Tom, great stuff, will try it!

Btw, anyone has idea how to install app that requires 4.1? AutoMate is the most interesting app for my car :(
[Security Discussion] pasen01:
So, could it be possible to use the com.aha.android.app instead? Maybe not possible if it is removed upon uninstallation of the real Aha app... Too bad i have the garmin nav. Could you specify how you modified the root package? Is this possible to do for any existing (non open-source as well) APK out there?
[Security Discussion] tomzero:
I think yes. Somebody wrote that parking or fuel app is also working while driving. com.navx.essence and com.navx.parking.

Maybe possible, because applistupdate updated separately, so if you uninstall an app, updated package list stay there (maybe).

Yes, google for "apk change package name".
[Security Discussion] pasen01:
I'll have to try that. But at first glance it looks like I need something else than OSX, damn it...

[Security Discussion] sheridan2000:
i have 4.0.4 non sat nav connect unit....
[Security Discussion] pasen01:
This looks promising. Would be amazing if it's possible to write an app to add custom user-entered applications/package names to the list with same permissions as garmin, for example. Im not that good at Java, but this would be awesome.

I'll try to change the package name on Waze to the com.aha.android.app, however it does not seem to have the same persmissions as garmin. But i'll give it a try.

EDIT: Could it be possible to install a terminal emulator using the AppCenter.apk method, and therefore be granted the same access as the App Center, and hopefully have write access to replace the permissions file with a modified one?

How did you extract/read the process_controls.list file on your headunit?

EDIT2:

My attempts on changing package name for waze was unsuccessful. I may need to do more research... :)

managed to install gmaps an old version that runs on 4.0.4...only 2 issues are can work with handbrake off and needs wifi connection as cant download maps without signing into account....and cant do that on unit....

What version? Could you give me the url apk ?, please.

I try to install "here maps" (nokia) but I think that is not supported for that version. It does not let me. Ideally, a GPS with offline maps

What version? Could you tell me the apk ? Sygic is very good option. Does all right? ¿ Gps, maps?

Hello, have you found how to connect to the back of head unit of the HR-V with a laptop in USB OTG ?

here is the cable in question.

[Security Discussion] 3nigm4:
As other pointed out, there's a micro USB connector for upgrading (?) directly the unit (if you have a complete firmware).

That cable is only needed if you have an unused USB port on the back of the unit. In my HR-V both USB ports are already accessible from the dashboard, but are useless for the purpose you expect.

Has anyone tried Waze 4.28, the last version which can still run on Android 4.0? Does it still freeze when you stop at a red light?

Hello the RC7 update is it output? my dealer tells me about RC6.2 !? is it compatible with honda permissions?
[Security Discussion] budapestkave:
Try and share your results with us. AFAIK, so far we have no information about RC6.2, not even about the existence of it.
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Try installing permissions. If it is ok then it will install, otherwise it will not. Though not heard of 6.2. It might be country specific.

It works so fine for me.

The later versions (4+ of Waze) do seem to have issues with Connect 4.0.4, they should work but don't seem to work properly.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

So, I still don't know why this is good, but I managed to root my 2016 Jazz head unit. It's really easy and straight-forward using KingRoot.

WARNING! I'm not responsible for any damage of your head unit. Use it for your own risk.

Step-by-step what I did:

-Apply a factory reset trough android settings

-Connect to a WiFi network (KingRoot may need it?)

-Install Honda Permission app (all credits goes to [MENTION=6358174]S_Mike[/MENTION])

-Get KingRoot apk from kingroot DOT net, rename it to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk and install like any other app.

-Run the app, and let it do the rest for you.

(-Finally I installed a Terminal emulator, to play around the system a bit)

Be aware, that changing system files might result in bootloop / damage of your head unit, so be extremly careful! Great power comes with great responsibility;)
[Security Discussion] budapestkave:
Exactly. Just try to resist the urge to report anything in Waze and simply use it as a Google Maps alternative.

Cool stuff and congrats :) :good: The best would be finding out how to disable the annoying safety notification which appears each time the device is turned on.
[Security Discussion] happyhammer66:

[Security Discussion] danny58:
Press and hold "MENU"+"Day/Night"+"POWER" button (in this order) for about five seconds until the display changes. Select "Detail Information & Setting", then select "Version". If the build versione begins with 0C.091. ..... you have RC4, if it begins with 0E.094. .... you have RC5 or RC6.

I have a UK 15 plate Civic with the 6SC0 unit running android 4.0.4.

I have just rooted it using kingroot and am now able to use FX+ file explorer to copy map files to the data directory ???
[Security Discussion] pessoa92:
I was thinking the same thing, but maybe not downgrade it but changing the rom completely? It's an Android machine isn't? It should be possible to overwrite the rom completely... kind like we do it on our phones with custom roms and such...

Has anyone heard of anyone trying to do it?

Another question, I saw a post lots of pages back that said of a file named "allowed_installations.list", where the "changing the apk's name" exploit came from. Does anyone knows if the file still exists? Maybe we can see if there is another file name allowed or even try to edit it?
[Security Discussion] djclark25:
If Itried to get a nandroid backup of my 4.0.4 system now that it is rooted, would that help anyone try and develope some ROMs or mods for the head unit?

Easy connected

Hi guys,

two months ago I bought a Honda HRV EU version. I was able to install apk (maps, spotify...) and they works quite well but, specially for maps, the latest version of the app is very old. Making a search on google I found Easy connected app, it's used by some android headunit to make the screen mirroring with smartphone. It installs without errors but I wasn't able to link the smartphone (I tried three phones: Nexus 5 with AEX rom android 7.1.2, Huawei p9 lite stock android 7 and an old Xperia Neo V android 4.2). I enabled adb both on HU and on smartphone and I tried 3 different versions of the app but none works. Is there someone who tried to use this app?

Doesnt Work for me - Please Help

I have a 2018 Honda HR-V from Brasil. Its equipped with an Android 4.0.4 media console that is "blocked" to outside apps. I want to install more apps, especially Waze and GoogleMaps, and more...

I have made a factory reset and after I have allowed installation of third party apps in the settings menu and tried to install Mike_S Honda Permission, when the file is named "HondaAppCenter_A1.apk".

I tried in two ways, both not working:

1. Download the file on my computer and trying to install in the car using a USB stick - going to install app icon and then it shows me the file but once I press it, the install button is grayed out and I can't continue.

2. Downloading the file directly form the website to the console - the install processes starts but at the end it says that the app wasn't installed without giving any explanations.

I don't know how to program files and compile / decompile etc., so please avoid suggesting these kind of solutions.

Just to let everyone know.... on my UK CIvic 15 plate (9th gen with 4.0.4 HU with physical buttons)

I have factory reset my head unit. Since I rooted it with Kingroot there were numerous crashes and oddities. I had to grant Kingroot the "Navi" permissions in Mikes app otherwise I would randomly get the "This app cannot be used whilst driving" message while listening to the radio etc. Also the USB sticks which hold my music would not be found and it also took longer to load up after engine was switched on and various other things which made it a problem to use

I did a hard reset first by holding the power button down and after that the root had gone so looks like its a temporary root only anyway. I factory reset it and installed various apps and its working ok now.

so there's nothing to do? Am I stuck with it now?

17reg Civic

Hey guys,

Just got a new civic and trying to install apps, struggling though;

It's 17reg (UK) plate model, however it is the older shape, not the brand new shape.

I've tried following the instructions here; http://kahur.ee/honda-connect/

However when I try to install the downloaded app I get a "Unable to install" error. I've gone into the android settings (Developer mode in enabled, but seems stripped down?) and there is no option to allow "Unknown Sources" but not in the developer settings there is a "Allow non-market apps to be installed" setting which is checked, still get the error though :(
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Hi

Have you done the factory reset? Also which RC version have you got?
[Security Discussion] nicholas-c:
Thanks for the reply, I did a factory reset to start with, held the power, menu and brightness for 4 seconds and enabled developer mode.

How do I find out which RC Version I have? ? I did check and can confirm I have 4.0.4

Thanks

Edit: just gone and checked in the android settings -> about; The build number is... `0C.091.01.0021`

From an earlier page...

"Look under Settings - System - Info (don't know the exact path). There you will find the SW version, number of unit and the FIN.

SW version should be lower than 0F.095...... (RC 7)."

So I should be okay?

That is not the right factory reset. Press 'home' then 'Android'. There is an option then to reset. This puts everything back to how it came from the factory. Then install Mike's Permissions.

[Security Discussion] nicholas-c:
Perfect, worked like a charm! Confusing there is two different Factory resets going on.

Unrelated to install problems, is there any way to download offline maps for google maps? Failing that the best alternative to that? Would be nice to not have to get in my car, tether my wifi and connect every time!
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
You have to be careful about downloading and installing too much as there is not a great deal of memory in the unit. I have installed Sygic navigation and the maps can be installed on a usb stick. At the moment it is quite cheap to buy but make sure you buy it via the web not through Google Play. You get a code and can then install it on any android device. Waze has Google maps but is on the unit.

Peter
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Sygic and Osmand working well with the Honda Connect. With both you can place your map files on external usb-drive.

Sygic offers the best of both worlds, works online and offline. Osmand has two versions of OSM based maps. Search the thread, there are more posts about Sygic and Osmand.
[Security Discussion] pisicuta:
Sygic how to?

Hey guys,

how did you manage to install and use Sygic without at some point receiving errors like "failed to copy resources from Playstore" or "copy maps to internal head unit" etc. ?:confused::confused:

Every time I try to use it, it works OK for a couple of days, but at some point I always get an error. I tried everything, resetting the unit, reinstalling, cleaning the folders in the head unit. I always used the version from cmdroid + the resources folder they provide for the usb, but still receive errors. I don't know my headunit's firmware version, if that matters.. I want to buy Sygic, as the offer is very good.

Thanks.
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
If you buy from Sygic direct and download the app from them then you get a code to input. It then doesn't use playstore (or mine hasn't). Install on the Connect unit and download maps via unit wifi (check you have enough room before starting - about 1gb - using settings>android>storage). Put a usb in the second port (not one nearest to driver). Maps will download onto unit and you can then transfer them (using Sygic) onto usb giving you space back.

That worked for me. Sygic at around 13€ is a bargain.

Peter
[Security Discussion] MeFFii:
What are your thoughts, is Sygic better than Garmin?
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Do you mean the built in Garmin?
[Security Discussion] MeFFii:
Yes the built in.

Sygic is on sale right now for 13€( Premium) and 18€ (Premium + Traffic)

I'm thinking about to buy it because I don't like the built in Garmin in some aspects.
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
As I said before Sygic works well. Just make sure you buy it from the web site and not Google play. Phone as hotspot gives real time traffic.
[Security Discussion] pisicuta:
Thank you Peter. I will try that. I guess you used it for many days. As you said, for that price is excellent value.

One thing, after you buy it, do they give you a link to download or is it public apk on the site?

My opinion is that the GUI of Copilot is a bit better for our specific headunit, but Sygic is also very good.
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Hi

Just download sygic gps navigation from playstore. I meant don't buy it via playstore as it then only works on one device. I downloaded onto my phone and then used a 'make apk app' to produce the apk. Changed the name of the apk to hondaappcenter_a1 and put on a usb. Installed onto connect. Use phone as hotspot or any wifi to connect to internet. Log in and enter code. Now registered for life. Next download maps to unit then let Sygic move them to usb. All should be ok. Can also have sygic on phone as well. Hope this helps.
