This version "TomTom GPS Navigation Traffic" is officially not available in the Netherlands for Android., but I manage to download the apk.

What map are you using?

And could you tell me your folder structure e.g. Internal_sd/tomtom/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp/files/files ????

[Android Head-Units] Khael:
Europe map!

This night i'll check the structure!
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
On my Gdrive but be aware that the NO softbuttons still have softbuttons.

You have to disable it in the build.prop.

Great that would be nice :)

I'm searching for a long time to get tomtom working on this device.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I did a quick search 'disable soft buttons' and a how to guide by atemysix comes up, follow whats llisted and that should fix the issue. Looks to be aa slight oversite by rendis on his upload, oh well :) it will get fixed likely soon

Sorry offtop

After replacing the stock HU in my subaru forester (2006MY 2.0AT) I got broken subwoofer. My subwoofer is a passive, and our NU3001 has no power output channel to the subwoofer , so I'm looking for a simple and inexpensive subwoofer amplifier. What can you recommend me? I'm not need high watt output, about 40-50W will be enouth. Thanks

I fixed my root problems!

OK, [MENTION=3159413]usafle[/MENTION] and anyone else that gets the error when trying to update the SU binaries within SuperSU, here's what worked for me:

Use FFT to unpack your desired ROM.

In build.prop, change "sys.rkadb.root" value from "0" to "1". I think this prevents the "partial pre-root" of the device.

Remove SuperUser.apk from system apps.

Add Google Play Store .apk.

After making any other desired changes, repackage your ROM.

Use RKBatchTool to "restore" ROM onto device. (You might be able to get away with an SD card update so you don't have to start from scratch, but I didn't try it.)

DO NOT ROOT YET

On device, sign in to your Google account and update SuperUser app in the Play Store.

Open SuperUser app and update binaries. I had to open the app from the Play Store because the app didn't appear in the app drawer (because no root?).

Now use Kingo Root to root device.

Open SuperUser app and update binaries again.

Profit?

Hope this helps!

[MENTION=6130964]Scebbo[/MENTION], which dongles did you try? None of mine did not work i.e. :

Huawei E3276s-151

Huawei E3131s-2

Huawei E173u-2

Nothing happened after plunging, when manual network search i got only error popup.

The last one (e173u) finally worked thanks to pppwidget2, but this is far from plug&play solution.

Did anyone check other 3G dongles and can confirm it works (yes/no)?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Thanks. But that's WAY beyond my "pay grade".

Hope it works for others though.

Maybe someone can incorporate this into a ROM build and have it pre-rooted???? Hope???
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
My plug&play solution - Huawei E1750 (HSPA USB stick). Just insert and work fine.

But, to exclude usb flash driver conflict (it can exist) - you need run AT command to switch "only modem" mode.
[Android Head-Units] DaveSmith_1:
I'm pretty new at this stuff too, so I don't know if I can pre-root this, but I'll try to provide an unrooted ROM later that might make it easier to work through the remaining steps.

Tuatara:

All I can say is WOW! Thanks for your work along with others on here. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I still haven't installed my unit yet -- and I was the second person on here to buy it. I've been really busy with other household mechanical repairs and just can't seem to squeeze it in. You however, have motivated me to get with it. Thanks again to you and everyone else whose been such a great help with this.

Wait a minute?!?!?

What kind of CRAP is this?!?! The default timezone is set to New Zealand?!?!?! That's it. I'm not using this!! I've got to change a freaking time zone to USA EST?!?!??

(Throws hands up in the air)

Who does he think he is?!?!? It should be set to America time zone. Of all the nerve!?!?!?!?

Seriously... wow.... I can't thank you enough!!!!

I am itching to try this out. You are now, officially, way cooler then you were 20 minutes ago!

Has anyone purchased a power adapter for this thing lately, I haven't been able to find one with a small enough end to fit the port this unit has, rather do the tweaking in my house vs freezing my [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] off outside in the -25c weather :(
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Wow I want to try out that rooted ROM,.. And I have not even installed the unit yet
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Awesome! Thanks for all the hard work. I believe this is the first custom recovery as well.

I'm going to try this out soon.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I think I am going to try this, just having more app space will be awesome
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
I'm sorry. :(

(Yes, I am originally from Canada)

It's not set to "America time zone" (US) ... because I live in the future. Oh, you'll neeed to change the date format too.

(and I know you can change build.prop if you need to - Month/Day/Year? ... that's like giving time in Minute: Hour: Second.)

Let me know how your testing goes. I've been running it for a few days without issue.

P.S> You're welcome. :D

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I purchased a standard 3-12V variable voltage supply (1.5A spec), with interchangeable connectors. The smallest 'pin' was one of the options available. I set it to 12V, center-tip positive. Works perfectly.

P.S> It's 24'C (75F) and sunny here. You should move.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm thanks for mentioning that, I may jave a universal adapter in one of mymy parts drawers, totally forgot about it till now.

Haha where you live now?
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Please do. I've tested the CWM recovery, but have not done any Nandroid backup testing as yet. Too much ROM building to have configured anything worth backing up.

That is changing this weekend, once I fully install my head unit. I've still got some work on the bezel to do (finishing sanding, primer & paint). After finishing the ROM, a bit more work and I've got my ride "pimped". :D
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Quick question; where did you come from??? This the first time you've posted here because I don't recognize the username from anything previous.

[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
That's the best way to do it!
[Android Head-Units] Firewater Burns:
So, I skimmed this thread once, I skimmed this thread twice,

I purchased a unit, then scanned the thread thrice.

I sat down and tried to read the thread in one sitting, and it all blurred together, only remembering bits and pieces. I have the unit up and running on the bench and I am trying to figure out the best way to proceed; from out of the box, to loaded up with Tuatara's nice looking new ROM here. I should still update the MCU to v34, then load Tuatara's custom Rom, correct? From what I understand from the wiki, there shouldn't be anything more needed?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
So. Someone will surely format this and add it to the wiki with links to these posts, correct??
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Very Dr. Seuss ... I approve.

Best procedure:

Bring up the unit from STOCK first.

If you wish to only use the android box, connect up a 12V/1A centre-tip positive (or better) power supply to the unit.

Use a mini HDMI cable to connect to a monitor.

Use a keyboard/mouse wireless combo in the host port, and you're ready to test.

If you wish to use the head unit, connect a +12V/3A (or better) power supply - a PC ATX supply is perfect) to the red and yellow power wires.

Connect speakers (4Ohm are best) if you've got them.

Hook up the android box through the firewire cable.

Now you're ready as if it were in the car - touchscreen and all.

Once you've got the unit going, have a play.

Put the MCU update on the SDCard.

Select the MCU update.

Update to v34.

Now you're up to date.

Connect up the OTG USB (mini USB) to your PC, and install all drivers as per Wiki or in thread (rockchip for adb, recovery, etc.)

Ensure you can connect to the device over adb. (i.e. adb shell).

Install RKBatchTool1.6

Click "switch" and make sure the android box restarts and you get a green box shown. (check drivers if not!)

Select your ROM image.

Flash the ROM by clicking RESTORE to update. It will reboot automatically.

Enjoy your new ROM.

Customization time:

Install FactoryTool 4.4, and modify the ROM to your liking.

Select Image. Click Switch, Restore, and flash your new ROM.

(lather, rinse, repeat the last two steps as much as needed)

The Tuatara ROM is version 1.1.4, which is based off the latest STOCK ROM from Newsmy. This ROM should be used with v34 of the MCU, however v32 would be entirely compatible from what I can determine. Which one you choose to use depends on your specific experience (screen flickering/etc.) of which I've not experienced anything like it.

Hi there everyone I need some help here. I had purchased a variation of NU3001 but mine has two physical knobs I think its this model NU5261S-H-H0 I believe this model is for vw's and my ride is a jetta. Purchased it over taobao however as the instruction are in Chinese.

Took the unit to a garage to get it installed everything went on fine except for the Steering wheel function according to the installer they are unable to located the wires for the unit to be connected to steering wheel. So as it stands I can't use that function.

I tried to get in touch with the seller but unfortunately they must be on a long Chinese lunar new year holiday. It's gonna take a while for them to get back to me.

Could somebody pls pls post a picture of these wires so I could show the guys from the garage what it looks like.

Thanks in advance for your kind help
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Load of thanks. THIS IS AWESOME that CWM is now available. I just updated, installed, and configured everything on my unit. But this well deserves a fresh install and re-configuration. THANKS AGAIN.

[MENTION=3990462]janla[/MENTION]: I tested two Huawei E367 dongles (one SIM locked and other unlocked). The third one was also Huawei, but I cannot remember for sure which model it was. If I had to take a guess, it'd be E1820.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
ClockworkMod is very important for me, as I won't want to be spending so much time re-configuring android every time a new STOCK ROM is available. It will have been worth the upfront effort.

I plan to always make an updated version available shortly after any new STOCK ROM release.

It's there now ... it just took it's sweet time over a slow ADSL connection from home.
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
Just power it via the mini-usb port. If you have any devices that use USB, you should have a spare mini USB cable and power supply. The unit needs at least 500mA to run, but the power supply I use is 1200mA, so you aren't stuck using one specific power supply.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Huawei 3G modem configuration

I'm using a Huawei E1552 without issues. Network is automatically available every time at startup.

Remember you do need to put the dongle into modem-only mode, and disable the fake CD-ROM and USB Storage enhancements.

Assuming Windows: Go to your PC, install the modem. Determine the Serial Port used through Device Manager. Get a Serial Terminal program - Putty is recommended. Connect to the serial port. Enter "AT", and you should receive a response "OK". Then enter "AT^U2DIAG=0" to put the Huawei device permanently into modem-only mode. Unplug, and put into your android device.

Assuming Linux: Find out the USB interface of the device by doing ls /dev/ttyUSB* - probably /dev/ttyUSB0. Then enter: echo "AT^U2DIAG=0^M" > /dev/ttyUSB0. Note that ^M is [Ctrl+V followed by Ctrl+M], but ^U is just normal text. This should switch the Huawei device permanently into modem-only mode. Unplug, and put into your android device.

I have problem with repack you firmware version by FFT (v 4.4). I can repack any another fw (stock, debloated, own).

What i do:

- change "boot painting" :)

- add a few twicks and changes to build.prop

- change "parameters" for 2Gb (for me its enougth)

- repack and get fail message

Question to all who have the device on the table.

1. It is necessary to conduct in-depth study of IR-sensor. It is or it is not? I tried to teach some ir-remote, but it was all to no avail. (see attach)

2. Who has microtester if you can measure the presence of signals on the wires txd rxd (see wiki) when touching the touch screen? There is an idea to make friends with our device with DVB-T2 receiver and make the management through touchscreen, like it was on my previous (TCC8935) HU.

I have connected a 1TB external drive to the USB port of my NU-EX3001, but discovered that the drive (/mnt/usb_storage) is mounted as read-only when I tried to delete some files through ES File Manager.

Is there also a way to backup my current full image with all my already made settings to go back if needed?

Yes this version of TomTom is not available in our country to download, it's just for testing available in Italy, but I have the apk 1.3 if you want to test it.

We need to find out the right maps to use and the directory structure to install... waiting for answer [MENTION=318465]Khael[/MENTION] :)

Or maybe Tuatara can help us to import the GPS HAL from CWM11 into our image to solve our problems with the "no gps signal" error on tomtom.

I continue to hope for a solution.

My unit wont power up off the mini USB port, it will only power up off the host USB port, but then I have video issues when I connect it to my tv, where the video cuts out and rarely gives me a constant image. Figured it was due to power issues
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Fourth!!
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
First off, Tuatara, you are GOD. Can't thank you enough for this. If you ever make it to Barcelona burgers and beers are on me. Also thanks for the detailed instructions about the USB modem - I have two different Huawei and they are both come-and-go, sometimes they work sometimes they don't.

JrOmnia, your Jetta doesn't have resistive SWCs and the VW-specific version of the Newsmy you bought doesn't need them. it should pick everything up from the car's CANbus using the adapter that's built in. Look around in your settings there should be a way to enable it.

For those having trouble with the Android Box shutting off right after bootup when connected to your TV, it's because your power supply doesn't have enough current. Use a USB wall charger with lots of current capability (like for an iPad or Nexus 6).

I've just spent a few days on a road trip that was mostly frustrating because nothing worked - the NU3001 lost its 3G connection and wouldn't get it back, then it stopped getting a GPS fix all of a sudden. No idea what's going on there but I'm hopeful now that we have a ROM rockstar (and RDS, and Other Android And Ebedded Stuff) on the case our little head units will finally get the software they deserve.

[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Power Supply ...

I wouldn't necessarily recommend powering the android box in this way. In theory the specifications for the USB OTG port are 500mA current DRAW and current SOURCE (USB specification). If you have ANYTHING plugged in to the Host USB port, then this will draw additional current, above what the android box is already using/requiring - potentially exceeding the 500mA "design" limit.

Now, being a hardware engineer, I know these ports are generally over-specified, to compensate for poorly regulated power supplies, but that still isn't a reason to abuse the specifications. Get a 12V/1.5A power supply (interchangeable tips), put in the appropriate tip, center positive, and you're good to go. The internal regulator in the android box is designed for +12V (car battery) regulation down to a CLEAN +5V for use, and the android box will be MUCH happier to get power in this way. How well regulated to a clean +5V is that (cheap) wall wart you got for $10? How much is the unit worth to you?

Added bonus by buying a real power supply, you have it available for any other device which may need power, and you can always pull it out again when you're updating your android box. It's worth the investment in 'the right tools for the job'.

Not everything should be a hammer.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

I've tried this myself, and you're right. There must have been an error somewhere in my repacking of the ROM image.

I've also decided that all non-stock, non-root support APKs should be moved to the /system/preinstall directory, instead of being system apps. This again was an image packing oversight of mine ... and the APKs really should be moved.

I've rebuilt and repackaged the ROM, tested modifications using FactoryTool 4.4, and they're working fine. I've also changed the parameters to include the kernel.img in the image itself.

ROM Update: update-1.1.4.2-tuatara.img is presently uploading to my Google Drive - from my slow ADSL connection at home. It should be there in about half an hour from now.

Flashing ClockworkMod ...

Thanks. I'm always happy to give back and spread knowledge.

A 'guru' who hoards and protects their knowledge is one who is afraid of other's abilities.

So, to answer your question ... of course!

You can back up your current image using my ClockworkMod!

I've uploaded the recovery.img partition as a stand-alone flashable partition on my Google Drive.

In order to flash a single partition, have a look at this website: http://radxa.com/Rock/flash_the_image

All the tools you need are available there, with instructions. Flash ONLY the recovery partition.

Download a Reboot to Recovery tool (any in the Play Store should work).

Reboot into ClockworkMod recovery and back up your current device.

I haven't tried this using the available tools, but there is no reason it wouldn't work.

Alternatively, if you're comfortable using "adb shell", you can flash the image yourself. (My preferred way)

Download the recovery.img file to your computer, and execute the following:

adb push recovery.img /mnt/external_sd/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/recovery bs=4096

The first command copies up the recovery.img file to your external SDCard.

The second command will replace the existing recovery partition with my ClockworkMod recovery one.

Then ... reboot into recovery, and perform your backups!

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Yeah ... I saw that too. Already fixed in 1.1.4.2.

This was all due to the same error I'd made when finalizing the ROM. I mistakenly put the APKs into the wrong folder for the final build for XDA.

Try to be OVERLY careful, and still screw it up ... slightly. :)

The new ROM is now up on the Google Drive. Download away!

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Thank you.

I built the ROM for myself first, and secondly for everyone who would benefit. From taking the plunge and purchasing the first units, through continuous stock & ROM releases, communication and updates from Newsmy, you've all done so much to convince me to purchase one myself. It's a fantastic device, an elegant design and implementation, and I'm proud to try to help make this a very successful product for Newsmy in any way I can.

While I would LOVE to be in Barcelona again, New Zealand is a bit of a swim & hike too far away.

So instead, if you want to buy me a beer, I've added a 'Donate' link in my signature.

All I can say is ... Cheers!
