received my nu3001 2gb unit today, turned out to be a lot more expensive than i hoped (155 euro customs tax)

I immediately installed xdAuto-1.1.6b4 wich works great btw :)

But i found out that the phone app doesn't work like it should atm, is that correct?

The numbers on the keypad are glitched inside each other.

I also got a bluetooth error when i tried to make a call, but i dindn't look into that much, will do tomorrow.

I also found out the double din kit i ordered wont fit my polo 1.8T gti from 2006 :(

I included a picture which points out 2 of the 6 little ledges the radio has.

Did someone else have problems with these ledges?

Because the radio wont go deeper then these ledges, so it will stick out the dash.

If you would like to fit this radio in a polo 9n3 or a car with a similar dash, just ask summer, she can include the correct cables for you!
[Android Head-Units] Ltinride:
I had similar problem with those Ledges sicking out. I just use a dremel tool and cut them so it won't stick out.

How did you flash? The wiki says you need to flash a .img file, but the only files for downlod xdauto are .zip files :/
[Android Head-Units] larsomen:
http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001

xdAuto-1.1.6b4.img

i flashed it with rkbatchtool v1.6 wich can be found here

instructions can be found on the wiki under "Update Rom" and then "Update via Computer with RK Batch Tool"
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
You definitely would need some sort of internet connection in order to communicate with the device. Also in the base code the device goes into airplane mode when the ignition is off, so there won't be any communication after the car is off.

Also the GPS receiver is in the HU which gets powered off when the ignition is off, so GPS coordinates are only updated when the car is on.

I wouldn't depend on this device for something like lojack, but you can definitely do some fun stuff with it.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
So I had a little win last night and managed to figure out what I was doing wrong with contact photos

They now show up on the call incoming and the in call screens when you've set them up for your contacts.

[IMG="call ringing with photo"]http://i.imgur.com/dZGOXV8.png[/IMG]
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I haven't seen a problem like that, can you search your SDCard for any files named '.nomedia' ? Those files tell the media scanner not to search underneath the directory they are in
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Great job mate.

It's looking nice.

I think contact picture will look better if appear on circle like android 5 contacts.

If you give me size in pixels for answer and hang buttons I can make a new ones
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
While this is probably do-able, I think it might cause other problems (we don't have a true telephony stack). But I don't think it's necessary. If you have the BT app request TRANSIENT audio focus when in call, and release it when done, then any other player that properly obeys Audio Focus will do fine.

I've not run into any players that don't obey this. It's only the Bonovo apps that don't. :) We've already fixed the Radio (that's partially what the 'ducking' code does.). Fix BT to obey focus and it'll take care of itself I think.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I had a similar problem before. Can I ask what have to called your sdcard? Have you renamed the volume/drive.

If so.... try using only one word, no spaces or symbols.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Agreed on the circle, that's on the list of things to do.

So far i've reused the buttons from Newsmy, it would be great to have new ones.

The phone images on the buttons are 68px x 68px.

At the moment the button background is a small texture that is tiled.

The total button size is 300px x 120px
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
HAving major problems updating. Rk batch tool will not detect the android box. I have installed the universal sdk, koush universal drivers. NOTHING is working. I have put XDauto onto an SD card to do it that way. NOTHING. The so called update does not popup. What a POS head unit. Really really getting pissed off. Have been at this for 4 hours now,
[Android Head-Units] Ltinride:
No there's no such name in any file. I figured if it did even the EsExplorer app wouldn't be able to read it? Plus I did reformat the cards as well. Very odd

yeah they are one word name "SDHC" no spaces at all. Very frustrating indeed.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Ok, I'll stop over thinking now :)

That change is made, i'm not able to test it right now but it seems simple enough.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Two things,

If the drivers haven't installed properly, try the RKDriverAssistantto install them

two; open the config.ini file for rkbatchtool and change

SUPPORTLOWUSB=

to

SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE

These two things always work for me
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The .nomedia files only tell the media scanner to not traverse below that file. It would have no bearing on the EsExplorer app at all. I suppose the next step would be to go into Settings->Apps->Media Storage and hit "Clear Data"
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Oh my god....You god.

Thank you. I've been pulling my hair out to the point of tears figuring out what was wrong. You deserve a million thanks. At least THIS being in the wiki. Thanksx10000000:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Glad it worked. I thought that was already in the wiki, i'll add it in shortly.

Why Rockchip didn't set SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE by default just amazes me.

You beat me to it..
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
To all involved with the xdauto release, wow... great job! Everything is fast, responsive, and I am loving the customizable softkeys. The Viper sound packs also really made that stereo come to life. Thank you again everyone!

The only thing I have run into with the b4 release is no wifi after the android box woke from sleep. I set the MCU setting to stay on for one day, and it woke immediately after turning the key. Wifi was off when it woke up, and if you tried to turn it back on, it never would actually turn on. It would not scan for networks or anything. After a reboot it worked fine, and every other time I've started the car the wifi works as expected. My initial thought was to catch the wake event and trigger wifi on, but since it wouldn't manually turn on, I don't think it would do much good.

Those looking to buy an Android unit, I would 100% recommend the Newsmy over a HuiFei variant. The HuiFei has more out of the box, but the overall build quality, UI, sound quality, and user experience are hands down better on this thing. FM radio on my Klyde sounded like you were listening to it inside a barrel or something, horrible reception, and the UI was aweful. The Newsmy FM doesn't sound as good as Android audio having Viper, but still very usable and "good" quality. It's a shame they didn't feed the FM audio through the Android mixer, but such is life with the MCU. All that said, the FM quality is very acceptable. I'm extremely pleased with the unit. I was scared that the sound quality would be lacking without an EQ, but having xdauto basically preconfigured for you with Viper is just as good.

Anyone with a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep with canbus -- the PAC adapter works great for SWC. There is a universal head phone type plug for aftermarket head units that is included with the adapter. Set the vehicle setting to #7 on the pac box, cut headphone plug off, and solder red to key1, white to key2, and the unshielded wire to key ground. I used some wire shrink wrap to cover everything up after soldering. Then power the head unit on, press and release the button on the pac adapter, wait a few seconds and the led on the pac box will blink a few times. After it finished blinking, go to the key editor app on the HU and set your SWC keys.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
If you run into this issue again, check to see if Airplane mode is turned on. What the code does is turn on Airplane mode when the screen is blanked. I've never seen it not disable airplane mode, but I'll keep watching out for it.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
As far as I know the only way to update the unit with xdauto is with the .img file & batchtool (which can be a pain depending on the OS being used, I did have minor issues in Windows 10 with drivers but researched the issue for the answer) or with the .zip file in recovery. It won't just update in normal boot using either file. Not going to get far with support when you call an awesome head unit a pos. Sounds more like a user issue vs the hu itself.

New Newsmy IMG files on Baidu

There are a couple of new IMG files on one of the baidu sites for a Newsmy Dev : http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?shareid=3929622506&uk=16995692&third=0&page=1&dir=/安卓升级&

I am not sure they have anything to do with our unit, but it would be nice if some adventuring user wanted to download them and take a peak. I would do it, but things have gotten a little busy for me this week. Hopefully by this weekend I'll find a little time to work on some more UI code for xdAuto (I have what I think is a nice surprise planned :))

Prado install

Great work on xdauto. :) got me over the line to purchase BUT..

I'm getting pushback from newsmy (Anna) regarding being sold a nu3001 2gb for a Toyota prado 120 4d4 (non cambus). Being told I would have major wiring issues??? Has anyone done a successful install into a prado?

I'm quite happy at putting things back together without the instructions. Plus some ISO to Toyota plugs and sides will be needed.

Newsmy is wanting to sell me the Toyota hybrid ce/android machine which I would like to avoid.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] nsodmordex:
I've got the same problem with a transend 32 gb high speed class 10 sdhc. the only media player that works is n7player. All others see the card but can not play/access the majority of the music files on the card. Not sure what the issue is, but since n7player works I haven't looked too much into the issue. like yours, my card is formatted, named, and mounted properly.
[Android Head-Units] Ltinride:
Thanks, I will try that player see if at least I can play my content.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I haven't done a Prado, but i've got a Prius C and my last car was a Yaris so i've learned a thing or two about Toyotas.

You're right, the ISO to Toyota plugs and the filler for the sides is all you need to get started. Most Toyota's are the same and only vary on the connectors used for steering wheel controls and the like.

The NU3001 comes with an ISO plug so it is almost plug straight in for power and speaker connections. You might have to do a little wiring to get the reverse line if you are connecting a camera.

Depending on the age of your car you might also need an adapter for the radio antenna, a couple of years back Toyota started using a square plug instead of the normal one for those.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Now it looks usable :D (I'm just used to seeing pictures of my contacts)

In my latest build the pictures are even in a circle, all Lollipop and iOS like :)
[Android Head-Units] runemail:
Finally got the XDAuto b4 installed and it is great. Congratulations to everyone!

I see that its kept at 240dpi. And I know that the logic behind it is to get bigger icons etc. However once you get inside apps it means a lot of scrolling and does not work very well with some modern apps designed for high dpi screens, I use google music and its a horrible experience imho. Very distracting when driving. Some apps work great so its hit and miss.

What are the other alternatives? 160 i guess, but any other working resolutions? Does xposed work well? set different dpi for different apps?

Also I still have a problem with audio muting permanently if I turn of the ignition and let the unit go to standby. The only way to get audio back is rebooting so I have to set the standby time to 0 :( The problem seems to be the hu and not the android box. I have tried all MCU versions, the problem is the same on stock as well.

Is there a workaround for this? Any ideas?

Car is a skoda superb 2012 and the hu is NU5261. I guess its a canbus related issue of sorts.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
The muting sound problem I just hit the screen power button. Then hit the power button to turn the screen back on. The sound will be unmuted. I don't know what is causing the problem. Started with b4.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Can you provide some steps to reproduce this? I've never seen this behavior and can't seem to reproduce it.

What audio channel or app was on before ignition goes off? Any other unusual settings?
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I get it when it first boots. No sound from the Android side of things. The sound looks to muted but its not. Avin programs have audio fine. I fix it by hitting the screen power button when the unit is powered. Then I turn the screen back on and the audio is working.

Its weird problem.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I meant steps before ignition was turned off., what was going on then? Any non-standard apps installed?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Have you tried re-flashing the MCU? I ran into a strange/similar problem. I had to flash to an earlier MCU (Settings app won't let you flash same one), then re-flash V40. Have had no issues since.

Hi folks,

I got the Logitech c270 and tested it with the android box in the house. The plan is to use it as a dash cam with AutoGuard (are there any better dash cam apps?) and use the built in Mic for Ok Google. Worked perfect in the house.

However in the car the mic on the cam works but the camera doesn't... In fact the green pilot light doesn't come on? Any thoughts? I had it plugged through the same aliex bought powered USB.

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Got it figured out. Probably not the best time to have posted that. I was in a literal fit of rage because of the flash not working. Just frustration. Head unit is pretty darn good.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I have a very similar setup (c270, powered hub) and it works fine in the car. I have been using DailyRoads as a dash cam app, but it's been a little finicky for me (doesn't auto start like it should - and crashes a lot when I try to open it after having it in background) - I might try AutoGuard.

Also look into iOnRoad. Does some neat crash avoidance tricks
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I tried DailyRoads on my test setup with the c270 and it seemed pretty unstable.

iOnRoad looks neat.

One disadvantage I think the Carpad2 is going to have against most phones/tablets is the lack of sensors. Aside from GPS I don't think anything else is available.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
It's time to start giving the phone updates a bit more testing. The plan is for this to go into the next version of XDAuto but it would be good to get some more people looking at it first.

You can download the BonovoBluetooth APK from my Dropbox

Please note: this can't just be copied to your device and run, that won't actually update the app.

You need to install it from a computer via ADB. If you aren't confident with this please wait and it will be in the next XDAuto release.

To install it:

Save the APK to your computer and connect the Android box via USB

Open a command prompt, change to the android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run the following: (Thanks to Zaphod-Beeblebrox for explaining this to me)

adb remount
adb push c:\path\to\bonovobluetooth.apk /system/app/BonovoBluetooth.apk
adb shell "chmod 644 /system/app/BonovoBluetooth.apk"
adb reboot

Changes:

New in call screen layout

Music resumes when call finishes (tested with Google Play Music and the Radio app)

Call waiting, switching to calls on hold and merging calls into a conference

Contact photos shown in call

Known issues:

Call timer text is not aligned with caller name

Answer button appears when you are calling out

If you experience a crash while in a call the app will end but the call will continue through the head unit.

Please use your phone to control and end the call in this case.

I've got a sandisk ultra extreme 32gb that is working fine. If I remember correctly, I've used 3 different brand and size SD cards, all high speed variants, and non of them had an issue being read by any file explorers or media players

I am using xposed since day one, and have a module from the repo(downloaded using the xposed app) which is called "KitKat SD card full access" which should be pretty self explanatory. Also use "KitKat bugs fixer"

You can open the xposed installer apk, goto downloads, and at the top search for the terms I mention above in quotations and you'll find em

I had my android box in the house for almost 3 weeks before installing in the car, so went through a lot of testing of xposed stuff having a good amount of experience with xposed on aosp based KitKat roms.

I can't provide much in contributing to code development. But I can perhaps start a list of useful/compatible/NEEDED xposed modules if there is a big enough interest for it

ALL the more reason I think this device and its variants deserve its own forum. Would be so much better to separate threads focused on separate aspects of the xdauto project/s

There is some great work going on with these newsmy units and I don't get why XDA mods aren't encouraging the development by giving us a forum :thumbdown::(:thumbdown:

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

You should also be able to use ESfileexplorer, enable read/write permissions under root tools(of course allow root access when prompted), copy and paste the new BonovoBluetooth.apk to /system/app and then long press on the newly pasted BonovoBluetooth.apk, self "more" option on bottom right of screen once the .apk is selected, then choose properties, and select "change permissions". I forget off the top of my head which " read/write" permissions = chmod 644.... But I'm pretty confident this will work the same way, for those who aren't comfy with adb

Of course... If you aren't that savy, probably not a good idea to be testing this until it's ready for the next xdauto update ;)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Good to know as an alternative. The way I've described it is the way I've tested.

Can't emphasize that enough. If you aren't confident testing this then it's best to wait.
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Is the beta 4 overclocked in the IMG file? I had a longer drive today and noticed that every so often the audio will pause for a split second and the screen will freeze for a split second. I was streaming Spotify over wifi. I saw people talking about OC, and thought of that first when I noticed the UI momentarily locked up as well.

And catching the event to pause music, what is the most reliable broadcast intent when the unit goes to "sleep?" Do I listen for airplane mode or screen off? I found that running in shell "input keyevent KEYCODE_MEDIA_STOP" seems to reliably the trick, but I had trouble getting Tasker catching an event to trigger it. I can just write a quick apk to do it, but wasn't sure which BroadcastIntent to listen for. Thanks again everyone, this ROM is awesome!
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
No xdAuto b4 is not overclocked, though I claimed the governor was changed. Which it is in the repository, but I didn't include the proper kernel so the governor in that version will keep the processor running at its highest frequency. If you can pull off a logcat and try to catch when this event happens it would help show some light on the issue. I doubt the issue is related to OC or the governor, this box is plenty powerful enough. It's way faster than the tablet I use regularly and that can handle it just fine. I'd try disabling Tasker (or some of your actions) since it can do some interesting things depending on what you have setup and see if that affects the issue.

I scratch my head looking at the code sometimes, who knows what the devs were thinking. I'm sure there were multiple people doing things their own way and it's all hacked together (much like the base Android code as well)

The bonoviHandle app waits for the 'Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF' and then when it sees that it does some stuff and then sends the 'android.intent.action.BONOVO_SLEEP_KEY' intent. So you should be able to use either one, but personally I'd probably use 'Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF' because I like things done the "right way"
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Awesome, thanks Bokomaru! I'll write an app to handle that soon and I'll upload an APK for everyone to use as well.

Headsup Notifications now enabled

I'm slowly merging the stuff that I typically use Xposed for. Not that I have anything against Xposed, but I use it for so little, I would rather have my crap included.

Just pushed a commit to enable headsup notifications (option will be in Settings/User Interface).

I also re-structure some of the logic around the Navbuttons & their default layout. The next update might change your existing layout. Just go back into settings and re-select the buttons you want.

I didn't like the way I had most of the buttons termed as 'Show' and the stock buttons termed as 'Hide'. So they are now all set by 'Show' or not. I also set my original Navbar layout as the default. So on a clean flash, you'll get most of the xdAuto style navbuttons rather than the 'phone' layout.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
That is a huge improvement!!! Nice....
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
That's a nice clean install.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I didn't really read why you were asking this, but if we aren't already sending an event to pause music it should probably be done inside bonovoHandle when it does other "go to sleep" type functions and not in an external app. I thought Zaphod had added something like this before though.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
On that, I was thinking BonovoHandle should probably just do the same as i've just done with the phone app.

Claim transient Audio focus when going to sleep and then release it when waking up.

edit: On my lunch break i've written that up in the musicsleeping branch of my fork. It's untested but if it works i'll let you know.
