Today morning situation with V33BSB ( v33 black screen boot) was repeat. I have not time to do anything and drive to office as is. But later i do next step (and i think it help us)

1. Car ignition must be off

2. Unplug AB from HU

3. Start car as usual

4. Connect AB

5. Wait a 10-15 second and WOW - i see bootlogo (subaru) and bootanimation.

After next times car on-off Andriod Box boot as usual - fast, with visible boot logo and animation.

PS. I confirm hardbuttons light adjustable (dark, lighter, full white) on MCU key light config mode. But color not changed.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I wonder if this is related to the black and white problem that the developers saw with v32 which was never released?

[Android Head-Units] androproject:
and change the bootlogo?

* I downloaded some Bootlogos iso format

thanks
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Could you explain how you manage to change to bootanimation.zip. I created one from the standard list with this app and save it.

If I preview that one.. it works, but I want to change it in my car logo. So... I copied the bootanimation.zip from data/local to my pc and replace te pictures inside this created zip file.

I place back to the original location data/local, change the dect.txt resolution, but itwon't show me the carlogo picture.

Any Advise?
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
I tried 2 (neither from best buy ) and they don't work. The Samsung one doesn't even know its ejected. The scandisk does . neither mount though
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
I have a 32 GB that does. I would suggest buying a big flash drive or a portable ssd/ harddrive

**Edit* I hate the XDA app and Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
For change bootlogo you need to change it into kernel. This is simple procedure and i do it with next steps:

preparing logo

1. Install IrfanView - free and simple imageeditor.

2. Take your picture - your feature logo - open it in irfanview and performs the following operations

2.1. Resize (Ctrl+R) - enter width and height 1024x600

2.2. Decrease color depth - Menu-Image-Decrease color depth. Enter 224 colors (attach 1)

2.3. Save your new image - Ctrl+S - enter new imagename. Type format need to choice PPM (Portable Pixel Format). And into opened popup window "PNG\PNM\ICO save options" in group PBM\PGM\PPM choice - Ascii decoding (attach 2)

2.4 Press "Save" - as result your bootlogo is ready

preparing update.img

3. We can use for it any application: or 1) Firmware Factory Tools v4.4 from Newmy DVD or 2) RK31xxTools (I gave a link earlier in this thread)

3.1. FFT - more easy. Open our update.img Application prepared our firmware on (system.img, boot.img ect) automaticaly

3.2 Choose option "Replace boot logo' - press this button.

3.2.1 Open our ppm-file created on step 2

3.3. If all is good - logo will be updated (but you see it some distorted) - attach 3

3.4 Here you can change also bootanimation and default wallpaper (simple JPG 1024x600)

3.5 Save our changes - press button "Confirm modifications" (right down corner) - enter "your_name.img"

All ready!

Note. Before upgrade your HU your must remember, that file must have name - "update.img"

Now You can update your "custom", personal :) firmware

Note 2. Also in FFT you can add (delete) (not) needed application, build.prop options (localization. timezone etc)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Nicely done

Please add to Wiki?
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Thank you for this explanation! :good:

I'm trying this instruction 3 times, but still got an error while adding the picture see att

Also attached the edited carlogo

Actually I do not want to change the 1st Renedis boot logo, but the 2nd Android logo :)
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Isn't the 2nd one the boot animation? Also did you use the ppm file as in your zip or a simple jpg as stated in the instructions? I don't know if this is the issue as I will try these myself later. One thing I did notice when playing with that factory tool before was that it reported it couldn't find a bootanimation when the image was loaded. Not sure if that's related or not.
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
I've got the error while changing the first boot logo with the created ppm file.

Then I try to change the 2nd boot animation with a bootanimation.zip. I could be read in the FFT, so I think.. this is OK.

Update.img from SD and now I'm waiting with a black screen for almost 20 min to boot :(

I think I need to re-flash the HU again. I had the same problem yesterday. Damn it.. how could it be so difficult.
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
Be carefull - your attached picture (ppm) contain 255 color palette!!! Must be 224! Please read step 2.2 of my humble guide

Your correct file and screenshot success change operation is attached

PS. Sorry - but i found that these two files is equal... Hmm. but in my FFT replacement logo was successful
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
Sorry, but i can't use "SD-card method" for update firmware. I use "flash" method because i do repartition my firmware ( 2Gb for /data partition)
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
If I save it in Infranview to 224 and reopen it its again 256 colors.

I do not manage to read the picture in FFT.

On what kind of image did you try ? I used the Renedis version 1.1.3

I re flash the unit and have to begin from the start :)

Is there a way to make a full backup image when i'm ready with all my made settings?

Problems with my HU

Hey you guys,

im pretty new in this thread, since now i just read a lot.

I got the HU called "NU5261S-H-H* VW Universal CarPAD 2S"

Now i got this HU more then 3 weeks and i really like it. Mine is made for Volkswagen AG

but i think its pretty much based on the Carpad NU3001.

Software looks similar :)

My MCU Version: V27; System Version: CARPAD_1.0.9

And now i have a few problems:

1: after turning my car on after 6h or so the time is lost. I need to adjust it every single time after a periode like that. Anyone has a solution for that or know the cause of it?

Shoud i connect the Android Box to a other power supply to solve that problem or is there an easier solution?

2: when i start my car while running music it makes some weird noises like there are some bad signals. (hard to describe) You guys think there is something wrong with my wiring?

3: the stock eq is really really bad. hate that thing :D Ive been reading about VIPER4Android, but first i need root access. Is this Software EQ worth it? Does it work good?

Now i use PowerAMP. In settings of this Music Player i can adjust a regulator called "PreAMP"

Without this reg. my speakers would´nt have enough power. I think the build in AMP is not one of the best haha. Anyone got similar problems?

I would really appreciate every kind of help. Hope you guys have some solutions or help for me.

Btw, is it worth it to update ROM to Version 1.1.3?

best regards

PS: im from germany, this might be the reason for my bad language :D
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Be sure to check out the wiki as well, it should contain most of the relevant info from the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001

We think they are the same, let us know if you spot anything that might be different. Also tell us if you see WinCE hiding anywhere on there, the specs on the sale page says it has WinCE but also says it's pure Android.

Weird, it should retain the time. Try disabling automatic time and date in Settings > Time and set the time/date manually.

Yes, I would double check all your connections. I have been known to make weak connections in my wiring.

I'm quite impressed with Viper. As for not getting loud enough, are you using after-market speakers (not factory)?

If you feel that you are not getting enough power, I would suggest adding a small amp.

I personally like the Alpine KTP-445U http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VVYL46/ but I'm currently not using it with this stereo.

I would, but I haven't had any issues with it.

It seems like some are having slow boot problems with MCUv33 and ROMv1.1.3. You can always downgrade if you have problems.

I understood everything, so it must not be that bad.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
Here is the picture. It works perfectly. No issue.

[Android Head-Units] spoks:
What format do you have on card? Fat32 or ExFAT? Have you changed card format?
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I formated the card through the storage section in Android. Erased it then mounted it. Before it would not mount properly out of the package. After I did that. The card has worked fine ever since.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
SD card

As I thought :)

The only way to use SDXC cards on device which support SDHC, is to change card format to FAT32. It is a workaround, but nothing more while Newsmy will make support of SDXC.

[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I have added it to the feature request list.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I bit of topic.

I just working on a new version of my theme.

This time i rebased it on BUZZ LAUNCHER instead of THEMER

wHY:

- Use less resources

- More easy to users customize it, change icons ...

- Now is easy to move icons form on tile to other, or dock icons. (like a noromal launcher do)

- Is available to download on market ready for our resolution

- More intuitive and similar use as normal launchers

- More fluid and better screen page transactions

- Already can preload all icons i made on theme

- I can publish theme on buzz gallery so users can download directly form there on easy way

- Can use any xposed module to hide softkeys only on the launcher, so users will still get softkeys on all apps.

Attach some photos of how it looks right know. (I included a Recent APP icon on bottom left? :D

Hope have it finished today
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:

I'm ready for a download :)

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Hi, currently using your theme and it makes the unit a lot more usable than the stock android launcher. A quick question though originally I think you were looking at using the following theme from here -> http://www.mp3car.com/show-off-your...android-install-includes-build-log-diy-2.html

Were there any reasons that made you stop that and develop the one you have? I'm debating whether that one might be a better fit for my dash and was wondering whether I could graft it onto the launcher you are using or if there are any show stoppers?

Cheers

Rob
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Yes i started used this theme with nova launcher and invisible icons.

Problem i see there are:

- icons for me are little small while drive, and i want something bigger. and with standard grid of 4x2 + dock

- Theme is used to work with nova/apex and imvisible widgets, it take soooo much to load all widgets. For example when i tried it take more to load the launcher+widgets than to boot all the unit

- Another thing was the theme dosent have playback controls or artcover, things that i like to have on main screen

- Last is this theme uses dark/black background, so on direct sun situations make it invisible, only see a black screen with icosn and texts no background (looks ugly) and where i live have 364 days of sun

[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Does your car have a built in amp ? Some VWs and Audis have amplified rear speakers only and many owners dont realise their car has them. If it does and its not getting any power, or its getting power and your head unit is amplifying the signal as well, this may be the cause of your problem.

There is one problem though ... Torque seems to not find my bluetooth OBD2 adapter. In the "connected devices" section only my iphone is showing up :D

Does anybody here have a clue what I could do about it?

Thank You!!!
[Android Head-Units] MrG3kk0:
Thanks for Replying.

already checked out the wik.

My HU is definitely pure android.

I'll try something new with the time settings, maybe it's because of the time timezone.

My speakers are OEM but it feels like the new HU is not that powerful like my OEM Navigation system. Well see how viper works.

I'll try to update to V1.0.9 and tell you guys the results ;)

Thanks for your help and solutions though.

Hello man,

i'm sorry but i didn't find the right answer on previous post.

The robbers have stolen my original car radio (RNS510) so i need to replace it. I'd like to buy a NU5261 (2gb ram) unit for my vw; it should be the same unit exept for the layout.

I have some question about it and i hope that someone can help me.

I don't understand the meaning of hybrid unit.

The radio should be a win ce unit + android box.

but what is the utility of windows ce?

when the car engine start, the radio will start with android, is it right?

Thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
the nu units do not have windows ce in them, they are just android models, which is what you want, I have the same model and its a good unit. Likely better than the rns you once had.

Soon as you turn the key on, the radio & android box boots up in about 15 seconds. This is tone of the best models iI have seen that works with the vw canbus like it should, my huifei model, didn't work well with the canbus system.

Hello guys,

I'm still struggling to change the standard 2nd bootanimation (the android logo). I know the correct location should be System/Media and not Data/Local

In the attachment 2 bootanimation files. 1 that work with android logo and 1 that doesn't work.

The one that works is created from the carpad with "Boot Animations" app from the Google store .

I am also using this tool to do a preview if copied an edit version back to the carpad.

I'm trying for 24 ours now, but still can get what I'm doing wrong. :eek:

I have NU5261S, it's pure Andorid, there's no WinCE at all.

Andorid ROM for NU3001 is compatible with NU5261.

I use MCU v27 with ROM 1.1.3 without problems. I haven't updated MCU, because Summer said it wasn't necessary.

I suppose a NU3001 MCU update isn't compatible with NU5261, although I haven't checked this out.

Ok looks very nice. I download it and apply to my HU.

[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Its very easy just do a long press con the icon and a popup will appear with options like resize, change icon, edit, delete, copy ....

To move a icon from a tile do in same way as stock launcher

To add new app just add app to desktop and edit his size and icon to match the theme

Just updated the wiki with information about the new version and download links for iconpacks 51 tile icons in total
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
bockywocky! Be carefull :) bootanimation.zip must be 0 (zero) compression!

You archive contain (at least) 3 files by 20244 bytes, but it same have size - 55277 bytes.

61520 bytes - this is correct size!

And i will recomend for you to use images adapted to original screen size 1024x600
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Hmm 15 seconds. I timed mine (NU3001) the other morning and from pressing my cars ignition button it took about 11 seconds for the boot logo to appear and about 50 seconds in total to boot to the home screen. I'm using renedis's 1.1.3 debloated rom with no soft keys and mcu 33. I'm not sure if it was any faster on the older versions. Does everyone else's boot in 15 seconds?

1. Reed the wiki.

2. Try to go trough this thread (yes, its a lot of records now) or at least make search in this thread. You will find lot of useful information.

3. I suggest no to use bluetooth sync for contacts. Do it by import from file or use Google contact synchronization. Then use 3rd party APPs for contacts and dialing. For example, ExDialer or other.

Did anybody ever manage to change the Android animated bootlogo ?

Not the first one, but the second animated Android boot logo.

I think it's not possible and it's hidden in the FFT too.

Doesn't Red (red13dotnet) somewhere at the beginning of this thread was talking about it? As I remember it is not changeable. You can change first logo only.

Mine takes about 30/35 seconds to show android menu/main screen after the ignition is on.

I think he means to say that the radio will play after 15/20 seconds after you turn ignition on while it's still booting. This will only work if you have left the radio on after you've turned the ignition of (and off course wait 2+ hours).

This does not work with any other apps. Only with the radio app.

I hope to implement quick-boot some day.. This will increase boot time a lot.

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I didn't know that as since I've had the unit and access to my music collection the radio hasn't got a look in. I will test it soon though.

That will be good. I've just received a power bank which I'm going to try and use to keep a power supply to the Android box. Just debating when and how to test it as its a USB one so would need to connect to the Android box USB host connector. It has been mentioned that this is a bad way to power the box. It this works then I think it would keep it running for days which would result in an instant power on everytime.

[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Yes it's loading successful into FFT and it will show you the animation too, but if you rebuild the update.img and upload it to your device it will never passes the bootanimation point. So your screen will be black for ever and the only thing you can do is to re flash the HU.

[MENTION=349778]renedis[/MENTION] If you manage to change it, maybe you can build an .img for me with the right picture I want.
