i found it in our forum, you think that can be works? ( would be awesome )
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
This is of no use to the XDAUTO project. The latest compatible apps for Android 4.4 are all available via the play store. The same apps available for KK, LP, MM, are all updated for their compatibility with the version of Android.

None of the apps in the forum you posted are exclusive to LP. Certain features may/may not be available with a lower version of Android.... but again, none of the apps mentioned have not been updated for KK.

There is absolutely no benefit to trying to run these apps. The playstore automatically updates to the current version for sdk 21. Google Launcher is available via playstore, and again, is the current version compatible with sdk 21. Same for Google Now, and Google Keyboard.

If you try to flash that zip, you'd be flashing incompatible versions from 2014 instead of simply downloading through the playstore and having the most current version.

There is no difference in features for any of the apps mentioned between sdk 21 (KitKat, our rom) and sdk 22 (Lollipop, not our rom)

I mean this with a great deal of concern. If you are confused about what I have said and/or unfamiliar with the terms "sdk", and do not know why this is not useful.... you should read about some things I have mentioned and make yourself more educated about Android prior to flashing things to your rooted device/s.

Google search the terms I have used for more information. Google is your friend.

Good luck
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
I would only say that for example, android auto app, require android 5+, so KitKat is keep out.

( I say android auto because stand alone version, i mean version that doesn't require a compatibile radio, run as well only into your phone )

So installed it in our Newsmy i'll be great, so need a way to do that, if is possible.

I hope to be clear.

Thanks for reply and for Reading ;)

Android Auto requires API not found in a KitKat rom. You can simply sideboard the AA .apk if you want to try to test it. However, it most likely will not work without running on a ROM that is Android 5.0+

The framework of the XDAUTO rom will not support.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
What's so intreaging about Android auto?

It locks you out of your phone and none of the video media applications work.

I fail to see the benefit over these units.

Hi to all,

I want to inform that Newsmy has released the V59 version of the MCU. This time I prefer not to attach it because when I put the V57 many have complained that there was not a changelog, and that the new version had created them many problems.

Those interested can look on the internet as "CarPAD-II-P_mcu_v59.zip"
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Perhaps you can provide a link? Google search of "CarPAD-II-P_mcu_v59.zip" does not return any results.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
i mean android auto stand alone, ( future version ), not android auto like now that require your phone connected via usb to the radio.

So installed only the app in the radio and have this interface, and maybe get a way for notification mirroring to reply whatsapp, telegram or sms from your phone via bluetooth.

Anyway android auto require lollipop+ and we are stuck at 4.4.4, maybe with the rom based on 6.0.1 CM that a dev show some days ago.

For now i leave behind it.

Root carpad

Hello

Can you explain me how to root nu3001 with xdauto1.1.6e

I have installed this version with rkbatchtool but root cheker says that the carpad is not rooted.

Bye
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
You probably "touched" the image which removed the root. This happened to me in the past when I tried to change the boot logo. If you install it unaltered it should be pre-rooted.
[Android Head-Units] jipite:
OK i have changed dpi

[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
If anyone in the US That uses AT&T or Cricket wants a usb dongle that works with this units I have tested 2 that do and work.

Both are Huawei: E182E and E1756/E1756C. When connected the radio recognizes them and brings up the antenna meter in the notification bar. ONly downside is that it says you are roaming when you are not. Not a biggie though and I get almost the same HSPA speeds as I do on my LG V10. So If my phone gets 4mbps the unit will get 3mbps. That's more than enough for me as you can watch youtube videos and skype with anything over 1mbps. Not to mention you could use the built in mobile hotspot which might come in handy.

I tried a couple of LTE modems but they were not recognized by the unit. maybe if support could be added for say a Huawei E397Bu-501 it might work. Might need something in the kernel or rom to recognize the LTE one though. If the bands are the same for tmobile you can probably use one of these as well. You just have to check your bands.

My Carpad is fault and I can not try the new MCU, I'm waiting to be repaired from Newsmy.

You want to be the first to try the MCU for all ??
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:

[Android Head-Units] amritpal2489:
Can you send me the link too please??
[Android Head-Units] apollo1976:
Of course, but then you leave a comment on the new MCU ??Unfortunately i have the Carpad under repair and I can not do the tests.

I asked to twokidsandaphone if left a comment but disappeared. before publishing the download link I wanted to confirm that the MCU works well. The other time many have complained, and I want to avoid that.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The reason people complained is that we don't know where these are coming from. If you can find the source of these, it could possibly be another source for code leaks. There has not been an MCU release on any of the known Newsmy Baidu accounts. That doesn't mean they aren't official, it more likely means someone else has taken over that role at Newsmy/Bonovo and we just don't yet know where they host their files.

On the outside chance that someone not from Newsmy/Bonovo has made these, then we are INTENSELY curious as to how it was done.

So, to sum this up, it's not that anyone is mad about you posting MCU files. We just want to know where they are coming from to see if it helps us with any other code issues.

You can look at the change logs and see that Newsmy isn't doing a thing with this device. If there is any hope for it to grow and improve, it has to be done by the community.

Thanks for your feedback, it is very important.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Does anyone have an Android Box for the NU series that they don't need/want? I have a headunit that works, but both my Android boxes are dead.

I have been working on a DIY project, but that one is going to take a while to mature. While I hadn't really planned on working on the NU/NR series much, I have one friend that has one of my other NU5002s, and I just ordered a NR5002 for another friend. I'm also talking with Newsmy about the Carpad 4 tests, so it might be nice to keep my foot in the door code wise. And thus, having a unit to dev/test on.
[Android Head-Units] ulledrengen:
Does anyone know if this headunit is available to purchase anyone? Or are there a new version of it?
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Zaphod, did you make the cut? I just heard from Summer that samples have all been sent out so I know I did not. Curious about your impression (or anyone's) once you receive the 4, unless you agreed to an NDA or similar.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Thanks.

So much for her getting back to me. Guess there were others who didn't question having to pay for samples and giving positive reviews.

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, I have one coming. Got me at a perfect time. My DIY project is taking longer than I wanted, both my android boxes are dead, and I need a radio. Figured I was going to pay for a head unit anyway ...

I didn't promise positive reviews though. I think everyone here knows I speak my mind :) I did have to pay for the device up front, and supposedly I get the money back after giving them certain video reviews/feedback, etc. If being honest about it means I don't get my money back, then so be it.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've no doubt about your honesty :)

I was mainly annoyed I didn't get the chance, Summers last email told me she'd get back to me and never did.

Oh well, I'll stick with this crappy little MTCD unit i've got for now and maybe look at an Ownice C500 or something later on.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
I personally vouched for you by email to Summer, urging her to make sure you got one.

You think you might be able to back port things like RDS and things to xdauto romantic for the older units?
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:

[Android Head-Units] sterod:
No, I didnt get (or apply) for one, I only suggested to Summer to make sure Zaphod got one.

[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I have a NU3001 with the 2GB Android box I am not using.. I sent you a PM regarding it
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I have no expectation of source code access to this new unit. I would be pleasantly surprised if Newsmy (Or any other Taiwanese manufacture) suddenly embraced the open source culture, but I think its just too radically opposed to the culture of that area. Little respect for IP, cutthroat manufacturing processes, small margins, etc. All of these things create an environment where the manufacture isn't going to give up any conceived advantage (no matter how bad that software might be!)

RDS in the NU/NR series is at its heart an MCU issue. We have enough of the Radio code (and to give Newsmy *SOME* credit, they did actually voluntarily give us the most recent Radio app code in trying to fix this) to make this work at the UI level. The current MCU code doesn't pass the RDS data properly and I couldn't figure out how to get anything more than the call letters of the current station with their implementation.

They where unwilling to release the MCU code to me. I was also having to do all communications through Summer (who, as nice as she is, isn't an engineer or programmer), and throw on a huge language barrier, and I gave up :)

I think had we been successful in implementing that, it could have gone a long way to convincing Newsmy of the value of open source, but it just wasn't to be.

Hello Together,

[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
I received the terms of a sample device from Summer, but I was not comfortable with the price of the unit up front and not even knowing the current status of the product they've got...

As their culture has previously been referenced, I was actually pretty surprised at what Summer "offered", but also that she/they were willing to consider my referenced previous works as sufficient. I am no noob and I presented myself well as a good candidate for testing thoroughly and providing honest feedback. From the position of a knowledgeable Android enthusiast who has done testing and low level debugging for projects on several devices. And 1 mention of a college degree. Guess my resume was sufficient or rather "good enough". Or that I was very enthusiastic at the opportunity. But, I had hoped they would have wanted to give away samples to better qualified candidates at the off chance they were being picky, and considering revealing source code along with the sample devices.

I kindly declined, and referenced 2 major contributors to the git. Previous efforts should have brought about the most confidence from Newsmy, in the ways they were willing to approach this as beneficial to their end product.

I hope they follow through on reimbursement. But also, those that foot the bill and get their units at a good discount or free, be so kind as to continue your efforts in the Android community ????

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately I'm not an android developer so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I got a NU3001 on ebay for pretty cheap and have it all installed in my vehicle. Works great except bluetooth doesn't connect with my iphone 6. It says RK3188 device not supported and will not connect.

The build number is AD3188_KK4.4.2_CARPAD_1.1.3

I figured an update may fix the problem. I have a laptop and a M2M USB cable. Can't seem to get my laptop to recognize the android box whatsoever when I plug it in. (I used Driver Asisstant 4.1.1).

Any advice?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi all,

I´ve been searching for a solution for DAB+ in my car for quite a while now and finally found something that´s not crap. (DVB-T dongles etc)

The answer is an actual DAB+ dongle, made for DAB. These have become more and more popular as their getting cheaper and cheaper. There are currently 2 varieties out there that people are using. The first is Joyings own dab module. They claim it only works on their car stereo modules, but that´s not true. The same goes for the other variant, which seems to be a lot easier to get a hold of. These modules are sold as "DAB+","XTRONS" and some non branded.

Most of the sellers claim it only works for their unit, but as long as you got an OTG port, it will work. (Yes it has to be an OTG, mine did not work with the HDD-USB) They also say that their product is to be used with android 5, but I´ve used mine with out unit on 4.4.4 without problems. So it´s safe to say the dongle and DAB+ app is backward compatible to at least 4.4.4

So if anyone wants DAB+ in their car, get one of these dongles! Their performance are a lot better that the DVB-T and RTL driver (my old setup)! The app is also much better than Wavezink! haha

Link to joying DAB:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Joy..._6&btsid=10c53a95-7188-477f-88a3-797905d750f3

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/And..._6&btsid=10c53a95-7188-477f-88a3-797905d750f3

Also, If anyone of you got the setup and time, could you please help me to create a helper app for the DAB+ player app? It´s a pain to not use my steering wheel controls!

It would be greatly appreciated, as I don´t have the setup to create one, nor the skills :(

side question --- Would this helper app make the headunit display the metadata on top? Like it does when you using a music player?

DAB+ app player for dongle attatched
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
All of you Non-USA people that have this device, PowerAmp unlocker is on sale for some of you for $.10

Apparently it's limited to the following countries: U.K., Australia, Italy, France, Russia, Germany, and Spain

Grab it. Best audio player out there for this H/U.

Just an FYI type of post.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The helper apps (in relation to xdAuto) would have no bearing on steering wheel controls or metadata info. If the app isn't set up to use media keys or push media metadata, then nothing short of modifying the app will make that happen).

The helper apps were only to make the music button be able to launch an app that didn't register itself as a music app (or nav app, etc)
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Its important to note that this module does NOT work with the DAB Bands that are used in North America.
[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
How would you check that an app uses media intents? Or even if it is an music app? I would imagine(hope) that the app uses media intents, but can´t be sure. That´s why I asked for a helper app, so that it would be registered as a media app. Also, if an app is not registered as a media app, but is (like poweramp), then the default forward, backward and pause keys would not work right?

Thanks buddy, completely spaced out the facts that NA has a different frequencies that Europe.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Correct. If the app registers as a listener for media keys, then it would automatically handle play/pause/next etc. If it doesn't, then you either get the app developer to code it in properly or resort to some kind of tasker wizardry to simulate screen presses. Note that simulating screen presses would only work when the app has focus.

Hi e.sjolund,

thanks for sharing your experience, are really very important news.

I have tried the DENSIONO DAB + U for the DAB on Carpad but did not go well ...

With Dension the waiting time when changing channels is really long !!!

I have two questions about the Joying DAB:

1) I understand well that you can not use the steering wheel controls with the app of DAB by Joying ??

2) with the app of Joying you can create a list of favorite channels ??

Thanks for your great help !!
[Android Head-Units] wayfactory:
Thanks for sharing this info, but I've tried to install the radio dab app you attached and fails during installation. I'm using xdauto latest version of firmware.

Does anybody else have tried with xdauto?
[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
Strange... Stupid question, but you did remember to extract the app from the zipped folder?

Try to download if here:

(Taken from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcb-hardware-development/adding-dab-functionality-t3208344/page10)

I would rather not use tasker to simulate screen presses, although I might just have to...

Do you know a way to check if the app is using media keys? Or should I just try to get a helper app and see if it works?

The app uses a couple a second to switch channel, but not too bad.

# 1) Yes and no. We might be available to use SWC if the app uses media intents. Then we just need a helper app show android that is a media player. But I can´t make the app, so can´t try it, so NO at the moment :(

# 2) Not with app that I posted. There are a second app out there where you can, but I could not get it to install, maybe not compatible with kitkat 4.4.4?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You don't need a helper app for this. All the Helper App would do is launch the app when the Music Button (on xdAuto Navbar) is pressed. That's it.

Just run the app and try the keys (either from SWC mapped to Next/Previous/Play/Stop) or from xdAuto Navbar keys for those functions. If it works, it works. If it doesn't ... It's an App problem.
