I have official 1.1.3, but i delete chinasoft, buildin kernel logo, repartition "data" upto 2Gb. It seems that already work normal. But i have a few small problem in start day of testing.

1. some times i get a message - "SD card was removed"

2. small flickering display with quiet clicks - reconnect firewire solve this problem

Before i read here what for "auto adjust volume" need connect V. CONT 12V - Vehicle Speed Sensor - see wiki

Today i test it and can say, that on 1.1.3 firmware - auto adjusting volume work on GPS signal. i not have connected V-CONT-12v wire. I have only checking Auto Volume checkbox, and move volume slider on max. When my car have speed 100 km/h ( in Moscow :) ) sound volume increase approx 150% from normal soumd level.

PS. I rooting (after "burning" new firmware) by Kingo Root. All was normal, i have SuperSu, full root. But i have problem with "You need to update su application". While i try update su (by normal way) - i have "failed" message. Any way all applications with needed root permitions (Terminal, EZ File Explorer, HideSoftKeys) - works fine!

Excuse Me. I'm not writing in English, and even forgot the lens

You could always contact Summer and explain how having a custom ROM would make their units more saleable, add extra features, save them some development costs and point out that some Chinese phone manufacturers (such as Oppo, their subsidary OnePlusOne, Meizu etc, actively encourage custom ROM builders for these very reasons. You may get some help, of course, you may not, but its worth asking.

Auto Tethering?

I bought the "NU5261S for VW universal" version of this pure android headunit - install was very easy and it's nice and responsive.

I'm tethering it to an iphone (4S / ios7) and both WiFI hotspot and bluetooth tethering work. One thing that is bugging me however is that I have to manually connect each time I get in the car. I'd much prefer it to auto connect. I've given the "Bluetooth Auto Connect app from the play store a go, but it doesn't seem to behave very predictably - the one time I did get it to connect it was very slow to determine it could do so. Anyone have any other recommendations?

An option similar to that available on Mac and PC of tethering an iPhone by USB (as I'll usually have it connected charging in the glovebox to the android box) would also be attractive - but I can't find any indication there's an app that exists to support this on Android.

For anyone who is looking for info on how the CANBUS integration works for the VW model, here are my initial findings.: Generally everything works, but it can be a bit glitchy:

* Aircon display, looks good and works well but appears to present itself randomly on occasion

* Parking sensor display - Looks nice and displays all proximities correctly, though it doesn't always appear on screen and can dismiss too early (audible warnings are unaffected)

* Door open image - Didn't expect this, but a door open image appears on screen when you open the door (much like it does in the dash display). On occasion appears to remain present when it shouldn't.

Overall I'm pretty happy so far, though I haven't driven with it much yet. Hopefully the above won't grate too much if there aren't MCU updates to rectify CANBUS glitches. On that note, anyone know which updates can be applied to the VW specific units. I'm guessing not the MCU as the VW unit likely has CANBUS specifics in it?

Music

Ok so is there a great app that lets me listen to music stream through Bluetooth off my phone. Or would it be easier to put my music onto the unit itself and just use any music player. If that is the case how would i add music to the unit itself, also just received mine cant wait to install it after i get back from my trip next week.

Put your music on an SD card

Put the SD in the Android box.

Pick a music player.

you can stream your music from the phone using the bluetooth app (music section) in the unit. You can add music to the unit by SD card or usb drive or even download it from an internet connection.

so then how do i connect it to computer and head unit at the same time

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

What drivers do i need so that my windows 8.1 computer can detect the android box
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
FireWire cable to show screen on H/U and give power to android box + MicroUSB cable to computer

The microUSB cable to the computer does not deliver power. The NORMAL USB does deliver power and will hard-brick your android box.

so:

FireWire + MicroUSB = OK

MicroUSB + 5V/12V-2A = OK

USB + MicroUSB = OK (I connect it on this way with the HDMI connected to my TV)

FireWire + 5V/12V-2A power = NOT OK

FireWire + USB = NOT OK

USB + 5V/12V-2A = NOT OK

Do not use the OTG cable to connect to your computer. But use an normal MicroUSB to USB cable.

You are asking a lot of very basic questions that have already been asked many times already, how about you read the first page, then the wiki and then the entire thread, once youve done that, then ask questions ?
[Android Head-Units] :
i did and i run into problems like adb installer says drivers are incompatible with win8 x64

also i just want to make sure i understand correctly sorry my asking question is a bother to you but i would like to fully understand my unit and not accidentally destroy it good day sir
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Out of interest how do you know the ones listed as not OK will brick your device? Concerned if I connect a powered USB hub whilst its powered by the head unit. Also still thinking of a power bank to extend the standby time.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I have a vw specific model, and mine reacts the same... hope they bring it the ability to turn off some of the canbus notifications, like the door open one, I have that on my dash, not really needed on my radio lol.

Also the ability to turn off backup camera would be nice too!

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Hey Gregspam, I have a vw model as well, and I've upgraded it to the latest mcu listed on the wiki and I'm running the amplified cfw currently. My guess is they are making software and mcu for multi platform setups and not doing specific mcu/firmware for individual pure android models. Just a guess tho.

I experience the same issues as you when it comes to the door open notification, sometimes it stays on screen and you have to manually turn it off. Other than that I'm really happy that they actually got the radio to function correctly with the canbus system, as my huifei unit didn't quite work correctly. The accessory power wasn't working right with that unit ever, so bad that I replaced their external canbus with one of my own. This radio, doesn't have that issue at all, and I was shocked. Worried it would and knowing it was integrated meant id likely hahave to live with it.

I have tried this method, i did a restore from the "RKBatchTool v1.6" to stock rom 1.1.3.

But as mentioned before when trying to open supersu after root i get the following error
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Updated 1.1.3 from renedis..

I had to re-root it but it seems to be working

Now I cam across a alert saying I was almost out of drive space.. I had a bit too many apps on the unit I guess as that portion was almost full
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Have you opened supersu since re - root, if so has it asked to update su binary? If so did it update?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks

Also which root method did you use?
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Yes, after I re-rooted I updated the SU Binary.. no issues

I used Kingo Root
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I wonder why I can't do the same? Any attempt to update the SU binary fails on my device.

I've had this problem since coming from Red's ROM to stock 1.1x. The SU binary can't/won't update on mine once I update the SuperSU app from whatever one gets installed from Kingo.....
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I'm have the same problem. I just don't bother updating the app in the playstore, if you have just remove the update in supersu app info.

Not sure if not having the update will cause any issues but everything seems to be fine without.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Can you upload photo of the canbus decoder, and of the sticker of it if have
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Everything so far is fine except for BusyBox won't install. It's looking for the updated binary (on my unit at least).

I'm thinking this is a temporary thing though. As more ROOT apps start looking for the updated binaries, we're going to be in trouble eventually.

Can anyone tell me, where the bootanimation.zip is located on this unit? i would like to extract the bootanimations from a huifei img and replace mine with a car logo
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Ok. I have built TWRP and have it booting. However, I don't have something set up properly with the init.rc and/or fstab, as it doesn't see all of the mount points and is giving me invalid block device errors.

Also regarding the huifer bootanimation, i think huifei use a bootanimation, and add a top layer with the car logo.

Just ask Bockywocky from this thread.. He toasted his android box by doing this.

After you did the update, did you REMOVE SuperSU from your device? Or, did you just update and then run KingoROOT to ROOT it?

Any luck with getting ahold of Summer about this?

+1 for another user running [MENTION=349778]renedis[/MENTION] "Custom ROM". Just installed from stock 1.1.2 and everything is working. Well, everything but ROOT that is.

I'm not sure how to proceed now since I've got previous ROOT problems. My SuperSU app is still on the device.

So, do I root with the KingoROOT app? Do I try the other ROOT app that was mentioned here? Do I try to remove the SuperSU app from the device?

Arggghhhh...... lol
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Here is what I did.. ( might help others too)

- I started with 1.1.1 ROM ( Stock that was rooted with Kingo Root)

- I installed the 1.1.3 ROM from renedis

- it was installed VIA the SD card

- I found it would not update the binary with the ROM installed

- Rooted with Kingo

- I did not uninstall any prior to running Kingo

- Super SU then was able to update

that was all I did

Have you changed your boot animation ?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
The only step that you are missing here is did you update the SuperSU app via the play store?

Because I have tried everyway possible (I think?) Including your method, but once the app is updated via the play store it fails to update the binary.

Please confirm that you have do this, sorry if a come across pushy, but I spent a lot of time trying to root this F$$king thing!!!

Thanks mate
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Not missing because I did not update it
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Probably best not to.... but if you wanted to try it, it is easily reversed, using "Supersu" App info and uninstall update.

Sorry people, but I'm giving up on AOKP for a while. I never really get to use my head unit as I keep flashing it, and never really get to set it up to my liking. This type of work was never my specialty, and I'm just spinning my wheels. Tired of hacking at it by myself.

If someone else wants to pick up where I left off, my code is available here:

https://github.com/Zaphod-Beeblebrox/platform_manifest

TWRP compiles, but gives partition/block errors.

The system image will boot (if you pack it with a boot/recovery image from a working system), but it has driver issues as well.

Maybe I'll look again after a break.

Unfortunately its built into the radio no external box on my newsmy unit.

Also, I went on a slight road trip today, and I decided to try to hook the bt of the android box to the hu itself, which it connected fine. Then whenever my Gps app would send out voice guidance, it would mute the radio app and the voice would be heard, only problem, it was echoing as the bt didn't mute the gps app itself in the hu itself, so the hu & android box were sending the same voice twice. Causing one annoying echo, so I turned off bt lol

[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmmmmm no, wasn't aware that was an option, will have to check thanks!

Does each app have its own volume setting? My huifei unit does, so curious if this does as well, would be nice it I can turn down tthe radio / bt / auxin so the GPS volume is louder
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The Radio and the Phone BT app have their own volume.

I'm still waiting for the tuner and my NU3001 to arrive. On my old AN21-U unit I was using a SMA amplified digital antenna and reception was great. I'm also curious how it will turn out as the TV tuner has a MCX plug, so I have to use a MCX to SMA adapter. Everything should work as long as there are drivers on the android box.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I had issues with skins not working, not ram issue which sounds like possibly a sys file error. Which version of Igo are you using? jpapadami upload a copy that they had and its working perfectly on my unit, little different interface than what I'm use to but makes the software feel newer and looks cleaner too.

I may make a dummy Google drive account and upload a map stripped version. Might take a while to upload on my slow 1mbps upload lol. Its about a 230meg 7zip file.
[Android Head-Units] parazit26:
I have tried different versions. Also the one that was running on my huifei. i checked the sys.txt before and there is no text. Maybe it's because IGO couldn't startup yet? Can you also upload your sys.txt? :)
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I'm going to upload the version I have with no maps or poi. In order for it to work tho, the version requires the soft keys to be turned off. Otherwise it gives a resolution error due to the soft keys being on the screen. So not overly useful to ones who require the softkeys.

No that is not possible with a standard android stick.

The android box needs to have a "THine THCV219" chip to transmit the video/audio data via a firewire cable to the HU. The HU has a "THine THCV220" chip to receive this data.
