*UPDATE*

So in the end I went with price above all and purchased an Eonon G2110F Android headunit. I have to say I have been quite happy with the unit, it is much more responsive than the Parrot Asteroid Smart and runs apps natively, without any drop in audio quality like the smart. One issue which was sort of expected, is the sub-par bluetooth microphone quality. I expected the quality to not be too great, especially compared to the Parrot Smart, but it is so bad that most of the time I have to tell my wife to call me when she gets home because I can't hear her!

I am going to try to find an aftermarket bluetooth microphone to try instead, does anyone recommend anything that has good quality for a unit like this one?
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
Haven't you read about the BT problems we all have? The only way to fix it is the mod of the motherboard.
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
I wasn't aware of the Bluetooth issues, is it just with the eonon unit or all units with a particular chipset?
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
Basically all units that I'm aware of. Even the new Pumpkin claiming Parrot BT suffers from the same problem. I've have the new Pumpkin too.

The main problem is the two microphones (internal-external) are connected in parallel. I've done the mod on my four units and after that it's okay.

You still need a better mic since the Chinese mic is crap. I'm using a Parrot mic and the mod.
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
Thanks for the info, could you be so kind as to link to the mod? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
Hi Jeff, just curious about your experience with the Newsmy after using it for a while? Whilst I like the Eonon generally, the bluetooth call issues and their lack of support has been a deal breaker, and I'm ready to replace it already!

Hi Zelig, did you end up ordering a unit? What were your experiences?
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
Hi halloj, Eonon sent me this link to a video replacing the internal mic - https://drive.google.com/a/eonon.com/file/d/0B4MwM-4-7u6TbkxkcnByN0thMjA/view?usp=drive_web

I'm wondering if I removed the mic completely if it would default to the external mic, or if simply desoldering it would not be enough? Perhaps replacing it with a better quality mic like the video would be sufficient? Any thoughts, you seem to have done this a few times!
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I can say that I am pretty happy with the Newsmy. I installed xdAuto on it (source code for the Newsmy leaked and XDA developers built a great ROM). With xdAuto the user interface is pretty good; there are a set of icons along the bottom of the screen that allow you to switch quickly between different apps without first going to the launcher home screen. Audio focus works properly, meaning that when you, say, start a song on Spotify, the audio from the radio app (or whatever other source) stops.

I find the sound quality quite good even without equalizer running (xdAuto has viper included) . There are occasional background noises (most apparent with silent sections of a track when at a light) but practically speaking they are not noticeable when driving.

the Bluetooth for hands free calling while not nearly as good as the Parrot is quite useable.

OBD2 Bluetooth reader/Torque works flawlessly.

Steering wheel controls work on every app I've used which can be an issue with other units.

Radio reception is good, but the radio app does not have RDS implemented. Apparently the silabs tuner chip is of high quality and has RDS support but the Newsmy programmers/subcontractors could not figure out how to implement it. XDA developers offered to help but were given the run around with promises of MCU source code that was never provided.

I can use Google Now voice commands to start Spotify, navigation, make calls, etc. Again not as good as the voice recognition implementation on the Parrot in terms of accuracy but a reasonable success rate.

Complaints I or other users have had:

Google maps is choppy when starting to navigate. I mostly use Waze which works very well.

Screen washes out in direct sun.

Audio control is abysmal. No control over sub out level or crossover. No native eq. All you get is a screen for balance/fade that is implemented by providing four separate volume controls for FL/FR/RL/RR.

USB DVR camera kills internal/external mics for Android (not Bluetooth calls), not an issue if you don't need/want to run a dashcam or don't care about voice commands

USB devices do not go into standby properly. If you are short of boring material to read you can see my posts on the xdAuto thread on it. This problem led to my music app often rescanning my large music collection when coming out of standby. I found a work around by modifying a USB hub to provide power all the time.

Don't expect much/any support from Newsmy on technical or warranty issues, but not many have had quality issues, and it always boots in both the extreme heat and bitter cold of Canadian summers/winters. I've had the unit apart and the PC board quality/assembly seems better than pics I've see of other Chinese units.

With all those pros/cons I did decide to buy two NR3001s and don't regret it. They are not perfect but I still believe the best option there is from my reading here on XDA. It might be that if I was buying now/next couple of months I might try the indash.net octacore but it seems there are still issues to work out, maybe wait and see..
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
The mod and a new mic is what you need if you ask me. On the other hand, if you don't have an external the way to go which I did

is to cut the leads to the internal. Connect an external connector the internal wires and you're good to go. I've no experience of Eonon.

I only have versions of Klyde.
[Android Head-Units] doitright:
You can't get anything BRANDED by parrot, if that is what you are asking. Most of them have roughly the same audio quality (we have a parrot in wife's car, its nothing special really). Voice commands would be provided by google services, which come pirated in every chinese android head unit.
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
I just wanted to clarify, if I followed the video in my quoted post above and remove the internal mic behind the front panel and do not replace it, that should improve my call quality? Or do I need to open up the main housing of the unit and alter the internal cabling?
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
As I said, I don't have any experience with your brand. In the Klyde brand, the answer is yes. In Klyde, the microphones are in parallel and

removing the internal and use an high quality microphone as external improves the HU mic-audio a LOT.
[Android Head-Units] glenb83:
Bringing back this thread... I finally got around to removing the internal microphone from this unit (held off for fear of doing more damage than good!) by cutting the wires behind the touchscreen. Problem is I now have no microphone at all!! I tried plugging in a different microphone to the port on the rear of the unit and still no sound. I am running Malaysk rom, I wonder if there is a setting to 'switch' from internal microphone to external microphone?

Alternatively does anyone know if I can pair my phone to the hu for media streaming only, phone off (set in Bluetooth options of phone) and simultaneously pair it to a Bluetooth hands-free kit for phone audio only, media off (in phone Bluetooth settings)?

Failing that I will need to set it up as speakerphone with a phone cradle as this is the wife's car and she will not be happy with my tinkering!!

Any suggestions?!

Edit:

moved the HOWTO to the Wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom

feel free to update/correct the Wiki if you find failures, bugs or updates

It worked for me - but I cannot guarantee that you don't brick your Touch.

So be warned.

Thanks to dsixda for updating the Wiki for Elfin

Can I dump my touch with all installed programs, cooking a complete rom including installed programs?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] r0p3:
No - that's not possible I Think.

But you can use sprite backup.

It worked perfectly for me when I flashed the ROM back.

But keep in mind that it only will work correctly on the same language of the ROMs.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] eefurt:
I have Sprite Backup, but after flashing the device with the same rom, the restore didn't work, so I had to install the programs again.:mad:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jychan28:
Here is a trick I have used for quite some times with Sprite Backup 5.1

Sprite Backup version 5.1, version 6.02 is more fancy, 5.1 is good enough.

1. Do a full backup, make sure option Create Self Extract Exec

2. Hard reset (optional)

3. Flash new ROM

4. Run the backup file, make sure the Upgrade Mode Restore Option is Check.

5. Kneel down and pray (optional, or take a cup of coffee).

SKtools is handy.

Step 4 is most important. When it asks you for the upgrade fine, Click None. Minor cleanup unavoidable but heck a lot better than of re-install all the softwares.

Sometimes you may find the machine run slugglish by doing that. I am not sure why.

You may flash the new ROM, re-install all the softwares, see if the machine run faster, but few days later, you will feel it run slugglish. I am not sure why. (The laptop runs runs much faster than once I bought it and take it home and installed with applications.)

So I just keep buying new machines... hahaha
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
holy moly.

going great at 10% of flashing.

but i feel confident the tute was on the spot.

muchos gracias.

And yes you are right (you didn't say it but you must have thought it), I could have added it myself to WIKI. But just had to try it myself first off course.

And am i right in believing i could have allready replaced some of the graphical files in the dumped "ROM" directory?

Or is it to dangerous at this change because the file size needs to fit?

92%

100%,... first boot screen passed........second boot screen passed....

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

The audience is in Awe. It works.

Next step, getting familiar with hypercore kitchen.

Thanks for this tutorial.

Now i can safely backup my Dutch rom and test some custom ****..

[Touch GSM ROM Development] r0p3:
Do NOT change files in the dump directory without proper tools!!!

You will mess up the ROM

When you have a look at the dump directory there are some info files with data for the places in the ROM which need to be recalculated.

Thanks! I'm happy that it worked - nice feeling - eh?

Dumping Elf WM6 Italian version ROM

Before trying to put new Rom images, i would like to backup the original one.

I followed the (simply) tutorial, but i'm confused about this step:

"need the ruu_signed.nbh from valid update (extract with winrar)"

Which file do I need?

I don't understand why I need a valid ROM when I'm trying to dump a Rom from my Elf :confused:

Can I use an other language ROM version (English, Dutch....) or is needed only an Italian one?

Thx in adv and sorry for my poor english :o

Ciauz
[Touch GSM ROM Development] r0p3:
you need this as a "shell" or "template" because the .nbh files are made in a way that cannot be recontructed (so far I understand - correct me if I'm wrong).

And yes you can use an ROM with another language. I took the Australian ROM - look at the first paragraph "files you need"

This is usually a .exe file that you can extract with winrar (or winzip maybe)

P.S.: your english is not so bad
[Touch GSM ROM Development] junkyarddog:
Thx very much!!!

All worked fine, flashing the "new" dumped rom worked perfectly, I'll put it on FTP to make it avaiable to other users.

Ciao
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Pfew thanks, nice knowing this. Iwas allready worried that it would need correct file info.

Don't upload to XDA. I've seen some directories with full roms on FTP. But this is no longer allowed and files will be deleted.

XDA's allready been in trouble with MS about this. So either use third party file sharing or privatly owned FTP.

r0p3..

So to get the radio and SPL do i need to redo first extraction but then for these files? Or are these IPL/SPL?

| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01
[Touch GSM ROM Development] r0p3:
I don't know yet - I still have to dig in the wiki about that.

It's very dangerous in this area - if you mess up IPL or SPL your baby is usually lost forever. I don't mind about those as long pof's USPL works beautiful.

Radio might be not so critical. But 2.97. is already available - so it would only be for the fun of it ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
If you have both of them already installed, you don't need to re-install, of course.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hendrixus:
Ok, thanks. I created this .nbh and gave it the name "2_20_404_1B_NLD.NBH" do I have to rename it to for the flashtool "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" to "RUU_Signed.nbh"?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
You can call it anything you want (e.g. YouNewb.nbh), but remove any existing NBH files in that folder.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hendrixus:
There wasn't only the one I created. Too bad. My Touch hangs at the "smart mobility" screen. What to do?

edit: Found it here

Wonder why was wrong?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
What is your IPL/SPL now? Flash a working OS if you still have USPL.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hendrixus:
2.27/2.28

I was thinking of flashging a ROM to try out if it is working. Custom of org ROM or it doesn't matter?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
How do I know, it depends what you want. Don't flash a shipped ROM unless you know what you are doing.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hendrixus:
At the moment I don't anymore. I can't connect, so I can't flash? SnoopyPro and MTTY connect from the recovery thread or dump the device into the trashcan?

I never bricked a device before. Couldn't it be if it wasn't CID unlocked, HTC_E11 ?

Hmm, untagged "Allow USB connections"(AS settings) put the device into the bootloader and connected from the bootloader flashing it now with the dutch touch surface ROM. Let see whats happening, now 80% at 100% That worked. I LIVES again!

Hey,

i wanted to reflash my old rom but now i got problems with my htc, if i press the start button nothing happens and also a hard-reset doesn`t work, has anyone some help for me?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Did the original ROM come with an Extended ROM? You probably forgot to include that when you re-built the ROM.. so when it booted up, it got messed up because it couldn't find it and thus the Start Menu also didn't work. (same thing happened on my Diamond).

And what do you mean hard reset doesn't work? Just hold down both send/end buttons while pressing reset.

How to restore to an original rom

I flashed a cooked rom on my device, i want to go back to an original. I have a CID locked Orange version of the HTC ELF. I am able to flash the correct rom, but get a error 226 flash write. It is a problem with the extented rom. Anyone how to get about restoring the extented rom in order to flash the original rom?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
You have to flash the Shipped ROM or the Dumped ROM from your provider, not the Extended ROM by itself!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] lanceiro:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Billy Ze Feesh:
OK guys. I'm really struggling with this. I have backed up my ROM and it seems to work fine, but when I then try and put it back into the phone to check it's OK, I have error messages. Either 260 (not connected) or 270 (image file is corrupted).

I have removed the sim card and the sd card, so don't understand why I'm getting 260 as a message. the phone is showing as connected in Activesync... As for the 270 message, I thought it was because the phone wasn't CID unlocked, but I've run the Cert SPCS and then the EnableRapi before trying to run RUU with the 'standard' ROM that you get when you download it.

What am I doing wrong? I'm wanting to change the ROM and it must be so easy, but I'm really frustrated that I can't get it to work. Thanks very much in advance for any help. I'm away from tomorrow evening for a few days, so if you reply and I don't acknowledge straight away then I apologise.

i have flashed with other rom now. when i try to install the official rom again it stops in the smart mobility screen. I read the wiki and got it work with custom rom. Is there any way to get back my original rom. I have the dumped rom(DONE WITH ELF SOFTWARE) with me now. :confused:
