Hello, for me, adb shell is enough...

maybe you can try this method: http://car.newsmy.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4923&highlight=root
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Did you break root because you updated your ROM to 1.08?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Nope, never worked for anything but adb shell even in the behinning.

Can you install and use any root apps?
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
you can try this unlocker: http://kingo-android-root.software.informer.com/1.2/

wich app are you trying to install? I can do some tests...
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Not working, says it does but supersu still finds no su binary.

Customized REALLY Pre-Rooted 1.0.8 Rom

Hello all

Been silent today because I've been working on something for everyone. Lots of reading and learning was involved. :highfive:

Modified the 1.0.8 rom with the following changes:

SuperSu, su and busybox are all installed and working normally

adb root shell still on by default

set default language/locale to en/us

set default timezone to America/New_York

activated initial setup on first boot so you can set your preferred language, locale, etc

corrected a bug I had found where android bluetooth will not activate on boot

removed pinyin keyboard

removed chinese only navigation apps

removed baidu app

removed wifi analyzer

removed benchmark

left es file explorer alone for now

I'm currently investigating adding a custom recovery, got twrp to boot but not responding to touchscreen, so I left that out of this build.

Would appreciate your thoughts on my first try :fingers-crossed:

NEW YORK CITY??!!!

What, no USB mic input?

:)

Seriously, this is awesome!
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Es File explorer I'd leave on there. Has root functions and it's free. My two cents.

I'd love to be able to test, but I've not heard a peep from anyone since I placed my order. No confirmation, nothing.

Durham, NY? Albany area right?

I'm down near Poughkeepsie.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Thanks, have you had a chance to try it out yet?

Durham, NC but that's still my timezone :good: Maybe I'll have rev2 done in time for you to test.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Perfect timing. My unit was just delivered. It took 4 days from China with DHL Express. Glad I purchased directly from the manufacturer or else other sellers would have sent it through EMS...that will not take 4 days.

Red, I did not know you are a android rom developer....Nice that we got you to mess with this unit.

I'll bring my carpad to work tomorrow and try it out.

Once again man, thanks.

I will do an unboxing video tonight!!!
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Well I wasn't but I guess I am now? Like I said earlier, I'm just an educated amateur. I've never done any custom rom work before. Thanks for the compliment though. :D Anyone who wants to add anything or contribute ideas is welcome, I'm learning as I go. Especially anyone familiar with customizing/compiling TWRP recovery or who wants to help me look into usb microphone support is more than welcome to chime in.

Message from Homepage:

Warning Note: Due the factory holiday days, the orders made between 5 February and 25 February can be delayed some days over the usual delivery time, but we offer a Discount Coupon meanwhile

ordered on friday, lets see how long we need to wait. :)

Other question:

I have no steering wheel controls but want to use a remote that fits into steering wheel, like this: http://www.frizelles.com.au/Northern-Rivers-Isuzu/article/25/Isuzu_TAV_Unit_by_Remote#.VODbJfOG9MQ

Does anybody know how to use something like this?

I read through all 300 pages within 3 days :) could not find a statement about that
[Android Head-Units] walio:
Yeah I noticed that on their website, I still assume they might have local stock rather than shipping one by one from China and then repackaging for further destinations. Which one did you order? I am hoping my one is not so popular and they have stock :) Friday's orders are processed on Mondays, so I guess both your an mine might be leaving at the same time if in stock...

Regarding the Steering IR remote. I guess it is worth a shot just ordering one from eBay? Looked up and they are less than £5 each if shipped from China. I guess you'd have to wait for them for a while due to NY in China. Just search for steering IR remote on eBay.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I had mine hooked up to a TV and the sound did not come out of the head unit anymore. Maybe it depends on the HDMI device that is used.

This looks like it uses IR to talk to the stereo and I don't think the Newsmy units have IR. Look for an aftermarket controller that uses a resistive ladder (usually has 2 -3 wires). Then you can connect this to the Wheel Key 1 and GND wires on the stereo.

Also, since I'm not sure about IR on our units what would it take to figure this out?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
IR controls are available to the KeyEditor app, but I don't think there is a built in receiver (may depend on exact model). You might could wire in one? I think there are mysterious Rx/Tx Serial wires on some devices.

However,

this is probably easier:

http://www.isimplesolutions.com/control/bluclik.html

Bluetooth SWC.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
Hopefully you're right. I ordered the NU3001-01-H, thats the standard universal one, but with 2 GB ram.

Could you post some examples? I'm not able to run a cable from steering wheel to the unit. I would need something wireless :)

Found that one too. But, connection via bluetooth? Is this supported? I would need to remap the voice command key, because I'm not using this kind of input. Only old school by finger tip, and hopefully remote

Will need a thing like this?

Finally have my ICOM 7000 hooked up to the NU3001.
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
Screen flickers

Hey you guys,

since last 3 Weeks i have those really annoing screen flickers, its not like those RGB disfunction or so.

And wireing is also okay and its definitely not the cause of it.

Some of you compaining about similar problems?

some of you might have a solve for it?

best regards from germany :p
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
The audio is great for the aux input. Better than I expected....
[Android Head-Units] coyttl:
How'd you hook that up? That's definitely something I'm going to be looking into..!
[Android Head-Units] Marius B:
Toogic what apps use for this decompiling and edit ?
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
The ICOM 7000 has composite video out on the radio. I just hooked it up to the video in (yellow input) and the audio to both aux in inputs.

The volume is controlled by the NU3001. It's also nice just to tap the NU3001 screen to close off the display and sound.

Is it possible to downlod the image somewhere? would like to test it as well :)
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
Hello guys!

In the end my HU (nu-5261 -> vw specific) is arrived!

Original Equipment: mcu29 and 1.1.0 software (not yet been updated!)

My impression (after 2h of use):

AUDIO: not bad; not at level of rns510 (original HU) but sounds good anyway! Maybe with viper4android could be better!

RADIO: good reception

For that have problems with audio (sometimes have latches problems): disable audio and backlight adjustment.

TOMTOM (original app purchase on play store) works correctly!

OK google and microphone: should be connect to OTG port (on usb host doesn't works 4 me!)

Ok google works correctly. On my HU runs very slowly but can be a connection problem.

WIFI: poor reception
[Android Head-Units] peregrines:
I can`t believe Tomtom works for You??? I tried everything to get it to work!

Did you update to the newest MCU and 1.1.4 already?

Is it really able to get a GPS connection?
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
Hi!

Yeah 100% working. I try it for 2km.

Now i'm upgrading to last build! Then i told u if works correclty again! (mcu 34 and 1.1.4 renedis)
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Yes keep us informed about TomTom.

If its working... I would like to have an output from all gps libs in /system/lib/hw/ folder and a copy off the build.prop :D
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
I updated to 1.1.4 and last mcu!

I'm downloading last map but goes very slowly (i end my LTE data planner so i'm using wifi, but in the garage i have low signal).

For the interface check this:

http://xdaforums.com/themer/zooper-templates/zooper-android-auto-t2815419

i'd like to try to fix for our HU!
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
Hey guys, need a little help with wiring. In the FAQ, the wiring harness shown is different than the one I received with my nu3001 (2Gb version) . The harness in the FAQ has 20 wires. Mine only has 17 and is missing the CANBUS and Pink Parking brake wire. Anyone else have this problem? What should I connect the parking brake wire to?
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
Hey,

latey i got viper to run :D

Sounds way better now. :D

Which convoler do you recommend to me?

I used BBE generic present 5.ins

where is the difference between all of those Convolers?

thanks again :)
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Congratulations!

The person that made all those convolvers stopped making them and I grabbed all of his works and saved then because, quite frankly, they were the best I've ever heard.

They all do different things. It all depends on your speaker setup and your "taste" in music.

If you have an external subwoofer powered by an amplifier: Tracs Extended bass.irs is your best friend.

If not, then Tracs Studio Pro.irs is good. I used the BBE preset one and the soundstage sounded too "high" for me.

But like I said, your ears are different then mine so feel free to experiment.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Sounds like I'm going to get viper to run on my unit once I get time to look at it again, does it effect the Bluetooth audio as well ? Or just 3rd party audio players?
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
Your info on viper4android should be on the wiki night and day difference
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I added a link to the post under tutorials, it's up to usafle to add it directly to the wiki.
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
It's pretty obvious the "Update Setting" app is crap. It has never worked on my unit, not once. It doesn't matter how many times I reboot, whether there's a SD card inserted or not, it always locks up and throws the "Update Setting isn't responding" popup. You can click "wait" for 30 minutes and it never does anything besides throw that error. Unless someone has a fix for this, I think summer owes me a new unit. I don't see any other way to run MCU updates, since the rkbatchtool won't do it.
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
Mines works Hasn't froze. I'll take the good luck.
[Android Head-Units] Khael:
daily update:

i install viper4android and works correctly!

I try with a custom personalization because i don't know which choose on gdrive fodler!

TOMTOM: yesterday maps download goes very slowly! after 1.30h it was at 13%. Today i'll try again

But the biggest problem is the BACKLIGHT!

I know that there isn't ambient light sensor and that i can use an app to change colors but...

there is a way to connect backlight to the headlight car? (for example when i turn on it, the backlight goes down!)
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
This might be helpful for people, so I'm posting it here:

I had serious GPS issues (not getting a fix even after prolonged driving times), GPS Status & Toolbox showing me a fix on 3 maybe 4 satellites with a huge error margin. Tried clearing AGPS & redownloading AGPS, etc etc, to no avail. Then I uninstalled both FasterGPS and GPS Status & Toolbox and... my GPS problems were gone! After rebooting my head unit found a signal within 10 seconds. I now use GPS Test to check the signal and everything is working fine. I do have to say: the SNR on the GPS receiver isn't great, I usually get 6 to 8 satellites "In Use" with a SNR between 20 and 30. Does anyone else experience the same thing? I have a really basic car, no shielding in the windows, and have the GPS unit stuck to my dashboard next to the window.

Also: installed MCU v34, but the only thing I noticed it that the Power button or Power app only shuts down the display, it doesn't reboot the Android box anymore. Which is kinda annoying, so I reverted to v31. Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Are you doing this with the box plugged in to the HU, or just using the box on a 'bench test'. The update setting app needs to read MCU version (which is in the HU), so it will lock up if not connected properly.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I have it running on my Nexus 5. When i had a Kenwood head unit in the car it effected the music output. I don't know if it needs to be installed on the "source" to optimize the audio output or if it can do it on the fly from the H/U. Since i installed this H/U, I no longer stream audio from the phone. Simply no need so can't answer that question.

I know it works with Google play music and PowerAmp. It *should* work with any player.....

Thanks. Appreciate that. The only drawback is that Viper thinks it's installed on a phone with a mono speaker. If it knew it was installed on something with more speakers we'd have access to a whole slew of options! If you look at the Bluetooth or headset settings, there are options to control the bass output and everything. I haven't found a way to "trick" Viper into using those settings unfortunately. If we could, it would be a 1000% improvement.

Usafle just bought a house and is still moving and setting up. ;)

My computer is still not set up yet. Doing all this typing from within taptalk... Sucks!

Otherwise, I'd have added it to the wiki a long time ago with screenshots and better instructions then what I typed out earlier.

Just use/start out with one of the .irs files I have unzipped already. If you get too many, then you start to get confused as to which one you like better. Lol

Backlight: make sure you illumination wire is connected and select the setting in the MCU for backlight adjust.

However, changing the brightness manually will darken the screen considerably then having it done automatically.

I was going to play around with Tasker and see if I could have the brightness set on the time of day local. But, again, new house and all and no time.
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
I also have been looking into it I searched for mixer_path.xml to increase volume output but no file found then I tried your irs files and what huge difference it made I can only imagine how much better it would get if we had the other options from like the Bluetooth settings
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Was doing some research and someone suggested to do this to get headset/Bluetooth to stick:

"Menu button in V4A->Lock Effect Mode "

If it's that simple, I'll punch myself lol

Can't test it out as I'm away and my car is in the airport parking lot.

Someone try and report back?
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:

[Android Head-Units] nik101968:

[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:

[Android Head-Units] usafle:
No need. I've punched myself many times. It works. It WAS that simple.

Holy sweet baby jesus, the sound now....... :good::D
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I would try with a different SD card.

Yes, the illumination wire should be connected to the illumination wire from the car. This wire is powered when the car's park lights are turned on (and headlights as well). There is a setting in the "Update Settings" app to enable dimming. Enable it and adjust the slider to the brightness level you want.

Congrats on the new home!

So you adjust the settings in Bluetooth mode and then enable Lock Effect?
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
Can't find this properly in the wiki:

Can you also use the smaller mini-USB port (USB On-The-Go) to connect things like microphones, webcams or external drives? Or is that only possible with the normal sized USB port? My 1TB external drive + 3G dongle draw too much power for one port on a hub, the drives starts to click and skip. Would be great if I could use the OTG-port for one of these two.

(If the answer is no, could we still use the OTG port to power up a powered USB hub?)
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Oh I so gotta try this lol, I thought the around was good as is, now I'm very tempted to get viper going, is there anything special I need to do after installing it? Or is it just straight forward ?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Thanks!!!!! It's a bit hectic but well worth it.

I selected "Headset profile" instead of Bluetooth. It gives you the option to select what you want it locked too. Since I use Viper on my Nexus 5 + 10 with a headset, I selected that option since I am pretty familiar with the tweaks that in the app that I can play with to get the sound I want out of it.

Read my instructions on the first post!
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I think it should work, I haven't tried it myself but my Android box came with an OTG cable.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:

sounds quite unbelivable that software can cause screen flickers (in my opinion) :)
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Here's a question, does anyone know what the HDMI output is on these units ? Pal or ntsc? As I've tried hooking my unit up to my tv and the screen flashes on for 2 seconds them goes black, which repeats. There's never a solid picture.

I am only powering the unit up with quantity cable, as my AC adapter I got the tip didn't fit :(
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I've had the flickering since I installed the unit. Well before the install of Viper ever took place.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I bet the flickering is most likely related to a specific LCD panel. Judging by the release notes, there are different panels being used.

download KingRoot.apk

Install it on you HU. its chinese app but you´ll figure out how to use it, very easy to understand :D

First time you install device shuts down without root, second time it works perfectly.

This type of ROOT is not persistent, and wipes after every update :)

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Co-Pilot

With all of the talk of TomTom issues, have any of you tried any different programs?

I use Waze primarily, but of course it does not do off-line mapping. For those cases where I either don't want to tether up the phone, or in case I can't get a good signal, I bought CoPilot :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.copilot.namarket.premiumusa&hl=en

That's the US version, but they have maps/packages for much of the world. They also offer a free version. I've never had any issues running CoPilot on any Android platform. Very solid off-line solution.
[Android Head-Units] runemail:
Co pilot user from europe here, works fine and was a lot cheaper than TomTom when I bought it. Been using it for 4 years now I think, improved quite a bit in the last couple of years. Back in the days before android I used TomTom on windows mobile, warez-style. It might be a slightly better interface, but just too expensive for my taste. I prefer Waze / Gmaps most of the time.
