Thx Manfred.62. Will try, and report back :)

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Worked - thanks again, Manfred ! I got Google Maps with text-to-voice installed both.

Next issue.... when I run an app (Google Maps in this case), the radio switches off. Sorry for a perhaps stupid question, but how do I keep the radio playing?? must be a setting in the system - or something I need to do in connection with this hack??

Thanks in advance for any trick you have :D

EDIT: I think I only turned on the radio via the app - could that be it? I'll try to turn it on via the top-left hardware button. Something to test.....
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
You have to use the right settings. Look at http://www.cmdroid.com/tutorials for parameters

Got it. Will work with this to get Maps running Even through driving.

However. No matter what app I run, radio dies. Even when running the stock/system ones, not just the newly installed ones. Must be missing something..

EDIT: now I got Google Maps going - works nicely. Also while driving. But radio dies - no matter what app I run. Both if car is stopped or driving.

Did anyone managed to get root on this? I want to copy the garmin maps folder so that i avoid the problem i had last time when the seller had to replace the unit entirely.
[Security Discussion] xoxoJI:
yes, and at the same time how to brick it ;)

Hi, can you elaborate more on this? :P
[Security Discussion] xoxoJI:
here, in the thread, were few posts, one of member found "hidden" USB port somewhere behind a panel and tried to root HU. But bricked it. Dealer change it by warranty. No more attempts were made as i know ;)

Hello Everybody.

Just a question: Is it possible to get away the annoying warning-screen at Startup?

I was looking for a way to disable warning-screen on some forums without success.

I discover this screen goes out after about 10 seconds on some countries, like USA, but on others, like Australia and Brazil (my case), it remains indefinitely until you press OK button.

I think these differences reveals the screen can be disabled.

hi. 1st post to group. what is the latest version of WAZE people have running without issue on the system. i have a 2016 civic tourer android 4.0.4. i have tried using the latest version on cmdroid but when tapping the report event button i get a big grey circle from the bottom right and it freezes. i have also tried other 4.* versions and experience the same issue. 3* versions work generally ok. any ideas on rectifying this? many thanks great thread!
[Security Discussion] sleepwalk3r:
The latest 3.X versions work generally fine. The only problem I found is that the app usually freezes if you let it running before turning off the ignition for a longer time. I also tend to wait for wifi to come up before starting the app - otherwise it does not pick up internet connection.

4+ versions are buggy on Honda Connect - it freezes almost every time it tries to display a popup notification (eg. friends online, advertisements, etc..). Plus all the other - minor - bugs that are present in 3.X

So i have been looking to ways to automate some stuff inside the car, sadly nothing has come to light really, mainly due to the extreme limits of 4.0.4 with more up to dates apps, and needing root access for some things.

Has anyone had any luck with possible voice recognition?

Tasker doesn't work, but Droid Automation App (Free & Pro) does very well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.droidautomation.pro&hl=en_GB

Buy/Install on your phone or tablet, the extract the apk (ES File Explorer does this), rename to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk and install into your car.
[Security Discussion] liamf91:
I Will certainly try that I think. How would I get to hear me while driving? Does it work similar to alexa ?
[Security Discussion] adevel:
Exactly. I use version 3 because 4 only works while you don't press anything. It shows the maps but you cannot report or pick any other option. But version 3 works as expected, and yes, it crashes if it does not have internet, but I close it and open again.

The app that I use the most is Ulysse Speedometer that is really something. It has a great UI but it records as tracks your trips. It can record trip by trip until you reset and has a few more options that I love.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

It might be possible to disable it but from factory it's forced by Honda to make you responsible on how you use the Connect. Portuguese versions of Connect demand the OK button to be pressed and if not pressed, screen goes blank until you press ok.

I would love to remove this too, so let's hope someone finds a way.

I've scrolled through 200+ pages but just in case I've missed something...

Mike's Permissions is not working (either using USB or direct download to Connect) as install is deactivated, factory reset doesn't help either.

Hi, does anyone know an app ( like Droid Automation or something else ) for preventing certain installed apps to starting on their own after boot ?

I know that Android have another arhitecture for memory management vs Windows, but I don't know much about that. I have installed several apps on my HU, and I always see in Activity Manager a couple of apps running in background, even if I've didn't opened them before ( sygic, deezer, firefox, ES File Manager, Youtube ... ) and I have the impression that these running (/speeping ? ) apps are using memory ( usefull memory for other desired apps, that is, apps that I will open ) . I suspect that sometimes, the lack of avaiable memory, causes some apps to crash, or stuck...

I didn't rule out other possible causes. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming this scenario and Android doesn't funtion that way, but it's worth trying ?
[Security Discussion] tilleke:
Siri (iPhone) works when calling it from the steering wheel but I cannot get Google Now (or perhaps it is called Google Assistant now) to work. I don't recall exactly the message I see on the screen but it is something like "Cannot access the smartphone".

Is it possible to get it working with Google Now? If yes, what steps do I need to take?

Thanks.

Just like in any Android device, you can choose the autostart apps with the All-In-One Toolbox: Cleaner, Booster, App Manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.toolbox.full

Haven't installed it on my car, but you can get the .apk and put it on a USB pen and install it. But let me warn you about the .APK download cause every site I checked it has malware. You do have to do some tricks to get the .APK and no **** on your computer.

Done that, it was not fun.

Today I went and try to download a few, but the last one I used is not working. Found the http://apk-dl.com/ but it was too simples, so it needs further investigation and install the .apk on a real phone before do some damage on the car.

But this one might get it ok https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Try it on a phone first. I will probably use this last one to get a few more apps for the car, some that are not on the cmdroid.net page... yet!

[Security Discussion] crystip:
Thanks for this recommendation, but it's not exactly what I want.

So, on my Android 4.0.4 without root access, what I want is:- installed apps to stay dead or freeze

until I open them

and to remain dead after I close the apps from Activity Manager. That is I think, I will not see them in the working memory.

I've already use an built-in Apps Optimizer on my not-rooted phone, and the option Boot Optimization it's not enough for what I want, because even if the selected apps doesn't start after booting, which I suspect it's not the case for certain apps, some of them like Whatsapp, some navigators, etc will start anyway at a latter time and will eat memory. This might be important to our 1GB memory HU.

On the newer versions of Android, you can do that from Android Settings, Disable App.

I will check again on the HU to see if there is a Disable button for the apps that I've installed.

With the RC6 you can install Sygic, copying the files with ESfilexplorer to the Honda Connect unit. After updating to RC6.1 the copying process is cut and the error "task failed" appears.

I have managed to install it from a USB stick connected to the USB port. It worked better and faster before, now I notice many delays and closures of the Sygic application. Would anyone know how to copy, without root, the files to the drive? Thank you
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Have you reset permissions since RC6.1?
[Security Discussion] ENRIQUEMM:
No, unfortunately I did not copy the permissions before updating
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
No problem. If you still have Mike's permissions installed then it might just need the HondaAppCenter_A1 altering. Go to home screen. Tap 6 dots and then open Honda Permissions. Find HondaAppCenter_A1. It should have PREINSTALL under the name. If it has a load of random letters and numbers then press and hold the HondaAppCenter_A1 and an edit pen appears top right. Tap pen and edit allowed installations appears. Change whatever under 'Sig digest sha256' to PREINSTALL. Save and all should be good.

Hi can anyone share me the garmin apk file
[Security Discussion] ENRIQUEMM:
I think you have not understood the problem, I can install apps, I installed esfilexplorer, sygic, honda permissions. But the problem is when I try to copy the maps (sygic folder) to the honda connect unit with the fileexplorer app. Before the update (rc6) completed the copy, in fact there is enough space for the almost 800 mb it occupies. But now with rc6.1 it starts the copy but when it has copied about 200 mb it appears the error "the task failed" and it does not complete it.

If that works the sygic app but from the pendrive connected to the usb port, and this is how it gives me some unexpected closure and it shows a lot of lag. Thank you anyway.

Hello

Thanks for all your comments in this thread - I've spent a long time going through in order to install third party APKs on my new CRV.

I'm running 4.0.4, Linux 3.1.10 and 0F.095.01.1123 (Not sure which RC this is)

It's a NAVI unit with Garmin installed.

I've reset to factory settings three times now, tried installing Permissions from CMDroid and USB and allowed 3rd party installations in security. Despite all this the install option is greyed out or the install fails (from the download file).

Is there anything I am missing? Or have they closed the loophole with the latest version? If so is there anyway to force permissions to install or rollback to an earlier RC?

Thanks very much for your help. Appreciated!!

If you use an android phone it will have Google tts installed. Use an app to make an apk from it and copy to usb, rename and install on the hu. Otherwise download the apk from play store. These should be spyware free.

Unfortunately Honda Permissions has stopped

Hey all. Thanks for the incredibly useful information.

I have successfully rooted the head unit and installed multiple apps. However, some of them don't work as well as they should since I cannot adjust permissions. I have installed the Honda Permissions app, but when I try running it, I get the error "Unfortunately Honda Permissions has stopped".

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've emptied the cache, I've reset the head unit.

Any ideas?

Have 4.0.4 v, trying to install according to your instructions but failed at the begining of the process because "installation" button is grayed out. Maybe the reason is the update made by honda dealer a week ago.

First thing you need to install is Mike's permissions from cmdroid. But you need to do a factory reset first to go back to the original Honda App Center. Can you check which version of Honda App Center you have after factory resetting?

[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Ah, misunderstanding. Of course you can backup the permissions and restore it.

But in this case it seems to be a bigger problem with RC7. Sounds like it's no more possible to install any app.

At all users with RC7 (and after any Connect update). After you get the car back from your dealer:

go to android settings and make a factory reset

after reboot system is "clean"

now go to android settings and set "allow installation from unknown sources"

don't do any update of Honda apps!!!!

now start again and try to install a apk like before

Installing apks still not possible??
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Mine goes in on Monday got service. Be interesting if they update Connect. Doubt it as they didn't even want to do RC6.

Hopefully, they are getting unit ready for bigger things. Android Auto would be nice.

Understand what you mean about installing apps after RC7. I've obviously misunderstood other forum post.

Fingers crossed and see what Monday brings. Will keep all informed.

[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Can imagine they have on new models where the Honda App Center is 1.3.5 as installed with the random code instead of preinstall but for older ones you should still be able to go back to the early Honda App Center and install the permissions. That is unless RC7 makes a complete brand new install of everything as per factory but can't imagine Honda doing/paying for that.

Hi,

I'm using two memory stick in the car since a few months ago. Suddenly, the head unit doesn't see them anymore and I have no usb icon on the display. Does anyone experienced the same issue ?

Maybe is good to mention that I'm using a 4G WiFi Router, very close to them.

I've tried to unplug - plug them, I've tried only one of them in both usb slots, but nothing happened.

Only after I did a reset - 10 second power button, both of them appeared in the ES file explorer, after the usb icon was shown. But the next day, the problem reappeared.

I'll try to see if the unit will work with some other memory stick, and if a computer see them or not, although it's hard to believe that both of them died in the same time.
[Security Discussion] Ilanio:
I had same problem. It disappeared completely after a factory reset. Try to change the version of ES explorer...

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Using Mike Permissions you need to set "VideoOut" parameter to "OFF" on each App you want to use when driving.

There's another option that unlocks video when you driving for the unit (all apps):

1. Go to HOME screen (press HOME button)

2. Press and hold POWER, BRIGHTNESS, MENU (Touch) until you enter on diagnostics screen:

3. Select the second button (in this option you can enable "developer mode" to enable developer menu on the unit).

4. On this new screen, press and hold MENU again for 7 seconds. You will enter on Settings Menu. Be careful when changing something. Wrong settings can brick your unit.

5. On settings menu, go to option VSP ERROR and set it to OFF.

6. Click RETURN on the top-right of screen.

7. Search for SNAPSHOT option and set it to ON (This will record changes made on VPS ERROR parameter, otherwise you will need to change it everytime you turn on your unit).

8. Now click RETURN on the top-right of screen until return to HOME screen.

After these changes all Apps will show on screen even you are driving.

To install Apps, remember to change the name of APKs to "HondaAppCenter_A1.apk" before install it.

I think that's all.

Post #2072 and #2074 seem to confirm that you can't install apps on new CRV with RC7 from factory. Similar posts on another Honda forum where they were unable to install apps on new CRV with RC7.

Know these are only two instances but seem to confirm that Honda have closed the backdoor installation route on new vehicles with RC7 from factory.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can find a way around the present inconvenience.

Can't understand Honda's thinking as Android devices are designed to run apps from Play Store and Honda don't want you to be able to do that.
