I had connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6. But I can assure you that the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 will work to.

Everything works with bluetooth, even audio streaming.

The only thing that was annoying is that when you sync your contacts it also sync the doubles.. The iPhone is clever enough to combine a double (or triple etc) contact to a single contact. The android-box doesn't have this function.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Thanks, I'll get something written up under the xdAuto section later today.

Whaaaaaat. I'm on it! Thanks for letting me know. I must have totally over looked the update

Alright so I'm feeling like a complete idiot right now, how do you enable the status bar info on 1.1.6c?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Settings -> Status Bar -> Media info in Statusbar
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
Quick question... Is 1.1. 6c able to be put on the root of an SD card as an img file and updated in the HU itself that way or do we need RKBatch Tool for it? I don't want my data to be wiped... I am on tuatara's rom currently
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
If you are already on Tuatara, you should be able to flash the .zip file from within Clockwork Recovery.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Quick poll, does anyone need to use the contact sync in the Bluetooth application?

I'm in the middle of reworking the way the various Bluetooth parts talk to each other and i'm just wondering how important this is to people.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
My personal opinion is contacts sync is a bad idea. We should be using Google contacts for that. I'm sure there are those that might store their contacts on SIM/Phone rather than their google account, but not I.

Ok, I made a Helper for Navitel : http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001

Source code is here: https://github.com/Nu3001/packages_apps_NavitelHelper

I think I'm largely done with helper apps for now. I've got 3 different styles available on Github for examples. Someone else needs to learn how to modify & compile these and produce helpers for any apps that people want.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
That's my feeling too, but I don't want to remove it for now and find a bunch of people use it.

I'd still plan on bringing it back later on, but it wouldn't be a priority unless I get a big response.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Never used and in the way it works, ill never recomend to use it.

+1 the way to go is google contacts sync

[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
It made duplicate contact in my Google account anytime I tried it... I think there's no need for it if it doesn't work
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Everyone that has posted about it says that it duplicates their contacts for as many numbers they have saved among having other issues.

If you can somehow fix it then it may be useful. Maybe insert a dialog that says it currently has issues.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
So I've been googling and googleplaying but haven't found what I am looking for, is there an app or anything that will auto turn on a screensaver /daydream after periods of screen inactivity? I know you can manually turn on the screensaver on these units which is just turning on daydream but is there anything that can automatically do this when you're not in need of seeing the content on the screen constantly? Would be useful for night driving

my seat ibiza sc

Hi there

In Attachment you see my installation on a seat ibiza sc

I have the xdauto-1.1.6c.img flashed over batchtool(upgrade,recover), but i have with this no root access have everyone a idea?

Kingo root dosn't work, wenn i flash tuatara 1.1.4.3 i have root access.....

Another question is it possible to link a swc button to an app? (Tomtom Go, Shuffle Play)

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
I if I use this feature since I have saved all contacts on the SIM card,

I would like that synchronization is maintained if possible, but if you can not keep, I can not really complain

I'm using tuataras rom and clockwork recovery is not very user friendly... I swipe up and down and it moves but there is no button to actually make a selection. I used two fingers at the same time and it sometimes works but I'm stumped... Is there an easier way? I'm trying to flash 1.1.6c rom

TorqueHelper and NavitelHelper when you exit the app restarts .
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That was discussed when I first made the helpers. It's a side effect of the process. I have to leave the app(helper) in memory in order for the intent buttons to work like they should. The problem is that the Helper and the App are typically back to back on the application stack. So when you quit Torque, the last app becomes active. That last app just happens to be the Helper, so it restarts Torque.

The solution is to either use the recents screen to dismiss the app, or otherwise create some 'distance' between the helper and it's target. IE, launch torque then go home, go to another app, etc. then use the recents or statusbar access to get back to the target, then quit.

It sounds like a pain (and it kind of is), but I suspect this is an infrequent issue. Once you start the app, just let it run. Android manages your memory just fine.
[Android Head-Units] runemail:
Personally I would prefer autovoice/tasker for this. Twilight or similar and dark theme cardashdroid is my "daydream", for now.

I believe the MCU app takes care of that. So probably not. Personally I would like to use a swc button to start google now voice search. Saying OK google before every voice command gets old really fast...
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
SWC are all handled on the Android side by the Keyeditor application and service.

The hardest part would be making a User Interface for Keyeditor that allows the user to set all these additional options and still makes sense.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
It also could use long-press support. would be neat to be able to bind app launching too.
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
I upgraded yesterday, and im still experincing this on VLC, but my other streaming apps Works just fine, so im suspecting its VLC acting up :/
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've got VLC installed so i'll test it out. If it's the same issue I might have just thought of a way around it.
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
Cool, it's wierd cuz the radio vol is full up, and my Puls radio app vol works just fine, but the VLC is stil very low.. Ill try a Headunit restart after work, to see if that fixes the problem :)

I agree with [MENTION=391948]Zaphod Beeblebrox[/MENTION]. Existing bluetooth contacts sync is not a sync. It works more like Import and do it in wrong way.

any help appreciated
[Android Head-Units] akapline:
THANK YOU, Man!)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I'm just guessing but you could try using the RKDriverAssistant to reinstall the drivers in Windows.

Then one other thing to check:

open the config.ini file that is in the folder with rkbatchtool and change

SUPPORTLOWUSB=

to

SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE

I installed exdialer at the weekend and works exactly as I want it to. I'm not really bothered at this stage to getting autodialling or ok google working so exdialer has my vote. Not a sync, it just interrogates your contacts list (if I understand it correctly?)

Not done a sync with BT app as mentioned the duplicate issue on the Wiki
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
[MENTION=6472486]leonkernan[/MENTION]

In teh redesign of the bluetooth app, check if you add a icon yo reconnect the BT to phone.

Some times, when i leave the car on for x minutes and go out or BT range, hen i come back to car BT dont reconnect.

If i shutdown screen and power on again it reconnect fine.

Will be nice to have a button for that. or if can be implemented automatic reconnect function when BT connection is loose.

For example check every 30 seconds if BT device is available and connect to it, (if not connected already).

Also this is more complicated but will be nice to handle 2 profiles, for 2 different phones..

I usualy have job phone and personal one, and some times carry both on car, but only on of them can be connected to BT Haandsfree. (miss the old parrot here)

May be the bt stack dont support 2 connections at same time. but can be nice have a interface a option to switch form one phone to other.

So easy can connect BT to personal or job phone without taking phone
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
The Handsfree Bluetooth has the ability to auto reconnect, but I wouldn't be surprised if the software isn't enabling it at the moment. Either way that should be fixable.

If the manual is right (and it has been so far) then we should be able to have up to 8 devices paired to the Handsfree Bluetooth at the same time.

I'm almost certain you can only have one phone connected at a time though. It would have to disconnect before you could connect to a second phone.

i have installed xdauto 1.1.6c finally.

i have a question to the navigation bar.

when i press the navigation button i choose navigon to start, but it starts and says that the transmitted adress could not be found and the transmitted coordinates could not be interpretated and then finish navigon?????

I only want to start navigon when i press the navigation button ??

is there a solution ??
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
Today I tried to run xdAuto firmware from sd card. Boot loading was normal, but the ROM does not start. Everything hangs on the flying circles.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
There won't be an immediate solution to that. Android does not have a define APP_CATEGORY for Nav programs like they do for MUSIC. I get around that by sending an intent for a GEO: lookup. Most nav programs are set to receive this intent filter. But each handles the intent differently. Evidently Navigon decides to search for the location, and if it can't find it quits. Right now I'm not passing valid coordinates to the lookup. I'll look into getting current location from android location services and passing your location to the query. When I get time.
[Android Head-Units] guap:
kill it with fire... it duplicates contacts bad on google contacts, a total mess... 99% of people uses google, and the ones who doesnt use it should start using it, even only to have a reliable backup :D

doesn't the keyeditor write only few entries in his Vendor_????_Product_????.kl (keyboard layout) file? In my in-dash tablet setup I hooked up a disassembled usb keyboard to have physical buttons, then edited the appropriate .kl file once found the keyboard ID with lsusb and the generated keycode.

Today i play a bit with the xdauto 1.1.6c firmware.

Really a progression.

I discovered, that the navigation bar reacts after 10-20 seconds after the unit started.

Is there a possibilty that the bluetooth app notify missed calls with name and number???

I use a 4g usb surf stick to get internet radio function.

I have to install ppp widget 2 to get this function. It works good.

Is there also a possibility to integrate this widget ???
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
1.1.6c is an awesome improvement. Music pauses correctly now on sleep, audio ducking works properly in iGo, it's awesome! The audio skipping I was experiencing with 1.16b4 has almost completely stopped now. I flashed it yesterday and didn't have a single issue with it until I got in my car to leave work. The screen was black (but you could see the backlight), then a scrambled looking horizontal line slowly drew across the screen, then it rebooted itself. It's hotter than hell outside today, but I was parked in the garage. I suppose the heat could have been a factor, but it was this hot running 1.1.6b4 as well and never experienced that. I have my MCU setting to stay on for 1 day.
[Android Head-Units] peregrines:
I experienced exactly the same thing about 5-6 times so far since I am on 1.16b4.

The unit just restarts itself ... without anything specific going on!

(I was using Tomtom along with Bluetooth streaming Podcast from my iPhone or listening to Spotify most times)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
The keyeditor has quite a setup for mapping physical codes to whatever it uses.

I haven't dug into it too deeply yet but i'm pretty sure the physical codes are just the resistance value of each hardware button being passed straight through.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the Bluetooth contacts.

Looks like most people are happy to sync contacts in other ways these days which is pretty much what I expected.

Is there any setting in Poweramp that needs to turn on or off to get it to show media info on the status bar? I couldn't get it to work the way like apollo would. :(
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You have to turn on the option in xdAuto, not poweramp. Settings -> Statusbar -> Media display in statusbar.

It should then work with any properly coded android 4.4 compliant media player. You'll know its working if radio station metadata is published there as well.

I have some bad news for the community, and for me.

I bought a new toy:

[IMG="Zaphod's Miata"]http://i.imgur.com/w1dZbF2.jpg[/IMG]

Bad news for you guys is that I'll probably spend my weekends riding with the top down for a while.

Bad news for me is I have to buy another NU5002 :)

Hmm weird, works for me with radio and playerpro?

Question, I've been trying to get the status bar to be transparent, I've tried using translucent module for xposed but it doesn't seem to do anything. What else could be used ? I much like the transparent status bar vs a solid colour even more so now with with the mod in the new xdauto release
[Android Head-Units] Surgent:
Wow, looks like software development bizz is really doing well...

The larger status bar media info was a fantastic idea, looks magnificent. Did you try any combination of <artist> - < track name> or < album> to reduce the scrolling required? seems like there would be plenty of space for it - even in the larger font.
[Android Head-Units] Summer-Newsmy:
Is there some app for voice command phone book?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Zaphod-Beeblebrox puts a lot of time into this project, voluntarily, to make it better for all of us and you make rude assumptions like that?
[Android Head-Units] Surgent:
Woah - sorry mate, didn't mean to offend, it was just a tongue in cheek joke. As you know he's obviously an excellent developer, I feel it's a fair assumption that he's probably quite successful at it if that's he's occupation irl too.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
No problem, If I wasn't annoyed at things around home I might have read it the other way.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
No worries. I took it as a fun comment as well. but don't get too excited, it's not nearly as nice a car as it looks. It's a classic "20 footer" (or for you non US people, a "6.09 meterer" ?? :))

It's been repainted (very badly I might add), has some shoddy body work, and is burning oil noticeably. But what it does have is a drop top, a functional drive-train, and a pretty cheap sale price. Just what I wanted in an extraneous toy. Whether or not this becomes my next 'fix-up' project, I don't know. Likely to just enjoy it as is for a while. I also have a daughter who is just learning to drive, and a son only a couple of years behind her... No room for 'nice' cars in this household for a while.

And just for the record, my IRL work has nothing to do with software development. I'd like to learn how to make a living at development, but I have this bad habit of giving away all my code :D)

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 AM ----------

Summer,

I also answered your e-mail question on this, but just wanted to post here publicly for anyone else with the same question.

The problem is not an app/software, but the way the MIC is wired in the units. By wiring that MIC directly to the bluetooth HFP, Android has no functional MIC for voice control. Many of us have gotten around this issue by using some type of USB based microphone (in my case a Logitech C270 webcam for combined Dashcam/DVR & Microphone).

This is an area (much like RDS) that we desperately need help from the Newsmy engineers/developers. There should be a way to create a serial channel/driver at the MCU level that creates a virtual MIC device in the android box. This would require a combination of MCU and Kernel code, but it's the type of thing that we can't do on our own without MCU source code and documentation.
[Android Head-Units] guap:
mmm not sure about that. On 5261

all

key are mapped thru keyeditor, it seems as they generate an individual keycode like an usb controller... Can't say more for now, I just took a quick peek last week, I'll look as soon as my unit arrives (on wed/thu)

miata rocks, take your time and restore it as she deserves :good: rwd powa, luxury driving school for your kids ;)

+1 for this. Please Summer, force devs to give us MCU access... XDA support is the best sponsor you can get to emerge from the mass.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Yes please, i have it working With oK google, but need to use a USB Mic. so in dashboard have to mics, one for android system and one for bluetooth.

Newsmy developers should fix this and allow us to use same mic for bluetooth and for android system
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Hi Guap,

Did you or anyone happen to figure this one out? I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to change the boot screen of xdauto (1.1.6c) using FirmwareFactoryTool. I can load the firmware successfully.(xdAuto-1.1.6c .img) Also, 'replace boot logo' seems to work fine with my ppm.(my ppm is attached) However, when I hit 'confirm modification', it seems to hang up on "Packing system .img" The activity bar shows that it's processing, but it never seems to end. It ran all night last night... Maybe it's caught in a loop?

Am I doing something wrong? I'm labeling the new file 'update' (update .img). Does it have something to do with how I'm saving it? FYI, it does the same thing even if I make no changes to the .img file at all. (loading the .img and then hitting 'confirm modification')

Is this related to the same problem guap is having? Is there a problem using FirmwareFactoryTool with xdauto right now, or am I doing something wrong that you can see?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Access canbus from android?

Hello all,

i didn't manage to find anything via the search functionality or in the wiki :(

Is it possible to access the CANbus from android/linux or is it only available in the closed source MCU? I would like to do something like torque, but without any BT adapter...
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
In a generic sense, no. In a specific to newsmy sense, if you are willing to work within the Android source code some (at least for intent/event firing), then yes...

You can get a start here:

https://github.com/Nu3001/framework...m/android/internal/car/can/CanBusManager.java

There are other aspects of the Canbus handling spread around, but that should give you a good point in the right direction.

"Fireware" cable pinout

In case anyone is interested, I figured out what each pin was for on the firewire cable that goes between the android box and the head unit.

Pin 1: 12v

Pin 2: Ground

Pin 3: THine high speed video

Pin 4: THine High speed video

Pin 5: Serial (TX MCU to Android RX)

Pin 6: Serial (TX Android to MCU RX)

I was really hoping there was going to be a way for video to get from the HU to the android box but the hardware just doesn't appear to support it.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Thanks. This may help me figure out why my screen has the random flicker that has developed recently. Think it's a bad cable. Recently replaced the original with a cable that has 2 right angle ends on it. May just swap back in the original and see what happens. Wish they used a HDMI plug vs the FireWire plug as the fire wire plug is very flimsy. May have to figure out how to have the plug seat more secure into the box and head unit.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I got a new 3 meter firewire cable for mine and it's the best. I've run mine through the console and set up a spot under the drivers seat with the Android box, USB hub and a few other little gadgets. The new one seems a bit more secure than the original did as well.

My previous Clarion unit had HDMI (VX404), it was an absolute pain. The slightest vibration and it would loosen and the plastic collar they supplied to keep it in didn't fit any cable I tried. HDMI just isn't designed for that environment at all.
[Android Head-Units] nrh_racing:
Hi

I have rear headrest screens connected but only work when i play a dvd on the headunit. All my movies are on SD card or usb which, is there any way to make these play to the rear screens or even if the rear screens mirrored the front unit the whole time

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm my cable seems to be just a flimsy as the one that came with it. Just not a fan of plugs that have pins in the top and bottom side of the port. Both ports are fine on my box and hu. The cable just seems crappy for being secure. May have to put some solder on on them to secure them more an maybe see what I can do with The internal pins to make sure they stay secure

My box is just in the glove box which is only 1.5ft away so I have lots of excess cable which can also be playing into my connection issues. Not certain where else I could mount the box with ease of access for wiring both the fire wire cable & port cable to feed the usb hub once I install it and to also make sure it stays away from moisture

I haven't tried videos but every time I used the HDMI port it just mirrored the screen.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Sorry, but what is the use of video from HU to box? I thought people have dash cams through USB to the box?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, but we also have three analog video inputs (reverse, two Aux) that use standard RCA hookups. A lot more versatility in standard backup cams (IR, wide angle, etc) than using web-cams.

But we can't access those Aux video streams from android. So no DVR, crash avoidance, etc. While the USB solution works, we are always about options, options, options :)
