Perhaps any "eco" mode which saves phone battery?

Otherwise, tries a different way to shut all off:

try to replace:

3. If not near bt hu then turn off Hotspot

4. If not near bt hu then turn off bt

Let me know?? I did not pay for Tasker, so I can't try... I tried ATOOMA and onX but no one works!! I just wanted to programm my phone exactly as yours! NO WAY...

If anybody reaches to do that with an alternative (free) taskerlike... let me know?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Chrisstreme is correct, use near BT rather than connected. Unless there is an active profile/connection being used (Handsfree, A2DP, etc), then the connection tends to get dropped. You are probably getting caught up in a cycle of when tasker checks these things, etc.

I use a similar tasker profile on my phone to just check for when the BT HU is near, turn on hotspot. When not near, turn off hotspot. Works like a charm.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I don't know if we CAN repurpose those buttons. Depending on what your adapter is looking/listening for. Remember, the adapter takes the GMLan signal and produces the resistive ladder. The HU only sees what the Adapter puts out. I would suspect the adapter never looks at the buttons your talking about since they aren't media related. Might try it though :)

Yesterday I tried to update Tuatara's rom to 1.1.4.3. Unfortunately it gives me an error "Invalid argument".

Does anybody have an idea how to update the Tuatara ROM's via SD card without wiping everything?

Thanks!!!

not possible at the moment.

Finally I found the apk "smartconnect" installed on my phone... a simple link from playstore was proposed after looking for Tasker, then Trigger... Playstore indicated me that "smartconnect" was already installed!

Really easy to use, and works immediatly!

So when I start my engine, my carpad II starts also the my phone detect it and activate both bluetooth and wifitethering... perfect!

When I leave my car, carpad shut down then my phone cut all communications (BT & wifitethering)... less manipulations for me, more battery for my phone: NICE!

Hi all,

Badly need some advice here not too long ago I got my unit installed at a garage everything well except for SW connectors. According to the chaps that installed the device they informed me that the device connector and the car CAN BUS connectors are different basically not compatible infact it's different to the connector shown at the wiki page.

So I emailed the seller attaching photos with an arrow pointed at the device connector to illustrate my point after a number of exchanged mail with the seller he finally told me to fly over to China (imagine that!) and they'll show me how's done. I believe it's pointless to extract any answers from them. I am hoping someone here could help me solve this problem.

I have attached 3 pics a wiki pic of the swc connector, the incompatible device connector, and my car can bus connector.
[Android Head-Units] HFLDEV:

bluetooth conflict!

Mayday!

I was running the original music player and tried to give or receive a call by Bluetooth... no sound! but music still playing...

With PowerAmp, all were running nice but the music did not came back alone, I had to push play again.

With Rocket launcher, i did not test, but it doesn't support Viper4Android,So...

What could I do?

Is there a fix for BT conflicts? Or Is there any other music player compatible with V4A AND Bluetooth?

Thanx!
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Wow, been away for a while because of work and came back and this thread is even stronger with more dev supports.

Knock on wood but the unit is still going strong with daily youtubing and wazing.

Cannot wait until I have more time to try tau new rom.

I'm trying to mount /mnt/internal_sd/Android/data to the external SD card (/mnt/external_sd/Android/data)

I'm using Tuatara's ROM and an init.d script to do this, but it doesn't work.

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "==started mount script==" > /data/local/tmp/init.d_log.txt
#start the volume manager
#vold
#mount the external sd card, its not there at boot time
#mount -t vfat -o umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1015 /dev/block/vold/179\:33 /mnt/external_sd 2>&1 >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log.txt
#mount the Android directory of external_sd to internal_sd
mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd/Android/data/ /mnt/sdcard/Android/data 2>&1 >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log.txt
echo "==done mount script==" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log.txt

As you can see, I even tried to mount the external sd via this script but that doesn't help.

All I see in /data/local/tmp/init.d_log.txt is the "started" and "done" lines and the folder is not mounted.

If I run the mount command via adb after boot, the folder is mounted correctly.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

I will agree with you... This is the best radio I have had in my car. Yesterday I had the ISS satellite app notify me that it was above and sent an APRS packet by radio. Using a DVB-T tuner for HF decoding Morse code on 40 meter band.

Using the video input with my ICOM 7000 radio.

I'm having a lot of fun with this unit.

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
My guess would be that it has to do with the timing of the initialization of the emmc controller. [MENTION=260727]Tuatara[/MENTION] Had mentioned to me in PM some things regarding the block devices not being available at boot. I went back into my PM's and I've since lost it (crap!). My guess is if you either reference your mounts by EMMC path, rather than block, you might be OK.

Other than that, I'd talk to Tuatara, this is one of those areas that I know just enough to be dangerous :)

I have been watching this thread for a couple of months now and just took delivery of my NU3001 from Newsmy. I am in the process now of getting things organized to install it in a 2001 Cadillac DHS with a Bose head unit. I am using Metra brackets and wiring harness adapters.

At the moment I am trying to figure out what updates I will use with my unit as there seems to be a few different options out there. For storage I will probably use a 1/2TB USB drive and keep the flash card slot open. For additional USB ports, I will be installing a rigged USB hub with a ignition sense timer built in.

I do have a question....is there a way to setup the headunit so that other devices can stream from it (from the storage drive)?

If anyone has any suggestions or comments regarding the ROM/software updates, please let me know.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I too know just enough to be dangerous. I have some knowledge of Linux in general but nothing specific in Android. Maybe Tuatara has an idea.

In the mean-time, I'll have to figure out what the emmc path to the sdcard is.

I'm having trouble unpacking the Tuatara ROMs with the FactoryToolV4.4.

I'm using VMWare on Mac, and I got it to unpack wine when I was using Win XP on virtualbox. I had issues with this combo connecting to the device so I switched over to Win 7 (64 bit) on VMWare and can connect got it to connect okay. However now when I run FactoryToolV4.4 to try and unpack the ROMs it fails (after a fair amount of processing).

I really want to unpack so I can replace the dreadful boot logo! Anyone got any ideas?

Failing that, I have rooted the device, is there any way I can change the bootlogo directly on the install (not bootanimation).
[Android Head-Units] ChrisG_AU:
Hi Guys, newbie based in Australia here. Purchased this based on the info here and after initial installation issues, has been up and running in my 2008 WRX for a month or so. Sorry for the long post but hoping to get stuck in and assist/learn where I can.

Not overly technical myself but have the support of a friend is who is a Dev Ops Engineer and coding whizz who I'm hoping to get on here and sharing some of the custom touches he'll be making to mine (his interest should pick up when he gets his own).

I've just installed a reverse cam but wired it with constant 12V power so I can view it using back draft at any time, however backdraft cuts the playing audio as (I assume) its "playing" the audio from the video input but there isn't any. I've been toying with getting a splitter and putting the camera input through AUXVIDEO1. I reckon this would allow me to find/ask my friend to develop (he reckons he could pull apart back draft and play with it) an app that I can get to continue playing audio while viewing the camera but the main function would be the ability to take photos (screenshots?) and video as and when, but also to save a 10 min loop of video constantly in the background to a HD and save it if an impact is detected. Anyone know if it has an accelerometer and if there is an existing app for this or reasons why it wouldn't be possible?

I'm about to try sorting my SWC as my car is CANbus so didn't work out the box. Also testing whether I can use the same 3.5mm mic with a USB jack to utilize voice commands.

Thanks to all contributers so far, I wouldn't have had the balls to buy this if this knowledge base wasnt here.

New UI

Hey you guys,

lately i found something interesting on youtube.

Its a UI for Android Radio´s. But its not for the NU3001 i guess.

Someone know this UI or type of radio to see in this LINK

greetings
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
It looks to be an AN-21U variant. Looks like its just a refreshed launcher with some device specific apps for TPMS, ODB, etc.

You could easily re-create that look with any of the launcher/theming tools out there.

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Source Code avail on github now

I've taken the source that was found some time ago (1.0.9 based), and properly divded it into repo's and posted to github with a proper manifest.

The manifest is here: https://github.com/Nu3001/platform_manifest

I'm still polishing up a few things to make sure everything will build without modification. But that shouldn't take long. Once fully complete, anyone who wants to delve into this, will be able to download and compile their own system img fairly easily. Note that currently the kernel is based on [MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION] 's modified kernel (I did pull the most recent update patches we have), so it's got his 'amplified' boot log on it. Pretty easy to change if you want to do so before compiling.

Our next step is to start using the various APK decompiling tools to decode the bonovo apps from 1.0.9 and 1.1.4 to get some 'diff patches' that I can try to decipher and merge into our existing source. My time is very limited for this, so I would greatly appreciate any help doing the decompiles and diff's. If you are willing to do it, just post the diffs to pastebin and link here. I'll try to merge the changes and catch our source up to the Newsmy's current release.

I also created an 'organization' for this device on github (Nu3001) : https://github.com/Nu3001. Anyone who wants to help on this project, and has a working knowledge of github/android/linux, please let me know and I'll add you to the org. I've already invited Red, but I don't have github account names for [MENTION=260727]Tuatara[/MENTION] or [MENTION=349778]renedis[/MENTION], or anyone else who's been active so far.

I know many of you are sitting back just waiting for someone to spoon feed you a great ROM, but honestly it doesn't happen without a lot of people involved. This is a niche device that doesn't have as many users as most phones or tablets, so our available pool of users is smaller. If you want to see progress, you might need to come out of your comfort zone and try to stretch & grow your current level of knowledge and expertise. If it makes you feel any better, 3 years ago I had never so much as looked at a piece of android code, and knew next to nothing about linux. I started with a desire to change the way some toggles looked on my Galaxy Nexus (which didn't involve code, but just some simple XML layout changes). Those initial 'MODS' were quite popular and as AOKP started to take off, I ended up getting deeper and deeper into development. Within a few months, I had setup a VM, configured eclipse, and was making small changes to the source code. Just because you can't do it now, doesn't mean you can't learn. You are only limited by your desire. And if you didn't have 'hacking the source' in mind, why did you buy THIS unit, and why are you at THIS website? :)

OK. I'm off my soapbox. Let's start turning this thing inside out.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I tried to decompile the bono apk's but all of them failed. There is the kernel that was released on Dec 23. It had the RDS driver and serial driver patched. The driver for RDS need its config properly setup to compile when compiling the kernel. I bet the radio application just needs to be patched to use the RDS.o. both drivers looked functional.

Some changes would be performance governor and I/O scheduler as noop. Set them as default. My own kernel I added some more I/O schedulers and governors. Westwood for wireless would be nice to add. I can start adding them.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
If you are trying to use APKTool to decompile then you probably need to pull the frameworks from the system as well. There are resources in the bonovo apps that won't be in a 'stock' framework. However, APKTool will be of limited use here. We need a tool that decompiles source as well as resources. I know there are a bunch of tools out there, but not tried any myself yet.

The kernel on the github does have the RDS patch applied. Radio will need some re-engineer to use that code, but I think everything is there, we just need to figure out how to extract the RDS stream.

Feel free to submit a pull request for any kernel changes you want to see implemented.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
This must be an application specific issue - in that it expects some software/hardware configuration to be present depending on the build.prop. The "adjustments" I put into the ROM were to try and get the Play Store to recognize the CarPad II as a Nexus 7, so that the "full" set of applications on the Play Store would be available (not restricted by device/type). This appears to have worked only within Chrome (Chrome identifies as a Nexus 7 correctly, but not through the Play Store). I'm still looking into this. I made a custom build.prop on my Google Drive which (should?) pretend to be a Nexus 7 (build.prop edited to be like my Nexus 7) - but I still have not had the time to test this. (Still trying to get my Android Box off the bench and into the car - no time, and need to finish the cabling and bezel!!!).

I'll see what the issue can be due to ... but since a downgrade solved the issue, Netflix will (hopefully) release a newer version soon which will address this. Writing software to depend on the "build.prop" is a VERY bad way of coding. The program should check for FUNCTIONALITY and not make assumptions about what is available based on an editable string. Just my $0.02.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

I'm going to try and figure out a way (hopefully there is a way!) to combine the Recovery partition and the ClockworkMod partition in order to achieve this.

Some have said that the recovery partition can do an in-place upgrade, others have said that it does a full wipe.

I'll need to test this somehow - *** or give me feedback if you've done this before!!! ***

NOTE: With the repartitioning of APPS space, this may or may not work for a STOCK ROM!!!
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
This is true, its works that way with twrp.

Im not sure if this works with cwm too.

I did not get twrp to work yet. I prefer twrp because of the good touchscreen support.
[Android Head-Units] Firewater Burns:
I been working on getting some "steering wheel" controls up and running with my unit. I eventually found the Sony RMX11M, which is made to control a marine head-unit. There are about 10 or more different types of these marine remotes, but the Sony looks the cleanest for auto install, imo, although I think they all should work. The RMX11M is no longer in production, and the new design has a simple screen on it. I'm not sure how long you will be able to find the old version.

I just hooked it up got a quick test, and six of the buttons are working so far. There are directions on rcjoycon.com on how to hook it up. I should be able to get all the buttons going, I may need to do some soldering. It wires straight into the steering wheel controls on the unit (silver/grey wheel key 1 and brown & black key-gnd), you dont need the unit from rcjoycon.

Note:

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator was also suggested in the thread, so I looked into it. I found a few build threads for a car pc installs and a thread on their forum stated it was plug and play for android. It looked like it could work, so I ordered it. Well, it is plug and play for android, if you want to use it as a mouse. I wanted to remap all its functions (make twisting do volume for example), and I couldn't find any apps that would do this (I tried some joystick mapping apps even). I would have still been left with the volume button problem (the unit has its own volume, outside of the normal android built in volume). So i sent it back and found the Sony RMX11M.
[Android Head-Units] Firewater Burns:
That remote looks real nice for that price and would be awesome for bench testing! I didn't want to deal with battery stuff, so I didn't even look that way.

I really wanted a knob for volume, and way back, Zaphod linked a video to a modded iDrive from a BMW that they hooked up to a car pc. I almost tried to do this, but the build thread didn't have enough info to make me confident enough to spend $120+ on the parts. Build thread: HERE.

If your going to fabricate something yourself, I would defiantly be interested to see how its done. Although, it may make me spend even more money on this project.....
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I would be very interested in a project like this.... but on a monkey see monkey do basis. Would not have a clue how to do the software side of things but I'm sure it would make sense when doing it.

Maybe this could be the start to learning a bit of coding linked to functions I would understand.

EMS or DHL

Hey guys I want to pull the trigger on one of these on aliexpress but I searched with Google and I read that DHL will charge an additional fee once the item arrives if it goes through customs... I live in San Diego, California and don't want to pay any additional charges at all for this. Do you guys know if I order from Summer via DHL or even going through one of the other sellers mentioned in a prior post which uses EMS from China will I have to pay? Have any of you paid an additional fee? I'm asking those that already got the NU3001 and live in the states... Thanks ahead of time for your help!
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
The battery should last for months (ubiquitous BL-4C li-ion cellphone battery) and uses a standard micro-usb connector to charge. How long do the batteries in your wireless keyboard last? Since I'm putting a pair of USB charging ports into the car as well, having a charging cable in there, in order to plug it in every month or two to charge it is easy.

Oh man ... no. I'm not going to do something like that ... being a hardware engineer and all ... it's DIY all the way. ;)

I promise ... I'll keep it very "cheap" ... only cost will be your time to build, and in finding the right buttons/pieces to make it look good.

Ok ... two people interested already ... you've convinced me to get on to this in my next free moments of time.

I'll draw up a schematic and post all of the (fully commented) source code for what I build for myself. I'll make the code modular so that you can add/remove/change any functions or buttons to suit your design and purposes.

Right ... my thoughts right now are to use something like this: (depending on the number of pins you need for buttons!)

ATtiny84 - AVR 14 Pin 20MHz 8K 12A/D - $2.95 - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11232 ... or ...

ATMega328P - AVR 28 Pin 20MHz 32K 6A/D - $4.30 - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9061

I've got a dozen or so ATMega88PA - AVR 28 Pin 20MHz 8K, and ATTiny861 - AVR 20 Pin 20MHz 8K lying around, so I was going to use one of those. Basically ANY 8K AVR chip should be fine for what I'm going to do with it.

For the "keys" I was just going to use micro-switches with some hard-rubber button covers from an old stereo, and use a rotary encoder for the volume control with push-to-select, or push-to-mute or some function I'd decide on - but it would spin freely - sending multiple volume up/down keys as it turned ... so something like this - $2.95 - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9117.

Add in a breadboard, the micro-switches/buttons, a crystal, some soldering work, a USB connector and I'm done. Total parts cost ... should be well below $20, even if you buy it from SparkFun (mouser.com is cheaper). You'd need a soldering iron, solder, some tools, and the bits & pieces (purchase/salvaged/etc) to make it look like what you want. I'll build mine up, document it, and let's see how it goes from there.

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
As for your friend pulling apart the apps, we have the source for v1.0.9 of the stock ROM, link is on the wiki and Zaphod has uploaded it to github as well.

Sorta, I have taken the screen apart and posted photos and it would be possible to insert a color filter or even remove/replace the white LEDs.

I want to eventually want to get in on this as well. My only issue, like evryone else, is time.

Thanks, I will give this a try when I'm back in town next week.

I like the idea of a /etc/boot.d, but I too wonder if it's something that many will use, or if it's something that only a couple will use.

Also, very cool about the remote hardware project.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
I've been thinking about this ... and I believe I'd rather change /etc/init.d to execute AFTER all of the boot processes have completed. That (in general) makes a lot more sense for this device, as most (if not all) of the functions anyone would want to execute would be run after the system/kernel/mounts/etc. are all available.

Unless anyone has any strong objections to this, or would rather see both /etc/init.d and "/etc/boot.d" implemented please let me know.
