Can I edit in place with root explorer this line (I don't use tomtom) in an attempt to change the here-maps storage location? I not sure about the . that shows in root explorer needs to be there on .here-maps.

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/tomtom" "com.tomtom." /mnt/external_sd*/*/ /mnt/usb_storage*/*/

To:

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/.here-maps" "com.here.app.maps." /mnt/external_sd*/*/ /mnt/usb_storage*/*/

And what code could I add to get daily roads (com.dailyroads.v) to start and restart. In the past it has not come out of delayed shutdown very well. I am hoping your new discoveries on delayed shutdown may correct this.

By the way your ROM is working with no issues. I was the one that had the boot animation hang occasionally on startup, this has been corrected in the last couple of ROMs.

THe reason I'd like to add wifi is because I don't want to drill holes an try to run the wire myself. I would like to be able to just plug in one of the half-dozen wifi adapters I have and have one work.

So, everybody please use it carefully.....

The kernel only has module support for the built-in wifi adapter chipset. Since the kernel source is not available, adding new modules to support additional adapters is not likely to happen.

The dreaded "Google app has stopped working" when trying to use voice search.

Every time I try to use Google App and all of its updates it is never reliable. My fix was to uninstall Google app and use a older version back when it was called "Google Search". Google Search_3.6.16.1614640.arm.apk (can be found on the web). Don't let it get auto updated.

Just wanted to share this for those that have trouble using "OK Google" or have intermittent issues using mic in the keyboard and maps, works well in my case.

nope its has 5v and 1.5m/h so its suppost to be fine and also i can run others usb so i dont really know what the problem
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DJCannonball:
thanx

props for paying for the app. for me Sygic is a 'nice to have' app (along with Here, google maps and Waze)

in my opinion it has the best graffix of all navigation apps.

i did what you did: Xposed IMEI Changer and used the IMEI from my phone

i don't understand that it runs flawless on my phone, but hangs on HU. even with the IMEI trick.

there must be something i'm not doing right.. but what..

i will try to use titatium backup to extract a backup from my phone and restore it on my HU.

Was google now already part of that app? And/or how was it "functionality wise" cmpared to the current google app?

I don't use Google Now, it looks like a launcher. Google (Google App) for me keeps getting stop errors when I use it. If you are getting errors it wont hurt to try the earlier version to see if you like it as you can always update back to what it was.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cocchiararo:
i only get the force close if i say "ok google" or if i press the mic button.

will try it anyway, but i do use google now (not the launcher, the cards )
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] echudoba:
Chances are the cards may not work. Although when I ask for the weather I get a complete weather display and verbal announcement of the weather. I guess it may be a trade off to get voice control. I keep updating it and then down-dating it hoping each new version may be fixed for our hu's.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cocchiararo:
Pages ago a guy said that enabling "google now fix" or something in "secure settings" fixed the issue for him.

No go for me tho T_T

I have a problem. I installed the prerooted rom (name evades me but starts with c) on my microntek/kld/pumpkin unit. Extra settings has dissappeared and I cannot set the power off time on my head unit. I'd like to set it to 10 min as I am in and out of my car a lot. I also tried reinstalling the original settings app that was originally on the head unit, and extra settings appears with more time options than before but no matter what I choose it reverts to 30 seconds. Any help is appreciated

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Sounds like you installed one of coudo's pre-rooted ROMs which, as far as I'm aware (and someone will probably correct me if I'm wrong), does NOT have a setting to change the sleep timer. Can you put up a screenshot of your "About" screen?

Also, what really controls the sleep thing is not the ROM but the MCU. Have you updated to a later MCU? Again, the "About" screen will show this info.

Anyone seen this connector on these radio harnesses? It's the radio end to car harness connection. I was thinking maybe small slide connectors would work. Not really sure what to do with this, its different than the seller pictures. I can't even begin to think of what to search to get a result for this or where I would find a female connection to match up to that.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
That's a generic ISO 10487 connector, found on a lot of European/German/JDM vehicles. You can find ISO to vehicle-specific harnesses on Amazon, Metra, Scosche, etc.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markcm:
Those look like the common ISO connectors used in VW/Audi. You can get the mates on Amazon and eBay for another $10.

Why are you guys repeatedly ignoring me, it's like you don't even see my post. You reply to the most basic stuff anyone asks (which are clearly on the first page), but mine not a single reply for my last 3 or 4 posts for about 40 (probably more) pages. It's not like I've not contributed to this community, for it to be a reason :/
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I don't think anyone is specifically ignoring you or your posts. It could be that no one has the answer(s) you seek. XDA-

developers

isn't a personal tech support forum, even though many people seem to think it is.

As for your request for mtc-keys, that's something that has to be addressed with a dev that isn't even on XDA, so patience is key when having to work through those willing to translate.

Using both XMTC and petrow's Headunit Service can cause problems, as they both contain broadcast receivers for the same intents (in your case, the play/pause intent for Poweramp). Try using one or the other and see if the problem goes away.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mike.s:
Well, aren't you just full of yourself. Malaysk said he was taking a vacation, and exactly who are you to expect him to do something, and then complain when he doesn't? It's people like you who are driving him off.

Why don't you create an account over on 4pda, figure out how to use Google translate, and do it yourself?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kruuth:
I tried searching. IT looks like the chipset is RTL8188, which I think I have floating around...it's a pretty common one around here.

The reason I'm a little leery of opening it and extending the antenna manually is because I don't have a lot of control of my hands after an accident so I rely on other people for this.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markcm:
If your nav unit is anything like my KGL or the others I've seen posted, and if you have anyone to assist you while you can visually supervise, the unit only has a few screws holding the lid on it. It should be pretty straight forward.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] clearchris:
Does that mean you are using an externally powered hub or you are not?

Because if you arent using aan externally powered hub that is often the problem.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kruuth:
That's easier said than done...I need someone that can do that....is there a page that details what I'm looking for in there? I might be able to get someone but I need to be certain that I'm looking at the right thing. What about the antenna? Can I just solder some copper wire to it?

HuiFei - 2 DIN Pure Android 4.2.2/4.4.2/4.4.4 RK3066/RK3188 CarStereo Radio H...

There are lots of image posted in the thread of the internals, and not all models are identical although similar.

On my KGL the wifi antenna was exactly like an internal antenna of a wireless router, a small coaxial cable connected to the board, center conductor to on location and shield to another. The cable was a few inches long and taped to the front of the drivers side inner of the housing. I'd assume a person with soldering ability could connect a lead with SMA connector on the other end and then connect about any type of wifi antenna externally.

SMA leads can be bought on Amazon or eBay for a few dollars or scavenged from an old router.

I suppose a small hole could be drilled and the tiny original antenna just passed through and taped to the outside rather than the inside of the housing as well.

I find my wifi works great.... Until it gets warm, then the bars drop off or I lose connection. I'm planning on adding a small fan at some point.

So yeah ... I bricked my RK3066, and as a quick fix ordered the RK3188 from typos. Is there anyone here that can restore the RK3066 (KLD 800x480) on a bench or something? [emoji4]
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
what is the going rate for the RK3188 now?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] alec.herrmann:
It is supposedly a 'Car Radio Stereo Standard 16 Pin Female ISO'. However I have found only one listing on eBay that seems to be the right female connector and that seller seems to be unwilling or unable to ship to Canada. I am also looking for the female end (since I don't really want to cut or splice into each wire). Perhaps try your local car radio installation shops?

Guys I want to see how much interest there is in upgrading to RK3188 Quad Core as I have direct access to the RK3188 and I might even be able to buy back the RK3066 chips if they are in 100% working condition .

I officially now work with Shenzen Joyous. Hopefully I can help out a bit more.

please PM me how much you would pay for RK3188 so I can see if I can arrange a bulk purchase at better price and pass on the saving

I found one for my car on eBay. I always prefer to go plug and play as possible so since I found out about this connector I'm gonna order it. In the meantime I depinned the connector and ghetto wrapped the wires with tape to verify everything works, so I can put it back on
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gazdaaa:
Calm your nerves, I was on a phone while replying to myself, so I took whole post, as you can see from the post, I was not asking any question with Malaysk part of the post, it was just a statement, and the reason for posting that in the first place is so he can ask all of it in one turn,and not in separate turns (because someone asked him about that), thus saving him time.

If I with this kind of statements am driving him off, then I don't know what to say, sorry perhaps...

He's not on vacation..

Thats a good suggestion, and a better way to contribute than the rest of your reply.

I've tried, but there's a russian captcha, and I can't get past that.

I know this isn't tech support, nor I am asking questions that I should've asked developers of these units.

But I think my questions are more advanced, kind of matter this XDA community can understand and cope with, and I didn't came here whining "my unit doesn't work" with bunch of exclamation marks, just because they flashed wrong ROM or mcu FW, because they didn't read the first page.

I provided all of the info required to someone understand the question, because I know how it s supposed to ask questions here. And I posted this statement because until now no one has said anything to me, like I wasn't here, and you see now you replied three times, success :D

I'm here to give and take help to anyone in this forum, I come in peace.

As I said, I was on a phone while replying to myself, so I took whole post.

That is the helpfull answer I was looking for, because you guys are the creators of the plugins, and you know these things, thank you.

I didn't think XMTC looks for that intents, because there is no option in the gui.

But what baffles me is that no one has had the same problem. XD
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Since this thread is so massive and moves quickly, it's easy to miss or overlook posts on a cursory glance. It usually causes no grief or friction if someone quotes their own post (like you did) and "bumps" it to get it in front of eyes again (probably no often than once every few days though, otherwise it might come across as impatient and/or demanding). But maybe phrase it differently in the future (e.g. "Has anyone else experienced this problem, with this configuration, etc...?", instead of "Am I invisible? Why won't anyone acknowledge my posts?"). There's a saying about catching more flies with honey than vinegar....

What is the benefit of upgrading to quad core? (besides performance - which doesn't seem necessary)

I'd be more interested in screen res upgrade :p
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DiGiTY:
The lack of "always there" playback controls (I don't have factory steering wheel controls or hardware controls on unit) and the tap heavy task of jumping between my core apps are slowing taking away from the overall experience. Are there any apps, widgets, add-ons, etc. out there that'll make this easier?

P.S. - I have a JY with Malaysk's ROM
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DiGiTY:
Rats! I don't. I just have an Android home, Android back and a GPS button. Isn't there something out there that adds a floating tab (that can pull out a drawer or quick apps or playback controls) or maybe floating circle menu?

GPS not working

After changing the amp IC successfully, my GPS stopped working. I tried two active GPS antennas, both are not working. So it must be on the PCB or internal antenna connector. Antenna connector on the backplate has 3,3V and the connection to the PCB is there. The GPS Info app shows mostly only 1 satellite with bad (red) reception no matter how long I wait. Restart button works, so I guess the communication to the GPS chip still works.

Anyone experienced the same? What should I check? S.o. said its a power supply issue in combination with other USB devices attatched. But there are none connected. Just the Huifei HU and GPS antenna.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gangsta101:
Whats the deal with the rear mic input? i thought the Unit had a built in mic, or does one just connect a mic and wire it anywhere we want?

In my opinion, the beauty of an android car stereo would be total voice control using the OK google command. My hope is that it would be possible to use the Google Now Launcher as the default Launcher so one has almost seamless voice control, but that would depend on the mic quality i guess.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] webdude12:
The internal mic works fine and I have the new google now launcher kinda working, but has taken replacing a lot of files by hand and one by one.

The problem is things like the radio, dvd player, etc aren't ignored by the mic, so saying "OK, Google" on those sources really doesn't work United you turn the volume all the way down on the source..

The external mic is just so you can add a better external mic if needed, but on things life n phone calls, etc the internal mic works great
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] shadowmyst87:
Looks like I won't be buying one of these head units. I received an email from them today telling me they had no compatible stereo for my car. Oh well, looks like I'm back to trying to get a Nexus 7 installed in my dash :rolleyes:

Build quality

The thing that will kill this unit is the build quality. I received mine last week and the buttons are so loose they feel broken. Contacted the person I bought it from (Green Point) and they said that is normal.

EPY.

I have a video of this, but I am unable to post the link until I have 10 posts.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

You can see the video at YouTube. Just search for ZdrH6aXTKlI

Turn down the volume! My step mother is doing dishes in the background and the mic picked it up really well.

This looks like the stereo I've been waiting for.

I would like to buy the 1024x800 universal detachable knob version.

Did you ever get a quote for a 10 unit order?

Has anyone found a single unit vendor?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ericpaulyoung:
Yes, Green Point sells single units and the manufacturer will too. However, look at the video of the buttons first, as this would have prevented me from getting one.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] shadowmyst87:
I have a 2006 Chevy Malibu LT.

I just have a double din opening in my car. There's nothing special about it.

I'm still waiting for Green Point to email me back with a compatible head unit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] nwskipro:
Webdude seems to be pretty content with the build quality on his unit. Is it just the knobs that are loose like that? It ALMOST looks like it is just a type of knob that moves like that, almost like a video game controller joystick. Are the knobs loose enough that the normal bumps/vibrations from driving would cause them to move around or would they most likely stay put? How are the other buttons around the screen?

I guess I have a 50-50 chance with mine... will report on build quality when it gets in.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ericpaulyoung:
Webdude, can you do a video like mind to show how much play is in your buttons?

EPY
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] webdude12:
My knobs have a little play, but nothing that is of concern to me. I have seen top name radios with electronic knobs have much worst. The thing to remember about these knobs is they are not turning a potentiometer like the factory radios that have a metal shaft to hold them firm in place. They are rotating on a pad, much like a game controller, so by design they have to have some play in them, or the knob would not turn.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ericpaulyoung:
Do your knobs move as much as mine in the video?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] webdude12:
I would say yours might move a little more then mine. But in use of mine I dont notice it driving down the road and reaching over to turn the volume up or down. Also remember, you can push in on the volume knob acts as pressing the back button in android, holding down the volume knob puts the unit in standby. So there has to be some play here, otherwise the unit would not function.

Now if they were on metal shafts like the factory radio (older radio styles) and had that much play, then I would have a problem. But I can tell you I have a friend that has a brand new Kenwood Radio, that his knob has as much motion as the analog stick on a xbox controller.

Its my guess, that the MCU could be modified on these knobs to give us D-pad control, and while I have no knowledge of that directly, the design and style of them reassembles things that I have seen that functionality in.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gangsta101:
I see ur point about the Knobs. Why the heck do they protrude outside so much anyways?

well these are touchscreen based units and the steering wheel buttons are there, so those knobs can be overlooked after a while.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ericpaulyoung:
The thing that bugged me is that the buttons on my OEM radio that is in the video are also multi function that rotate and push in, yet they are much more solid. I tried something last night, and cut the buttons down to half their height and they are more solid now but still more than OEM. Next I may glue a very thin plastic liner into the pockets that the buttons sit in, so that the buttons slide up and down along the walls like a guide.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] nwskipro:
I'll help. Your video shows the OEM unit side by side with the new one and gave me a better idea of the difference in shine between the two - but that's just through a youtube video. Looking at it in person, how different is the new unit in terms of shine/texture?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ericpaulyoung:
Definitely different. The new unit is glossy texture and the OEM is rubberized. There is a clone that someone over in Audizine posted about that looks like a good match, but this one you can tell it is a different finish.
