Grims, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on the NU5002-H-H0 8" version. I have a 2006 Lariat with the a broken 6 CD changer. My measurements 7.5" wide x 5.25" tall which would put my width over by 0.14" too wide. Sindy is concerned about this less than 1/64th of an inch overage, however I think I could likely shave my opening some. The concern I have is for the depth and for the actual bracketry. I can't find where anyone else has installed this into an older F150, and I am considering purchasing a universal double din bracket and just improvising. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Griz

i had zero customer service, don't understand how people say they fantastic. Wish i had got it from 3rd party than them.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Take all of your learnings and post/edit/add to the wiki.

NU5002 in 2006 Expedition. Required some trimming of the bezel. Still need to go back and do some better filing, etc. But it fit pretty well. (WITH TRIMMING - WILL NOT FIT without cutting the bezel)
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I think the fantastic customer service people talk about is the quick ordering turnaround.
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
not me, asking stuff no reply, then ordered something else took nearly a week or more to post it with email telling me.

Been a joke from the start if im honest. I dont think "summer" is a person but rather persons using that name but that's just my opinion. Due to the replys i was getting did not make sense
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Customer service only exists when you tarnish their image. Till you do that there isn't any.... Join the Facebook group page... Bash them and see what happens. I did that after 2 weeks of zero response and. Within 12hrs I had a email response to the email I sent 2 weeks prior
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
Sounds about right mate, should of got it from the EU company i was talking to were great but in the end went for cheapness. My bad know for next time wish i never ordered the usb mic now. The email said sorry we had holidays but no email to say this no sorry no nothing. Will be staying clear now.

[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Yep... Just because I'm now getting the parts which isn't saying it will fix my issues doesn't mean all has been mended with me and them. I'll highly unlikely never order a newsmy product again.
[Android Head-Units] pfdeadpool:
I also got the "7 day holiday" message, and there's another mention of it back in late September 2014, so it seems legitimate.

If this is helpful I'll continue over the next few weeks. Not all of it is relevant to me & I don't understand half of it. But if it cuts down on the repeated questions & allows more room for competent developers I'll continue.

*hit my limit of "thanks" per day so I'm going to stop for today. If anyone knows of a better way of compiling the info please PM or tell me. I don't feel comfortable editing the wiki- a) I've only been researching this stuff for @2 weeks b) I have very little knowledge/experience with software modifications/Android development in general. I've flashed one phone successfully, & can more or less follow a set of clear instructions, but I prefer to have a clear understanding of something before giving direction myself. The XDA forum formatting doesn't seem to transfer well to Google docs:/

If anyone knows how to easily copy a post which contains a quote from another user, please PM or tell me. I am somewhat limited to keybind commands on my mouse (I have ~8 programmable buttons available). I'm reading this thread while watching media/eating etc. & the simpler the process the better, don't wanna break out the keyboard every page.

I also suggest everyone reading this to thank the individuals and community which brought you here. Many of them accept donations to continue their development work, $10 or $15 spread across a few deserving members is <3.5%-5% of what you just spent some disposable income on. Less than the tax you may have paid, or wiring harness/din kit you bought. It was extremely generous of them to shoulder the risk and share the reward. Thank you all.

Hi,

Just wanted to share that I got Huawei K3565 3G dongle to work by installing the app 'PPP Widget 2' from play store.

All I had to do was configure my APN.

You then have a widget which can be used to connect or disconnect. Or it can be configured to auto connect.

Works perfectly. At fresh android boot it gives an error (no modem found) which has to be acknowledged, after that everything's fine.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Don't you have any idea? Still waiting.

It reboots into normal boot, but I think somehow normal boot fails after showing the logo and it boots to recovery.
[Android Head-Units] clobber:
Anyone know if the carpad can be bought directly in Beijing or Taipei?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
If you grab a copy of the /cache/recovery/ log files from the device via ADB I can take a look at them.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Just add any interesting bits to the wiki and make edits where needed. I did the same a while ago but I'm sure there are a few things I missed.

Don't worry about formatting or messing anything up, we can roll-back if needed and I will fix up any formatting issues.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I think, I finally got that file. It is attached.

Thank you for looking at it.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't help me to troubleshoot. I suspect the filesystem was wiped on one of the installs so it doesn't show what commands are executed.

I don't have time to investigate what the programs you are using are doing, but if someone can figure out what is missing in xdAuto to work with it I'll see what I can do to make it work.
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Yet another back-up camera question!

Does the software in the unit create lines on the screen? I ask, because some aftermarket back-up cameras include the lines, but they don't move with the steering wheel.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
No lines.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Somewhere in the file it states that

ro.rksdk.version=AD3188_KK4.4.2_xdAuto_1.1.6_b4

May be the problem is I installed xdAuto1.1.6c2 by first installing xdAuto1.1.6b4 img using rkBatchTool? Is there a chance this is the problem?
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Can you make, each partation of yours that RkAndroidTool shows available as download?

May be this way, I can install your setup, and change the boot logo?

Setting up device within Windows

Hey folks,

I went with the Newsmy 5002S and its great so far. One of my gripes though is that downloading installing and generally setting up the device while sitting in the car isn't ideal. I was wondering if there is an easier solution you guys use to run it in some kind of virtual environment while attached to windows?

Thanks

I flashed version 41 and my standby settings still won't take effect. If I don't select the immediately off option, the head unit will stay on forever. Almost killed my battery after 3 days
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Thank you in advance for your help.

I use, xdAuto1.1.6c2 . I used boot.img from the zip file. I extracted the boot.img using single tools in rk3xxx tools. Changed the boot logo in the kernel and built the new_boot.img.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OeqGXrI5IkjMnFO9GT-gg8IgYBX1_K1M57B9LXsBHks/edit?usp=sharing

Maybe it would be helpful to update the first post to include a link to Newsmy customer support email, as well as a list of common questions that are more appropriate to direct to the retailer (will this fit my car, what adapters/harnesses do i need, does gps work, etc.), and state what the purpose of the thread is for

[Android Head-Units] MosquitoByte:
And you can program any remote to work with the NU3001?

I don't have SWC built in my car, I saw on eBay some cheap IR steering wheel remotes, will they work? How you program them to work?

I also saw a wired remote that connects to the KEY1 cable but is much more expensive...
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
By the way, I used FFW to change boot logo of a stock rom (version 1.2.2) and flashed the new modified image. (I did nothing more. I used update_1.1.2.img). It did not work either. I see the boot logo. It gets stuck there and reboots itself. Again the boot logo and reboots. It keeps this loop and newer ends.

Is there a way to update the document with images from this thread? If allowed, I'd be glad to try to help with attaching the pics to the doc
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
What program did you use for flashing the firmware? If you use RKBachTool - you need "Clear and restore" mode for full erasing flash memory. So call - "start from blank paper".

PS. While work with device (android box) on table - what power source did you uses? DC 12v adapter or pc-USB cable?
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I also used rkBatchTool v1.7. I did not use clear and restre mode. I just click restore.

I use usb power from my laptop.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Great work compiling some of that information. But we don't really need another source for information. We need to help [MENTION=1802543]zanix[/MENTION] with the wiki (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001)

Everyone with an account on this forum has the ability to edit/add/delete to that repository. The OP points people to that resource (the fact that many do NOT read that resource and/or search this thread for information before posting is something that happens on ALL forums. You will never fix that problem :))

As for updating the OP, I'm not sure [MENTION=5903015]alaninsitges[/MENTION] even reads here anymore. After a spirited disagreement between he and I, I've not seen any posts by him.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Did you have time to bulid new_boot.img or reproduce my issue?
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
So he could kill all this if he wanted ? Can he hand it over to the dev team who do the custom rom or any mods who have this ?
[Android Head-Units] pfdeadpool:
I think I stated it earlier, but part of the problem is that I'm not really in a good position to edit the wiki. It's kind of like reading a textbook chapter by chapter; when I find something that looks good to add, it's typically either updated, outdated, is included already later on, etc. Kind of like how I stumbled across Zanix in the ~125p range when he posted out of the blue, "just read the whole thread to here, gonna go edit the wiki" and I was like, oh, guess that was a waste of my own time hahahaha.

But honestly like I said I'm really reading to get a sense of the development/capabilities for myself, and hopefully help out as a consequence. I still think the first page of the google doc clears up a lot of the repeated posts in the thread. I think posting the manual, the contact info for the manufacturer, the wiki/FAQ, all in one easy to read page is a good start. I also think it's beneficial to state the purpose of this XDA thread (development etc.), vs questions which should be addressed to the manufacturer/retailer. Could just be wishful thinking, but it seems like more mod intervention would sure help to clear things up. Simply deleting inappropriate/reported posts replaced with a link to the wiki/info page seems like it would help clean things up. My .02
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
We should really start a new thread specifically for xdAuto, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe when we push out the next release.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Yeah, I came in pretty late and decided to compile all the info I could on the wiki. Then I got alaninsitges to slightly update the front page.

Editing a wiki is no more difficult than editing a Google Doc. There is a wiki markup language but it's really easy. Just hit edit, copy the code out and paste it in notepad or another text editor and see how it's formatted. Just find any relevant sections that exist and add to them. If there is no good place to add it, create a new section. If any section becomes overly large (custom ROMS, FAQ, etc...), then create a new page. Eventually I may add the additional info you compiled but, as I am sure you are aware, it's a long process and any help would be appreciated.

Don't worry about messing anything up, the wiki stores a history of edits and I'm pretty good at fixing the pages if something happens.

Guys... if I where to try and aquire the source code for the mcu.

What exactly would I be asking or to whom? Meaning what company (website) what chip etc.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
It works out of the box. No need to assign keys.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
You would have to ask Newsmy for it and apparently they've already tried but the higher ups had no interest in it. We even offered to help implement RDS. If someone was really motivated and had a lot of time they could start building their own MCU code, but it would be a lot nicer if there was a base to work from.

Has anyone else noticed that the polarization of the LCD is in the wrong orientation?

If I put on polarized sunglasses, the display is completely unreadable. If I turn my head 90 degrees (or turn my sunglasses 90 degrees), I can see the display. I'd like to know if others have the same issue before I post what is likely to be an epic rant.

Is it theoretically possible to remove the existing polarizing filter and replace it with one that's vertically polarized? Has anyone explored how difficult it would be to replace the polarization filter on the LCD screen?

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I hadn't noticed this at all, I double checked with the 5002 in my vehicle and the polarization was correct. Then I checked the 3001 on my desk I use for development and sure enough it is wrong. I don't usually wear my sunglasses inside so I never noticed before. Though with my glasses it just appeared more dim and not completely unreadable.

Which model do you have?
[Android Head-Units] NogginBoink:
Bokomaru, I have the Nu3001. Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing this problem. I'm reluctant to look at disassembling the LCD to get to the polarizing filter, but the problem is bad enough for me that I might have to look at doing that.
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
TomTom 1.4 is an old version that does NOT work on the NU3001. Just download and install the latest TomTom from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.gplay.navapp

Works like a charm and subscriptions are cheap. There is a small manual in the wiki on how to install bigger maps on external SD or drives.
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
For the second time, I turned on my car and got nothing but a horizontal line on the screen. I have my standby setting set to 2 days, and this is after about 13 hours of being on standby. If you pull the firewire cable from the android box and plug it back in, it boots up fine after that.

Just curious if this is a sign the unit is failing or not. Running the latest xdAuto and MCU 44 I think.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
[MENTION=6289000]jkchr1s[/MENTION] just tap the screen
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
As [MENTION=3249863]Psy87[/MENTION] said, a screen tap should cause it to come to life. Around MCU v41 or v42 I believe they added a fix for this issue (though it didn't seem to always work in my tests) and xdAuto was modified to send the wakeup commands multiple times just like the stock version does.

Somehow the serial command from the Android to the MCU to bring the screen alive is getting lost/garbled so the screen just doesn't wake up.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I still read once in a while. Hasn't been anything to comment on for quite a long time, just the same questions over and over. I'm still on your first version and it's doing what I need it to so haven't paid much attention.

Good call on the wiki though.
[Android Head-Units] VBlack:
On latest MCU and xdAuto this issue still exist.

Could you point to place in code, where multiple wakeup commands send?

I noticed also another issue with audio routing. If you turn off unit during talk over bluetooth - after wake up sound still be routed to bluetooth, and android muted. To unmute - need to place another bluetooth call...

I'm still convinced that v41 is the most stable MCU version. I recall seeing this happen a bunch when trying different versions, but now that I'm back on v41 I haven't seen the issue in forever.

I'm seeing this occasionally on mcu v46 but haven't had a chance to look into it. Powering off and on again fixes it as well.

It's been a while since Newsmy has updated anything.

I always wondered why the MCU never leaked, when everything else did.

I'm going to fool around with exfat again. I did get the nofuse driver to compile and install fine. Just no automated mounting from the volume manager.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I suspect that the Android code was leaked because it was being passed between employees of Bonovo and/or Newsmy via baidu.com. Newsmy has probably developed the MCU code in house so no reason to post it out there.

[Android Head-Units] NogginBoink:
Does anyone have idea what the 'ideal' resistor values would be for the SWC? I'm looking at building a custom circuit (for reasons too tiresome to go into here). I imagine that internally it's a simple resistive divider, so I opened up my box to see if I could see what the value of the internal resistor is. Well, the trace on the circuit board has no resistor on it as it disappears under the STM32 chip, so I couldn't determine what the internal resistor is.

I'd like to know the value of the internal resistor so that I can choose appropriate values for my external resistors for a 7-button controller. Anyone got any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I took a look at the stock 1.2.9 build and it appears Bonovo handle still does the same thing as we do in xdAuto.

3 writes to the serial port all identical and with no delay between. Same for both sleep and wake.

One interesting thing to note was the voice control app they are building in. I assume that means the CarPad 3 has a microphone connected to Android as well as the phone one?
