Xposed/Gravity Box has many useful functions. In my case (NU5002), I need the Nav bar, but I don't need the status bar (do I really need to see Wifi status while driving?). So I used the 'Expanded' Desktop mode with Status Bar off. I can still get to the status bar when needed, by simply swiping down from top of screen. Same can be done for Nav-Bar (basically an Auto-Hide Navbar function). Thus your Menu key will be avail when needed, but the entire navbar hidden when not.

When it comes to me & screen real estate, I subscribe to the theory, "if some's good, then more is better". Actually, I think I subscribe to that in a lot of things :)

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

These are just a couple of the functions that were built into AOKP (and other ROMS), that were done in more integrated fashion. It's the reason I spent so much time trying to make AOKP work. At the end of the day, however, Xposed modules do replicate alot of the functions that were originally debuted with custom ROMS.

Gravity Box even has a setting to put an 'extra' button on the NavBar (I map it to WAZE for quick access to NAV). You can also adjust what the short/long/double press actions of each button do. The one thing you can't change is those stupid volume buttons (and yes, those will be the first thing I remove from the NavBar when I get to tinkering with SysUI.

Speaking of that. I have a thought/plan for how to use the NavBar in my custom Implementation. I'm thinking of using the Nav-Bar to replicate something like Android Auto:

[IMG="Android Auto"]http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/11/car_secondary_image-100532132-primary.idge.jpg[/IMG]

Where this has the circle Icon (for HOME I think), I will place the clock. Pressing the Clock would take you home. Long pressing the Clock would either bring up Recents or LastApp (I prefer LastApp, but maybe I make that selectable). I would still have to put a back button in there somewhere and possible a recents buttons (depending on how we use the Home/Clock).

Thoughts?

I messed up with the touchscreen.. Nothing works !

Hello, i was having some problems connecting this unit that i recently solved if you remember me, i then had my steering wheel controls and then i had problems with illumination that finally (since my car did not provide an illumination cable) making a loop i connected it to the blue wire (antenna power on) allowing the unit to switch off the illumination when pressing the power off button witch was very pleasing.. I then decided to make the next step and try to add a plastic film filter to the leds on the left side touch buttons... well the color matched perfectly but after some tryouts with the filters i noticed that the TOUCHSCREEN IS DEAD... :((((( everything else seems to work i mean the androidbox powers on fine the screen opens showing the wallpaper and apps i can play music through steering wheel controls but NOO TOUCHSCREEN whatsoever and NO LEFT BUTTONS WORKING !! what the hell ? what did i do ?? There is a circle black thing in the front left corner when you remove the front cover with the screen that i migtht touched with my screwdriwer by mistake but i cannot believe that i messed up witH the touchscreen and buttons in this way ! WTF ??? I checked to see if i had damaged the cables that connect the screen to mainboard but i cannot see anyhting... i was really cautious and careful i do not know what happened..ANY help ? ANY ideas ? i am completely miserable this moment i paid a fortune for adpaters etc to make this work and now this... Can anyone please tell me if i can buy a replacement without androidbox and cables ? I bought this unit through ebay seller TopNavi i had been waiting for months to arrive and paid 170 euros for taxes please does anyone know if there is a seller that can send this item from Europe ??? If i buy from Aliexpress which is as i understand more official, where is the shipment location ? China ? meaning i will have to pay taxes again..

Double check you have the ribbon cables all the way into their connectors and that they are the right way around. Sometimes they will feel like they are in but they aren't quite.

Cash Bounty for testing of DVR + CPU Intensive Computer Vision app via USB OTG Camera

Hello Android Head Unit Hackers! :D

My first question is this:

Can the Quad Core Newsmy NU3001 present an attached USB camera as a standard Android Front or Rear camera?

I've tested just about every video recording app on android, and except for a couple of rare apps that explicitly state USB OTC none of the popular DVR apps like DailyRoads will work using an OTG USB camera on a normal device like a Samsung Note 4 or Tab Pro.

However, it is well documented for the HuiFei Android head unit that DailyRoads works with USB cams. Some have stated DailyRoads on HuiFei works only at VGA (640x480) while another claims DailyRoads on HuiFei works with up to 1080P on logitech webcams albeit at half the normal frame rate (full frame rate at 720P). However IonRoad was claimed to NOT work for recording.

Does this same HuiFei-like mapping to the standard android camera work for USB cams on the Newsmy? Meaning, can I plug in a USB camera and have the OS and all apps see it as the normal internal camera so I can use any app with the camera like DailyRoads, IonRoad, Skype, etc?

Second question is about the ability to handle the CPU intensive loads of Ionroad alongside typical apps like Waze and Torque Pro and maybe a music app for good measure.

If someone has time to test it out, you can earn $20 via Paypal and the glory! ;) This will go to the first person who can test IonRoad working for both distance detection/lane drift and blackbox DVR recording on the Newsmy Quad core with Torque Pro running simultaneously! I'd like to know the CPU loads and if it's possible to run other apps like Waze on top of Torque and IonRoad (DVR blackbox + Land Drift and Distance Detection) and as a cherry on top a music app streaming or playing local files. I’d also be curious to know the resolutions that can recorded on IONroad and DailyRoads.

Thanks a bunch to you guys who take crappy stock Chinese software and turn it to silky smooth gold!

BT issues

I have same BT issues too time by time, but not so bad as with very first MCU and stock 1.0.9 ROM. I do not know where are implementations for BT (I think MCU is for that), but with MCU v.31 my BT problems gone away.

Now with v.34 they appeared again, but not so often.

I do sometimes, because it works with Viper, while PlayerPro doesn't (is it because own equalizer?).

We have a built in Music Player?!?! J/K No, never even touched it. I either use Google Play Music or PowerAmp.

Just "upgraded" to [MENTION=260727]Tuatara[/MENTION] 1.1.4.3.. I had no idea it would "wipe" the device. Unexpected. It was probably stated somewhere in this thread previously but as I've been so busy with work and home I must have missed it. Now I have to find the time to re-install all the Apps and configure everything all over again.

Not a complaint as I'm grateful for the ROM, just more of a Public Service Announcement in case anyone else missed whatever post was here stating that it wipes the device so you are prepared for it. ;)
[Android Head-Units] coyttl:
The first thing ANYONE should do upon rooting the device is to install TitaniumBackup, and backup your user apps & data..! Then, in case anything like this happens (expected or unexpectedly.. :D) you can simply restore everything within about thirty minutes you're good to go. :)
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I have 1GB unit, now flashed to your 1.1.4.3 ROM and MCU v.34. Only issue which I hadn't before, in my opinion is connected with Viper4A.

But with previous ROMs there wasn't Viper App, so I can not claim anything to only your rom :) Or, perhaps it's because my music are on 64Gb SD card? :confused:

The problem gets so that the audio occasionally begins to twitching, skipping. Sometimes it happens only couple of times in track, but sometimes

it is impossible to listen track and HU just begins freezing and stays very very slow. It seems like it is either short of memory or not enough of processor power.

Haven't get clear with it yet.

That is awesome, the though had crossed my mind if a webcam mic would show as available for Android.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Processor power should not be an issue with our units. This would probably be because I increased the memory usage for the Dalvik VM, and for graphics. I was worried it could be too aggressive for the 1Gb units, as they may run into memory starvation issues. I believe that for the future I will make a 1Gb and a 2Gb RAM version of the ROM (they are only build.prop changes).

The only other consideration is the quality/speed/etc. of the SDCard you're using in there. A 64Gb SDCard is not normally supported, as the SDHC format supported by the headunit only goes up to 32Gb. There are a few SDCards which work as SDHC at 64Gb, but it's also very possible that you're running into issues with that. I only use a 32Gb SDHC card, and then (will be) storing everything else on USB drive(s).

Guys,

These pictures I have uploaded shows the wiring harness of my NU5261 there are 6 wires attached to a connector which is incompatible with my car connector. Could anyone help me identify which are the steering wheel wires from those 6 wires.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
The NU5261 is designed for VW vehicles and has a built-in canbus decoder for SWC. I doubt it's going to have resistive wires too. Regardless, they aren't on that harness.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
In the MCU app on the page where you can adjust the color of the lighting (which DOES NOT WORK SO STOP ASKING, EVERYONE) there is an option to adjust the brightness. This setting does work. I put it at about 20% and it matches the brightness of the screen perfectly.

Bluetooth HFP

Hi

I recently reflashed my NU5261 with the 1.1.4.3 Tuatara rom. Everything works except for bluetooth from the headunit. I had to install the Bluetooth apk from the .system/app folder; though I alos found a Bonovobluetooth apk also. My phone pairs with the head unit, but I hear no audio when dialing. The Bluetooth app displays a message 'unlinked'

If I dial from the bluetooth app itself using the Phone keypad, I see an error 'HFP not connected'. I wonder how I can enable the HFP bluetooth profile so that my phone can stream telephony and audio?

I also need to use the keymap to re-enable the hardware buttons and edit the build.prop to set the correct (UK) timezone and remove the soft keys on screen. Otherwise the audio output using Viper for the Spotify app is fabuluos on the VW Golf stock speakers!

Many Thanks

Permanently powering the android box

To get around the (current) lack of options on how long to keep the android box running after the head unit screen shuts off, I was considering wiring up a permanent usb power supply from the car's 12v line, and using this to provide a permanent 5v usb input into the box's OTG port.

I'm wondering if this would work, or if I'm in danger of damaging the box by supplying this input at the same time as the power input from the firewire interface.

Has anyone tried anything like this?

Paul.

Ok, will wait for next rom.

Is HC/XC format and amount of card 32/64Gb soft or hardware related? I am using 64Gb Samsung SDXC card but formated as Fat32, because HU didn't recognize it as exFat.

There are two bluetooth modules, one in Android box, other in HU. For BT calls use one from Bluetooth app (BTHD). Be sure your phone is paired with it.

In the MCU app (I don't remember the name of the setting) look for the one with color adjustments. Change all except red to 0. .. Then adjust the red to your desired brightness. Then press ok¿?.. You'll need to play with it to get it where you want.

When you get the dash kit you will have to cut a few millimeters off each side to get the unit to fit. It is 7 inches and the kit is like 6.8 inches. I had to do this with mine.

I see you are watching the github. I also saw your kernel commits, just haven't had time to delve into that part. And quite frankly, I would prefer [MENTION=260727]Tuatara[/MENTION] or [MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION] review kernel stuff.
[MENTION=6488418]asidorowicz[/MENTION] and I have been working pretty closely on updating our source from 1.0.9 to 1.1.4. I'm quite impressed with his ability to reverse engineer the code changes. So, he's been doing most of the reverse engineering, and I've been coming behind him and cleaning up bugs, test compiling, etc. The good news is we've successfully ported the Radio app up. I test-flashed it last night, and all but a few small functions were working fine.

We've still got the MCU app to deal with, which also saw huge changes from 1.0.9 to 1.1.4, but we are at least to a point where I'm starting to play with bringing in some additional UI features and enhancements. Maybe by this weekend I'll be ready to post some test stuff for people to play with.

[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I'm impressed with asidorowicz too. Been looking at most of the code to see how things were put together. I got the RDS kernel driver to compile, plus I patched rkserial driver for RDS. I was going to take a stab at the radio application to see what spits out from the RDS buffer. It will be the first time for me looking at an Android app code.

I would like to see Tuatara commit his changes from his ROM. It was a lot of great work he did.

Everyone, the code is sitting there. People can start adding their own canbus stuff for there cars. It would be nice to see more people hacking away. Hopefully as more people buy a unit (summer is almost here!)

Man it is nice to have the complete source code.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
This is something really interesting for me and I have been trying to research and study about how canbus works and I've either got a serious headspace problem or it's all just poorly documented at a technical level that's beyond me. Either way I'm more confused than when I started. For example I don't understand the difference between can+ and can-, can low and can high, the can low-speed bus and can high-speed bus, how my car's GMLAN1 and GMLAN2 compare to all of those, for starters.

What I did understand so far is that every manufacturer's implementation of the standard is a little bit different (data rates etc) and that the actual messages that are sent are generally not well documented so it's a case of reverse engineering and trial and error to figure out what the messages mean and what contraption they are addressed to.

There is a ton of stuff I'd like to do with this capability and the HU is the obvious choice for a controller (that's also connected to the internet). Example: my car's SID is an alphanumeric display in the instrument cluster like a lot of cars have - I want to scrape notification text and display it on that screen. Perfect for nav instructions for example. Then there's the idea of turning the speedo and tach into VU meters that but's probably a topic better left for another time. :)

Any CAN experts here want to shed some light?

Hell yes it is! Really there's no limit to what can be done with our HUs.
