Hmm, thanks i will look into it. BTW factory reset on this device do not works in current firmware.

root@android:/ # cat init.rc | grep recov
# This may have been created by the recovery system with odd permissions
chown system cache /cache/recovery
chmod 0770 /cache/recovery
service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
root@android:/ # ls -l /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh: No such file or directory
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
The factory reset can be facilitated through the settings app. It is usually found in; Settings > Backup & Reset > Personal Data: Factory data reset. I think you're referring to script that installs the boot recovery menu.

Mic question

Quick question: What about the MIC, is it internal or external? If it has one, have you actually tried it yet to determine call quality?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] nE0sIghT:
Moving applications to SD card not works (even for apps that shows as "can be moved") because it is emulated.

Swapping internal/external SD will not help as i understand it

I think this thread about same problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2396368

Or maybe i do not understand something?

Internal. Did not test it. Will test soon
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Stupid question but wont getting that new 4.2 rom on Feb 15 work as a way to be a factory reset if we really do get it? Like, if we never figure out how to do a factory reset can we just re install that firmware and have it do a system wipe? Also, did the spec sheet lie? Mine says that it comes with 8 gb internal memory, I find it hard to believe that the system data would take up 6 gb of memory.
[Android Head-Units] nE0sIghT:
I thought about it. We will see on 15 feb -)

They're talking about about a different app, Link2SD, which performs bind mounts from /mnt/sdcard. I'm referring to a completely different program which has the ability to manually select the partitions and swap mount points.

[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Well, it depends on how they implement the update. On android there are four major partitions; boot, system, data, and recovery.

Boot handles loading kernel and the root ramdisk.

System is the actual operating system "ROM" which is a partition that is normally mounted as read-only and encapsulates all the files below the /system directory.

Data is the partition that contains all the files under /data directory and where your contacts, messages, settings and apps that you have installed go. Wiping this partition essentially performs a factory reset on your device, restoring it to the way it was when you first booted it.

Recovery is an alternate to boot and is responsible for maintenance.

If their update contains a replacement for data then obviously it will wipeout the content and you will need to set up all your preferences etc.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Doesn't it offer you the option to wipe cache and dalvik when we install the new rom?

There isn't a standard way that roms are released?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
It depends on the manufacturer.

Nope. It depends on the manufacturer. Android has a loose set of standards which is why it is so heavily fragmented and device support and operability are so different.

Another russian guy received this unit yesterday. He already installed it in car and reported that wheel controls works well. To assign wheel key you need hold key while in Steering Wheel controls app and assign it a number and function.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Are they talking about this HU over at 4PDA? Is that how you know about the other guy? If so I would post a link to the thread? You would be amazed with all of the stuff I have learned there with the help of Google translate.
[Android Head-Units] nE0sIghT:
No, it's kia rio community forum: http://kiario4.ru/t4490-143/

At 4pda there is nothing interest about this unit now: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=529031
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
So, how are you guys all powering your units outside of the car? I don't have a spare PSU and I don't have the funds to buy an I power supply that is especially made for this kind of stuff. I was told that my old power brick For my laptop would probably be to high voltage. Is there anyways to rig up something with an old cell phone charger? Whats the cheapest way to rig up a power supply for this thing?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
If you can't afford something like this Diablotek DA Series PSDA350 350W ATX12V Power Supply ($10) then there is no helping you.
[Android Head-Units] saidak:
I see that a person (post #1575) was able to attached a hub onto the HU and attached several USB sticks and they all work at the same time! This could be handy.
[Android Head-Units] saidak:
and here is the how to ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8if3T1v8x4
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Might be nicer to link to the post Post #1575 of the Russian Kia Rio thread. Besides using a hub on a car head unit isn't exactly new. The trick is to use a self-powered hub to not overdraw the Universal Serial Bus because that can cause instability problems. Especially, if you're considering on using something like a portable hard drive for all your media.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

That's a horrible video btw. You should never jumble the power lines like that. Something I would do to simulate a key ignition is to get a switch for the 12VDC RED (ACC) for the car radio, like a Philmore 30-9851 Inline Rocker Switch. That way you can simulate disconnecting the car battery with the PSU's switch and the ignition key with the rocker. The other thing that video didn't show (or if it did, I didn't have the patience to watch it all the way through) is to short the Green (Power on) with a Black (Ground) from the AT(X) connector so that power is actually distributed through its cables. And if you don't want to cut the PSU's cables then grab a Molex Y-Cable. That way, you can cut the wires on a $2 cable instead of the computer's power supply which is perfectly reusable.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Had no idea they sell these PSU s for so cheap. I just dropped $150 for a replacement one on my gaming PC! Thanks for enlightening me.

Thanks for the video.This helped alot! Did you just use a paperclip or something to make the jumper that he talks about at the end?

Good advice about the molex, it would be a shame to destroy the PSU if I don't have too. I'm sure I've got a Y laying around here somewhere. Also I will of course use common sense and I always take YouTube videos with a grain of thought. Also I have a toddler running around so I could never make a setup that was THAT unsafe.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
That's exactly what I used.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Oh, now, now... Of course there is...

Computers are so considered "disposable" you can find crap loads of people with some taking up space in their garage, or companies with basement rooms full of them and looking at having to pay to dispose of them because they're not the easiest thing to recycle. I guarantee you just asking around you can get as many as you'll ever need.
[Android Head-Units] Orisai:
You wouldn't want to use a $10 PSU on a gaming rig lol

Link2sd app partially fix this issue for me.

I repartitioned my removable sdcard: added primary ext2 partition. Then started Link2sd and link all user apps to this ext2 partition (it copies .apk, cache and libs to ext2 sdcard partition and creates symlinks at original /data locations).

Also i'm enable auto linking to SD card for all newly installed apps.

Remaining problem is Download manager cache. I just symlinking it to same ext2 sdcard partition and this gone too.

Now i'm able to install a lot more applications
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Glad my suggestion of Link2SD was actually useful also I am surprised to see that that program is still being updated. So cant you just delete that cache whenever the download files get to be too big? I find it hard to believe that any apk. is going to take up that entire 2 gb by itself.
[Android Head-Units] nE0sIghT:
Really, almost any file is "too big". There is only 293MB for all apps, its data, dalvik-cache and download manager cache in stock, not 2GB.

"Internal" virtual SD card (that is just 1st partition of eMMC) can not be used for apps - only for it's custom data and only if app support writing custom data to "non /data" partition.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Does this program seem like a fix for the current problem? I don't really understand the problem, I'm sure i will once I finally get my unit in hand. But if you tell me its safe, and walk me through it, once I get my unit ill give it a shot.

Is their any chance that the 4.2 update might fix this problem?

P.S. I got that PSU last night, thanks for the link.
[Android Head-Units] mikemol:
By the way, I asked several sellers to do a video review or just a video of a working unit that is a universal unit that will fit most of us as most of us are not owners of Kia Rio and got a reply from one of them that they will do a video for me after the Chinese new year. This is the kind of unit I asked them for: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...g-4-core-1-7GHz-2G-RAM/312054_1484240190.html

Should be pretty much the same except for the absence of DVD player.

Once I get a link from them I will share it here.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
That's the exact unit that I got for $480 plus free shipping and a 32 GB SD card thrown in for free, haggle with these guys and you might get a really good deal like I did. My seller told me that the earliest that he can ship it to me is the 20th because of the Chinese New Years and he took my money like 2 weeks ago, its kinda annoying but I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought the thing. Also, could you ask your seller about ODB2 functionality, I asked my seller before and said he would check but I don't feel like bugging him about it because I think I've already pissed him off with all of the questions I've asked him.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I wouldn't worry about ODB2 functionality. At the very least you can use an USB to ODB2 cable with Torque Pro like all the other Generic Android Headunits.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
[MENTION=5702785]nE0sIghT[/MENTION] would you try to ask your seller if they can provide a copy of the rom update "for safekeep" or perhaps an update?

I'm really curious to know how this unit's firmware updates are packaged..
[Android Head-Units] nE0sIghT:
Already asked him a week ago. Waiting for answer - there was China spring festival
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Maybe create a tar ball of the system partition (directory) for us in the mean time. If you have busybox and a terminal app installed, "tar -cvpzf /mnt/sdcard/system.gz /system" will create it for you. I'd like to examine the current Android ROM.

[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
So, I read that keeping your OSB2 Bluetooth adapter will slowly drain the battery of your car if you dont drive it for a day or two but what about the OSB2 USB cords? Do they slowly kill your battery too?
[Android Head-Units] jonalowe:
I keep a Bluetooth OBD adapter plugged in all the time. Draws very little power when inactive. Car has sat for a week or so without an issue.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
There are actually a few factors that can lead up to a ODB2 Bluetooth adapter for slowly draining the battery of your car. Sure, a Bluetooth ODB2 adapter is powered solely by the ODB2 connector which remains power on regardless if the key is in the car or not. However, having a fully drained in a day or two could be due a malfunctioning BT adapter or a combination of problems.

For example, if you don't drive often enough the electrolyte solution in your car battery begins to separate. As this acid stratification continues, the lighter acids will rise to the top while corroding the separation plates and the heavy acids will have to work harder trying having to compensate. If you combine this condition with a Bluetooth ODB2 device that has zero power saving features then you can definitely decrease the life of the battery and being more susceptible to a full drain in a short period of time.

A USB ODB2 cable can also do the same thing; however, some adapters can be powered by the head unit's Universal Serial Bus as opposed to vehicle's ODB2 connector. This prevents a live circuit on the ODB2 port from draining the battery while it is not being charged. Some cables have a sleep mode which drastically reduces the amount of power being drained while not in use. However, not all ODB2 USB cables or ODB2 BT adapters have a power saving feature.

If you're looking for quality ODB2 adapters that will reduce the chances of draining your car then maybe look at the Scantools.net website. They offer some of the best diagnostic scantools for the ProSumers. And they offer adapters for either USB, BT or WiFi connectivity, and of their products have some form of battery saving function.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
:) actually I wrote that just before chriss.r.r's redisign tutorial which is now in a wiki (sub)page of it's own.

Similar work had been done before for the OUKU in this thread. It was a much simpler color change to match their red interior light and complimented by a nice detailed LED swap too.

Sorry I can't find the posts that refer to that atm but you get the idea....

The point is, without sources and without reverse engineering the I2C communication with the MCU there is very little more than heastetic changes we can do to those apps since the logics are handled by the MCU
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
So if I get the USB ODB2 adapter from that site will there be no pull from my battery when I don't drive my car or will there still be a little drain but this is just my best option? If there is still a little drain than how long till it drains the battery do you guess? The reason I ask is that because my car get such horrible gas mileage we normally drive my wife's car whenever our schedules will allow, because of this my car can go up to a week or two without being driven. We have had problems in the past with just leaving a car charger in the cigarette lighter and that killing my car (the only thing I can even see that it would be powering is the led light on the charger) because for some reason when my car turns off it still sends power to the cigarette lighter outlets. Anyways this has made me super paranoid about battery drain.

P.S. I've noticed on screen shot on here that the Bluetooth seems to be accessible through the Android settings. Is this another case of just good integration and the MCU chip still controls Bluetooth or does this unit have Android controlling the Bluetooth like it should? This has been asked before but there was no definitive answer.
