[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadowmyst87:
So this is something that I would really like to do but have put it off for a few reasons.

I decided that a Nexus 7 car install is the best option for having Android in the car. At first I considered buying an App Radio 3 and using AR Unchained to just mirror my phone on the head unit. But after learning that Pioneer's AR3 head units are less then stellar I decided to abandon that option. Besides, who wants to connect their phone to their stereo everytime they get in the car?

Next I considered buying one of those Chinese made head units with Android 4.2 but for some reason they don't seem to make any that fit my car. Not to mention that after seeing some pretty decent reviews of them on this forum I still feel leery about buying one.

So that leaves me with the only option of installing a tablet in my car.

Right now everything in my car is completely stock. I figured the best way to connect the tablet to my car's speakers is through the replacement of the factory stereo through an aftermarket one, possibly the Pioneer DEH-80PRS which I'm currently considering.

This poses a few problems, the current stereo is a double din so I have the space to work with. However I would have relocate the aftermarket stereo somewhere else. Either behind the tablet like some others have done or in the glove box, something I really don't want to do.

But by doing this I would lose access to the physical volume control on the head unit, I'm trying to figure a way around this but I haven't come to any reasonable conclusions as of yet. I do have steering wheel controls so this is an option, however it doesn't really help much when you have a passenger that want's to control the volume.

Next is the sound quality, I was really hoping that I could plug the Nexus 7 in the head unit through the USB port and have audio transfer that way like with an iPod. But from what I've researched online it seems that this is not possible? Atleast not without a custom ROM anyways, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Next issue is power, I've heard alot of problems keeping the tablet charged in the car. Is there a way to keep it charged even while using it?

If I opt for a DAC that plugs into the Nexus 7 either through USB or the headphone jack, how will I keep the DAC powered?

Thanks

I've thought this over and over with the plethora of android devices that hang around my house. The best way I think, is to buy a midrange amp with 4chans and run a splitter from the 1/8inch jack.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mediumsteak:
Keep in mind that physically installing the tablet in the car without an option for removal will most likely expose it to extreme heat and cold which is highly detrimental to the battery health!

Throwing out bad batteries is terribly damaging to then environment in the case you would like to get a new device also.

Please consider having a stand/deck/clamp that allows you to remove it when you leave the car with you; as this will prolong the life of the battery and keep toxic garbage out of landfills!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] -=Jeff=-:
Which version Nexus 7? 2012 or 2013, TIMUR's Rom seems to be the one everyone is using for a fixed install. I am in process of doing a fixed installation for a 2012 Nexus 7 in my weekend fun car, I am using Timurs Rom, I have a Direct HD Tuner and an app a guy on Rootzwiki made for it, I am using a Behringer UCA202 USB DAC to handle the audio.

I too have the Volume control challenge and I don't have the steering wheel controls, the other piece is with the HDTuner, the audio bypasses the Nexus for the tuner so I needed some sort of adjustment. I am still working it out, but many opt for the Clarion EQS746, and I have seen several other brands that seem to be the same..

I am curious how you plan to handle all the integrated info on your radio (Trip, Oil Life, etc) I know that is a stopping poitn for me on my 2007 Malibu MAXX SS, not sure how I duplicate that info and I think if I took the radio out completely I would have other issues
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadowmyst87:
I'm planning on buying the 2013 version. Timur's rom isn't available for the 2nd gen Nexus 7 yet.

I'm not worried about losing the driver information center in the Malibu. If I really wanted to keep it I could buy a metra double din dash kit that includes the driver information center module but I don't feel like spending $240.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadowmyst87:
I don't really live in an area that has wild temperature swings. My car's windows are already tinted and I use a shade on the front windshield so I'm not too worried about it.

I'm more worried about thievery, making it removable especially in a 2006 Malibu would require some sort of modification to the bezel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flyboy1100:
I'm doing a removable install in my 2012 impreza.

2013 LTE model

Timurs fi kernel + services (awesome and worth the 43.00, free in may iirc)

Uca202 usb dac

Amp will be alpine ktp445u (fosgate pbr 300x4 would be awesome too but I already have the alpine)

Joycon exr for steering wheel controls.

No need for aftermarket deck, unless you want fm (I haven't listened to fm in 10+ years)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadowmyst87:
I wasn't aware that Timur's rom was available for the 2013 Nexus 7 yet, I thought it wasn't going to be available til May?

The aftermarket head unit makes it's easier to integrate into my car's audio system without having to buy a whole lot of extras. The car has 104k miles, I'm not sure I wan't to do alot of modding to it at this point.

Plus, the head unit would serve it's purpose when I have passengers that wan't to connect their phone/mp3 player to listen to their own music. You can't do that with a tablet, atleast not that I know of...correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd also have bluetooth hands free calling with the head unit, not that I'd ever use it anyways.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flyboy1100:
I have factory hands free and I only use it occasionally (and I drive a stick!) I may get a parrot kit or similar, but undecided so far. The uca202 has an additional input that could be used for it. You can pick up the dac and amp for about 150 on Amazon and not have to worry about stashing it somewhere.

I can't argue your points about passengers, I usually just music we all like anyway.

Timurs kernel is up and running, there is a thread in general I believe. You have to pay now, 35euros with WiFi Mac (kernel linked to that device only) or 50euros w/o mac.

I was using it on the WiFi version, but returned it because Verizon had the lte on sale last weekend for 49.99! I contacted timur and he changed it up for me from wifi to lte within hours!. Been a few updates so far and he sends out emails with notification and a change log.

I think it was worth the 43.00 I spent for it, allows me to test everything, and get most of my stuff figured out.

I'm just stuck on a mount that would look good, I don't want to hack up my dash, because in 2 years I will probably update to something newer. I bought a cheap snap on case, but it fits too well!

All together I have spent only about 230 including the tablet. (I had the amp installed already)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadowmyst87:
$230? That's all you spent?! Perhaps maybe I'm over thinking this, that $49 you spent for the Nexus 7 LTE, obviously that was a two year contract right?

The reason why I'm thinking of buying just WiFi version is because I have a GSIII with a grandfathered unlimited data plan back from 2010 when Verizon was still offering unlimited data. My idea was to just tether that to the tablet considering that it's unlimited anyways. What solution did you use to keep your tablet powered while in use? It seems like that's the biggest PITA from what I've read.

Would you mind taking some pictures of your install if it's not any trouble?

Thank

This is what my dash looks like to give everyone an idea of what I'm dealing with,

I'm trying to figure out what I can do to mount the tablet infront of the bezel rather then behind it because it's too much of a hassle to take that bezel off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flyboy1100:
I can post pics, it will probably be a few weeks though, I'm waiting on some warranty service behind the climate controls so I don't want to install only to have the dealer screw it up.

67 shipped w/tax for nx7 on contract. (If you have unlimited probably should get wifi only)

42 joycon exr

30 for usb dac

30 in cables

15 for power supply (100w converter)

5 for hard plastic case from China

12.50 for hdpe to build a box behind for storage

43 timurs kernel

10 gnd loop isolator

10 for a amp turn on delay

Plus a few more small things i can't remember.

In comparison I was going to get an appradio3, but that was almost 600 after everything i would have needed, plus the mirroring was flaky even with official adapters for my note 2

Timurs kernel + otg charge cable + power supply = charging nx7 + usb peripherals

I plan to build a box the same size the factory radio, put a spacer between it and the hard plastic case and I will just snap the tablet into it, plug in the cable and go. Timurs kernel lets you hotplug audio devices so no rebooting required.

Search for subaru nexus 7 install, there is one where they built an acrylic case, mounted a case to it and clipped in nx7. I plan to do the same, only the case will be on the outside so I can easily remove it.

5.1 surround sound setup

I'm doing similar in a 04 f150 .. Instead of my headphone jack I'm using the HDMI audio. Have a HDMI audio extractor, that has digital audio outs , I'm running the fiberoptic audio to a small surround sound decoder, 5.1 surround, the decoder has 6 sets of RCAs I'm running to the amplifiers. I'm using a small Bluetooth keyboard with track pad to control volume and what not.. The hdmi audio extractor has a HDMI out put also so I can add a monitor or a projector for a mobile drive-in experience. Between the tab, the slimport, HDMI audio splitter, surround decoder and keyboard, I have about 320-350 invested. Not bad considering the resolution, the navigation, and everything else you'd spend well over a grand or more with any alpine and not have near the capabilities. And of course I have unlimited data with sprint on my phone so a WiFi hotspot keeps the tablets fed with data

Hi all

I've bought a chinaphone.

At the boot appears the logo TC Innovation but Google Play Store recognize it like Alps i9502+ and, also installing "mobileuncle tools" on the device, it says that is an Alps i9502+.

Here some caracteristics:

Processor ARMv7 Processor rev3

Kernel linux version 3.4.5

OS Brand i9502+

Os Model i9502+

MTK build version ALPS.JB3.MP.V1

MTK platform MT6572

So the problem is that i can't syncronize contacts from my google account...the app "contacts" from google is missing

How can i solve my problem? I can't rewrite each single contact from my old phone!

Suggestion?

Is also possible root this device? Do you need other caracteristcs?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salo-S:
Does anyone have this problem? My Xperia SP, when you looked in a room with lots of light (or in an outdoor environment) it is possible to realize a lot of sand between the touch screen and the LCD panel.

Not to mention my touchscreen, which displays a little "loose" the arc of the phone.

Someone managed to solve it? I've been thinking about dropping my touchscreen without removing your phone (with all care of the world, go through a credit card around the edges to loosen the glue) and then clean the LCD screen and the touchscreen using a soft brush, removing any sand present in that place. Is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance..

I can partially remove the touchscreen without disassembly the phone? Without removing any connector, just to clean the screen.. can i do this?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
You have to completely disassemble the phone to separate the digitaliser and the LCD as with most phones manufacturers tend to start with the screen and build up from there is RMA an option because that's the sort of thing covered by warranty
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenug:
Is really easier? More than disassemble a Xperia Play?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
[MENTION=5339953]zenug[/MENTION] I have never tried the play but from looking at photos I would say the SP is easier. It's not a difficult phone to disassemble nothing like as hard as certain fruit based phones. Just make sure you go slow there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for a new ribbon to arrive because you damaged one. There are videos on youtube of the teardown. One last thing vv important if it is sand or dust in between the LCD and digitaliser use a can of compressed air to blow it away sand will scratch the glass and ruin the LCD. Fingerprints and smears from cloths are almost impossible to remove. Think fitting a screen protector but cleaner, much cleaner. Try and avoid touching or wiping either surface if possible.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salo-S:
Well, I've cleaned the screen using my ninja technique (passing a card around the screen edges to loosen the glue, I used a brush to clean properly) and not to the problem appears again, I used a kind of "glue" to stick the edges and prevent the entry of dust on the screen. I do not think that is a definite "fix", because it is a McGyver technique that should be resolved by Sony.

All - I was toying with the idea of using the autocorrect feature to create short cut txt entries on the fly. Similar to shortcuts on palm os where you enter a sequence of characters and the txt then gets replaced with your defined string. for example I enter ".kk " in a message and it gets replaced by "Knock Knock ". I modified the autocorrect.txt file by adding the entry mentioned earlier but nothing. The other items still work ( (c) gets replaced by the copyright symbol) but my entry does not. So the question is as follows;

Is this the correct file to modify?

If not is there a way to modify the correct file/database to add this feature?

Trust me this is a much faster method of entering quick txt than having to click and select from a list of the "My Text" entries.
