adjusting 2 hours standby

Can someone confirm that adjusting the 2 hour standby works?

I've searched this thread but couldn't find anything about it.

i've been reading there are some issues in that version

better to stay a while on v35

I had the same issue with the radio not ducking (cant say anything about waze), and it was cause I did a lazy install. Renamed the APK, installed the modded on and it was all good.
[Android Head-Units] Black6spdZ:
Tuatara, Did you ever install an external wireless connector? Just looking from the outside I'm not sure if there is room to mount an rp-sma connector coming through the side. I wont actually attempt this until its possible to keep the wireless active during the 2 hour standby.
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
It's a pitty that Utter does not support Dutch recognition.....yet. I personally don't have a problem with that, but I installed the NU3001 for some other Dutch friends, who would really like to address their device in their native language.

Using Tasker and Autovoice, you can get online and offline (Dutch or other) recognition. I've got some good preliminary results. See post no. 3879. For testing purposes, I used English, but you can use any language you want, as long as it's pre-downloaded.

Initially, Utter looks promising. It accepts various commands, but when I actually go OFFLINE (by saying "Toggle Wifi), thing don't work so good anymore. Any command given when offline, it responds with " There was an ambient noise error". So saying "Toggle Wifi" again is futile. Perhaps it's a setting I've not yet ticked.

Please let me know if you've got any good results with Utter!
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
This error will come up if the partitioning layout has been changed, because the recovery partition is unable to detect the (previous) layout. (i.e. all the magic numbers aren't magic any more). It should then format each partition, and initialize the file system accordingly. Don't worry about it, unless there are issues with the partitioning structure.

For future reference - it shouldn't take very long to reformat the partitions (a few additional seconds, not 30 minutes). I think something went wrong, and the magic numbers already in the flash somehow messed up the boot process. In these cases - reboot, and it should come right since the magic numbers will be re-scanned, with some of the partitions already formatted (so it keeps making progress through). Potentially removing the external SD card and a reflash of the same ROM may be in order to help it through.

I still haven't had a chance to look at Zaphod's ROM, nor look into the GitHub, nor get on to my device & check antennas and installation further. I need one of those "Twilight Zone - stop time pocket watches" so I can get on to all the things I'd like to be doing. :(

Hey take your time, you've got other more important stuff going on. :)

Hey ran into another issue today. In the settings app the top line is cut off - that is to say you can't see the Wifi menu on the left nor the first item in the list of wifi APs on the right (which caused me a great deal of confusion this afternoon :) ).

Maybe related to the DPI change?
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
This - exactly this. The MCU has an internal FLASH/memory/battery backed up storage (in real time clock?), which retains the currently selected audio path. If the audio path selection is messed up (i.e. path assigned wrong), then the sound will not be routed correctly.

If you search the forum you will see a number of others have had this issue (myself included when I was testing Bluetooth and audio paths). Flashing the MCU (clearing it's memory) is the fail-safe, and fool-proof way to restore the audio. This will not affect anything on the Android box at all. The downside is that you have to do it in the car. If it ever happens to me again, I will easily fix it - because I keep the MCU file available on my external SD card just in case. :)

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not DPI. My rom is actually back at stock 240.

The issue is the Immersive mode. Well, actually it might be a combination of Immersive along with our DPI. I 'stole' the Immersive mode code from AOKP, but I never used that particular function of AOKP. I had to modify it slightly to break apart StatusBar & Navbar enumerations. But I know if you turn Immersive mode off, the 'Action bar' is right. when I set Immersive Statusbar, I lose a little bit of the top screen.

That's one issue that's high on my fix list. Just need time.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Just for the record, this isn't Zaphod's ROM :) I might have finally been the one foolish enough to take the time and push the source code to github, but since then, we've had quite a few people pitch in and help.

Your Kernel boot logo termed this 'Android XDAuto', and I kind of like it. I think that's our new name.

Petition to Newsmy for source code

Hey everybody,

We are really lucky to have come across the source code for our unit way back when and this week it has begun to bear fruit - ZB has given us the first ROM built completely from source and it is a thing of beauty. There is nobody who could argue that what this community have produced is vastly superior to the stuff that comes from the factory, and I think it's a pretty clear argument that the NU3001 family is as a result and without question the best in-car Android option, period.

There is still a long way to go. We only have the OS source. There's none for the various system apps (collectively known as the "Bonovo" apps) and decompiling them is time-consuming and error-prone. We also have no source for the MCU. What sucks is that these two categories (bonovo and MCU) are probably where we can make the greatest gains in functionality, usability, and aesthetics: RDS, standby time, loads of de-fuglification, etc.

Earlier today, in the context of another conversation, Summer said that she would 100% support opening up the source to the whole thing so that we can work together on it. But it's not up to her and so far her boss is not down with our plan. I imagine this is because he doesn't really understand what we want to do, and further that he's worried about other companies in China stealing their software to run on competing units (there are already NU3001 clones out there).

I'd like to propose that our community put together a communication to Newsmy's president and/or product manager of the division responsible for the NU3001 (it's a huge company) asking them to consider a collaboration with us and outlining what they stand to gain from working with us. We'd get as many signatures from owners and potential owners as possible and really show them we're serious.

If there is a consensus I'm willing to take point on this and produce an outline; I really believe it should be a community effort though, so I'd like there to be some back and forth before we decide what should be said and send it off.

What does everyone think?
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Nice name, I like it.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
I haven't had the time to do this, but it is on my TO DO list. I've taken the Android box apart, and inside there is (just) enough space to potentially mount a connector - but it wouldn't be a clean solution. The PCB antenna is soldered onto the mainboard through a short coax cable. The cable is 'just' long enough to move the antenna outside the case, and cover the inside of the case in foil tape (shielding). This is a possible solution for 'non-techies', and could alleviate/mitigate the issue(s), but it unfortunately leaves everything exposed and easily damaged.

My plan is to (somehow?) put a connector on the box (possibly reusing the short coax), and then using the external antenna with a 1m cable to move it away from the android box. The coax length and connector will cause some signal drop, but hopefully with the antenna quality (5dBi) the overall strength/coverage will be much better. I just hope it doesn't get worse. :)

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Count me in. I'd be more than willing to help, providing my experience to get RDS working, and implement missing features in the MCU code. (contract, NDA, or whatever is needed)

I would also fully support keeping the code (mostly) limited to the Newsmy hardware (protecting the MCU is unfortunately the best & most reliable way to do this), in order to stem the proliferation of inferior cloned devices. These clones provide no benefit - except by trying to save you a $. With the inevitable drop in quality for that $, they only serve to cheapen the name of Newsmy and their excellent product. But we do need to enable the development of the next-generations of these applications and devices ... and with our support, we can assist Newsmy to be the ones (again) who will make those next-gen products.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Really want to buy this unit, however, want to know how phone integration is. I mean, I don't want to have two separate devices since I always have my phone anyway and love Moto features. Is there a way to screen mirror my phone onto this unit? If not, I might just use it for torque and my phone for everything else. In that case though, how would my calls go through my car? I read that it has a separate Bluetooth for phone only, does that Bluetooth interface with USB mic? Anyone that owns the unit, I would really really appreciate some help. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
You could use something like this to cast the screen to it.

Yes there is. Under display settings there is a setting for casting the screen. I have a note 4 and use this feature quite a bit for movies and videos. ?

Like to a Chromecast, or is it built within android? Knowing that I should have the functionality I feel beeter about ordering it. Thank you for your help. Thanks button coming your way.
[Android Head-Units] janla:
This is Miracast - check if your Moto is capable.

I believe you will be also satisfied with Bluetooth hands-free phone integration using HU embedded mic.

The only disadvantage of stock solution is missing contact choosing in the stock app, but you can use ExDialer or any other (moto dialer?) instead.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Thanks for your help. Still on the fence between this unit and an appradio+Chromecast+appradio unchained. Since this unit can screen mirror like it would with Chromecast and my moto x doesn't have slimport for the appradio.... This seems to be the best option. Am I right in assuming this is the most popular/best android head unit? Seems to have a ton of replies to this thread and the FAQ says that the company is helpful with bug fixes and such.... Think I just answered my own questions lol. Will be purchasing.

Viper is wonderfull, it really is a must have to make the sound of the newsmy perfect.

It works for eveything, except for the radio tuner overhere.

[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
It is because of this kind of support for this one android HU that I'm buying it. I would def. Sign a petition. Just let this dude know that the community has already taken their product and improved it 10 fold. Because of this community they've already gotten another sale (me) and I'm sure they've gotten many more. Since Android auto is kind of a dud, being that there's very limited manufacturers making after market head units and the functionality kinda blows as there's very few apps that work with it; they have a huge market to tap. It's kinda like how great user made features find their way into android source.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Sounds good. I'm all for anything that gets them to open up their code.

Technically, we do have the source for the Bonovo apps. It's just that all of our source was from 1.0.9. Most of the changes from there to 1.1.4 were in the BonovoApps (mostly the MCUSettings app). That's why it's taken so long to port that up. Plus I think [MENTION=6488418]asidorowicz[/MENTION] has gotten busy at work and hasn't had time to focus on it much lately.

GoneMad Music Player (GMMP) works really well with large collections, supports Album Artist tags and you can set your library to update manually (so no fear of it accidentally triggering an update when your hard drive is disconnected and ending up with an empty database).

Auxiliary out not working

Has anyone else had issue with the aux out? I'm not getting any audio to my active sub. I tested the aux out cables with a multimeter and got nothing (I assume I should get a couple volts?). My only other thought was that the cables were mislabeled. When looking directly at the the AVIN plug the red and white cables are going into pins 4 and 14 respectively on mine.

[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
I installed Utter today but could not get the system to hear my voice since I don't have a USB mic installed. The mic that comes with the unit only uses the Bluetooth interface for calls. If you have any luck with this please let me know, as this app is good for keeping your eyes on the road ☺

I've been playing with this for a while, do both devices need to be on the same wireless network? That is the only way I have gotten it to work for me.
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
When I connect with my note 4 I have to turn on screen mirroring on the phone and then it searches for the NU3001 and connects to it. You have to also enable the mirroring option in the HU settings as well and turn the screen casting on for it to detect it. Let me know if that helps...

viper - utter - gmmp

thanks for the tip, its on my testing list now!

since there is no eq or what so on the unit (only a simple channel volume), this brings a ton of options,

viper gives the audio stream a os based processing, wich results in a much better sound.

If you mean, timing alignment, there are options to create a sound field that fits your car size,

or try any of the other delay functions.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59078039&postcount=3207

the mic works, OK google works, and Utter wakes up when i say the magic word.

So for now - it seems to work fine !

(i orderd a 1.8 mtrs extra male/female usb cable for correct positioning in the car)

Just tested a few different launchers and I'll give my opinions on them

Launcher3 < default out of the box, dislike the very large icons.. limited customization options

Google Now < unless you really want online "OK Google" is quite bloated and I dislike the white app drawer background

Epic Launcher Prime < mimik's KitKat launcher and much leaner than the above two launchers with much more customization options "if you get the full version"

SlimLauncher < from SlimKat ROMs, gives just the right amount of customization, Icon sizes are adjustable but I like the size right out of the box and its very fast

I've got a couple Qs for the ROM guys. I'd like to slim up a custom ROM for my personal use and remove some rarely used or unnecessary apps, but some of them I don't recognize.

StressTest.apk < ?

OpenWnn.apk < Japanese keyboard

BonovoRadar.apk < ?

BonovoHandle.apk < ?

RKUpdateService.apk < really necessary?

BonovoAirConditioning.apk < no CAN on stereo, pointless

BonovoKeyEditor.apk < no steering wheel controls on my vehicle

BonovoCarDoor.apk < no CAN on stereo, pointless

RkVideoPlayer.apk < will be replaced by MX Player

The 100% necessary and un-replaceable apps I can see are:

BonovoSoundBalance.apk

BonovoRadio.apk

BonovoBluetooth.apk

BonovoBackDraft.apk

BonovoAvIn.apk

BonovoVin.apk

BonovoMcu.apk

Will also remove any apps that can be installed from Play Store, Maps, Wifi Analyzer, Antutu, Calendar, Gmail, etc.

Call me picky but I like to start with the leanest and cleanest base.

Another Q, with us building ROMs will we have to split out the Google Apps similar to CM?
[Android Head-Units] briangig:
The phone bluetooth routes through the mic (non-USB) that is included. I used a Sony mic from my previous HU and people have told me I sounds fine, so I can't say what the quality of the included mic is.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm currently using Google Now Launcher just for testing/fun. I usually use NovaLauncher. It's very customizable.

I doubt we need stresstest.

Openwnn Is I think the dictionary. Probably needed.

BonovoHandle is definitely needed - processes most of the Bonovo related messages/intents.

Other Bonovo apps - might possibly break something it intent/handlers are not present.

RKUPdate - I think this is part of the 'SDCard update' process.

RkVideoplayer - agreed - probably not needed.

As for GAPPS - I doubt we would be a big enough target for Google to notice the included GAPPS. CM got large enough to draw their attention. Not only are we a small/niche community, our device is supposedly certified to include those apps since the stock rom came with them. I would assume part of CM's problem was that they had ROMs for devices that were not otherwise certified.

TomTom finally working on the NU3001

If you having problems installing the new TomTom Go Mobile on your NU3001 external SD, follow this instructions..

After trying to get "support" form Tomtom customerservice I find the solution myself !

=================================

For this solution you need root access !!

=================================

Install Tomtom Go Mobile and start it ones.

After selecting the Map and getting an error "not availble storage available" exit Tomtom.

Use ES File Explorer or other root access file browser and go to:

/Device/Data/Data/tomtom.gplay.navapp/share_prefs/ and edit the 2 following files:

com.tomtom.navui.settings.xml

com.tomtom.navui.mobilesystemport.external.path.directory.xml

Change internal_sd to external_sd. Reboot your device.

After reboot start Tomtom and try downloading again the Map you want.

Now it will be downloaded to the external sdcard.

Good Luck !

TWRP

Attached is a zip file containing a TWRP recovery.img. Had to zip it since XDA limits .img files to 8MB, but .zip can be up to 20MB.

This is with TWRP 2.8.5.0, since 2.8.6.0 has something keeping it from rebooting out of recovery properly (need to kill power to do so).

Ended up having to spend way too much time trying to figure out why the framebuffer wasn't properly switching all the time. Took some debugging but I just disabled it for TWRP and everything works smoothly now.

I only have filesystems that are valid setup (normal ones plus /metadata). We've got partitions for (backup, boot, misc, etc.) as named partitions but I don't see them formatted or that anyone is using them.

USB still not working. Need to look into it more. Does anyone have USB-OTG working with a memory stick on a normal build?

From TWRP, rebooting into recovery or bootloader aren't working (just reboots to main system). There are options to just remove them from the menu, but I'd rather get this working since it's never bad to have another way to get into the bootloader.

I did my best to keep the changes to the TWRP code to a minimum and made changes mostly to other parts of the tree. I'll have to generate PR's for each of them.

I think the inbuilt mic is wired up in such a way that it only functions whilst on a phone call. The android system has no access to it. I'm guessing its part of the bluetooth handsfree hardware which is integrated into the system enough for it to mute music when a call comes in and open a diller like app etc, but not enough to provide all it's hardware functionality system wide.

The external mic is more like a mic on a tablet or phone and is available to the android system so all apps can access it.

I don't understand why this was done, but the bluetooth might be in a module which had a mic port available so it was easier/cheaper for the engineers to tap into that for the inbuilt mic.

It may or may not be possible to upgrade some part of the firmware to expose the inbuilt mic.
