Where to buy a RK 3188 SOC

I was looking to upgrade my chip but can't seem to find any info to purchase it, i seen a post way back that a guy did it when replacing his screen.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ced60:
Hello,

I wonder if there is a kernel compatible with Car Stereo Radio Head Unit GS.

I want to know how to install it.

thank you in advance
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] lawson7086:
I had a problem downloading the western europe map to my Eonon as it said it was to large and it simply refused to see the SD card, that is until i found the folder in which tomtom installs the map into, which is (Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp) so i downloaded foldermount and used it to "mount" and emulate the (com.tomtom.gplay.navapp) folder onto my 32gig SD card and job done, downloaded the whole of Europe, east and west with ease and plenty of space left!

Yes i rebooted and everything but i never did see a SuperUser menu in my settings page, so i downloaded a pre-rooted image and loaded it on and jobs a good'un :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] almdoki:
hello, in the new version, get a new icon in the status bar to turn off the screen and can remove
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] :
BTW Tomtom....

i installed it without mod on internal SD but after some starts it wont start anymore and crashes. I wrote the support already but you know... rooted device is every time the problem :)). Do anyone know how to fix it, or is my HU defective (Memory)? Because Sygic crashing too / loose maps after some starts (at latest if the device was turned off and on via Car Key).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
The max current rating for usb 2.0 is 500ma. Seems to be working fine, assuming you typo'd and didn't actually mean 500A.

All of the android kernels are the same across the headunits, aside from processor differences (rk3066 vs rk3188). So there are no GS-specific kernels.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] lawson7086:
Yes i love it thanks and with 2 (class 10) 32gig SD cards installed using foldermount i effectively have 64gig of storage, with no hassle or editing files, just mount any internal storage folders and emulate them onto your SD card in a couple of minutes and install all you want, i have been using foldermount on my Samsung S4 for over year now doing the exact same thing emulating tomtom's map folder onto my Samgungs S4 SD card and its never let me down, so yeah ill keep that thanks, its called hassle free :p
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] lawson7086:
The folders mount in like 5 seconds after boot who needs it to be faster than that?, Furthermore its a completely hassle free folder emulating and mounting tool that very reliable and used without any editing and or problems like the guy above is having, so to me it's surly has to be the way forward, i would recommend it to anyone as the simple reliable and perfect solution especially for emulating Tomtom map folder onto a fast SD card :good:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] :
Folder Mount was nice but i agree, too late in process. Sygic crashes because it has autostart options and when the cards are not available ... :) And i had the problem that i saw all double. i had pictures or videos on SD and linked to internal SD pictures and movies... and i saw all doubled because programms looking in both locations. After that i removed all and doesn´t bind anything. :)

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Is there a testing app like scandisc under windows ?! I recognized that tomtom will be alive for more than 5 starts if i don´t change any setting in it. Strange.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] lawson7086:
All i can say is that i am a truck driver and i have been using foldermount for over a year on my Samsung S4 doing the exact same thing, emulating tomtom's map folder onto my Samsungs S4 SD card, and i use Tomtom every single day for up to 15 hours a day and foldermount has never let me down, tomtom has worked flawlessly mounting the map folder, its mounted about 5 seconds after boot and has never crashed!, i can only speak from experience and experience has shown me that as a truck driver that relies on Tomtom working flawlessly every single day foldermount has been for me the perfect solution :D
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
They seem pretty clued up from looking at the updates - with KGL, RM, Klyde and GS versions, dont think Google translate is that good for Russian, pity cos I m sure we could learn stuff from that thread and they could learn stuff from this one.

I ve got it on my Android tv box, just never use it as its easier to use the media player on the box, not knocking it though, think you could get it to run on these devices, just as I said I think the screen maybe too small to see writing.

I am going to try next week, I already ordered external mic. I won't cut wires, just unplug wires from mic...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Not sure it's that easy. When I took the faceplate off my Huifei, it appeared the internal mic was either surface mount or through-hole.

I am going to open it tomorrow, to see how the mic is connected, and let you know.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] sickbro80:
Google translate worked OK for me. I skimmed through 20 or so pages. Funny thing, there's quite a few people referencing this thread too.

If anyone opens up their unit to play with the mic please take some pictures. I want to see inside, but I also want it to continue to work after.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Oh, also. Anyone have any ideas on Bluetooth tethering. I'm not sure if that's a hardware or software requirement, but it would be nice since I'm connecting Bluetooth anyways to not have to also WiFi tether. Just a thought.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Looks like a variant of the AN21-U to me, assuming theyve had an update to android 4.2.1, the units on this thread are all 4.2.2.

ok thanks. I will keep looking for a cheaper 4.2.2 box then
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I took some not so great pics when I had mine apart to check for miniUSB. Seems they just left the connector off the board, so I might just add one.

In the last pic, it appears the mic actually is wired through the board and soldered to the backside pads, so clipping or unsoldering one of the wires shouldn't be too hard.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
if its any help, posts #1180 and #1181 have some pics of a Klyde unit dismantled agentdr8
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Thanks. Took a look and the Klyde pcb layout is a bit different than the KGL. It appears the mic is still soldered to the backside of the right side board, so modification should be the same regardless of model.

More information about this unit: I saw a youtube movie from somebody who installed a Witson 422 system. I paused the movie for software information and the version is: MTCB-KLD-V1.86 23 june 2014
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dcmouser:
I have a HuiFei KGL unit with 1.77 firmware.

The front page of this thread describes the 1.86 fimware update simply as follows: "v1.86 includes bluetooth menu and fixes wifi issues for some people."

Is that really all there is too it? If so I won't bother installing the upgraded firmware. Are there are fixes and features associated with 1.86 or is it really just that?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Cool :)

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Right, that proves theyre re-sellers then, selling Klyde versions :good:

Can you post a link to the movie ?

This one ? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0v_lXyDxwI&hd=1
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] sickbro80:
I'm not 100% sure,but I think it also fixes a lot of WiFi/Bluetooth connections dropping. Other than that, in not sure.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
They added the Bluetooth settings screen into android Settings. Supposedly includes some microphone fixes, but that's unconfirmed. Wifi connection tends to drop on 1.86 when a certain amount of data is passed through, so some have been running the 1.77 kernel with the 1.86 system image. Also, in the EQ settings, the labels for Bass and Treble are reversed.

There may be changes to the MCU firmware too. I know some have had issues with their button mappings going awry after flashing 1.86.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dcmouser:
A giant thank you to the person who made the CarAudioService tool!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Blaze Falconburger:
Am I correct in thinking an upgrade will wipe the unit?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jrgalang:
Hmmm... I guess my expectation was wrong then. I was expecting a buck down converter that will convert 12v to 5v 3.1A and soldering it to the USB VCC leads will ramp up the ampere rating. I was hoping I can already use the ports to charge my phone that can take in 2A to charge real fast. So even with the buck down converter connected to the leads the max that I can expect really is still 0.5A?

Step 2) Xposed Installer > Modules > Check Malaysk Statusbar Mods or something > Restart device

Step 3) Malaysk app > Uncheck Power button

Hi guys,

is there any wayto give top priority to viper4android? A memory managemente app maybe?

Typical situation: BT and (my phone hotspot) WI-FI on with Poweramp on screen showing the song cover and viper4android sometimes stops and re-starts, sometimes only stops and I had to re-start it manually.

I'm on the latest Malaysk for RK3066 800x480: it didn't happen when I was on latest Coudu.

Another workaurond should be to disable the most of the app at the system start.

Thanks in advance for your hints.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
It stops when Poweramp plays ? Or when HU is comming from sleep for a short period ? Also, try to install the latest Viper4Android from http://www.mediafire.com/download/cnqqdme51qy9ft4/ViPER4Android_FX_v2340.zip.

Does anyone know if any of the suppliers can provide these headunits with RK3188 quad core cpu and Android being mirrored to RCA video out, not only DVD playback which seems to be the case on most of these headunits?

My old AN-21 U mirrored Android so it was possible to play movies from USB in the backseat for the kids, or they could see what's on Spotify, Waze, whatever etc. This is what I want.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Hmmm.

I'm using the same ROM as you as well (Malaysk RK3066 800x480) and I don't seem to have this problem myself.

In Viper's settings, what does the "Driver Status" screen tell you?

If you have Xposed installed, there is a module named "App Settings" that allows you to keep an app in memory. I've never tried it myself so I don't know if it'll help.

Try NOT running Torque on startup - I am wondering if that is taking up a lot of resources and making Android close other things.

Soz for the delay in replying - been soo busy lately. The product in my signature was for a DVB-T card, not DAB, I ve changed it now, see below.

As I said in the quote you replied to, for the DAB unit Klyde said modifications were needed to the board (I assume they mean the main motherboard), so you cant retro fit the Klyde DAB box.

I tried the DAB on my older Klyde unit and it didnt work, I also tried my older Klyde front on a unit with DAB and that didnt work either, so maybe they meant the board that the SoM sits in, but that one is different on the DAB models . . . unless of course someone else has got a DAB unit or has anymore knowledge about the DAB units and posted it since your reply - I ll find out as I catch up with the thread - its been over a month, so I ve got loads of reading ahead !!

I don't know about these custom ROMs, but on the stock ROM, there is a setting in the build.prop that you can either enable or disable. On my hot audio unit it was:

Set that to false if you don't want it. I actually enabled it because it's a handy feature at night. But then again the stock ROM isn't cluttered with all that crap in the status bar. Hopefully that helps.
