On the way home from work tonight it was fine. I did tell poweramp to grab all my album art earlier so maybe media scanner was going nuts again. I turned viper on and off and it seemed fine. I did not use nav tonight just poweramp on the way home. Very strange.
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Mine does the same thing, but I almost always stream Spotify or Play Music over the internet via Bluetooth tether or wifi. Some days it will be fine, others the cpu will be slammed for no apparent reason and music will skip.

I still think it is Viper4android. I replaced the lib file the same way you did and it does better, but definitely is not resolved. I tried using a different driver from the HQ one (I think it was SQ I tried), but Viper didn't recognize the driver to be installed.

I find it strange that only a few of us have the skipping/cpu issues. I have flashed a clean xdauto rom, immediately installed Spotify, and experience skipping. There has got to be an explanation.

I will try to connect via USB and monitor logcat and memory pressure this weekend to see if something is excessively garbage collecting or something.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Yeah it's really strange, I have even tried the lower quality driver and that changes nothing. I still have the HQ one installed and I really have nothing on this device. Last night it was fine let's see how.it does when I leave for work in a bit. Makes me wonder how the klyde unit would have been if this one gets this bogged down lol.
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
So, I have mine on order, and want to make sure I have everything I need.

I know very little about car audio (or audio in general) but from what I get from the wiki there is only one unamplified output, and it isn't filtered for a sub frequency. Do I just need to plug something like this into it and then plug my sub into it? http://www.amazon.com/FMOD-Crossover-Pair-Low-Pass/dp/B0006N41EM The sub is a factory unit on a 2007 F150 King Ranch. I'd assume it has it's own amplifier built in. Do I need an RCA Y cable if the sub is the only low power output I am using?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
This is exactly what I did with my wife's 06 Expedition Eddie Bauer. I used 100Hz rather than 70, but I suspect little difference here. I believe your audio system & wiring will be the same as mine. In that case, you'll need a wiring harness (I use Metra) for the connections, as well as an Aux harness for the Sub. They are relatively cheap. The powered speaker out lines from the radio go into the harness, the pre-amp RCA plugs go into the amp harness. Note that this will tie the Balance/fader of your sub to the front speakers. If you like a lot of heavy bass with a bias towards the rear of the vehicle, You'll have to fiddle quite a bit with the balance.

Bonus tip: Buy two of the Metra harnesses. The ford SWC controls are already resistive and the wiring is present inside the dash connector. The Metra harnesses do not have a wire for those pins. Take the second Metra Harness, break it apart and use the extra wires to fill in the empty slots in the connector, and voila, working SWC with no extra boxes, etc.
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
That is all incredibly helpful, thanks so much! Is this the amp harness I need? http://www.amazon.com/Metra-70-5521...d=1441289027&sr=8-1&keywords=ford+amp+harness
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Looks like the same one I use. Make sure you've properly researched the right harness/options,etc.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Id go for the 100hz as well. Depending on the type of music you listen to, you might even want to go higher to 125hz or so. Acoustic base guitars etc are in the low/mid 100's so depending on your music preference that might be lost to the smaller inside speakers.
[Android Head-Units] lg-optimus:
Sorry I am unable to read 700 posts. I am looking for an android device for a Hyundai I30 for navigation. Do I have to start the navigation app (eg Scout, Sygic) everytime I start the car or does it remember the last state? Same question for music (mp3). Does RDS work in the meantime or can it be expected soon?
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
I will do this tomorrow since I left the box in the car for tonight and I'm too lazy to go get it right now. The only issue I can think of is compatibility with apps and ART. I have used ART on other devices before and it seemed like it really wasn't ready to be used as the primary run time. Thanks for trying to figure all this out and I will def give it a shot. 65mb free is crazy lol I don't get it.
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
Art runs better than dalvic on most hardware worthy devices running kitkat

I dunno why I just assumed everybody was using it after a fresh install of xdauto

Haven't had a single issue(far as I can tell) due in part or in whole to making the switch to art, restoring my apps and some of their data, then installing xposed, enabling modules, reboot one last time and solid stable system.

I don't get any skips

I use Apollo, Play Music, Pandora, Google Maps, and wifi tethered to LTE from my cell
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
I have not noticed any incompatible apps either. Plus seeing how Lollipop and Marshmallow both use ART as the default runtime, newer apps would obviously support it. I was afraid xposed wouldn't work with ART under KK, but since it's now supported under Lollipop, it makes sense that it would.

I guess uptime will be the true test as memory leaks in different apps would cause memory usage to increase.

Are others experiencing the same audio skipping/pauses that left the runtime as Dalvik?

I'd be interested to see how much memory is free for those that don't have audio studder. My nexus 9 with way more apps installed running M preview 3 doesn't even use near as much ram as the Newsmy after boot_completed, and it has 2gb with a much higher screen density (which should use more ram as a result).
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Nope, I'm using Dalvik so I can use the xPosed Framework and I do not have these issues.

As far as I know, xPosed for KK resets the runtime back to Dalvik and there is no xPosed for ART in KK and lower.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Yeah even my Note 4 doesn't use that much RAM running Touchwiz!! :p:rolleyes::eek:

Hi , i have my new nu3001 . install the drivers in windows and reconize this

but , when I open the rockchip bathtool , tle aplication say not device connect

Why ? can you help me ? please

thanks
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Switched to ART and I'm still getting some lag spikes, don't know about music skipping yet as I haven't tried it. Went and did some angry eyes on my jeep earlier today and music was fine while still on Dalvik. Even used copilot to navigate and was working fine. This thing just has a mind of it's own I guess!!
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
Are you guys using these third party nav apps because they don't require a data connection, or another reason? I plan to just use gmaps.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
I'm having trouble with my NU3001 where it is not registering screen touches on the right side edge. See attached video and watch for the exposed screen touches enabled in the developer mode. Its like it ends at a virtual edge about a half inch from the actual edge. Do I have a defective screen or is there a calibration that can be run to fix it? Running xdauto 1.1.6c2 with mcu 46. Top, left and bottoms edges all work fine.

http://youtu.be/2hQPFIccODE
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
It looks like your screen needs to be calibrated. Try looking in settings for screen calibration or maybe an app from the app store.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Tried that, no calibration settings in android or in the update setting app. Tried two apps from Google play, neither did anything. Just showed the screen touches, no calibration tool actually shown.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
finally got this thing set up in a much more "car friendly" way, only using 1 screen as I don't really need the others. Based off of Ondrive for buzz launcher and I gotta say it's looking nice!

EDIT: Had to switch back to Dalvik because I was getting "Android is upgrading" every single boot on ART... Switched back and it's fine now. Lol really can't win with this thing! -.-

Not wanting to complicate things... yet I fear I am...

There was a discussion about wired Mikes about 3 months ago or so... search the thread for "unidirectional"

Summary.... the hu needs an unidirectional microphone. ..

I researched these ad nausem as I do alot of dictation while driving... the better unidirectional microphone require some voltage from unit (plug itself) to work optimally - which the newsmy unit does not supply any voltage thru that plug (confirmed by newsmy).

I just keep adjusting position until I found optimal spot in my car (I do have to yell occassionally)... my other unit in the hummer I gave up on as I cannot get the mic close enough (alot of cabin space) for good reception without running it under the headboard...

I didn't try c270 or usb mic to try dictation thru hangouts...

The mic listed by [MENTION=3159413]usafle[/MENTION] is unidirectional [emoji1]
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
if u got a custom kernel you could try kernel auditor, it has all them type of settings.

Im still on the fence seems to be a load of bugs and stuff on this, going to start looking at others.
[Android Head-Units] fogimup:
Just wondering if anyone is using a USB web cam as a dashcam? If so which one and how do you find it? Is anyone else using perhaps a VGA camera as a dashcam? I've tried out an older webcam I had lying around "Logitech pro 9000" but I find it doesn't focus well past the bonnet and also the video is not that smooth, kind of stutters even at optimum resolution of 640x480 30fps. Wondering if the unit is not powerful enough to handle video for smooth recording and playback.

I also noticed intermittent video disruption where the playback and even the recording distorts like it has interference. I seem to remember noticing a message about a video virus but I dismissed it a bit too quick without reading it properly and now the message won't come back up but the video still distorts. I even re-flashed the unit and still getting the distrortion... weird.

Install costumrom xdAuto 1.1.6c2

Hey,how Do you do install the rom? I can't install it.The Unit is rooted and ii copy the Folders to the external sd-Card.the Update not started!what IS the mistake?;-(
[Android Head-Units] javierreg2010:
if you like install it via sdcard you need download the .img archive and copy it in the sdcard

raid copy of the sdcard , not folder

rename to update.img

the radio autodetect it and install
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
had audio skipping again and it was so bad to the point that the audio service literally "died" nothing until I rebooted it and it kept happening! Radio would work fine while this occurred but nothing else, also couldn't get it to reboot without pulling the cable from the device. I do not get it!
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Have you tried removing your SD card from the equation to see if the problem persists?
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Tried that the other day when I was setting up buzz launcher and it was still occurring.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Have you tried reviewing the system log when these type of events are occurring?
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Haven't done that, I saw that [MENTION=6289000]jkchr1s[/MENTION] did and I tried setting the runtime to ART and it was better overall, but I keep getting optimizing apps x of 20 on every single boot and I know it's supposed to rebuild them on the first boot and that's it but it happens every boot.
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
Are you using xposed? Any boot scripts in init.d? Any cache or memory setting tweaks or apps that could do something?

If it is rebuilding every boot, you are either experiencing some kind of data loss or the cache is being erased.

Have you tried redownloading the ROM? Checking md5 sum?

Right now you are telling us what is weird and not working. But providing a log for everyone to have a look would produce better results for you. We aren't experiencing the same thing(I think all of us are not experiencing exactly what you've been describing)

Gotta give us some help to try and help you.
[Android Head-Units] Vossi666:
Hi,thanks,i have installed the Rom from tatara 1.4.3.!But i have no Connection to the internal sd-card.The System says ever :the card can take off!I can not install xdAuto via sd-card,his find it and then i come to the recovery can i only click with the out-Button.The update go to exit.
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
or do a fresh install and do factory reset after just to make sure.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Not using Xposed, no tweaks or apps, and no scripts running either. I have downloaded the ROM, checked MD5 and even flashed the stock ROM with rktool. I will get a log when I have some time. I am going to disable and remove viper and it's driver and see if that helps at all. I have already changed the driver from the super high quality one it comes with to the high quality and that seemed to have helped a little bit but has not eleveated the issue.
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Get a terminal emulator installed and run "free -m" to see how much ram is free.

After switching to art and 2-3 days of uptime, mine started skipping again.

I think it's a memory leak, but I haven't had enough time to track down the process that's the cause. CPU spikes at times, but not to a level that would cause our issues. I don't understand why my memory is just pegged out after boot with hardly any apps installed.

Those of you who aren't having issues, how much ram do you have free?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
If i want to use the latest version of xdauto, do i extract the files so i can use the boot.img and then flash using factory tool?

Thanks

Did you ever solve this issue?
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
No, using the above method results in losing root with xdauto 1.1.6 so for now I'm living with the included boot logo until somone offers a way to do it without losing root. I changed the boot animation by flashing a new bootanimation.zip file with teamwin recovery but I cannot figure out how to change the boot logo with this method.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Thanks for the quick reply. How did you manage to create the bootanimation.zip file please? FFT doesnt allow me to do anything in it. I am guessing because I do not have an image uploaded?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
I used this method to make and install the boot animation. This is not done with FFT. Its done using the teamwin recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096068

All of this is done AFTER you have loaded the rom img file to your device.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Thanks will check it out!
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
on the nexus its system/media just rename the old one and rename it bootanimation.zip

[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Booted it up, ran it, then let it settle down, ran it again, and finally opened JUST poweramp and played some music. Skipping like crazy and then eventually audio died. Took a video of the skipping and poweramp locking up playback and audio as well. Just got out of work.

It's at the point where I can't even play any audio unless it's the radio...
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
If you don't give a complete list of apps you've installed and any other changes you've made it's tough for someone to reproduce your setup and a copy of the system log would go a long way into troubleshooting this.

I'm not sure if you've ever worked any tech support/helpdesk but continually saying there is a problem without giving sufficient information makes it difficult for someone to help you.
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
Thats odd. i am running a similar setup as your, buzz launcher, viper, powramp, plus 5 exposed modules and few more app running in the backgroung, in my 1GB box, and i never have the skipping problem.. I don't think its a memoey issue, because mine shows the same low free memory as well, but i don't have any problem.

Maybe try place couple mp3 files on the internal storage and see if you still have the same issue.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Tell us exactly what you install after a fresh ROM install (and which ROM). I'm more than happy to use my development box to try to reproduce the situation, but if I don't know the exact steps to reproduce the issue it isn't a valid test.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
I'll do another fresh flash, you want me to use TWRP or rktool? XDAuto is the most popular and seems like it has the most features so I guess I will stick to that.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Also please use 'logcat -v time' to include the timestamp in the log and tell us when the issue started so it can be correlated in the log.
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
could be the sd card if u use one or the hd
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Was still having issues with that, I could understand if I was trying to play a ton of .flac files and it was bogging the system down but I'm not.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Well if you use rkbatchtool it will be a completely clean slate, TWRP by default does not do a complete wipe of the system. Definitely use xdAuto, I personally don't bother with the stock firmware at all and I'd probably stick with 1.1.6c
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
I've tried to do a fresh flash before in rktool and it didn't help but for the sake of it I will give it another try. Let me get it hooked up so I can use it on the pc and the tv as well. A little "ghetto" rigged at the moment plugged into my secondary monitor and my macbook lol

EDIT: Flashed 1.1.6c instead of c2 this time around using the IMG file and rktool. So far only installed poweramp, sense theme for poweramp, nova launcher, and copilot. Been playing music in the bg while setting it up and so far so good! :confused::good::fingers-crossed:

[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Hey Guys,

Is anybody using tasker to adjust the display brightness based on a event or time?

I know I have asked help regarding this issue before but for the life of me I can't resolve it.

Tasker works as per normal, at a certain time the display brightness will dim or increase as expected.... perfect.

But the problem arises after a cool start/reboot if the brightness is adjusted the device will go into standby/sleep (as if the power button on the android box was pressed) the only way to wake the device is by pressing the power button or a screen touch/swipe.

Because it goes into standby, if I add a "Back" button press or anything else after the brightness adjustment it will not be registered.

Again if the device has not been rebooted the adjustments will work as normal without the device going into standby.

Anybody any ideas? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I use Advanced Brightness on play store. You can set brightness according to daytimes in one hour increments. It works for me. The author of the program is very kind. I needed a feature and he implemented it for nex release.

Looking at free mem from Linux is going to be pointless.

Android is a Java machine running on top of Linux. What's going on at the Linux level is not indicative of free memory. Go to Settings -> apps -> Running

Or download one of about a billion memory apps on the play store.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
It is configurable how long the Android box runs after the ignition is turned off, but it will go into a standby mode which draws a lot less power (numbers are in the wiki and in some posts). With the xdAuto ROM you can configure how long to stay in standby before shutting off.

If you have it shut off every time it takes about 30 seconds for the device to be functional.

@ Bokomaru if you had a chance to change the head unit for a different unit would you? Are there things that are wrong with it?

Cheers mate
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I wouldn't change it at all, I suspect I'll have this in my vehicle till my vehicle dies. Having access to the source was the biggest factor for me, since almost any issue can be fixed and the device improved on. I looked at all of the available devices in a reasonable price range and could not find anything better. I didn't bother investigating any of the more expensive offerings, I just don't have any desire or need to spend that much on a car radio (though I have already spent way more than I thought because I now have a 5002 in my vehicle and a 3001 on my desk for development purposes).

I don't have an expensive sound setup. I have stock speakers and won't ever replace them, I'm not a person that needs a system that is audible outside of my car or sets off other peoples car alarms as I drive by.

[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
1.5gb free at boot, still doesn't make any sense why the skips and issues were happening. It's been better but I noticed that when media scanner is running forget about using the device for anything. The clean flash might have fixed the skipping and pausing issue I honestly have no idea. We will see how it is in a few days from now, I should note that I have no enabled viper on this flash and I have no installed xposed framework either this time around.
