Your archive almost certainly contains the entire AOSP source and probably isn't needed.

While it might be time consuming, if you ran a diff from current AOSP source and figure out which repos need to be tracked seperate from AOSP, you could build a git project that pulls from AOSP source for the bulk of the code, and only from the project git for packages that track for the device.

I used to work on AOKP quite a bit (been too busy of late, haven't coded in almost a year), but if you look at our github repo and the manifest, you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about.

https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest

I don't have one of these yet (I have an AN-21u and am reasonably happy with it. It's major fault of course if lack of source to build with ... The fact that you guys have made it this far is making me want to jump in.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
This unit has so much potential, it is very stable as is, without too much modding and there are a few cons and it looks like the company is working to resolve some of them. Very beautify and well made unit.

Red have been working hard on improving the rom, if we can get more devs on board that would be great and another reason is that we have the source codes!!!

Bonsoir,

It was a long and winding road to get these 10 files... (very strange problems with ftp, had to do it manually on another machine).

Next step, they were assembled to a tgz, unzipped and I got a huge bunch of folders /files (44770 folders , 408635 files).

I am not afraid, but this is not in my "culture"...

In this project, I can help as alphatester (the HU is in my wife's car, and the only thing she really needs is the backup camera ).

Nice to see here famous users showing their nose (excuse if the expression seems out of place, in french, it is meant to be friendly)

edit: in fact, the specific apps are in \kk4.4.2-rk\packages\apps\BonovoApps\

it seems some of them were adapted by would-be-beginners....

Man it has been an awesome week here on our little thread! We got a firmware update to fix one of the biggest complaints, have pretty much figured out the mic situation, we have our own ROM genius, and now he's found the source (I don't wanna know how that happened). :) This head unit is going to become an amazing platform.

I have updated the original post to reflect all the good info in here and to act as kind of an index.

I think it's great that we've asked for a forum here, and we all love XDA; but to be honest I'm not sure it's the best platform for a community working on a device like this. And I doubt anyone is looking forward to a dozen posts like [OMG][SLICKANDSEXY][4.4.2.XTRA][DEODEXED][REODEXED][LMNOP][ALPHA][DONT_INSTALL]. Probably a lot of our info here would be good in a wiki, at least.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
A wiki is likely more than sufficient for now. Even as promising as the platform appears to be, you'll likely never have more than 1 or 2 people producing ROMS for it. This is truly a niche market within niche markets :)

You can certainly use the wiki system within XDA , and simply provide a link to it in the OP. And or course, any member here can edit/maintain the wiki.

I'd start here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Generic_Android_Head_Unit

And then create a device specific page for this unit and build from there.

P.S. I'm still on the fence about jumping in on this unit. Not because I have any doubt about it, but my An-21U basically gets the job done for me. I'm not entirely sure that I get enough extra function/feature for the effort. Not to mention that It appears to have jumped up to $679.00 USD on Aliexpress.

I do like the better resolution though, and that's tempting ;)

Hi guys !

I'm the developper of a companion app for android smartwatch: SWApp Link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.swapps.link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2710111

you can try it already to get your phone notifications on your head unit. (keep in mind that the ui is designed for a smartwatch screen so far)

i'm about to order one of those units to start developping a specific version of the app for android head units.

some of the features could be usefull on a head unit. and i have other specific features in mind.

for information i will order it from Spain as i live in France. i hope it won't take too long to be delivered.

So I got mine 5$ USB sound card in. Its a Cmedia chip set and the most common one in existence as far as I can tell.

It worked immediately and became default for sound in and out.

I already knew that OK Google would work and it did, unfortunately I still can't get the hotword on any screen option to appear..grr..I know my account is enabled for it since its on my nexus and I know I'm up to date on Google search. Not sure what's going on there. Anyone else have the OK google anywhere hotword option on the h/u?

Did find out that the bonovo Bluetooth dialer is already a registered dialer. I can ask Google now to call one if my google contacts and it brings up the dialer just like a phone. This is awesome!!! :thumbup:

My next trick is convincing alsa to ignore other output devices and use only the mic in USB devices.

Taking things a bit slow this weekend. Its been a crazy week. Just wanted to say hi since I noticed some new (old? ) faces.

Probably going to take a stab at alsa tomorrow. Even though we now have full sources, for the time being I will continue to work on amplified as a customized stock ROM. There's really not much need for us to build the whole thing from sources right off the bat. I'm not even sure that I could right now given the computer specs that are apparently needed to compile the whole system.:eek: The kernel itself and bonovo apps I can probably do something with now.

Now I'm going to make a rum and coke and enjoy a Saturday night :beer:
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I wasted a whole day. I set out with only two tasks. One was to connect my sub and the other was to install my new reverse camera. Both failed big time. The sub never wor and the reverse camera blew a fuse so I had to fix another problem. I think I can figure out the reverse camrra issue.

The sub on the other hand, ill need some advice. I have the infinity basslink, no amp just that. I tried the aux out using an rca cable and that did not work. Anyone know why or what im doing wrong?

[IMG="basslink"]http://media.lxforums.com/images/DMAG/basslink/basslink-rear-panel.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Not sure. I've tried the line outs on mine and they work, at least connected to my home stereo. Have you tested those on something else yet? I'm assuming the sub isn't new?
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Yeah, the sub just worked with my old HU....im hoping it is not the connectors....as the reverse camera did not work either....hmm how can I test the connectors to see if that is the problemd of female.

also using this adapter as I think they switched up the aux out to be a male instead of female

[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
On this sub, there should be a led active when power is on.

a) do you see something?

b)I suppose you checked the fuse?

c) you may have to use the "REM" to activate the sub (there is a "Amp" wire from the HU for this purpose).

Once checked the power and wake up via this led, you can check wich rcaplug is working (no danger if it is not the right one)

and adjust manually rhe level...

How does the MCU trigger the box to go to sleep? to shutdown after two hours? I'd rather it just stayed awake for the two hours before shutdown so I can transfer files to it from inside the house with WiFiDroid
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I haven't looked into what command is sent, but in the recent MCU/firmware there is a command to specify the time. When I get a chance I'll install the recent code and figure out what they are using.

One thing I did on my setup is just keeping it from going into airplane mode when the screen goes off. I think having a timer for a configurable option on this would be good.
[Android Head-Units] [Bob]:
Thank you, that worked great. However being a trigger for a key press, so like a toggle, it's easy that the functions could also work backwards depending on the initial state of the unit, muted or unmuted. Is there a way to set a true / false state for it ? Or what would be the code for volume up ? I tried googling but found nothing.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The code involved (here for your perusal: https://github.com/Nu3001/packages_...m/bonovo/bonovohandle/HandleService.java#L127)

Does not have the type of function you want just yet. It's a key event handling routine, as you already know from the intent. You can add some code and specific intent in here if you want to :)

Do you have solutions for me?

[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Awesome. I'm going to do some testing with the dongle today. It has (I believe) always been in the OTG port. And I have been plugging my phone and modem into the host port because it has more current available than the lighter adapter and keeps the devices charged. It's all starting to make sense.

Next time you're in Barcelona the beers are on me.

Yet another Bluetooth question

I have read thru the forum and the duplication of contacts if synched from the stock handsfree bluetooth app is well known. My situation: I have installed ExDialler, as suggested by some in order to avoid messing my contacts.

My issue is, when I want to dial a contact from ExDialler, (and with phone connected to handsfree Bluetooth in unit – NOT connected to android side), I get error message in exDialler: ‘No mobile network available’.

Is this because I am not connected to Android Bluetooth as well as the handsfree one in the unit? If so, how can I connect to the android Bluetooth? I have pared phone with it, but the Android side and phone just do not connect. Connecting to the handsfree side of the unit is no issue.

How are all of you connecting to your phone and using exDialler?

My setup:

Head unit: NU5002 (running Zaphod-Beeblebrox’s Alpha rom – no root)

phone: Sony xperia Z2 (root)
[Android Head-Units] [Bob]:
That's perfect. Thanks ! If "android.intent.action.BONOVO_UPDATEVOLUME_KEY" has the same effect as when I touch the volume slider in the middle on the unit ( it un-mutes without changing volume ) then I'm all set and I can make the unit silent when nothing is going through the speakers, silence :D
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Actually I don't think so. UPDATE_VOLUME_KEY is an intent that I added for NavBar changes. I needed an intent that showed the volume slider without making any other changes to the volume state. It does not unmute/add/sub any volume. It simply shows the slider.

In my navbar changes, I removed the Add/Sub volume buttons and replaced them with one button. a single press launches the slider, but I increased the size of the slider, and moved it to the bottom of the screen, so immediately after pressing the volume button, the slider is in very close proximity to your finger. Long pressing the Volume button launches the MUTE intent.

What is probably needed here is an extra flag in the mute intent. Something like Intent.putextra("FORCE"). The code would then check for the "FORCE" flag and not just TOGGLE MUTE, but force MUTE.

We could also probably use a SET_VOLUME intent that used an extra to pass a direct volume amount.

I'll look into it at some point if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

2) See V. CONT +12V and Reverse connection in the wiki
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
3rd part caller is needed only for possibility to make calls from address book or for seeing list of users while pressing dialer number buttons.

There are issues when phone IS connected to BTHFD, but you can not make call from HU. Mostly at these cases, if you will take look on Bluetooth app, you will see status - Unlinked. Phone feels connected tu HU, but HU "is not" or does not feel connected to phone.

One way what you can do - make call from phone. Everything will work fine and you'll be making conversation trough HU. Usually after call, bluetooth app shows - Linked.

Other way - turn bluetooth connection on HU (or phone) off and on, while HU shows statuss - Linked.

Hey guys

before i posted a problem with my android box, after some contact with the guys in spain,

so, exclusivecarauto, thanks !
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
So I got the head unit wired and mounted in my dash last night. It for too late to finish. Plus.... I had a question

I purchased a good quality rear view can(license plate style? And I'm am wondering the best way to connect it to the hu

I realize on the harness with all the video in's has a 12v line which seems to be continuous 12 volt. My vehicle doesn't appear to have a line out for reverse signal. So my question is.... Would I be able to connect the rear view can to that continuous feed of power? That way I can use the rear view can anytime, not just when in reverse?
[Android Head-Units] mos33y:
Thanks for your reply.

So does everyone use third party diallers such as exdialler to only 'view' contacts - not to dial out with?

[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
You can permanently wire it to accessories so it comes on whenever the car is turned on.

A better way is to power it off the reverse lights wire, then it only turns on when the reverse lights are on (eg: when you put it into reverse)
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
Wire it to accessories? I'm not sure I understand what you mean? I'm asking about the wires that come out of the white harness with all the video in inputs. Basically asking if those wires coming OUT of the head unit supply power. So basically of the hu is on, then the camera would also be on. If this is the case, I am going to run the wiring from inside my rear gate(license plate cam is in the center of my rear gat/back door) all the way to the front of the vehicle. This would be my preferred method, allowing me to use the rear view cam without needing to be in reverse. I am not able to know if my vehicle has a reverse signal indicator wire in the dash. The original stereo is old(2006) and was never designed to have a video input, so I think the car doesn't send a signal to notify anything else that putting the transmission in reverse has happened.

If I am being told " no don't wire it up for constant power, that will be bad for the car/hu/camera to run all the time" than I will not run wires from back to front(not yet) will first use a wireless video transmitter which will live inside the back gate, and wire to the rear lights, only receiving power to transmit video signal when the rear lights go on in reverse. Still would have to wire the wireless receiver in the dash to something(I'm thinking continuous power) but it would save me the hastle of running video/power wire through the interior of vehicle. This method still doesn't provide me an ideal setup, because it is not going to be an always on configuration.

My 2006 Mercury Mariner is a pain to find resources for as far as wiring diagrams. I am having difficulty finding proper guide on how to wire things. There are still three wires that were not needed to attach to in order to get my hu connected, all 4 car speakers working, illumination working with car lights on. My radio FC's when I open the radio app, and not sure why as I have the stock radio antenna plugged in directly to the hu. One of the three remaining wires from the car, not being used, is a brown and pink wire, which had a twin for one of the rear negative speakers. The other is for an amp power on, the other is black and green.... Which also had a twin and was used previously as a ground(per the only wiring diagram I was able to get printed by a Best Buy car audio installer)

It would cost me $120 to take it to Best Buy and have them do the camera install.... Really want to avoid doing that. But if that is the easiest way to get it installed with continuous power so I can see out rearview cam anytime and it be just clicking the correct app button within android, and have it so it auto turns on when put into reverse(because I can't tell how to do that right now) than it may be what I do. I hate connecting this without know what it will do, and obviously want things to work and not burn out any devices or fuses along the way
[Android Head-Units] [Bob]:
Hey, I'm not sure what Amego is but if you're referring to the navigation software, I use Waze, the one you see on my screen, and I also installed Nokia Here Maps and works without issues.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Sorry, I was refering to the camera itself, powering it off the switched 12v line rather than off a constant 12v. You don't want it draining your battery while the car is off.

I still think powering the camera off the reversing lights line is better unless you really want to be able to switch to the camera at any time.

As for the reverse wire that goes into headunit itself, there must be a switch in the gear shift that tells the car to turn on the reversing lights.

You must be able to tap into that wire somewhere. I'd suggest locating a wiring diagram for your car and using that find the wire to tap into.

The illumi wire = illumination connects to your cars "radio illumination" wire. You need to locate that wire from your vehicle. It will turn the lights on when you turn your car headlights on. There is a setting in the MCU app that will allow you to control the brightness

I just tried ZB's new-from-source ROM. It's the first time I've ever done an update from rkbatchtool, I've always done it via SD before.

It seemed to go OK but on restarting the NU3001 I saw the new boot screen and now this...

Is this normal? I sort of expected it to just boot into the OS.

How long should I have to wait? It's been about 30 minutes.

Pulled the plug after an hour and it booted right up on the second try. Looks great, can't wait to start playing with it.

Glad it's up and running. Not sure why the update hung like that. I've always used RKBatchtool to do my updates and didn't have any issues when starting this.

Let me know how the Extensible buttons work for you. I'm personally loving them, but I might need to tweak the intent launchers a bit to make sure we capture all the popular apps (for example, PowerAmp is not responding to the music intent, so I'm using google music - would rather use Power amp :))

Were you coming from stock or one of the other builds on here?

I'd like to try ZB's ROM as well. Just don't have to time to try and flash it right now before I head off to Paris later. (in case something screwy happens with it)

How are you liking it so far? ROOT and everything works 'out of the box'?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
So far so good. I'm going to disable the navbar because I'm using Automate for the launcher, so no real feedback to report on that. It feels quite a bit quicker to me, not sure why that would be.

EXCEPT. My ****ing dongle STILL doesn't work. It behaves exactly the same way as before. The same dongle works on other devices, the same SIM card works in other devices. Both together worked fine with the old 1.0x ROMs. This is sooo infuriating.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You can set the Navbar to immersive mode (don't disable). Go to settings/UserInterface.

I don't really understand the Dongle issue. The underlying framework is 1.0.9, which you stated worked for you. You can browse through the repo's at github and see what we changed/upgraded from 1.0.9. either that, or there is something else going on.
