We did not make a 1.1.6c2.img. I only made a zip file. Once you have made the switch to xdAuto, you should start using TWRP to flash zip files rather than flashing .img files in rkbatchtool.

Flashing a .img will almost certainly wipe your device each time you do it. Flashing the .zip's in TWRP will not. Unless we do some REALLY major changes somewhere, you can assume it is safe to flash the .zip's in TWRP without wiping data. I suspect we will quit making .img files all together at this point.

So, You will need rkbatchtool to flash at least once (flash 1.1.6c.img) and let it boot up. You can then transfer the 1.1.6c2.zip to your SDcard (or USB, or internal_sd,etc). Reboot into recovery and flash 1.1.6c2.

From there out, you'll be fine to flash the .zip releases in TWRP.

Nu5002 help:

I have a nu5002, And it appears the android box is not going into standby mode because i have to wait 20 seconds everytime for it to bootup, even if i just turned the key off. I had an extra negtive and Ign wire left over, is this the reason why or can someone help.

also is there any reason why i cant use Roms and update files from nu3001 .

one last thing, I installed backup camera can i possibly just tap on an icon to view the RCA input so i don't have to splice into a Reverse light wire?

The device fit perfect in a 2005 silverado, no mounting kit needed. Illumination light doesn't seem to work as I dim the dash yet it doesn't dim the radio.

I love this community and root and flash all my devices

I subscribed to this thread.!
[Android Head-Units] svenn1:
Thanks a lot for the detailed description :). I am on it :)
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Below relates to a NU3001:

Regarding standby: you need to have the red wire connected to permanent 12V battery. If you only connect to ignition that will cause to no standby. If however your wiring is correct then I would ask if you are on stock ROM, since in 1.1.16 stock there is a bug preventing it from going to standby. I had the same issue and going to XDAuto solved it for me

Regarding rearcamera: yes alternatively to using the yellow RC-Video in you can use the other Video in and activate it by the button app mannualy it is described few threads back (does not require the wiring of reverse gear light), but I would prefer the RC-Video in with the reverse gear signal since it will immediately switch to this Video in overiding whatever the box Displays immediately and there is only a nice (optional) way of remote power control of the camera.

Hi :) how did you do this exactly? I have a E3372h and I can't seem to make it work :-/ I have played with USB settings an ethernet settings, but no luck at all..
[Android Head-Units] denhuff:
i am on stock also, and update it to AD3188_CarPad-II-P_KK4.4.2_1.2.0_1024x600_update

MCU V.41 witch i got from the seller in spain.

now it stays on for about 2 hours, you can,t chance that

if you use the rc input for the cam, there is an icon in the app drawer to use. i bellieve its called backdraft or something

[Android Head-Units] xyfix:
denhuff, what do you mean it stays on for 2 hours? The unit stays on and after 2 hours it shuts down? I also have a NU5002 and want to upgrade to 1.2.0 MCU v.41.
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Staying on means staying in standby when you swich ignition off. Screen will be off, but the device will still get power by the battery (low consumption) thus way when you turn ignition back on the screen will almost immediately turn on, avoiding 20 Seconds boot time. With stock rom the 2h is currently not configurable meaning after 2h the unit will completely shut down then you need the 20sec. for rebooting. With XDAuto you can change the 2h preset

MCU v41 has proven to be a little bit unreliable for [MENTION=6472486]leonkernan[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] . Our suggestion currently is to stay on v40.

As for standby options, those are listen in the Update Settings app. However, I don't know that all stock roms/MCU combinations work correctly.

Suggest you move to xdAuto 1.1.6c2. and v40 MCU. Not only does the stand-by code work, but leon added an option to keep wireless (bluetooth/wifi) on for a user define amount of time (in conjunction with sleep/stand-by time). This make setting up Syncing tasks (like syncing google play music, etc) nice for wifi connection when home, etc.
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
I can second that. Mine was unfortunately already delivered with MCU 41 and still standby did not work with stock ROM 1.1.16 ..

So XDAuto solved it for me, but better stay on MCU 40.

Hello,

First of all thanks for your ROM. Once i manage to get back home I shall get on flashing it immediately :D

Just a couple of quick (hopefully) questions. So if i come from stock, can i just flash MCU, TWRP and then 1.1.6c2.zip? Or should i flash MCU then 1.1.6c as you suggested? Does 1.1.6c come with TWRP? Moreover i noticed that there are 2 versions to the c2. I tried searching in the thread for 160dpi to see what it means but i cannot seem to understand. Which one should i download.

I apologise for most probably asking a question that has already been asked before :(
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Flashing MCU is independent of flashing the Android image. You can do this before or after, makes little difference. As mentioned above, suggest staying with MCU v40 for now.

xdAuto comes with TRWP (in all versions, flavors, etc). The reason we need to use the .img file the first time is that Stock Rom does not have a recovery that supports flashing .zips. xdAuto also uses a different partition size layout than Stock, flashing in rkBatchtool will resize the partitions.

Flashing 1.1.6c.img in rkBatchtool will do two things: 1) set TWRP as recovery 2)Resize the partitions the way we want them.

You can then proceed to flash 1.1.6c2.zip using the newly flashed TWRP recovery.

the 160dpi version of 1.1.6c2 was a test version that used 160dpi rather than our default of 240dpi. Most of us think the 240 is easier to work with. The 160dpi version is also a little 'older' than the other one, and I think a few fixes/features were added. If you *WANT* 160dpi, you can manually change the dpi in the most recent release and it should work just fine.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Cheers man! I shall get on it this weekend :)

Btw not sure if already posted as well, but can we do a wiki section called Most popular apps etc that shows for example the apps you normal people would use for this stereo? Now i know that this is highly subjective, but I am looking for a decent gps app that does not require wifi/3G. Then for each 'task' (ex radio, music, gps... ) we can list the most popular/best working apps?

Moreover although the wiki is really great, over time it has gotten to be a bit too much information atleast for a new user like me. Now i have read most of it however i was also thinking maybe we do a getting started section for those looking into flashing etc?

Just throwing it out there.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
I have the NU5002 and use the NU3001 roms etc, the only difference is the lack of buttons but Xauto allows you to have the software buttons there permanently or have them hidden but pulled up from the bottom.

Here does offline maps but the settings screen is blank and Here support refuse to help so you can't change the map files location from internal memory. I am using Waze currently which is online only but also need an offline map saved to the SD card as coverage can be flaky in rural areas.

I am guessing this will violate the warranty right? :(
[Android Head-Units] svenn1:
Guys,

I have a question about the auto dimming the display when the car lights go on. I am running xdauto 1.1.6c2 and in the MCU settings I can find one option called "car backlight" or somthing like that but I am not sure if this is the option or not.. I have enabled this option but nothing is changing when i turn the lights on.

Is there such option at all and if yes how can make it working?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
You found the right setting, it works like a charm on my vw model. :) what version radio do you have? And if you don't use canbus, have you connected the illumination wire?
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Yup. Absolutely. But then again, it could be argued that flashing a different ROM has already voided the warranty anyways. Look at it this way ... the Android Box itself is about US$100 of the device cost. Can you afford to replace it IF AND ONLY IF you destroy it beyond all hope of recovery? The rest of the head unit will work just fine with a replacement box. Is xdAuto and it's feature-set worth that? I already know my answer. :cool:

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Sure, go ahead and add a "Suggested Apps" section if you would like.

The idea of a wiki is to have all possible relevant information in one place. A user should be able to answer 99% of their questions there.

There is a section for flashing, but that was written for stock ROM upgrades. Probably would be a good idea to write another for moving to custom ROMs.

There is a checkbox and a slider, the slider appears when the box is checked, the slider controls the level the backlight is set to when the illumination wire is powered.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Nope. That won't work. The WiFi in the Android Box is 2.4GHz, not 5.8GHz ... wrong antenna. Also, I'd recommend something like this, with a cable (1m length is good) which you can either cut & solder to the board, or you can put on a connector, and expose it through the case if you're capable of doing that. Obviously you don't need magnetic base, or 7dBi (5dBi works great in my case) ... whatever best suits your installation.

I also have the VW model(NU5261S-H-H0) but on a Skoda Octavia. I have no idea if I am using a canbus or not... I just connected the cable(big socket) to the one on the car. I did not notice such illumination wire..most probably this is the reason. Can you share a bit more information where this wire should be connected to?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
If I am not mistaken, that wire should be connected to the headlamp wire. I had an illumination wire coming in my dash. I am assuming you can connect it to the 12V source for the headlights when you turn them on.
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
If your radio shows when doors are opened, then the illumination wire has to be disconnected. Does your buttons have light in them all the time?

In Xauto at least and may be the stock rom you cannot get into the settings menu using the recent button as I can on my phone, so you can't change the recordings location or change the settings for distance warnings speed warnings etc. As far as I am aware there is not other way into the setting screen.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Using Recents as Menu key is not a standard android thing. However, you should be seeing a menu/overflow key (3 dots, right hand side of navbar). Since ICS (Android 4.0), this is the standard way of dealing with devices that do not have a menu key.

Im going to need help guys. Sounds like summer won't send me a new replacement box because I didn't order directly from her can someone perhaps order me one and send it to me? This is after I sent payment for a replacement box. So not really impressed right now and I told her I would require it before the 16th of August.

Here is what she said, a week after sending payment for a replacement box.

Hello Kevin Walsh,

You did not make a order from me right? I do not have your order at hand.

Now I cannot pick up the android box. Does your brother still need our products, then we can send the android box with his order.

With MCU 44. I wonder what all the DVD stuff is for?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Many of the newer, model specific devices are coming with DVD players. Need to build MCU support for those. Like the other analog inputs, these are not digitized and accessible via Android, they just mix the Audio/Video on the MCU. They will probably need some type of App to control keypresses, etc.

I have done lots of searching but I have not managed to quite figure this out. Does the nu3001 have a useable can bus decoder?

You don't need to get anything from eBay ... antennas are everywhere. A quick google led me to the following seller - antennas with cables - right in the centre of Malta, so it's probably the closest distance to get there from wherever you are :cool::

Wifi-Antenna HiGain Omni-Dir. Indoor 5dBi Intellinet - € 8.95 inc VAT

Wifi-Antenna HiGain Omni-Dir. Indoor 7dBi Intellinet - € 16.95 inc VAT

It's just a basic indoor antenna you would need, so pretty much anything will do. I've mounted mine underneath the plastic dash in my car. I had enough space to place it inside there, above the venting system, and this keeps it 'out of sight'. Any location which has reasonable 'visibility' out of the car is fine. Just don't mount it directly next to metal, or directly underneath the roof of the car - just try to avoid having anything metal directly next to it, which can shield it and reduce it's effectiveness. But otherwise, anything external is better than the tiny PCB patch antenna inside the Android box.

I don't know if it's better, but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

What's the best way to perform Tasker actions based on whether the device is active or in standby?

I used to have Tasker rules based on %WIFI eq on/off, but strangely enough, these aren't functioning as well anymore after upgrading to xdAuto. I can clearly see it because %WIFI eq off should turn off my 'dash' webcam, but the light stays on. Or is it possible that the screen turns off, but the device does not go into standby (airplane) mode?
