Welp, emailed summer. Will be buying the nu5002 and joining this family of head units. The newsmy seemed like the better choice overall due to the praise of the hardware and the dedication of all of you guys to making it a better unit. One thing this has is everybody working on one family of products whereas the Huifei thread has many variations of devices and information scattered between many manufacturers. Thanks for all your guys' work!

touchscreen

2nd try posting this problem:

anyone having touchscreen issues ?

sometimes about 3 out of 10 times, the HU boots up

and isnt responsive to the screen.

Reboot fixes the problem

i am on latest ZB
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
Are you sure you are first pairing your phone to the head unit? You need to go into your app drawer and open the app called "Bluetooth" which is the head units built in Bluetooth control. Make sure you are successfully paired with your phone. Then on the phone, verify that you have media and or phone services enabled.

Do not goto the Android Box's settings>Bluetooth and connect through that. That is only for communication between phone and android box, but does not provide support for hands free calling the way that the inbuilt Bluetooth module does.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Is there a way to add steering wheel controls to this unit? My car doesn't have them, but I'd add them. I really just need a volume knob is all. Any way to add one?

Edit: would Bluetooth remote be the ticket?
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
This unit does have a few variations, but they all sue the same Android base which makes it easier to support.

Yes and no, you cannot control the master volume with a bluetooth remote since hte master volume is handled in the bonovo handler app and not the android system. You could find a resistive remote that could work for you, here are a few examples http://www.rcjoycon.com/base_3/menu_13.php?menu=13

You could also look to see if a variation of your car had controls and get the module, you may need to run the wires yourself.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Thanks. Yeah I've tried looking but there aren't any trims of my car that support them (2005 wrx?) Didn't know that it wasn't system wide. Weird that they did it that way. Do you know of a more elegant solution than the buttons? I really only want a single knob to mount on my dash for it. Don't need play, pause, etc.

Who is 'they' that copied our GIT?

I just got back in town. Took a quick look at the github. You've been busy!

I'm not sure how my time will go over the next few weeks. Hopefully over the weekends I'll have some time to merge much of the 1.1.6 stuff with my tweaks and push out a newer version. Then we can start pushing forward with more MODS.

I need to add Audio ducking to the bluetooth music player. Should be easy to do.

People have talked alot about AV-In. I'm still not 100% convinced we need MCU code to accomplish this. If you look through the code at AV-In and BonovoHandle, I think it *might* be possible to set a mode that gets us what we want. I just need some time to play around a bit.

Now that we have 1.1.6 source, we also have the built in music player (it didn't exist in 1.0.9). Does anyone even want that app? I think it's garbage, and I don't really want to work on it. I'm willing to include it in the builds, but I have no interest in cleaning up the UI or adding Audio ducking to it. What might be more interesting to me is to pull in source from a better open source media player (Isn't CM's Apollo open source? Why don't we pull that one.)
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
I have various cheap head units laying around, do their volume knobs work in a resistive nature? I could always take it out, but how would it then be wired to the swc plug in the back? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
You may be able to use a Rotary Encoder https://www.adafruit.com/products/377

This would send a pulse with each turn of the knob that you could tie into a circuit that could act as a resistive controller.

Unfortunately this is a bit beyond my knowledge and skills to construct a circuit that would do this.

It would probably be similar to this tutorial https://learn.adafruit.com/trinket-usb-volume-knob

Except instead of USB, it would be compatible with a resistive pulse that the stereo would understand. This specific tutorial wouldn't work because it would have the same problem as the bluetooth controller (media keys cannot control the volume)

Anyone with knowledge on electronics, and ideas?

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I've still got some chunks to merge in, probably will do some more this afternoon.

You should definitely be able to have a simple selector on the audio "channel" being played. A button on your bar would be ideal, but not everyone is going to have that bar enabled so another method to change might be good. I'd consider sacrificing the Home button on the NU3001 to be a switcher button, maybe make a long press be the home button.

I was just going to skip the BonovoMusic player, I'd agree that it's garbage. I suspect most people will prefer their own choice (Google Play music, Subsonic, etc.) but it would be good to have a free one installed by default so people can use the ROM without much work.
[Android Head-Units] mos33y:
I am definitely "linked" in the Bluetooth app bthfd settings with my phone. I also have phone/ music ticked and Iam not connected to android Bluetooth. I cam see my contacts in exdialler but when I go to dial out, exdialler complains " Mobile network not available".

Newsmy.... The 1.1.6 code has the makefile and rds module stuff.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Trying to figure a way to add a volume knob to this unit. It seems that SWC are resistor based so I took apart a head unit and took the volume knob off. It is a 5 lead potentiometer. These work on a resistive nature, no? However, I'm having trouble figuring out the leads. I have labeled them 1-5 and hope y'all can help me. I'm pretty sure that 5 is ground as its the only one that I'll get ohm readings when connected to it with ground. When it's connected, leads 2 and 4 are the only ones that give a reading when turning the knob. This makes sense as the two printed wires on the computer board that come off 1 and 3 lead to what should be another surface mounted component but nothing is there, just solder pads. What confuses me is, when connected ground to lead 5, and positive to 2 or 4, I get the same reading. They should be different so the head unit knows the different voltages to identify the function, right? Also, although the knob will spin 360° infinitely, there are little "notches" where it clicks into place. What confuses me is that at one "notch" I get a reading, next notch, nothing, next notch reading. I'm guessing every other notch goes to zero because the head unit interprets the voltage that it gets from the notch after nothing as the desired input, right? Does any of this make sense? Do I have any kind of idea what I'm talking about? Would LOVE an electrical engineer to chime in.

Edit: I think my multimeter is just junk. Damn harbor freight piece of work. I'll go to radio shack and see if they have one I could use in store.
[Android Head-Units] 1WindManic:
Hi,

Easyest method is to use two buttons and two resistors.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
How would something like this be wired? Wouldn't I need an ic of some kind? Really like an elegant knob solution. I feel like this could work. I just don't have the know how to go the rest of the way. Might hook up a battery to see if that changes things. As of right now my cheap ass multimeter jumps way too much to get an accurate reading.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I think you aren't seeing this from the same perspective I am. You are looking at it from the UI perspective of how we present it to the user. I'm looking at it from can we even do it with existing MCU code/controls. There is some code we can reference in the BonovoHandle app to see how changing these modes occur. What I can't be certain of is whether we can select the Aux-IN mode, without the MCU taking over the screen.

The way the AV-IN app works now is to simply set the AV mode. The MCU then displays the Video Input, which is displayed *instead* of the Android video output. When the MCU senses a screen touch, it clears that mode, returning the control (and the screen) to Android. Setting the Audio mode to AV/Aux without turning over the screen control to the MCU is the key. That's the part that we need to play with.

Once we can do it, the UI is easy. Don't need fancy navbar buttons, screen swipes or anything. We just need a slightly modified AV-IN app that allows the user to do Audio only or full Audio/Video. We make that part of the APP_MUSIC category so that it becomes a valid intent for the Music button on the navbar, and people will use it like any other Music source.

Slightly off topic but I feel I'm amongst friends here... bought a 2nd car had aftermarket system... the dumb ass pulled the amp out resulting in no speaker output... I picked up an alpine and added it to existing wires.. now I only have left rear channel... ideas on where to start troubleshooting? I've pulled the dash and it is really a hack job... I wanted to address this before added another newsmy...

Pm welcome as to not cluttter thread.. thanks!
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Yeah the potentiometer will not work for a ladder logic SWC control. I had thought of a rotary encoder, but you need to figure out how to make the one direction look like one resistance value and a different value for the other direction..t he 2 buttons and resistors will be easiest.. this is probable what I will do..

This is one of my button options:

Good point about the volume slider.

My car has a switchable day light driving lights, I can use that instead of the blinker.

Is there a way you can move the notification down from the top to the bottom such as this?

BTW, Anna and Summer both talk to each other, they knew that I asked both the same questions lol.

As you have a toyota, it should be possible to use the steeringwheel buttons for any use you like....

(all the toys are using resistor matrix)...

You will have to connect the 3 wires labelled: KEY-GND / WHEEL KEY 1 / WHEEL KEY 2 to the corresponding wires on the car.

to get details about your car search on forum like this one...

The new 8-inch model (NU5261S) is for VAG cars, it won't work in any others. It's already got the correct wiring harness, CAN bus adapter, etc., built in. They are going to be bringing out more car-specific models of the pure Android platform (with the same Android box) in the future. Sadly my car is a redheaded stepchild and nobody will ever make one for me. :(

I've been talking with a new person at Newsmy, and I have asked them to put together a special offer for XDA members, and have one contact who can handle the orders, etc. I should hear back in the next day or two what they are going to do.

I was also told that this unit WILL be getting a Lollipop upgrade "for sure" but timeline is unknown.

[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I thought we replied to you telling you it came with ISO? :confused:

Yeah, that gave me issues too installing the driver. But it was half a faulty USB cable and half my laptop. Check if your USB cable have a good solid connection. Try different USB ports.

[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Fixed! I have a USB3.0 port, so it wouldn't recognize the android box.

After changing the below settings in config.ini it worked!

Now: as for the config.ini modification, I found on minixforums a post by user Snurb that does the trick. You open config.ini (located in the same folder where the .exe file is) and look for this line:

LOGFLAG=TRUE

#SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE时,扫描支持full speed usb设备，默认只支持high speed usb设备

SUPPORTLOWUSB=

This you change into:

LOGFLAG=TRUE

#SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE时,扫描支持full speed usb设备，默认只支持high speed usb设备

SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE

FULLSPEEDUSB=TRUE

Save & close.

Then you start Rockbatch Tool and all of a sudden, I had a green flashing light… ready to flash the new firmware!

Do you have the illumination wire connected? Also, the brightness does work. I thought it did not worked to, but is has a delay of 1 or 2 seconds.

About the time bar.. I had that problem to. On the home screen, pull your finger down from the top and press on the time on the top left of the screen.

Disable the 2 checkbars and set the time correct including timezone. After that, check the 2 checkbars again en reboot the H/U. Now the time will be shown correct in the right bottom corner.

I use the following USB device:

The H/U does recognize the USB audio when i connect it to the OTG port. Processing the sound is done by the USB unit to, but the sound is still transferred to original output of the H/U.

My TomTom navigation has the same problem. It can only use the internal SD card which is shown in the H/U in ESexplorer "sdcard".

If you have no other apps installed or the other app doe not require the SD yo can do the following:

1. open up ESexplorer

2. Press on the second button on the left side of the screen (the arrow pointing to the left)

3. Open up the folder "mnt"

4. Rename the folder "sdcard" to "sdcard internal" (You will need SuperSU to approve this if it is installed)

5. Rename the folder "external_sd" to "sdcard" (You will need SuperSU to approve this if it is installed)

GooglePlay and other apps will now see your external SD card and save the files over there.

Caution!!! If you have other apps installed that needs the internal/external SD it will likely fail to start and needs to be reinstalled.

[Android Head-Units] easyguy:

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
If some is good, more is better.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Oh, I was well past that part so the UI part was the last step. The android box sends different commands over the serial to select the video and audio channels. I've been intending on putting together a spreadsheet of all the different serial commands, just haven't found the time.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Finally rigged up a speaker to the unit so I can actually get some audio out. I'm still just working the unit inside on my desk.

Did some further testing and when I force AV IN 1 audio on (without video) audio generated by the android box plays along side. So it isn't a complete switch of the audio channel like I expected.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I always suspected we could do this, just never had time to test. So to confirm, you were able to set the AV-IN app to play an AUX audio source, continue to operate the Android box, and it played other audio streams overtop the Aux audio?

This is EXACTLY what we need (and it's the same way the Radio source works). We don't actually want the Aux stream to take over completely. Otherwise, we'd not get proper notification alerts(nav, etc) while using Aux source.

What DOES need to happen is merging in a variation of the audio ducking I added to the radio. If we can independently set the volume of the Aux stream, then we can properly behave in the Android audio ecosystem and you won't have dual audio stream problems. IE, the Aux app would duck for notification sounds, and completely stop if another source (radio, Google Play, etc) was started.

Sounds like this will be a very easy mod to implement. Just need some time :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Don't do that. By one of these:

RM-X4S: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Remote-C...ie=UTF8&qid=1430657488&sr=8-1&keywords=rm-x4s

or

RM-X11S: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-RMX11M-2...e=UTF8&qid=1430657532&sr=8-2&keywords=rm-x11s

These are resistive Remotes designed for Sony radios. I'm reasonably certain that you can cut the end off of the cable and wire these direct to Key1/Gnd of the unit and they will work with little to no mods.

I think you can find these a bit cheaper on ebay, etc. There are a few others that have piqued my interested (RM-X6S in particular) that are Sony HiR rather than resistive. I note that we have Serial Rx/Tx wiring on the harness. We also have an IR section on the KeyEditor. Been wondering if that Serial Rx/Tx could be wired directly to an IR receiver.

And for those that just want to build a panel of buttons:

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

on another topic... it would be great if in Zap's rom, we could assign any app to a particular button - not just an app 'of the same kind'. That way I can assign power amp to the music button (then maybe use the car button for radio)

just my 2 cents
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
[MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] is using a slightly modified AV-In app to test.

As for the custom buttons, please see my frustrations from 5 to 6 months ago. We either go back and finish my AOKP port, or we port my AOKP navbar to this ROM. I don't personally have time to do either. We are getting more and more people involved in this, so maybe there are others who are now willing to take up the charge.

But in a nutshell, if we had my AOKP navbar, I could quickly/easily port the 'new buttons' I've made for this ROM to work with it, and you could have nearly limitless functionality on the navbar.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Joycon piece looks nice. I think I might use my switch as it matches the controls in my car and I am planning on integrating it into the radio bezel. Thanks for the info though
