We'd need twrp to flash a gapps package. And I'm rebuilding my changes. My hacked together build laptop crashed and lost everything. I still have my notes though so I should have a booting system compiling this weekend. I'll want your aokp changes too. Merge and conquer?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
For the moment, I'm leaving the built in Gapps in my build. I'll wait until we a recovery built before I remove them. Although I likely won't push GAPPS materials to my github.

As I'm merging, I'm finding a handful of hooks that they placed into the frameworks, but fortunately zbiao did a pretty good job of commenting his additions, so grep'ing for changes is going well.

While this is a little time consuming, when I'm done, we should be able to overlay these changes pretty easily on any build we want (AOKP, CM, straight AOSP).

I know that you want to keep a pretty stock build, and I think its a good idea to have a stock option available for those that don't want AOKP. I think it we work together on this, we'll be able to have two good ROM options available. The other benefit of doing things this way, as that we are getting an easy upgrade to 4.4.4 :)

It also should make transition to 5.0 a little easier as we are identifying the frameworks additions needed.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
It's almost like you're speaking English.... Almost. Lol

Whatever you're actually doing, I'm all for it!!!! ;)
[Android Head-Units] TrynaStayTuned:
How much?

Would you recommend him for someone trying to buy it in the u.s. With an '08 Hyundai Sonata GLS?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Don't get me wrong, definitely prefer mostly stock however I am still interested in getting your navbar code into Amplified. It would make it a great deal easier to navigate around on the go. Between that and viper. Those are the only big addition changes I want to introduce ATM.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
It will be murder trying to port my Navbar code into AOSP. Not only did I have to re-write significant portions of SystemUI and PhoneWindowManager, you've also got to have the ROMControl side of things that allows you to set it up.

Even worse so, in the last couple of iterations, we built an internal framework of the various options we used for the NavBar buttons so they could be re-used/re-purposed for all of our controls (NavBar, NavRing, and Ribbons). That framework is littered throughout the code.

That's why I decided to just try and port the device to AOKP, rather than the other way around.

But, I will not merge this device as an official AOKP device. There are too many frameworks implications that my team would never let me mainstream into our code. So, all of the things needed for this will be store on my github. Any projects not modified will pull straight from AOSP/CM/AOKP as normal. Thus, we can put V4A, or anything we want into this particular device without having to go through the AOKP gerrit process.

He have very good reputation on clubtouareg.com he sold so many units for usa and canada of S150 Android units

I paid 650$ for everything shiipping included

Is not the best price, but i think is a good deal.

Al cables and accesories, normaly cost around with shipping 250/300$

And the advantage all come presoldered and tested is good for me. so i considered good deal.

Sure if i need to but all cables and accesoried later from ebay or local i will spend lot more plus the time

All need to arrive me in 5/7 days, if you can wait i can tell if everything is ok
[Android Head-Units] TrynaStayTuned:
Yes, let me know when you receive it and whether everything is as expected. $650 is a lot but I know nothing about how to install these units and would love a simple plug and play solution.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Without you two, this device would be like any other android HU. Thanks guys.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
OK, so what we'd have to do is a fork of aokp with all the mods required to keep the h/u working... So we're at a crossroads. Do we both work on that fork or work on two separate releases...Hmmm. Well if that's the case, do you like my chosen release name or should we go ahead and hash out a new one? On another note I've made some initial commits of the kernel to my github. Still not quite at a working state..something is missing. I'll hopefully have a booting system by tomorrow.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Quite frankly I think we should do both. Keeping Amplified as it is (or add to it however you wish), based on the stock source code will make it easier to track any issues that we might have with the AOKP version. Also, when/if they update their code, it'll be easier to track. Not to mention having a nice stable/stock platform for people that might not like what AOKP has to offer.

As for forking AOKP and setting up the mods, i've gotten the bulk of that done. You can pull my repo from : https://github.com/Zaphod-Beeblebrox/platform_manifest

I'm still sorting out some things, so I doubt it will build yet. But if you are willing to sync that repo and start helping me plug in the holes, this might go quicker :) The one thing that I know isn't going to be in that repo is the google apps stuff. It should be in the /vendor/google directory of the source you have, so just copy that over for now. You'll probably also need vendor/widevine (I need to move that into the device tree, as we shouldn't be tracking widevine as a vendor.)

As for names, I don't really care. Never been one to worry too much about that. I owe it to my team to keep AOKP involved though. I'm only a small part of that team. If you want to modify it and brand it as AOKP Amplified (AOKPA) or Amplified AOKP (AAOKP) would be fine with me :)

VW Polo 2015

Hi guys,

I have an unsupported VW Polo 2015 wherein I am trying to install a Newsmy NR5261 (VW specific model).

I've spent a few months setting up the unit and collecting various bits and pieces to build my own (new) Quadlock-ISO connector.

When I finally had time to install the unit in the car, it turned out that the CANbus signals does not seem to be recognized by the unit:

- No illumination of the buttons (The VW model should not use ACC)

- No door open status

- No parking sensor view

- No response when trying to set the steering wheel buttons in the key assistant app

The MCU has been set for VW and the connections in my home made adapter has been penta-checked. :)

I am stuck, badly.

Any of you have any idea of what to try next?

Thanks,

Peter
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
I'm in the same boat. Only thing I've seen so far are hdmi to analog converters so you could mirror whatever Android app is on the screen.
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
I think you need still a carbus adapter for your car in order to communicate with the NR5261.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Didn't want to go through the whole thread to see if you were answered but if not and you've confirmed your illum wire is switched ground rather than hot feed a relay can resolve this. I can tell you how if you'd like.

Just an update - finally my order status moved to shipped and I had the DHL tracking details on AliExpress. By the time this all happened, my NU5002 had already landed in Sydney and it was delivered the next day.

Seems it had shipped several days before Summer got round to updating the order details.

Anyway, all good now. Have installed my NU5002, updated to MCU 53 and xdAuto 1.1.6d and I am up and running. Steering Wheel Controls now work better than my old WinCE unit.

Hey guys, does anyone know if the steering wheel control (swc) in honda accord 2011 LX uses canbus or resistive? in other words, can I directly connect the car swc to my headunit(nu3001) or do I need one of the connects2? I searched the official website of connects2 and couldn't find any compatible with accord 2011. Thanks very much.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Can you find a wiring diagram for your car SWC? If so I can tell you. In the meantime, ask here and read this some.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] huaiyuan:
Thanks Dave, this is what I found from honda service manual. A16 and A5 are the positive and ground of swc respectively. it seems resistive, is it?
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Yep, resistance matrix. Pink should be your key 1 wire, brown is the ground if you want to use the SWC ground. I don't know if it's mandatory but if you have problems w/ a chassis ground use that brown wire to SWC ground on the stereo harness.
[Android Head-Units] Jossie90:
Do you have the 6C or the 6R model? Everything is working fine for my 6R (including parking sensors). I have read that the electrical system of the 6C is very different to the 6R.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

This is not required. The NR5261 directly communicates with the canbus of the car to control illumination, power, steering controls, parking sensors, etc.

Hey thanks for the information :)

It looks like a job to big for me maybe i could pay someone something i can look into.

Is there no software solution or maybe an amp ? surely the sound should be loud enough to hear over traffic. I have installed the xda version.

Thanks for taking your time to post.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Yeah it should be loud enough. I do have mine going to the bose amps in my car so I cannot comment on volume w/ just speaker out puts. You are sure your car has no factory amps?

Yer im 99% sure as its the same as my old car, i installed a different head unit in that and was fine.

What did you find regarding the speakers not working when the mic was plugged in?

Did you ever find out if it was sending the audio to the audio jack and if so is there a solution to this?
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
Is anyone in talks with Newsmy to see if they are even planning on releasing a newer version of the os? I mean where the !@#%@#$% is marshmallow???? I am beginning to think I bought a soon to be ancient boat anchor. Is there another "generic" head unit that has more rom support out there? I thought with the design of the nu3001 they would have some incentive to at least sell me a newer box that has an updated version of android on it.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
This is more an issue with Rockchip than Newsmy. the RK3188 has no official support past KK. Rockchip has the RK3288 (and a couple of other new chips) that they are pushing Lollipop onto (and possibly M/N).

The RKTabletsCrew have made a few L/M builds for some RK3188 based tablets, but they lack HW video acceleration, and are using an older JB Kernel. If they would publish their stuff on github, we could try and produce a build for ours, but as of yet, I've not seen Oma & Crew release enough of their code to make a build (they have some older kernel/builds on their github, but nothing recent).

Joying has been pushing videos of an L build for their RK3188 based unit, but I don't know of anyone who has actually gotten one in hand yet. I suspect they are dealing with the same lack of official support from Rockchip, so who knows how well those devices run (and of course there is still no source code).

My next device is likely to be a complete DIY affair (build around a Raspberry Pi or possibly an nvidia Jetson dev kit). Unfortunately, I don't have any real free time to do anything but dream of a modern unit with full open source code.

Volume customisation

Hi, have you (or any other forum member) managed to customise volume levels for different apps?

Currently, the optimum volume level for the stock radio app on my NR3001 is 8. But when I use TuneIn, the optimum volume level is a 13. So what I want is to have the volume automatically go up to 13 when my TuneIn is playing, and then revert to 8 in every other situation. Is this possible, and how can I do it?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I did see an exposed app for this. Maybe MTC Sound?

[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I was wondering the same thing
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Hi,

I'm not sure how to have different volume settings in different Andriod apps but from what you have stated above it doesn't sound like you need to do that.

From memory the default radio app is a special case in that it has its own volume setting in its settings.

So if you set the "master" volume correct for TuneIn (level 13), then open the default radio app and turn the volume down within the apps settings so that it matches, you shouldn't have to change the volume when changing between them any more.
[Android Head-Units] foldedpaper:
I posted in that thread regarding some hardware similarities and variances in chips, not sure why the hardware mod was referenced in the first place if it could not work.

My H/U is going through a really difficult time lately. I think it has to do with the new WAZE eating up system resources. The H/U will constantly close either one or all of the following programs that are running in the background behind the new WAZE:

Pandora

Viper4Android

PowerAmp

Any one else seeing these issues?

I constantly have to re-start V4A or Pandora only to have it shut down by the OS at some point in the future. Rinse and repeat.

Going to install my amp first time so with the amp remote wire what colour is it? Whats the wire label called ?

Thanks guys
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
According to wiki it is a blue white wire labelled P.CONT.
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
Thanks for that i have just one last thing...

I got a wirless reverse cam never done anything like this before. How dose the car know to turn on the screen? Is it when you wire the cam up to the reverse light it will turn it on the head unit or an i way out.

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Never used a wireless camera but the Newsmy will switch to rear camera input when it sees 12 v on the reverse detect input.

According to wiki it is a green black wire on the main harness. I have an NR model and one interesting thing it has is a 12v power output when reverse input receives a signal or the backdraft app is selected. Means you have a way to view and power rear camera without having to actually be in reverse.

I got an issue with the radio. When I start the engine I got some noise in the radio signal, so that I can't listen it clear. When I stop the engine the noise disappears and I can hear very clear. So it looks like I got the engine making some jamming in the radio antenna. Does anybody knows what can I do to solve this?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Do you have any amplifiers or is the radio connected to the oem harness?

Can't really help you with your issues, but as far as #2; the few times I use my work iPhone to tether it's internet connection instead of my android phone, I have to constantly turn off "personal hotspot" multiple times before it shows up on my H/U. In fact, even when I'm overseas and try to share my work iPhone's internet connection with my tablet, I have to do the same thing, on and off, on and off. I think it's just crappy iOS software bug.
[Android Head-Units] phatass_dk:
Yeah, I thought some app or the likes might be able to solve it. Grr. It's annoying. Thanks for your reply though.

In terms of issue 1, I saw someone help someone with the same issue in here a few months back. Just cannot find the post and longer. :p
[Android Head-Units] Orisai:
I'm not sure if you can do this with an iPhone, but on Android devices with NFC, you can use tags (stickers) programmed with automatic functions such as enabling or disabling WiFi hotspot when your phone's NFC detects them. Just stick one of them to the surface of your phone's holder

[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
Did you find a solution to your first question?

As for the second one. I´ve not found an automated solution, but what I do is to open the share network tab on my iphone. The phone will then turn on wifi-tether and auto connect to the headunit. At lest that´s what mine does. (I got wifi tether on 24/7, but it only shows visible/on when you enter the tab). If i´m not mistaken tho, there was some talk a while back to implement USB-tethering. Perhaps this could be a solution, just got to dock the phone. Anyway, that´s all I got...
