Mounting the ext2 partition located on external microSD

Dear All,

I created a 15GB ext2 partion on my 32GB microSd. It has the following on it:

mmcblk1p1 - 15GB exFAT

mmcblk1p2 - 15GB ext2

I want to mount the mmcblk1p2 ext2 partition into the system, and I want it to be automatically remounted upon boot.

In linux, one normally would edit a boot script file in /etc/fstab, but I am not sure that is the case here. Does anyone know where I would find the boot script?

Also, I tried to use Link2SD not to move apps and link them via symbolic links, but just to mount the ext2 mmcblk1p2 partition. link2SD unfortunately crashes every time as I start it.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
Thanks, it was that! By the way, how do you know Viper4Android is working? I think it doesn't work in my unit, I can't listen any difference... Does it work with radio fm or with ipod? Another thing, I hate the red color, is so dark with black background that it's really hard to read any title... It would be easier to read with a lighter red.

Hi All,

I've "Factory Reset" my device from aliexpress item Pure-Android-8-inch-KIA-sportage-r-Sportage-dvd-gps-2010-2011-2012-2013-with-radio 1561796683.html (can't post the original link) because I had a problem with my internal MIC... I thought it would help but it only got it worse. Now I don't have Google Play installed and some buttons in the Notification Bar doesn't work (Home and Settings buttons).

I did a system update with the original firmware that I got from the seller and it didn't help either.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
Did you check that Viper is switched on by opening the Viper app? You can enable it there, you can even force to enable it, you can select the equalizer preset (i.e. Rock) and the effect strength. Please also check the Viper settings menu; I think there is a menu item for "Status" which indicates that it is running.

I usually also configure the stock equalizer (some bass, lot of treble, loudness to max, subwoofer to min).

It could well be that radio and iPod playback are not going through Viper. I check and let you know (I usually run Poweramp and Deezer).
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
Yeah, I tried to force but even that option doesn't seem to work with stock iPod music app...
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
I can confirm that - iPod and radio apps are not playing through Viper. You would have to use the stock eq for this.

One more remark: In Poweramp you would need to enable the Music FX and disable the built-in PA eq.

A/V out - Bluetooth tranmitter - Headphones Possible

Hey AN-21 U community I have a question... Would it be possible to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the A/V audio output to listen to the Radio. Basically you would connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the A/V audio and connect your headphones to the transmitter using the USB port for power.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
not really sure what your goal is but yes, you can connect the line- ouput level of the an21 to every type of wireless transmitter (be it bt or propriatary 2,4 ghz modules) and a headset that is paired to the transmitter would let you listen to everything the unit throws out at that time. I just am a bit puzzled to why you'd want to do that as you'll simply hear exactly the same thing in your headphone and your car speakers ?

Using the real a/v ports (the ones that are meant for headrest displays) will not let you listen to anything but the ouput that the unit provides to these ports (dvd output - possibly cd output too but not sure) as these ports are not under android control.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

V4A only works on android audiostrams. MCU-based apps like radio, cd, ipod ect are outside of V4A's control.
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
What a pity. I listen a lot of Bluetooth streams and usually iPod music. I would use Poweramp or other 3rd party app but I think there's no way of listening to iPod outside stock app.

[Android Head-Units] MoonPie2000:
There are times when radio listening is not desired by all car occupants. The question now is does the mute button mute all outputs our just the main speaker output? Does this make more sense now?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
ah, i see.

Won't work. Mute is systemwide and on all outputs (both line and speaker output). It can be realized but not without some extra hardware, basically a swichbox.

[Android Head-Units] picozzo:
Hello,

I have to ask a few questions.

Foreword:

On my car radio I installed the Android 2.9.5 firmware.

The default audio player is not nice to use, it must be improved. The names of folders created in the SD card are not displayed and are not put in alphabetical order. Very poor.

I installed Rocket player, but I have a problem and I hope that some of you more experienced can help me.

When I turn on the car and the rocket player is started, the car radio is turned on and off quickly and the player does not hear the audio.

I tried to reinstall the app rocket player, but nothing.

To make it work again, I have to reset the car radio with the result of installing all the apps that I need.

While the default player runs regular.

What can I do to make the player without having to reset the radio?

Otherwise you tell me which player best audio recommended to install?

Thank you very much

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

AFAIK nobody has tried... I seriously doubt that will work. and if it did, it would only be on the android side. Things like radio, ipod, bluetooth DVD etc, would not. The sound subsystem on these units is a bit more complex than that of a tablet (fader/balance subwoofer etc.) and it's not part of android. Thankfully, the quality has been reported to be decent.
[Android Head-Units] kmtk:
Have you tried uninstalling the app that has the winter background? It's one of the preinstalled apps that come with the unit, can't remember the name though. Season Wallpapers or something like that.

Before all this root your device as it might be required. I'd actually suggest doing a factory reset and then root before you do anything else.

Hi thank you! You already there were wires? I have these empty sockets for some reason

thanks ... from what I can see is happening, only the live wallpapers that have been installed stock with the unit are remembered after restart when selected. Dont understand this.
[Android Head-Units] sorin129:
Oh yes, its worth it. I love this unit
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
hmm ... I am still puzzled by this wifi dongle still on when the unit shuts down when you turn off the ignition.

I haven't started the car since yesterday and I just touched the unit and its warm as in its turned on. Its not like really warm but I can definitely see the temperature of the unit is higher than the surroundings in the car. This means it has to be drawing power which is bad news in car environment as it might leave me with a flat battery stuck somewhere.

Can someone check please whether their unit (the screen) is warm if its turned off for bit longer?
[Android Head-Units] gpmg762:
Got Google Now working, sort of anyway. Here's how I did it.

install an old PrebulitGMSCore apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8WVI2YWg3TFZ4MTg/edit?usp=sharing (Google Play Services).

install Velvet apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8X2t2MzQ4MkMyd1U/edit?usp=sharing (Google Now).

this step probably not be needed as I was trying to install Google Home Launcher, install Google Home apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRr4c4c1g8OU9odi1ZRzJ5cHM/edit?usp=sharing (Google Home Launcher).

launch Google Now, it will detect a new version, update it.

I can use Google Now to launch default Radio and Music app by "play music" and "play radio".

"play disc" not working for me, neither are "navigate home" and "navigate office", they just get normal search results.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

I need your help again.Ok so I got to test that B31 wire and is definitely the wire for steering wheel controls. My car is using voltage references for each button. The voltages are from 0.4 to 3.5 so I connected the Key 1 from the radio but it still does not work. I gave up for tonight because is late. I'm going to try tomorrow Key 2 ( maybe was mislabeled) but before I do that, do you have any idea what else I should try?

When I tested the wire I had the positive from the multimiter on the B31 wire and the ground I was touching the chassis of the car and it worked perfect. Now I'm thinking that connecting Key 1 from the radio, it should work without connecting any other wire right? because the radio is grounded correct? but yet is not working. I don't get it why is not working. I'm missing something.

Ps. I do know that I have to go in to settings on the radio, under steering wheel control settings and program the buttons but is not registering any buttons.
[Android Head-Units] gpmg762:
Can you test the positive on the B31 wire and the ground (black wire) going to the radio to confirm a closed loop.

I had to connect my resistive SWC with the ground going to the radio to make it work.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
hmm... I contacted the seller so lets see what he says.

the car has been fine so far, no flat battery after the unit has been on it for nearly 24 hours. Will see what happens over next few days as I dont have to drive anywhere so will see if the unit is draining the car battery.

Otherwise than this, its working ok. I like how the radio turns on straight way when you start the car (if that was the last thing you were listening to) and the reverse camera works beautifully as well.

I really hope its not defective but lets see what the seller says, maybe I can get get a replacement unit before I send this one back. I would hate to drive around with a hole in my car dash ! hahaha ... and its too much hassle putting the stock unit back.
[Android Head-Units] sorin129:
Yes I will try your suggestion tomorrow. So your car was not using voltage references for each button right? Did you have to connect 2 wires for your car? which ones?
[Android Head-Units] gpmg762:
My SWC uses resistance, I need 2 wires connected to close the loop (key1 and ground). Here a good reading for SWC with one wire and two wires, http://www.mp3car.com/fb-documentation-and-tutorials/117074-tutorial-steering-wheel-controls.html

I think you will only need to use both key1 and key2 if you have something like this
[Android Head-Units] dipcore:
Hello there,

I'm a developer from 4pda who's developing a new radio app. I did full reverse-engineering of the stock radio app and wrote my own with some cool features. It's still pre-release version, so it's fully functional but may have some bugs. Please PM me you found a bug or a typo.

You can use both stock app and mine, but it's better to replace stock app to avoid conflicts between radio services.

Feature-list:

- All basic functionality similar to the stock radio app

- New app design

- Custom background, three preset images, solid color or any custom image

- Add station - long tap on top bar or menu More -> Add station

- Edit station - long tap on a station cell in the station list (frequency, name and favorite flag)

- Delete any station

- Infinite station list. Auto-scan supports only 36 stations, if you need more add them manually

- Favorite station list. Usually I'm listening to 4-5 stations max, so I just make them favorite and use the FAV list

- You can disable AM band from the app settings. I believe nobody uses it anymore.

- Displays toast notifications with station info, if radio is at background (customizable from settings)

- Two widgets (it needs more testing)

- Radio region is changeable from settings

- You can save and restore station list, useful for those who are traveling alot or working in another city to quickly switch between station lists. It uses JSON which is easy editable by any text editor, if needed

- Custom key codes (Prev/Next, numeric keys)

If you'd be capable of adding a real-working RadioText to your app, I'd pay for it.

The Radiotext system of the existing apk is badly borked, and only displays RadioText over here when either :

1) the maximum line buffer of 64 characters is reached or overrun.

2) the radio text buffer only shows the same static line (like for example the radio station's name)

I really miss this functionality on the existing radio apk : it's there, but somehow the decission to display the content of the radiotext buffer prohibits a correct functioning of this. Break that nut, and I'll gladly pay for your apk.

Honest to God. :angel:

Personal note : while the interface you've designed is clean and "fluffyless", the charactersize that is used to display Freq/Station Name is ..... very small. I've never understood the need for that "analogue dial bar". If it was up to me, that would go immideatly, and the space gained would be used to permit larger lettersizes for the Freq/Station names.

My wife's car has a Renault MediaNav. No radio dial nowhere, and I don't miss it for one bit. It's far cleaner than all those retro-style dials whch are zero in terms of added value or functionality.

Hi guys. I'm a long time owner (over a year and a half now) and was involved in this thread earlier on but due to real life priorities I haven't been able to visit for a few months.

I tried doing a search but I can't seem to find the answer to this question: Has the issue with getting Google Play Music to work been fixed? Whenever I try to play music in this app, it will play 1 or 2 songs at most and then either stop playing with an error message or will continue to play without any audio coming from the speakers unless you rewind to the beginning of the track. I'm hoping to get the most out of my All Access subscription by streaming my playlists over LTE.

Hi,

This problem has also caused to not turn off the car radio.

When I press the power button of the car goes on standby and does not turn off and dumped me the car battery.

How can I resolve to completely switch off the radio? I tried to reset but nothing.

thanks
[Android Head-Units] Taymtaym:
Based on your descriptiuon, I'd guess there's some hardware issue, possibly with wiring. It's as if your head unit is drawing too much power from the car battery. The fact that it does not power down also suggests that.

Just my guess.

One Question to Navigation Software.

Which Offline Software runs also good on this device?

Now I'm running Sygic, but the algorithm for route calculation is not really good.

Normally I like Navigon very much, but I read often, that it doesn't run. Only v5.1.0 should run good.

Has anybody the original apk in that version (or maybe 1-2 versions before)?

I am still having issues with Google Play Music... It will often start playing a song then after 20 seconds skip to the next then after 20 second skip to the next. etc...
