Otro mas! :D

Parece ser que somos 3 españoles, nose si habra alguno mas. En mi caso gracias a la ayuda de [MENTION=1089542]nestortoledo[/MENTION] voy resolviendo algunos problemas. La verdad es que estaria genial ayudarnos en nuestro idioma, a mi se me hace complicado leer algunas cosas en ingles. Aparte estoy poco puesto en android, pero bueno, poco a poco voy entendiendo algo!

Lo de la agenda no le veo utilidad, de que nos sirve tenerla si desde ella no podemos llamar? Asi como el teclado de marcacion, que tampoco tiene boton para ir a contactos y poder llamar a alguien. No se si es que estoy haciendo algo mal, pero creo que no, que viene asi. Si lo miras en la tuya, me comentas que tal.

Tu que MCU y Rom usas? Yo estoy en V33 y 1.1.3 y de momento parece que todo bien. Mas adelante quizas use el tema que ha creado Nestor, parece sencillo para usarlo dia a dia. Tambien estoy pendiente de quitar la NavBar, pero de momento no se muy bien como hacerlo.

Un saludo!

Pues si la verdad , gracias a todos vamos personalizando el nu3001 , sobre la agenda a mi me deja llamar con los números que tengo guardados, si me meto en el panel numérico ,ahí si que no hay nada para ir a la agenda, solo las teclas de numeración, pero hoy trasteando hay un widget de llamada rápida, es decir de contacto, se que no es lo mismo, pero en mi caso, me va muy bien ya que suelo llamar a los mismos números siempre.

Otro pequeño problema que e encontrado hoy, es que si pongo a reproducir videoclips y lo pongo con la ventana flotante, cuando termina el vídeo no pasa al siguiente, se para.

y en cambio si lo dejas en el reproductor tal cual, si que pasa al siguiente. creo que es un fallo, ya que la gracia que tiene esta ventana flotante es el poder utilizar varias pantallas a la vez.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For if the truth, thank you all going personalizing nu3001 on the agenda to me let me call the numbers I have saved if I get into the number pad, then if there is nothing to go on the agenda, only the numbered keys, but today there is a widget tinkering speed dial, ie contact, which is not the same, but in my case, it's going very well and I usually call the same numbers forever.

Another small problem and I found today is that if I put to play video and put it with the floating window when the video ends does not pass to the next, it stops.

and instead if you leave it on the player as is, if it goes to the next. I think that is a failure, because the grace that has this floating window is to use multiple screens at once.

Just ordered one from newsmy. Took "a leap of faith", not that I expect much in terms of development of new features. I just hope we get Lollipop at some point. Anyway I have some questions to begin with:

Could someone with the VW specific one tell me what to expect from the canbus interface? I guess SWC works, but how about the small display in the dasboard/speedometer?

Anyone tried to hook it up with a dab adapter? Regular fm is supposed to shut down in 2017 here so DAB+ would be nice when driving outside populated areas. Dension has some interesting DAB solutions, but I need to think a bit more about it. I guess Ill start with mobile broadband and see how far I get ..

Also I was thinking that tasker should be able to dim the display according to time and location, anyone played with it?

Also it would be nice if someone could point me to useful apps for car use. The ones I know Ill be using is: Podcaster, google music, google maps , Copilot, ingress(yeah, i know), some local radio streaming apps, IFTTT, Plex, Torque, Tasker(If usefull). But what am I missing?

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Can't tell you about DAB since the US doesn't use it. I think if you can find something compatible with Android you will be ok.

Yes you can use tasker to dim the display, in fact I used to have a Tasker profile specifically for this when I used my Nexus 7 for a car tablet but I don't use it since the illumination circuit in the CarPad is enough. I have been thinking about using Twilight though.

Apps: maybe a car services app to track gas, mpg, oil changes, etc... Fuelly or aCar

Tablet Talk (txt and phone call notifications on stereo), Secure Settings (for extra control plugins for Tasker), Media Utilities (multi media player widgets and Tasker actions), Zooper Widgets Pro. Also, The OnDrive UI by nestortoledo looks nice.

So i updated to the latest 33 mcu and noticed one weird thing, if I have the radio on any app with audio coking from it, then start the car, the audio isn't paused, but it will dim down in volume, get distorted and then return to its original state prior to starting the engine, anyone else have this odd issue?

Some users are powering the android box through the miniusb port only. But I tried this and it does not power on (no green light). I plugged in a battery charger and no signs of powering up. Any tips on how to power it? Or could this be due to different variants of the android box? I got the 2gb with red "android" text on it.

EDIT: ok I got the box to power up by the full size USB port.

I have updated to v33 and rom 1.1.3 debloated and don't have this issue when turning the ignition during audio.

[Android Head-Units] Frze:
I have the VW model which replaced an RCD510 DAB unit. I have ordered this from Newsmy to give me digital TV using DVB-T2. You can get this from the Newsmy aliexpress accessories store: Store No.1453253

I will install along with a rear view camera when it arrives. I expect there will be some digital radio stations also.

Overall very satisfied with the unit, The audio output is clean and punchy, though the VW stock speakers lack bass response. I installed VIPER which helped with better low frequency boost. I will probably add a small underseat active sub. Spotify, Google now (with Samson USB mic) and 1080p video on an external 1 TB USB hard drive all work well. HERE Beta offline maps, Google Maps and Waze all work for navigation.

Some minor annoyances, the door open notifications are intrusive and seem to be wired incorrectly at the front. The OPS seem to kick in quite late compared to stock. There is also no MFA (FIS) instrument cluster display, (which would require the unit to understand the BAP protocol.) for audio or Nav.

I use the Ondrive UI from a forum member which is very nice to use.

My unit no longer boots.

Just started car, green light is on but nothing is on the screen.

Unplugged and plugged brain back in, green light is on but nothing is on the screen.

No clue what is wrong.

Worked fine yesterday.

Update:

The unit is on because my Bluetooth is connected. I can also hear the high pitched "static" from my speakers.

So there is something wrong with the screen.

Damn.

Can you link me to this DVB-T2 item for the newsmy unit? Does it have its own TV tuner app so it can control/record channels via the headunit touchscreen?

Can't change Boot Logo

Hi everybody!

I'm really impressed by the succes of this thread... I have found here more than i could expect on the entire web about that NU3001!

I'm french, my english is so poor and i've just received my own Nu3001! Apart some difficulties to connect it in my Alfa Romeo (ISO colors and place weren't the same!) - I have rooted my android box too and now I try to change my Boot animation and logo.

Following the threads, i read its recommended to use FFT - but I can t success in using it! FFT doesn't recognise the Android box...

I also tried Splash Screen Creator method - but reboot android box is not possible (no physical buttons to do that: press vol + power for exemple)

I finally installed "bootanimation.apk" then "ROM Toolbox Pro.apk" and could easily change Bootanimation... But no way to change Boot Logo! playstore offers me only paying apk to do that!!!

What could I do? Could someone explain me how works FFT?

Thanks

That doesn't seem like a legit seller, Newsmy themselves sell this for $355.

I got one of these

http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1860516816.html

It has its own app (PadTV HD) from the app store that works great and allows you to record shows, has EPG (electronic program guide) and can finger swipe through channels. The tuner and app are both DVB-T and T2 compatible. Works on my Galaxy S2 and Nexus 5. Still waiting on my NU3001 to arrive to test it but there shouldn't be any problems.

It comes with 3 antennas, but I already have an antenna with an amplifier. So I had to buy a MCX male to SMA male adapter and a micro USB female to mini USB male adapter to be able to use the OTG port on the Android Box.

Does anyone know if there's a Bluetooth update for this unit? Just got my new siriusxm lynx radio and its hit and miss for syncing properly to the radio, which is a huge let down as I planned on using Bluetooth audio vs the auxiliary in :(
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
That sucks Usafle

Hopefully you still have warranty

No still no solution yet. I send Summer a complete TT version to test.

This can't be true.... that's even cheaper than a separated AB :confused:

Or is it a Chinese Christmas gift :D:D
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Well, second day in a row where my unit hasn't booted up after sitting for a 8hr period in the cold, the radio itself turns on, but the android box doesn't :( the green light is on but nothing is being displayed on screen. This is when I start go dislike China stuff, as they don't tend to test their products in various weather conditions :(

It's only started doing this since the mcu upgrade, curious if that has anything go do with it, as I've had similar cold nights in the past with no issues. May need to do aa total system wipe and start with a fresh rom & mcu install

Its -11c outside currently.
[Android Head-Units] parazit26:
Yes it's the mcu v33. Had the same issue. I rolled back to v31 and today morning everything is working as it suppose to.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm okay thanks for the info, will roll back later today
[Android Head-Units] parazit26:
I think we all have the same issue. Leave the unit on for 10mins then just press the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on again. The unit should go on. Roll back to mcu v31 and the problem should be gone.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm that does sound similar to mine, as it worked fine before going into work last night & the night before, come out after my shift and there's no video sent to the screen

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
If you could, that would be great as I'm still playing with mine at the moment.

------------------------

For everyone's awareness my unit started this morning no problem at -1 deg C on a rebuild of Renedis's de-bloated 1.1.3 no soft buttons with MCU 33. Not the freezing temperatures some are experiencing but ice was being scraped off the windows.

Note however I do get some glitches after initial boot with audio drop out and the SWC can be a bit unresponsive to start with although I know I have to do some work on the physical buttons. These tend to fix themselves after a few minutes and were also experienced on older versions of the rom/mcu.

------------------------

Also I have managed to replace the boot logo and animation with the instructions posted by Toollogic (?) and follow ups by Bocky Wocky so thanks guys. I used a combination of irfanview, Inkscape, XDA Boot Animation Factory and FFT to repackage the image. I will post my files and any modification to the instructions up once I have a decent animation going (bit basic for now).

As an aside I noticed that Renedis' unzipped upgrade.img file was about 700MB+ in size whereas the repackaged one is 400MB+. I was a bit concerned but not sure if its something to do with how they are compressed.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
OK, I'll give that a try. I've been hitting the power button like a crazy person though trying to get the screen to come back on though before
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
For mobile TV you really need 2 tuners - TV is not designed for mobile reception - diversity (2 antennas) allows decent reception, with 1 it wont be very good. Also, the Newsmy TV boxes are generic car TV boxes, they dont have an integral app, you d have to use the composite video in app (ike the HuiFei TV boxes/cards) and a remote control, not ideal, especially as composite video is very low quality and not capable of transmitting HD video, so any claims of the TV boxes being "HD" are nonsense - they may be able to receive the signal but they cant display it on the screen - the menus will also very fuzzy and not very clear, the total opposite of the (HDMI) picture from the Android side of things. The HuiFeis at least have an app so it can be accessed from Android, but apart from that they suffer from the same problems as TV on the Newsmy - for some reason these Chinese manufacturers use a 10 year old design of TV box (badly) adapted to work with Android (in the case of the HuiFeis) and not adapted at all in the Newsmy's case. [MENTION=1937249]jpapadami[/MENTION]'s dongle is better, but it only has 1 antenna, unfortunately no one makes a diversity TV tuner for Android.

Questions about ROOT V1.1.3

Hey you Guys, a litte off Topic today :)

Since yall know, i´ve got the NU5261S-H (made for Volkswagen AG) and just to mention it again, its without WinCE, its pure android ;)

Just updated my HU.

-first MCU from V27 to V33

-second ROM from V1.0.9 to V1.1.3

(Updated via SD- Card, no big deal)

now i´ve been trying to get ROOT on my Android Box with Kingo-ROOT App you can find in NU3001 Wiki.

But my Win8 Laptop is not able to find drivers even though i force my Computer directly into the driver folder :/

anyone any solution or different way to get root with Stock ROM?

Appreciate your help :)

TomTom GPS not found.

We have to wait for someone who can copy the GPS HAL from CyanogenMod to our units.

I have already all GPS files extracted from CM11, but I'm not sure if I can just copy them into the H.U or need more actions to take?

Maybe this is something interesting about our GPS ( UBLOX 6M )

There is also an U-Blox evaluation App. It also allows you e.g. to check NMEA messages from the receiver

I don't think I have seen any diversity antenna TV tuners for a computer in general. If there is Linux support for a specific TV Tuner, then it's a matter of enabling it in the kernel and re-compile and then take that kernel and include it with the update.img.

I have successfully compiled my own version of the kernel (Red's kernel) but have not used the tool to include the new kernel in with the update.img. Maybe this week I'll test it out. I enabled the usb audio for DACS and USBVision TV tuner/v4l2.

I have tested out the DAB TV tuner RT820 under the NU3001. Installed the driver and SDR software from the play store. It worked great. I had my SDR radio running on the NU3001 in about 10 minutes. CW on 40m sounded great...!

That's the other problem. Are there any applications for Android that will display video output for v4l2 devices?
