most likely, the drivers needed to enable this functionality will need to be recompiled for the newer kernel in the AN 21-U unit.

Well, yes and no. I think. Let me clear it up, by giving an example using the Calculator preset in Quick Launch that you mentioned. The Calculator has the default setting of [Search]+[c] in the Quick Launch. So, if the SWC were able to assign the [Search]+[c] key combination to a button then you can use it to bring up the Calculator. Although, Voice Search is a more useful app to bring up with a physical button.

I figured that it would. I use this method on my Android head unit with the carPc JoyCon EXR to call up the Voice Seach app. I might have gotten this head unit confused with another Chinese unit in another thread that can assign letters to the SWC.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
So you mean assign [Search]+[c] in the SWC options to a physical button? If so, you cannot do that. The options for SWC are confined to a specific set of functions. The list I took some photos of previously are the only functions you can assign to steering wheel buttons, you cannot assign a letter, custom command, etc.

Ok so I have a problem. I pissed off my wife and she punched the AN-21 U 4 times until the glass shattered. The LCD still works. I'm using the remote to change songs for now. But the touch screen is hosed. Anyone know if there is a replacement part I can get to fix this?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Not sure but I think the larger problem is that your wife needs counseling or therapy. She needs to be able to use her words not her fists.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
If anyone doesn't have a specific search key, I believe the context menu key (between the right Alt and Ctrl keys) will also call up the search function.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Definitely a more eloquent response than I would have given :D

As for the screen, get in contact with Peter Chan via Skype (pumpkin_cool) and he should be able to sell you just the front panel if you're lucky.

USB debugging password

Hello,

This is my first post here. I just received my unit, which I think is the same as discussed here, two days ago. I have discovered the password for USB-debugging, and as far as I can tell no one has posted that before. The password is "john@tw-desktop".
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
That is extremely interesting, thank you. Do you mine sharing how you discovered this?
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
very cool find on the whole repeat/long/super long... I could not get "home" to function as expected though...

I don't have swc in my car, but I can't stand the Idea of having to get out of the navigation or any other software I'm using just to skip a song in pandora or other music app... Would love to get buttons working with apps.
[Android Head-Units] nikko82:
I decompiled the settings apk-file and found it inside the source code. I can give you more details if you want to.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Thanks, I just tested it again and now mine doesn't function like it did just a couple days ago. What have you done to my unit? :(

I am confused now, I am sure that I had "HOME" set to "R", and it brought up a recent app list. Now, I cannot get the recent app list to display no matter what I set it to. Maybe I was using a different launcher...
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
That might be it...
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
But that would still be the home button functioning correctly, 1 press to go to "middle" screen, and hold to open recent app list, still performing two functions rather than just a "press" function.

Right, I cannot figure it out. I tried the only other launcher that I use, which is ADW - no recent app list (I've tried a keyboard with a home button too to eliminate the incorrect button setup).

I can only assume that all the information I "tested" earlier was wrong. Perhaps alcohol or other substances were the cause, who knows, clearly hallucinations were happening.

Anyway, let's do it again.

Holding a keyboard button down increases the "repeatCount" in the KeyTest app.

Setting button mode to "R" acts as pressing the same button multiple times, not holding.

Setting button mode to "L" or "S" and releasing button before the second function has activated activates the first function.

Setting button mode to "L" or "S" and holding button activates the second function once, continuing to hold does not repeat this function.

Sorry for the complete ****-up before.

It may be a useful reference if you could post more details, if it is not too much trouble of course.

I seem to remember [MENTION=5389783]donaldta[/MENTION] mentioning that "john@tw-desktop" phrase earlier in this thread.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
interesting, there is a choice for "recent" in the list of long press actions but it doesn't work either... The "button" brings up the three "home", "recent" and "back" buttons... recent works there... I guess close enough for now.
[Android Head-Units] :
hey guys,

let's say i have an app that requiers an IMEI and an device-ID (serial number) to work properly.

does anybody of you know how to fake these?

I already tried with the IMEI-Gen from DizzyDen (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103766) but this didn't work.

Perhaps you have an idea!
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I did but my findings was in regards to com.tw.service_a5a4.apk file, whereas I believe [MENTION=5642747]nikko82[/MENTION] found it in the com.android.settings_2c11.apk file, specifically in the aH class (aka com.android.settings_2c11.apk\smali\com\android\settings\aH.smali).
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Yes, I appreciate that. I just think it's ironic that the password had been mentioned without anyone knowing at the time :)
[Android Head-Units] insaino:
Just ordered the same unit... Notice the ARM chip is clocked @ 1.2Ghz not at a flat 1Ghz will using the firmware updates on here declock the CPU? also the unit has no tv tuner will that conflict?
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Both the "1GHz" and "1.2GHz" units show ~1800 BogoMIPS. Which suggests they are both the same speed, hence perhaps one listing is not so truthful.

The tuner should not make a difference. As far as I know, people who have this unit without it have not had an issue with the posted firmware.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I agree. I could have found it earlier but didn't bother to look since the original idea was to get root access. And, since [MENTION=5554780]bmj67[/MENTION] gave a copy of settings file directly to [MENTION=531561]WonderEkin[/MENTION] without posting it here, I didn't have access to it to look for it. Besides, WonderEkin made quick strides to get root access, so I had deprioritize the idea of finding it. By the time that you posted a copy of the running system directory, the idea seemed moot and it seemed the idea of how the swc worked was more pressing.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
That is true, as the app enabled it anyway, the password was not really needed, but having it now is definitely nice - I've updated the main thread with it.

I think it would be worth collecting up some requested features so if people wish to contribute, they can see what people are really wanting. I seem to remember this idea being mentioned before, but never acted upon.

I'll start off a short list for now, some things may or may not be agreed upon, but I believe they have all been mentioned at least.

SWC working with any app - I think this is really the top priority and would increase functionality for a lot of people.

Linking the real MicroSD card to /sdcard rather than the internal memory - this would allow for a lot more music players to be used, but needs to be done in a safe way as not to upset any apps (as mentioned in an early post).

Bluetooth OBDII scanners - pretty common question, even if a lot of people frown upon using Bluetooth for this.

Custom ROMs - I guess this would involve a few things, either being able to decrypt the existing system images, or removing the decryption from the update process on the unit and creating a non-encrypted ROM from the system files.

Root is required, Market helper enables you to download apps that are normally considered incompatible.

I just tried spoofing the unit as a nexus 7 and was able to install tablet talk. This should also work for other apps that where reported unavailable from market...

can someone please post a copy of MCU update labelled 318a2e70‐44bf‐11e1‐b1cf‐000c29ba27c0 ?

desperately need this so someone please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Isn't that for the OUKU unit?

I think the MCU update file for the AN-21 U is "8d8d1b1a-ea4a-11e2-a661-000c29ba27c0", which should be included with all of the firmware updates on the first page.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
Well I am not sure now and bit confused. The unit I have is running 4.1 and A9 vs OUKU is 2.x and A8. I have resistive screen.

Im bit stuck as i updated the unit with the firmware from the first page of this thread thinking its the right one. The unit came with 2.6.60 FW. Update worked but I'm having issues with the unit drawing power even when fully shut down so wanted to try different MCU (based on what the seller is telling me) to fix this.

the model is TH8681GA and I can not find ANY information on this unit anywhere on the internet.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Do the posted firmware files work with the resistive screen? I put a warning that the screen may stop functioning as the firmware is for capacitive screens.

As for the sleep issue, did the mentioned solution of a previous firmware version being installed and model selected not work?

Did the issue only occur after updating?

If the seller is telling you to upgrade/downgrade the MCU, they should be providing the correct file.

Are you sure that's the MCU? seems like it could be the uimage file...
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Bogo MIPS just gives a very rough estimate of cpu speed, could someone run Antutu to benchmark the unit so we can all get an idea of its performance ?

(It should also give the actual cpu speed, as should Android System Info, Andanalyzer and System Panel etc, I m sure someone earlier in this thread said that CPU Indentifier doesnt work on this unit.)

power to the unit

hi,

I would like to know if i could power up this unit at home using the AC to DC adapter i get it from my old router. the adapter is having a output of 12V 2.5A picture attached. i search in youtube mostly people suggest to use a computer PSU which i do not have one at home.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Quite the router at 2.5A!! it might be just enough.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
It could be. I think the MCU file is included with the updates prior to 2.6.62 though, just can't remember the actual file name. Any way to know for certain?

Yes, that has been mentioned.

Where in Android System Info does it state the CPU speed in MHz? There have been a few posts that have the entire exported information from this app, and the only speed is stated in BogoMIPS, not MHz. I have also looked again just now and cannot find the speed, but for reference it shows two processors, each with ~1800BogoMIPS. The CPU model is mentioned in the first post; an ARM Cortex A9 MST786 Dual Core 1GHz.

The AnTuTu benchmark app states "Samsung Exynos 4412" for the CPU, but then it also states the unit has a 2.1MP rear camera, and that I have a rather long IMEI number.

As for the results, here they are.

Should be fine, my unit uses 1.5A with no speakers connected.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Under the CPU section in Android System Info theres a "Frequency range" heading, quoting the slowest and fastest speeds, also above that there is a "Hardware" heading that lists the cpu type, or at least there is on my phone.

System panel also gives speed in Mhz and cpu type, although its looking like there might be problems getting the correct cpu type it Antutu and CPU Identifier are anything to go by.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
I don't have a "Frequency Range" heading in the CPU section.

SystemPanel does not show a CPU type, but does state Min and Max frequency of 0MHz.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Very strange, seems like something is blocking these apps from getting the info, wonder what ?
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
the posted file 2.6.62 worked ok however the issue with the unit was occurring before I upgraded to 2.6.62. I thought the upgrade of firmware will resolve it but it did not. The screen despite being resistive, works perfectly fine.

re: th sleep issue and what was posted, changing the model does not help. Either model I select, the issue is happening.

I connected my multimeter between the negative lead on the battery (after disconnecting it from the batter) and the negative connector so I can measure current drawn. I can clearly see that if I pull out the radio fuse, the draw is 0, which is what it should be. When I put the fuse back, turn on the ignition, start the unit, the draw goes up to about 2.7Amp (this includes my amp) and then when I turn off the ignition, the draw is still at 0.8Amps. The car was sitting un-driven for 48 hours and the unit completely drained the battery.

Problem with the seller is, whilst he is helpful, I dont think he even knows himself. He sent me one file which was supposed to do system update (containing u‐boot‐skip.bin,Image,uramdisk.img,system.img files) but nothing happens when I try to update (I get this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejykxMsHwFU ) . He messaged me yesterday that he is uploading a file but it apparently takes 6 hours lol saying that internet is slow in China. I kinda laughed at that but then asked him for a screenshot of his upload speed of the file and it was at 9kb/s heh. So I'm waiting.

The reason I asked for the MCU file is because he was saying that he thinks thats the one I need. Anyway, thank you for our help. I'll see what he sends me and if that does not help, I will have to return the unit back to him which is an incredible pain in the ass.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Ah okay, there are so many posts in here daily I completely forget what has been asked/suggested.

The files he sent you are the same as what is used for the previous OUKU unit, the files for this unit have hashed names and are encrypted, I guess he is getting confused.

It is good to know the screen functions with the firmware, so it doesn't matter what type of screen you have, which makes it easier for them and for us I guess.

Hard to say what the issue is really, could be software, could be hardware.

If I knew for definite that the firmware files I uploaded contained the MCU file, then you could pretty much rule out the software as you would have the same system/MCU as most other people who do not have the issue. I would guess it is a hardware issue, but would happily be proved wrong as a software update would certainly be easier for you.

My upload speed is not much better :( On my home fibre connection I get 100KB/s upload, but on my phone via HSDPA I get 250KB/s...
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
does it draw that much also when you disconnect the acc wire or just when you shut off the unit with a long press of the knob?

I am pulling out my amp meter and doing some testing myself. But the way I understand it, there was a "model choose" with an option for sleep in earlier roms and that choice is different on the newer roms (if I read right, not from personal experience yet). You might have to downgrade to get the choice again, install the non sleep one then you might be able to upgrade again (??) would be nice to find out more about those choices, maybe files in the system somewhere that we could port from one rom to another?
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
yes, it draws power even when ACC is disconnected.

This is where I am confused as I thought that meant I did not have the sleep model set.

Although, it is possible that the unit shipped to me in sleep mode and I upgraded to newer firmware which does not have sleep mode (only normal and color) however the sleep setting, or part of it, remained active so with the new firmware, when I turn off the ignition its still running but it does not fast wake up when I press and hold the power knob because the new firmware changed something and it requires full boot.

I will try later today to upgrade to 2.6.60,am I correct in assuming that this firmware had the sleep mode under "Choose model" ? if yes, do I select that or is there another model to choose from as I think someone said there is only one model?

Its been driving me mad and got to the point where I am really fed up with it. The unit itself works brilliantly and I can't complain at all, but yeah, need to sort this as I cant drive around with radio constantly draining the battery as its actually quite bad for the battery to be drained like that.
[Android Head-Units] avgaz:
Model sleep there in the firmware 2.6.60 and 2.6.60-2 in 2.6.62 model color.

But I sleep model only works by pressing buttons at ACC is completely off, all right?
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I currently (2.6.60) have 2 models, sleep and non sleep, BUT, The sleep mode only works when long pressing the knob, once I disconnect the acc it shuts off, either from full on or sleep mode. Once I disconnect acc. it draws 0.04 amps, About 1.2 - 1.4 when on and 0.9 when in sleep.

I'm backing up all I can then I'll start experimenting with rom upgrades, my MCU is currently 4.0.6-1-10-0301 and I would like to keep it at that as messing with the MCU burned me with the ouku... I will try to figure out wich file is the mcu... I'll keep you posted if I figure anything else out, but it seems like you might have a hardware problem, I don't remember anyone else reporting sleep mode with ACC disconnected...
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
well, I dont know if I am in sleep mode. Thats what I am trying to say. When the ignition is on and I long press the power knob, the unit goes completely off. It does not wake up quickly like we have seen in the video posted by avgaz. It goes through the full boot cycle so I dont know what is going on.

And yes, when I take the ACC fuse out (since its all hooked up to my car) and the main power is connected to the radio, the current draw is at 0.83Amps

Ok, so playing with the different versions of the rom...

I was happy to see that with 2.6.62 if I choose the "color" model, the color changing app works! BUT. The sleep function no longer does. If I pick a different color, that stais until until I change model again. So, I can't have both :(

I kind of really like the possibility of a pseudo sleep as it will save me a lot of time once I get a IOIO to handle shutdown... Has anyone figured out a command to put the unit to sleep with the sleep mode enabled?

BTW [MENTION=1075158]omarko[/MENTION] In none of my combinations rom/model choice, would the unit not sut down completely with the ACC disconnected... Sorry, can't replicate your problem.
