Can you replace two unneccessary AM bands with two additional FM bands in the Radio APK?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tainted:
Going a little mad here. On my second android unit. Must say this one is by far the best with capacitive screen, Android 4.2.x etc..

But still disables radio once you engage reverse. Someone earlier in the thread said they cut a wire but surely there is a simple non intrusive fix/patch for this?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance for all your hard work and countless sleep just to help all of us.

I'm not sure if anyone had 2002 Honda Accord EX V6 4-door. If so, to have SWC work with aftermarket harness, all you need to do is add a male pin/wire next to the ACC slot of the aftermarket. Then use that wire to tie to Android Unit harness wire. No need to buy PAC adapter.

The SWC on a factory harness is call Radio Remote Switch output. It's on slot #3 and # 11 (Green with Red wire) of factory harness.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
It is an FM/AM radio chip, so the AM bands or not "unnecessary" there are a prerequisite for an "FM/AM radio chip" - you cant have an FM/AM radio chip without AM !!

The chip is set up for FM and AM, I very much doubt you can add bands, this is likely to be a hardware thing, they are modding the layout and look of the display, they cannot add or remove hardware features.

TOMTOM maps

Hi All,

I can't be the only person who went ahead and bought the TOMTOM app based on the fact it works with our HU's, and also the brand name trusted GPS TOMTOM? 21 bucks for a brand named GPS service in the truck was more than worth it. HOWEVER.....

Every time I want to flash a new ROM image, I am forced to re install TOMTOM, This is no big deal. However, then I am forced to re-download 2.7 GIG of map data before TOMTOM will even start up. This is a huge issue, as it takes 1-2 hours on WIFI to do this job, and that was when my HU was sitting 10 feet from the router. Now it is installed in the truck, in the garage, and the WIFI signal is a little bit less 4 out of 5 bars. I need to leave my truck key on, and put a battery charger on the battery, to get this job done. what a PITA!

Also, I paid for a legal copy of this software, bought it through the play store with my Google account, and every once in a while, tomtom will complain that the license from the play store is invalid? I am thinking this is because I am not connected to the internet, so it cannot validate my copy of tomtom? This is a second big issue, as I bought this tomtom software specifically so I would be able to download the map (ONCE!) and not have to reconnect to the internet every time I want to use it.

There has to be a better way? The first time I installed tomtom and downloaded the map, it placed the folder on my GPS SD card. I have a copy of the folder, but the new install of TOMTOM will not recognize it, and still insist to re-re-download the map. Plus it is not putting it on my GPS card anymore?

Is there any way to speed up the re-install of TOMTOM?

Is there anyway to stop it from re-validating my license?

Thanks in advance for any help!

This morning I had a long 2hour drive. Befor I startet I exchange the PPP versions against your last update from yesterday.

GOOD Message : IT WORKS! The connection come back all time after the signal was lost!!!!

BUT: it doesn't connect to the internet!! Only the signal is avaliable???

I filled out the APN, User, password. All correct.

There was no difference between with "mobile network settings" and without.

Thanks for your amazing work on this problem, maybe you find the reason for the Internet connection?!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] stevenmirabito:
Just as a preface, I don't actually own one of these units (yet! :fingers-crossed:).

In general, any Android mapping app will download the maps to the internal storage/SD card. If you can pull the maps off the device and store them locally (on a flash drive or another SD card for example) you should be able to just copy them back after reinstalling. Look through the folders on the internal storage/SD card and see if you can find the TomTom data folder - most likely a subfolder in "Android" or "data". Also, yes, TomTom is complaining because it can't connect to the Internet to verify your license. Unfortunately, I don't know a way around that other than installing a pirated copy which will have that check removed (for obvious reasons), which, in this case, would be morally OK IMO since you did buy the app.

Hope this helps!

Can you remove my name from the french translation ;) please put my nick on xda ;)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pakidermo5000:
It is a well-known issue that the latests versions of TOMTOM store maps in the internalSD and do not recognize those installed on other SDCards.

There is info about that on the first post of this thread, together with many other info that can be of use to anyone, apps, firmware, how-to's... etc.

You can search the thread too.

Follow dsa8310's links, there´s the solution there.

To sum up:

Optiona A (not the most convenient, no root needed): If you do not want to reinstall tomtom at every flash you need to save the contents of your internalSD (in this case, your maps are probably in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.tomtom.* )

save that folder to your external SD, and after the flash copy it to Android/data again.

Option B (the best, root needed): The solution is to trick tomtom and link the internalSD/Android/data/com.tomtom.* to your external SD card. You store your files in the external SD card (where they are safe, and where they will not be wiped at every flash). When linking, both folders will be virtually the same, so tomtom will look at internalSD/Android/data/com.tomtom.* but find the linked folder.

To do that, you need to use install-recovery.sh (see dsa8310´s posts, or check on the OP how to do it). (keep in mind that after every flash, you will have to copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc again)

[MENTION=5135188]koimr[/MENTION] sorry for delay, I was not on here over the weekend. I have the same problem as you - I don't have a maps folder, I assume this is because the software hasn't yet reached the stage where it's created. I have replied to Sygic telling them this and I'm now waiting for a response. They seem quite slow with responding.

My JY HU isn't rooted, it using the standard software/firmware: MTCB-JY-V2.16 and Android 4.4.4 so don't think this exclusively a Coudu ROM problem.

The best option for me and I recommend you is to use Titanium Backup to make a backup before install and then a restore after install.

After you make the backup you can copy to SD card your titanium backup folder and restore after installing firmware and titanium backup.

That's I used to restore all my apps after I update my cell with a new firmware.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] swanie2000:
I did try Titanium Backup pro full paid version. I made a backup of all things, and especially TOMTOM. I figured I was good to go, so I loaded the latest Coudu's ROM, and then tried to restore TOMTOM. The backup didn't take as long as you would expect to move 2.6G of data around, so I was not to optimistic that the RESTORE part was actually going to work. Sure enough, the backup was able to restore the app & my settings(data) but it did nothing to remember where the MAP DATA was. As soon as I started TOMTOM, it demanded I download the 2.6G MAP again.

I am going to learn about the install-recovery.sh file, and give that idea my attention. It seems to have other benefits, so fixing TOMTOM and improving startup times in one step will be a good time invested on my part. I am hoping all I need to do is save my custom install-recovery.sh file on my GPS card, and just copy it back, every time I flash a new rom since the TOMTOM files are already on the SD card.

Have you got a link to the powered hub youre using DSA ?

Before I changed to a USB stick, my 320Gb HD with 2 USB leads (one for extra power) worked fine plugged into both rear USB ports, so I wonder if a non-powered USB hub with a Y lead plugged into both rear USB ports would also work ?

Incidentally, my Klyde sometimes plays songs from USB stick fine, without the sound cutting in and out, although mostly it doesnt, its strange that its not all the time that it does it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
For those looking for a hardwired approach, I use something like this DC-DC 12V-to-5V 3A converter, wired into the switched 12V to power my USB 2.0 4-port hub. There's also versions that have female USB ports, for hubs that draw power from an additional port instead of a wall wart.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I meant plugging a non powered hub into one of the rear ports and a lead from the other into the same hub to give extra power, is that what you thought I meant ?

My USB flash drive will NOT work in ANY of the USB ports 90% of the time, it does work occasionally, though, strangely, especially as AFAIK it doesnt actually need any power.

I do have one like that that is non powered, thanks for the link, I ll see if I can get one with cheaper postage.

TOMTOM still wants to download the map!

Except when a firmware that includes the modified install-recovery.sh script is used!

See post #7848, last line.

OK, I found the install-recovery.sh file in post#7848.

Copied it to my GPS card along with my com.tom.tom.usa2gb folder

Put it back in the HU

Moved install-recovery.sh to the SYSTEM/ETC folder

Pasted it right on top of the old install-recovery.sh file

Verified permissions and owners (root root)

Exited out of everything, and rebooted the HU.

after reboot, I tried TOMTOM again, and it still wants me to download the map?

What did I do wrong?

Is the install-recovery.sh file in post 7848 an empty file? Do I need to figure out how to edit it with something?

Or are the tomtom commands already written in the file?

I have zero skills at unix/linux/android scripting commands. I have been DOS/windows based forever.

What would be the easiest, windows like, editor I should hut for?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] swanie2000:
Ok, answered two of my own questions. I found Notbook++ will open the install-recovery.sh file.

I can see the tomtom commands are already in the file.

So it must be something I didn't do correctly when I moved the file to the system etc folder?

Also, I copied the tomtom directory from the GPS SD card to the internal SD card. Then when you start TOMTOM, it says there is not enough room to download the maps.

Any ideas?

You are almost there, 2 things:

1- WHich super user are you using? If KingRoot (the one that is already installed on the rom) do not worry, if it is SuperSU (chainfire) then you need some mods.

2- The key for it to work is here:

#####################################################################

### lsd syntax: ###

### First argument is the target (internal) folder. ###

### Second argument is a list of source (external) storage paths. ###

### If any com.tomtom.* folder is found in any source path, ###

### it will be (bind) mounted under the target folder. ###

#####################################################################

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

By default dsa8310 is mounting the external folders on /mnt/internal_sd/tomtom. In my case, it did not work. Because my TomTom is looking for the maps on /mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/com.tomtom.europe

Try substituting this line

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

by

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/" "/mnt/external_sd/* "

I am pretty sure it will work.
