[Motorola Droid 4] Oggie7797:
I do not build this, I am not the maintainer, and all I am doing is posting this because we don't have a thread and I am sure ya'll would enjoy an easy spot for downloads. I can confirm it boots but I restored my CM12.1 backup before taking any screens. The whole 5 minutes I was on it was nice and snappy.

Installation:

Make sure you have v3.75 SafeStrap by @Stargo otherwise you won't be able to flash and boot this (or any) Lollipop ROM. Personally, I like the no splash version by @Mentor.37. Sure, his also does the whole "safe slot" thing which is cool, but I just use it for the no splash (faster boot). :)

Thanks for this ROM, it works pretty well. I have only one issue. Hardware buttons (menu, home, back) doesn't work. I can feel haptic feedback, so buttons are working, but system doesn't respond.

Now I'm using navigation bar, so system is usable.

Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
Broken hardware keys is a bug in the latest nightly. Use the 05-22-2015 build. Users have reported better stability and speed with that build. Plus, the hardware keys are working in the 05-22-2015 nightly.

Why don't you start the thread, and not post in this thread, which has nothing to do with that rom?
[Motorola Droid 4] doener:
I freshly installed the version from the 22 june 2015. It feels nice and snappy, I like to see someone making a current android rom for older phones. However, on the droid 4 still to buggy for me.

- Software keyboard is shown even when hardware keyboard is out

- data roaming is enabled by default

- phone menu crashes always, (used mentors gsm patch while installing), cant disable data roaming

The domain "liquidsmooth.net" seemed to point to this Google Plus Community.

From there seem to be some links to basketbuild directories containing ROMs. Some of them are deleted now but there are also some still available.

[Verizon LG G3] MrBaltazar:
Hi, all. I just purchased a Verizon G3 running 23C.

However, I am using AT&T as my carrier. HSPA is working fine but it's extremely slow compared to LTE. From what I understand and what I'd read, AT&T uses band 4 which I believe is in my area. but what I've also read is that the 23C doesn't allow AT&T band 4 LTE to be used and that only 10b can be used to achieve LTE.

I'm comfortable downgrading to 10b to root and load a custom lollipop Rom, but is there any way I can keep the 10b modem so I can use LTE?

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
non stock roms dont flash the modem, so you should be able to put on whatever modem you want.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
According to another thread I read recently E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/filename.zip', recent versions of custom CM12.1 ROMs check to see if your modem is up to date, so a very recently updated CM12/12.1 ROM might not even flash without modification.

Just heads up, you might have to put on the modem you want AFTER. Whether CM12/12.1 works with an old modem, I have no idea.
[Verizon LG G3] MrBaltazar:
Thanks, I decided to trade it in and buy a g4 instead to avoid the issue
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kansasboy001:
I am working on a port of asus audio wizard which is based on maxx audio for all 32bit qualcomm devices. I want to edit the presets to include an "off mode" where the eq is flat and all features are turned off as the app does not have an off effect on its own. I have been working with android for quite sometime and am no stranger to editing something like dolby presets. The problem I have is that the .mps file is unreadable in any text editor I have used on either windows or linux. I have tried every language in notepad++ and nothing will properly read this file. Please help me identify this language so I can edit it and we all can have Asus Audio Wizard!! File is attached in a zip

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furrycurry:
Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this as well as any possible suggestions. I have noticed when watching videos I have recorded on my phone via ANY camera app produce fine videos. When I attempt to watch them, however, there is noticeable stuttering and lag where the video does not completely freeze at all but looks almost slightly jumpy. I have uploaded a few of the videos to YouTube and noticed when watching those there is no stuttering. I have not had the chance to try Playback via PC. Does anyone else notice this? Is the phone just lagging playing the natively recorded video files back? I'm only doing 1080p btw, not 4K. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
mine plays back my 4K recorded videos just fine(of course its not in 4K on the phone when watching)..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeldmanning:
Bump! I have this same issue. I thought it was my video recording choppy, but now that I checked on another device I see it's a playback problem. I'm on 5.1.1 T-Mobile Motorola phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeldmanning:
Anyone? I still have this problem, which is only playback related. If I can give MX player to play the videos things are fine, but somehow Photos eventually takes neck default control and its a pain in my ass!

What's the best android head unit available for <1000$ for VW/Skoda?

Is Quad Core and 2 Gb RAM state of the art?

What if it comes to EQ Settings, MCU sound processor and amplifier chip? I want a good sound and to be able to adjust the sound to the car.

[Android Head-Units] guap:
not a fan of "who's the best" but I think this is the most supported android HU

http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/4-4-2-kitkat-head-unit-newsmy-carpad-t2865525

see in the wiki for vw variant, 2bg ram and 4 core. My unit works great, I installed one in golf6 for a friend and mine is going to be installed on my scirocco in a couple of days :) Have a nice reading :D
[Android Head-Units] DiGiTY:
I was curious about what the best was too, but then realized in this scene with these manufacturers the best is essentially the most actively supported. The newsmy carpad nu3001 seems to be the most supported singular model at the moment and the RK3188 variant head unit may be the best spec'd because of the quad core and it appears to be the latest chipset
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
I would say just look for specs. An RK3188 is the standard right now for what I've seen (don't think there's anything more powerful) and 2GB RAM is more than adequate. Look for other things that you might need/like (screen size and resolution, Android version, etc). In the end, it doesn't matter much which specific headunit you have as long as the chipset is supported so going with a RK3188 means there'll be plenty of options.
[Android Head-Units] DiGiTY:
Where did you find a 2 GB RAM head unit? Link?
[Android Head-Units] albus123:
Sorry I am not allowed to post links yet. Just google something like "2gb android quad core car" or search for the same in aliexpress.

You'll find 2GB from a few sellers now. Sometimes it's optional.

Which android unit has the best hardware when it comes to sound quality?

THD, Noise etc.
[Android Head-Units] JakubAnderwald:
Yup, sound quality and overall quality of the unit matters most to me. I don't need all of the fancy features, but the unit needs to be reliable, well made and playing music in a good quality. I haven't seen that being a priority for majority of the chinese units described here :)
[Android Head-Units] albus123:
Have you seen good sound quality in any android unit yet?

Or which don't have good clear sound?
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
I have a Navall 3 that has a quad core RK3188/2gb mem/16 storage/DAB+FM radio.
[Android Head-Units] albus123:

How is sound quality?
[Android Head-Units] moti_r:
+1 here for SQ head unit

I'm desperately reading the forum here, and am really keen on ordering the newsmy VW flavor.

I don't mind the software annoyances, can live with them or try to fix.

For me, there are two major hardware concerns:

1. I absolutely cannot give up a superb RCA OUT quality.

Got a Pioneer head-unit now and the sound quality is great!

It is connected to a high-quality amp, a component set and a subwoofer.

If I install the android unit and discover SQ is not as good as my current setup, I will have to ditch it :(

2. I need the ability to separately control the speakers and the subwoofer.

This should include high-pass/low-pass filters, just like I have with my Pioneer.

I was thinking about using an external USB DAC. Have verified that this is indeed supported with the newsmy units.

But this will only leave me with a stereo out, without the ability to control the subwoofer.

The Ownice units do have 5.1 RCA output, but it looks like they are not well maintained and there are severe bugs plaguing all around their software.

Plus, I love the way newsmy separates the screen from the brains. It would be so much easier to configure and upgrade in the future.

OP - I think we share the same concerns, right?

Now what do we do? :)
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
They use quite good parts in that device, the radio is from NPX 6624(Philips), Bluetooth v3.0, U-BLOX GPS/GLONASS receiver, and it has a STMicroelectronics mosfet amplifier (4x 45 watt), but i have a Audison 5.1k system in the car and it sounds fantastic.

You can find all the parts on Google
[Android Head-Units] albus123:
How is the DAB+ set up?

Internal, external? Can you send a link?
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
Its internal , and this is a short clip with the radio in action, this was the test case in my car /watch?v=7I2RS_9ig7o and this is the final software that is now installed in the Navall 3 /watch?v=AL1Bo5MRKYI
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
How often do you use the DVD player? Do you just stream movies directly on the HU itself via hotspotting? I appreciate this thread as I am in the market of getting a new HU. I was looking at a Pioneer but having a OnePlus One that option is out since we do not have a HDMI/MHL output. I know it's a crap shoot with these Chinese radios and do not want to throw money away being a teacher ha
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
Sound quality is pretty good on these units but they do have limitations regarding the controls for the subwoofer and the HP, LP settings. I also had a Pioneer HU before and this one sounds just as good to me using the same setup (Pioneer components on all 4 doors, 2 Pioneer shallow mount subs and a 1200 watts Rockford amp). What I did was settle for setting LP and HP on the amp and it's been just fine for me. A handy trick I used was that I hooked up the subs to the rear out on the stereo and then I shift the front and rear balance on the HU in order to alter the mix between the subs and the speakers. It's not quite the same as having LP and HP on the unit but it does the trick.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I've only used the DVD player a handful of times (just for testing it and making sure it works actually). I usually play videos from a USB drive or stream them from YouTube, but the DVD player works just fine. It takes a few seconds to start (I find it to be a little longer than it should) but nothing that would be a real issue in my opinion.
[Android Head-Units] moti_r:
Thanks for the great info!

I'm also with a rockford amp (plus a Hertz component, which I'm not sure if sold in the US).

The HU I'm looking at (the newsmy 3001) doesn't even have a way to change balance - just a single pair of RCA outs. I think as a first step I'll try to disconnect the dedicated sub out from my Pioneer HU and use the onboard amp crossovers to HP/LP the components and the sub. Hopefully that will provide a decent configuration. If that works, I will go ahead and get the android unit.

The most critical factor for me was the RCA SQ and your inputs are tremendous here.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
War Rasta,

Which unit do you have?
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
Glad to help. Post again when you make a decision.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I have a Pumpkin KD-C0234 that I bought off of Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Pumpkin-Recei...d=1436365438&sr=1-1&keywords=pumpkin+kd-c0234
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Is Pumpkin the best? Is Newsmy as good? Is Joying and Pumpkin the same HU? If you were me, would you holdout a bit to see if Lollipop units rollout or do you

think it will not be that big of a difference.

Thank you for your help!
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
In my opinion, they're all pretty much the same regarding build quility and sound (I only have 1 unit, but I read a lot before buying and that's the impression I got). I bought mine based on which unit looked good, had decent specs (including a recent Android version) and was within my price range.

If you find a unit with Lollipop that would be a good thing to have, but I wouldn't wait for it. I can't think of anything that Lollipop brings to the table that would increase the usability or features of the headunit. Besides, I can't say anything for sure, but I guess it's possible that somebody will come out with a Lollipop ROM at some point that you can flash later.
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Should I forgo a DVD/CD player model since I really do not have either one? Would I lose out on anything?
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
That's really up to you. I chose one with a DVD player because I think I might use it some times (mostly when I have somebody else riding with me and they might want to watch a concert or whatever. Maybe movies for long trips with kids). If you decide to get one without a DVD player you won't lose anything else and usually these units have a slightly bigger screen when they don't have a DVD slot taking up space or it might be a little cheaper since they don't have to include the hardware for the DVD player.
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Most of my movies are on a HD so I would use a USB or SD to play them if I could not stream them. Is a 3g Dongle important? Will LTE go through the 3g? Is Hot spotting just easier?

I really do appreciate all of your help
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
A 3g dongle would make things a little easier since you would only need to plug it into one of the USB ports and forget about it, but it also means that you would need to pay for a separate data plan for it which I assume you wouldn't want to do. You can use your smartphone as a hotspot (that's what I do) and it works just fine but you would need to turn the hotspot on manually or use an app to turn it on automatically when the phone is connected to the headunit via bluetooth. There's also the fact that your phone's battery will drain a lot faster if you're using it as a hotspot so you should probably plut it in to a car charger whenever you're driving around.

I don't use the internet all that much since I mostly use my stereo for music and videos that I have on a USB drive so I don't always have the hotspot activated on my phone. I mostly just turn it on when I'with the GF so she can use YouTube and Spotify since I don't have most of the things she likes to listen to.

If you're undecided abut what to do I'd say try hotspotting first and if you still want to get a 3g dongle you can always buy one later if you need to. Just keep an eye on your data usage when you're hotspotting since watching a lot of YouTube can eat through your data plan pretty quickly. I'd also recommend to set the Google Play app to NOT update applications automatically so you can do it at a time when you're at home or something (assuming your wifi signal reaches wherever you park your car).
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
I've got a 20GB data plan so I'm not worried about going over. Most I've ever used is 4 of it and that's streaming music as I drive and lift.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Also, how hard is it to root a 4.4.4 model??
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
You won't have a problem with hotspotting then. As for rooting, the best thing to do is to flash a new ROM that's already rooted. Flashing these units is fairly easy; jutst copy the file to the SD, boot into recovery, select the image to flash and leand back while it finishes.
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Do I need to install a recovery? Is it similar to rooting and flashing a phone? Hopefully last question, is there certain units to stay away from?
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
You don't need to install a recovery, but the way to boot into it will vary depending on which unit you get. None of the methods are really difficult, just a little different one from the other. As far as I know there isn't a ceratin unit or manufacturer to stay away from. They're all pretty similar on the inside and the build quality is also about the same. There are countless brands for these stereos but in the end they're all manufactured by just about 3 companies for the OEMs who then resell them under their brand. For example, the brand name on mine is Pumpkin, but the manufacturer is most likely a company called Klyde (I don't remember exactly which one it is right now).
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Thank you so much!
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
Any time. Come back if you have any more questions.
[Android Head-Units] ibengood:
Once I select one or two, I may ask your opinion on them if that's ok.
[Android Head-Units] DiGiTY:
I'm not sure if this is a Lollipop only feature, but having the playback controls (for 3rd party music apps) and brightness control in the pull down notification tray/center is what I'm looking forward to (I don't have steering wheel controls or playback buttons on my head unit). Though Lollipop running on these cheap CPUs and only 1 to 2 GB of RAM makes me weary.
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
I have brightness control on the notification tray and playback controls will depend mostly on which app you're using. For example, PowerAmp shows up in the tray and has controls right there, but some other players don't. There are some apps you could use if you want a generic solution though. I remember back in the day I used to run some application (I have no idea what it's called) that sat on the tray and allowed me to customize a bunch of quick toggles for wifi, bluetooth, etc. There must be something like it that would allow you to have media controls that would work with whichever apps support it.

I don't know if all players support these types of controls though. For Example, my steereing wheel controls work fine with PowerAmp but they don't work at all with Spotify or YouTube.

Heh, my 7" head unit has been installed for less than a week and I'm already dreading the screen size... Is there a 8" or 9" universal unit out there with at least 2 GB memory?
[Android Head-Units] bernard69:
Probably 8" or bigger unit doesn't fit well with conventional 2din frame(plastic part)...or does exist special 2din frame???
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
I don't think you could get one like that since it wouldn't fint. MAYBE there could be an 8" one if it didn't have any physical buttons at all, but definitely not a 9" one.
[Android Head-Units] nomailing:
It seems the Naval 3 is available with 8" to 10" screens for specific car models. If you go to the Navall store and search for "Navall 3" it lists some models with larger screens. These are the ones I found:

Honda CRV ANDROID 4.4.2 10"

Kia K2 RIO ANDROID 4.4.2 8"

SEAT ANDROID 4.4.2 8"

Toyota Camry ANDROID 4.4.2 8"

Toyota Corolla 2006 2007 2008 2009-2011 ANDROID 4.4.2 8"

Volkswagen 2012-14 Tiguan ! ANDROID 4.4.2 10"

Volkswagen VW Passat, Golf, CC And More ! ANDROID 4.4.2 8"

I am currently looking for a new used car, which allows me to integrate a large screen Android Head-Unit. But I am not sure if 7" vs 8" is worth to buy a specific car brand ;).
[Android Head-Units] DiGiTY:
Doesn't look like any of these off brand makers make anything for my car (Chrysler 300) so I'm limited to their universal versions/models.
