Yes, you can (and should) use the .zip files to flash from recovery once you are on xdAuto.

There is no fix within the ROM for your issue. You probably need to setup tasker or llama to autostart the bluetooth app if that's where you usually start streaming from.

The reason is simple. an App has to register itself as accepting media controls. At fist boot, no media app has run and registered for control of those buttons. Once you open the BT app, it's registering itself as a media app, and voila, buttons work :)
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Awesome. Thank you. :good:

That's weird because my old "dumb" head unit would connect to my phone and I could press the play button and it would launch play music on my phone and track buttons would work immediately.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'd really like for you to separate the BT phone and BT Music into two separate apps. Them being on the same package royally screws with my music intent button.

I use primarily Radio or Poweramp for music. I've just now started using the BT phone app some, and everytime I go into the phone, music button now thinks the BT app is the primary music app. This is because it the most recent app in the stack that is a registered MUSIC app. If we separate them into two packages, that problem will go away.

I also want some feedback from everyone on the Media in status bar. After my first test drive, I feel like I will need to tweak this a little bit. I tried to be fancy and put the album art in the status bar as well. This turns out to be pretty small, and probably not worth the effort. In addition, having that art throws off the centering a bit. If I dump the art, the text will be centered in the status bar. I'm also thinking I need to try and increase the font size of the metadata a bit.

One last note about the metadata. If you play some music, then switch to Radio, the last song stays in the status bar. This is because the radio app doesn't publish metadata. My plan is to make the Radio app publish the Station name as artist/album data (and maybe radio text one day!), but until I get that done, you'll see the last song played.

You're going to hate me after having drilled those holes in your dash like that, but now that I've fixed the MCU volume/Android volume issue, a Fusion Volume control would look awesome there :)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
You read my mind. Over the next few days I'm going to be working on splitting it up.

The current plan is a brand new Bluetooth music app, separate from Bluetooth phone.

I also plan on moving the Handsfree Bluetooth settings page into the settings app like your media and nav bar settings.

The two Bluetooth apps will still have to share a service, but will operate separately. Not much we can do about that since we need them to talk to the same Bluetooth handsfree device via the same connection.

Not sure how long it will take, i've got a few things on over the next few days.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Not sure I'm familiar with those. A momentary normally open knob was an option, but I found these buttons on amazon for $8 a piece and decided to use them because they're lighted. The knob would've taken much more modification to illuminate and I couldn't find a knob cover I liked for it. The nice thing is it's all plasti dip and abs plastic, so modification to change it later isn't too big of a deal. ;) I would like to know more of these fusion controllers though....

Is there a way to code the music one to launch on boot in the background? That would be awesome

cool :good: poweramp has a similar notification of song change in status bar working out of the box... Too bad the dev wasnt very cooperative :( Seems like I'll switch to apollo

I really hope these firmware works on 5261, I'm waiting for my HU :D It should, same hw, also,russian people on other forum are using it, on 40 mcu (so, also mcu should be the same)

Not 100% sure about canbus part... I'll make a backup of everything before flashing but I suspect the canbus part is onboard of HU, not in android and we will only need the config app.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I can't use it with my car so I don't know how it works, but there are certainly Android apps in the source code for showing Air Conditioning and open doors.
[Android Head-Units] runemail:
Yes XDAuto works fine with this unit. You will need to reprogram all buttons and swc on first install though.

You can disable mute when reverse in settings. I prefer to have ac info pop up, and I don't mind the open door popups. No way to disable those in settings, so I guess you have to dig into the code.

In MCU settings you can set the sleep time to zero and the android box will shut down completely every time.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
That is pretty awesome

Agreed on separating the BT phone and music, it's messing with me as well.

I was about to say that the art is a bit too much.

Now with all these interface changes I may need to update my custom home screen.

Speaking of putting settings inside of Android settings, it would have been nice if Newsmy put the key input and MCU settings there as well instead of being separate apps.
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
Not sure If other people have the same issue. I can't open the MCU settings anymore with this beta version. It just said Update Settings not responding...

Poweramp Toast:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660662&page=147

Nice App instead of showing media info in statusbar. Works only for poweramp
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Someone hasn't been paying attention to this thread :) I fixed the Poweramp intent issue. Download my PowerampHelper app from the repo and install it. It's only job is to hook into the MUSIC_APP Category and launch Poweramp. I wrote a similar one for Torque to work with the Automotive button.

and the metadata in the status bar works with all media players that utilize the RemoteControllerClient protocol (which most should). I used Apollo in the video as that's all I have installed on my test/dev box. In my car, I use Poweramp and it works just fine.

I haven't tried it yet. Will test later today.

There are a couple of even better variations:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domloge.mpopup (Free) - Music Popup Widget

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reactivstudios.android.nextsong.pro (Paid - Free version also avail) - Next Song

Both of these work on the same RemoteControllerClient protocol that my code does (in fact, they were the inspiration). The reason I wanted this info in the status bar, though was that the popups, while great, naturally disappear after a few seconds. They also tended to block certain Nav instructions in Waze. By putting the metadata into the statusbar, the the song info is always there.

For those interested in such an app, but want to have more control over the design/layout, Take a look at this github source (https://github.com/DrBreen/RemoteControllerExample). This is where the majority of the code for my statusbar hack came from. But this is basically a ready to compile app which also does the popup thing :)

ooops sorry I read 500+ page straightway :silly: Will try as soon as I have the unit

What about che canbus app? Do you have something similar in regular NU3001?
[Android Head-Units] Allan.Michaelsen:
I have the NU-5002-H-H0 unit. My question is this: Will the software from this thread work on my unit? As far as I can see it's mainly the display that differs or?

I can see my forum search was a total fail, after searching again I found all the times my unit has been mentioned. I guess I have some reading up to do here. :)

Is current MCU version v41 now?

I am installing my NU5261 this week and have v40 ready to go on the memory card.....not sure what the stock version is at the moment as not fired it up yet!

What are we all using for the initial back up of stock? CWM, Titanium, etc.?

Going to start by changing to Tuatara's first before choosing which then to go for....
[Android Head-Units] runemail:
#6 looks interesting. Hope it fixes my no audio after standby problem!
[Android Head-Units] guap:
just to summarize flashing from stock to xdauto, this is what I understood after reading the whole thread

the correct steps should be:

get root

backup stock recovery.img via adb

flash twrp/cwm

backup whole rom (just in case... I'm speaking about my 5261 with canbus part)

then to install xdauto:

flash back stock recovery (to let tuatara manage partitions thru stok recovery)

flash tuatara

flash xdauto

please correct me if I'm wrong... It's a bit tricky
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
No need for stock recovery.

Flash tuatara. Boot and let it sit a few minutes. That way tuataras script will finish flashing cwm recovery. Then reboot recovery and flash xdauto ROM.

Personally, I flashed twrp, then xdauto. Just cuz I'm a twrp user over cwm. But not needed
[Android Head-Units] guap:
mmm I don't think so, I need first to backup the whole rom and extract the canbus setup app with titanium, hoping to get it work on xdauto. How can I backup the stock rom without flashing cwm or twrp? Via Rktool?

Sure I'll flash twrp once all is set up
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm not aware of any differences in CANbus setup between devices. If you want to backup your initial load, I encourage you to do so, but All of the releases we've seen are generic amongst devices. I will also tell you that the MCU settings app (and the underlying code itself) has different CANbus modules to deal with each vehicle. But it's all handled either by manual selection in the setup app, or by a listener device that tries to figure out what kind of CANbus it's connected to.

Note that the CAN interface in these devices is fairly generic, and then they write code for each model to handle specific messages. But again, it's all handled within the ROM, no external apps or device specific releases.

All that to say this:

1) Backup the device at your discretion

2) Use RKBatchTool to Flash Tuatara and let it boot.

3) Use RKBatchtool to flash xdAuto.img file.

Further upgrades to xdAuto can be done via TWRP (flashing the .zip rather than the .img)

Step 2 MIGHT be unnecessary, but I'm not 100% positive we've gotten the partition resizing working with TWRP yet.
[Android Head-Units] guap:
many thanks for clarification :) I had no knowledge about the presence of canbus app on ALL devices (shame on me, didn't check cable schematics on wiki)

any suggestion on alternative methods for backup instead of flashing twrp/cwm before swithing to tuatara?

Hi guys,

I have bought the version which is for VW only. I installed it in Skoda octavia 2. It seems working fine but when i switch to reverse it starts the rear view camera. However I do not have such camera and I want to disable this function...

Do you have any idea how and is it possible?

I searched through the settings but I could not find anything....

Thanks in advance!
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
In the Update settings app

Find the setting called "Whether astern mute" and uncheck it.

Is this setting translated in the xdAuto ROM yet?
[Android Head-Units] Duck Dodgers:
Which wires have you connected on the back of the head unit? I'm assuming that you have the NU5261 model?

I will be fitting mine into the vRS this week. I do have a reversing camera that I will also be fitting (using wireless transmitter) and will try and get some pics before/after. I am waiting on new fascia/trim for the centre console as a different one is needed....
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You'll probably need to disconnect the reverse wire from the harness. Don't think there is a setting to disable it currently (we could probably add one though ... it's not a bad idea). But it might take some time to implement. We have a lot more good ideas than we have coders :)

Speaking of good ideas. I know at some point someone was keeping a list of manufacturer requests on the wiki. Now that we are making some good progress on xdAuto, anyone care to set up a list of these ideas. That way they won't get lost & forgotten amongst the mass of posts this thread has.

I have the NU5261, and just jumped from original fw to xdauto 1.1.6C today via ROCKCHIP BatchTool v1.7.1.1 and have updated to MCU 40 also, everything went smooth.

Do any of you know, how to assign the soft buttons at the buttom? there is one for navi, and it opens Google maps. And one for some torgue app, but that wont Work :/

Other than that, XDAuto rocks the NU5261 :P

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Hi :)

Update to Xdauto 1.1.6C it has a setting to turn that feature off, nice and simple, the NU5261 gets the info from the canbus :)
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
There is a setting to disable it in the MCU config. In the factory tool it's "AV-IN" and in xdAuto it's labelled 'Switch to Rear Camera when in Reverse'.

I'm glad that Newsmy added this because it wouldn't be possible to do on the android box, that switching happens on the HU. Which isn't a bad thing, since you can have the reverse camera come on before the android box has fully booted.
[Android Head-Units] guap:

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
shows how little I play with the settings app :) I knew there was a Mute switch for reverse, didn't know there was a on/off switch for the whole camera

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

You can turn on/off the soft buttons (there are also a few other functions besides the intent/app based ones) in Settings -> navbar. There are also xdAuto specific settings in Settings -> Statusbar.

Note that the Torque app button will launch any apps that register themselves as CAR_MODE apps. Torque doesn't do this, but I wrote a helper app (its the Torquehelper app in the xdAuto repo) that will make this work (assuming you have Torque installed, just download my torquehelper app and install - same is true for the POweramp helper and the music button).

If you don't have Torque, or don't need that particular button, just turn it off in the settings. You can build the Navbar anyway you want (or turn it off by setting Immersive mode).

I think Newsmy should just start using our GIT and creating pull requests. XDAuto is already better than the stock ROM. They could install it at the factory.

Very Happy w/NU3001

To anyone sitting on the fence, I must say how totally happy I am with this unit thus far. I agree with an early poster that pointed out you have to be a bit of a gadget fan, but if you are on here reading this, you most likely are.

My journey began when I purchased my first vehicle in a dozen years that did not have factory Nav. It is a 2009 Ford F150. It had everything else I wanted, and I figured I could just buy an OEM one from EBay for $600 or so. Well, that turned out to be more like $1800 or so, and then it was not even a real stock one...had buttons whereas the stock did not. So I then strongly considered teh Pioneer 8100 or Kenwood 992, but all I read about those were complaints. Even so, I decided upon the Kenwood, and as I started to push the button for the, GULP, $1200 purchase, I hesitated and decided to make the EBay rounds one more time. I am a huge fan of android, and the mirroring capability was part of what attracted me to the Kenwood/Pioneer. When I found this unit, with a quad core processor, I was intrigued. I searched a bit more and found this forum (well versed in XDA dating back to my PPC 6700). I liked what I read, and I could order one and have it in hand in 3 days from a reseller in Washington.

It is not perfect, to be sure. It has it's bumps and warts, but for me, the beautiful thing is that we (ok, you gurus, not me) are the ones fixing those things. I could never have gotten that from the triple the price Kenwood I almost bought. It is installed in my Ford, looks fabulous, and does 95% of what I wanted it to very well. As a full fledged android unit, it can do so many things I had not even considered. And finally, there is a wealth of energy and enthusiasm out there to tinker and fix the last 5%. I am runing the latest xdAuto and it is awesome.

Thank you to the community, and to the open mindedness of the company in China who are willing to be on the cutting edge of a technology and marketing trend that is revolutionizing business. Make a product, and then work along with the customers to make it stronger and better....

Bravo!

[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
I see a lot of people are using the Logitech C270 for their dashcam/OK Google mic of choice. Is this the best in their range of webcams that works with the unit? Or should their other cams supply the same functionality. I'd like to find the camera with the best picture that still supports OK Google. Also, is the supplied 3.5mm hands free mic any good, or are there better options? The reason I ask is I'm going to be custom molding a housing for both and would like the best I can get right away as upgrading at a later date is not feasible. Thanks

Bonus question: why are there composite video ins if the unit supports USB cams? As I understand, they're straight to the head unit and not usable by the android box, no? I can't think of a usable reason to need to go into the app drawer and switch to one of those video feeds. Someone have a use case scenario for such a thing?

Getting prepared for my arrival of my NU5002S and been looking at the tech I already have. One intriguing item I have is a micro USB combined GPS and TMC antenna, I use this on a laptop with Navigator 14 to get offline traffic when out of wifi or mobile range. Been looking around but even the multi platform Navi programs with offline map options do not use TMC either from an internal FM or from a USB antenna in the Android versions I can find. Does anyone know of one.

Lots of mobile signal deadspots around me so it would be good to have.
