[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ezreal:
Well i dont think its a huge diference between resolutions since the screen is only 7"..

If it was a TV i would go for higher resolution, but again, i can be wrong because i never saw both standing near me so i could test it.. I would wait for experts to come and take our doubts out..

But the price its kinda the same.. the 800 one its the same (sometimes bigger) than the 1024.. according to ebay..
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cho5enoNe:
Did you have to change or add any wires to get rear sounds louder ??
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] thewesman:
In my A3, I have had to fade the sound mostly to the back and then crank up the volume a bit. With the addition of Viper4Android app, I have been able to make a pretty good sound stage... but the original Audi Concert audio system still sounded better IMO.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cho5enoNe:
Yeah that's what I've done up to now, but the volume is turned up to 3/4 or higher now.. May just run new wires to the front door speakers and rear speakers, and do away with the factory amp.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Also, sorry for all the questions !! To use Viper4android, I pressume you need root ? The device shows as rooted, but viper4android shows no root access ? How did you overcome this..

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] thewesman:
For sure, it's nice to have another Audi on here with the same issues... my volume level is constantly up to about half (15) just to hear anything, then up to like 25 with the windows down and rolling.

Viper4Android installed, with the stock firmware EQ's basically all the way up and the "loud" setting on, has made a significant difference. I'm not sure why V4A says you don't have root... but I would reinstall it right after doing the root password and adb password in the system settings. I have constant root on the Malaysk ROM, so I am not sure.

I am also thinking about hitting up the guys on this website... http://enfigcarstereo.com/audi_radio_installation.html . They have all sorts of aftermarket gadgets for our Audi's that help overcome aftermarket stereo issues. I am looking at the "Enfig RWH-AUD2-HILO" as a possible solution for the low audio/factory amp problem.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cho5enoNe:
Ok got Viper4android sorted !!! didn't know about the root password - Thanks for that !!

I also looked at the Enfig hilo adaptor aswell, but being in the UK - was looking for something closer to here to try, found a few that may do the same but may need buy two and tweak the connections (Phonocar 4/136 High Level Adaptor)

Thanks again !!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Hi Guys! Nice to see so many Audi owners on here!

I have installed the following unit: http://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...60240245620.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.81IpTe Everything works great including the steering wheel controls albeit a bit limited. Volume up and down, next or precious radio station and next or previous song. I have a left and right arrow on my steering wheel that doesn't do anything and they can't seem to be programmed either.

The RDS works well on the system but bluetooth call quality is pretty scratchy for the other end of the call but sounds great in the car. Bluetooth streaming works 100%.

I had to buy a adapter for the FM antennae as the one that came with the unit wasn't powered.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...mp-Aerial-Adapter-Iso-To-Din/32323710207.html

The one thing that I really miss from the stock system, is the fact that the old unit would search for a stronger FM signal in the background and then switch to it. This unit will not do that and you have to manually search for a stronger signal.

With regards to the rear speakers, I have taken a feed from the unit's output and tapped into the speaker wires going out of the amp in the back. (Amp is disconnected) This has improved the sound 100% with both fronts and rears playing at the same volume. It is a quick mod really.

GPS works 100% the only issue I have at the moment is that the weather is blank on the home screen and I will at a later stage change the wiring so that the unit will only turn off when I remove the ignition key.

If you are considering a back-up or reverse camera, think twice and read up on installations. Its a ***** to install and requires drilling...

My cheap bluetooth OBD scanner is not recognised and the bluetooth dongle I ordered from China was useless, so make sure these items are compatible with your unit and rather spend a bit more.

If you have any question regarding installation or functions please feel free to give me a shout.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Luxferro:
I just ordered this one http://www.ugsage.com/default/7-and...-mirroring-function-obd2-for-audi-tt-mk2.html to replace the RSN-E in my TTRS. My plan is to not rush into installing it right away, and just power it with a bench top power supply, hook up a couple speakers, and evaluate it before going through the trouble of installing it.

This one has lollipop, and I purchased it here: http://xtrons.com/pf75attar-7-inch-...-mirroring-function-obd2-for-audi-tt-mk2.html If you sign up for their newsletter they send you a 15% off code. So you basically can get it for $400 shipped w/ 2 day shipping (mine left Hong Kong yesterday, and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow :) )
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Nice one Luxferro! Hooking it up to a power supply is a great option to sort everything out first.

Good luck with the install and let us know how it goes yeah?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] edibar:
someone managed to get the rear amplifier to work well? my woofer does nothing.

and is anyone able to get some information in the FIS (Collored Display)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MistaJae:
I have an A4 (B7) and an Xtrons unit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231828210534?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT working really well.

FYI - My door speakers are BOSE and I could hear alternator humming noise when the unit was switched on. It also 'whirred' when I pressed the accelerator.

To fix that, I used a ground loop to go between the RCA cables http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281047208700?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT. That issue is gone, but no sound comes from the doors at all now (only the tweeters and rears produce sound).

To fix THAT problem, I have bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251855946442 but it needs to be powered from the ACC fuse box (I will use this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A28N89C973ZCVS). Gonna try and fit it in a few days.

There is probably a much easier way to get the BOSE speakers working properly, but I haven't been able to find it.

If anyone has a better way for an A4 (B7), please let me know :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Wow man you have gone through a lot of trouble already. Quick question, on the link you shared it says that the radio info is displayed in your DIS (Instrument panel). Does that work on your unit?

Wrt to Bose, maybe this can help:

http://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec128.shtml
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MistaJae:
It's been a bit of a nightmare getting the sound right, but the headunit itself was a very good purchase.

I have the track number & time displayed on my DIS, but nothing more.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] magnificus:
Hello everyone,

I had one of these android radios with chipset RK3188 in my Seat Exeo and even if I can hear sound coming from the back doors, it is on very low volume... I guess it may be something regarding the AMP, anyone may know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Edit: [MENTION=2423033]Nicolasfoto[/MENTION], could you please explain how can I do the proccess you explain?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Hey magnificus

I used normal speaker wire. On the head-unit's side, I tapped into the left and right rear speaker wires coming from the unit.

The speaker wire goes all the way to the boot of my Audi where the amp is. I disconnected the amp and tapped into the wires that go to the rear speakers.

I've been meaning to take pics for the local Audi Club in South Africa. Ill have some time over the weekend and post them here as well.

Hope this helps?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] magnificus:
Thanks a lot for answering, [MENTION=2423033]Nicolasfoto[/MENTION], but seems to be a difficult thing to do, isn't it?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Its really simple. The only thing that could be difficult is to find out which wires go from the amp to the rears. The nice thing is that if you decide thaat you want to go back to stock, you can do it quickly and simply.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ezreal:
Wow glad to know that you bought the radio im willing to buy.

Are you satisfied? What about bass? My stock sound system on my A4 B6 avant is quite good.

How about any other problems so far? Im going to buy this one from joying: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191835530593?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I saw the xtrons but the resolution stays at 800x... And i gotta buy from european union to avoid taxes.

Do you have any photos, videos that you could share with us?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nicolasfoto:
Hey Ezreal

I'm very happy with my unit, it looks a bit different at the back but not much. Bass is very good with the rear speakers working the way it should. The stock sub is disconnected in my car but I dont think it would cope with the output from our radios anyway.

Aside from the bluetooth mod that I did (That I wouldn't do again if given the chance), everything works as it should. Reverse camera in the Avant is a nightmare and you have to drill a hole in the reverse light holder to get cables through. There is also no easy way to hide those cables.Radio reception is OK but not on the same level as the OEM radio. You have to get the amplified antenna plug. Something like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...mp-Aerial-Adapter-Iso-To-Din/32323710207.html The unit will not search for a stronger frequency of the station you are on, so you must manually change it when you move out of the reception area. Sound on the radio is good though.

There are a couple of preset equalizer settings and you can create a custom setting as well. The equalizer has a lot of frequencies to adjust. I personally prefer PowerAmp as my music player and just use the PowerAmp presets.

The 3g usb stick I got with the unit was a waste of money, rather use something like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Huaw..._1&btsid=36bdf886-c49a-40b8-8a23-8e6092554a75

I have promised to upload pictures last weekend, but my Audi has had a couple of problems thats being seen too. I hope to have my car back by the weekend to take a couple of snaps.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] StunGod:
Hey guys, just a bit of info about the wiring/Bose issues:

Take a look at this thread for some great info about how to get proper volume from the Bose amps/speakers: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7158675-Head-Unit-Recommendation

The tl;dr is that if you use in-line step-down transformers to take the amplified signal from the HU and send the correct voltage to the Bose amps. I tried this with my (dearly departed) ownice unit, and it worked great until the unit died of unrelated problems. I've got a Joying unit arriving tomorrow and will be doing the same thing with it. I bought the same line converters as the guy in the thread, and they work just as described. Just be careful which wires get connected.

That thread is full of good info, and it's worth a read if you would like to avoid some of the common problems people have when putting new devices in the A4.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ezreal:
Thanks in advance for your answer, on the reverse camera i wont be using it since i already own one, connected to a LCD rearview mirror. So this way i wont overload the radio itself.

On the 3g dongle i wont use it also, id rather use my mobile phone as a network acess point and connect to it from the radio.

Only thing im worried about its actually the sound quality. You said id probably gonna have to disconnect the subwoofer.. I dont have bose system..

Lets wait and see i guess..

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Funkmasterchilla:
I am downloading the whole firmware again from xperifirm. Thank you mate !

Edit: Working great! I'll stick to stock kernel now since Androplus' consumes more battery while asleep !

Edit2: I successfully flashed recoveries in command window from my PC but can't access TWRP at boot though, no LED flashing.

Edit3: Ok that's cuz there's no recovery boot script obviously, my bad. That's above my pay grade, if somebody is kind enough to create a stock. 200 with recoveries it'd be much appreciated :) PM me if so

Edit!: I flashed monx new stock based kernel

Thank you Tobias !
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zavpasha:
Hmm... I don't understand what this zip file do with phone.... Can you explain more primitive for me?!

Is that for recover stock kernel with stock drm keys?! I understand correct?!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
Before you can start to install thing like SuperSU and xposed you have to change the kernel, otherwise your phone won't boot anymore. In the past you had to wait for someone to come up with a compatible kernel for your phone, now this package just converts your existing kernel.

Regarding the DRM please install the package from the DRM restore thread.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
Thanks for the feedback. Future versions of this package will add TRWP as well. I am currently working on it. ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
As promised the new package with TWRP is out ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
Great work thanks :),

How would I go about disabling the vibration for recovery?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
Well, the script which checks if recovery should be started is bin/init inside the zip. If you don't like the vibrate then just remove the line and run the package again

Hi Tobias,

can you please build a v2 for the z5 compact too?

thx

stiffmeister
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
On which model did you use it and with which firmware version?

If you used flashtool before then you can just flash the kernel one more time (i.e. deselect everything else).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
This should work on Z5 compact with stock kernel as well, without any change.

In case of any issues you can flash the kernel again via flashtool

If it did not work you can pass me the generated boot.img from your interal sdcard for further analysis
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] stiffmeister75:
hi tobias,

i didn't try the v2, because i thought, that the twrp recovery wouldn't be compatible.

but when you say it's ok, than i'll try it :)

which version of SuperSU is compatible with this method ? I flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip but it repack my kernel again !!!

hello

is <kernel image> refer for extracted kernel.elf

and <new kernel image> refer for what ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jugglerpl:
Refer to new kernel which will create after execute command. For example before execute "rootkernel kernel.elf kernel_new.img" you have only kernel.elf in folder. And after you have kernel.elf and kernel_new.img :)

If I wanted to use Androplus Kernel, I will only run the DRM only script correct? Actually I'm confused on how to go about using Androplus with the instructions provided. The Androplus kernel by itself does not have a recovery.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] goofnorf101:
Okay so I downgraded to .152, then restored my TA partition, then OTA upgraded to .200 tested widevine DRM and both Classic and Modular worked and All4 app worked perfectly.

I then upgraded to 32.1.A.1.163 (same version as before, but not unlocked or rooted) and still WideVine Classic and Modular work on the Inplay test app and All4 app still works perfectly.

So my experience is that after unlocking and rooting the WideVine DRM gets broken even when restoring the TA keys using this boot kernel patching. :(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] ctap001:
I have created a DK.ftf from my TA backup. How to do "Flashing this file with flashtool"? I am not getting the instructions clearly, "from where the drmfix library will pick it up" - does this mean I have to have the old drmrestore file flashed?

edit: flashed it with flashtool, service menu reads DRM is on the device
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] 4RM4N1:
Only 3 Keys are active?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
This is what you get without your own device key. If you have a TA backup then create the DK.ftf as described and flash it with flashtool.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
In order to further investigate this please do the following:

- Switch your phone off

- Run

adb -d logcat >logcat.txt

(it will say waiting for the device, which is what we want)

- Switch on your phone and run the aplications, which are not working properly

- PM me the logcat.txt
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
Yes, SuperSU repacks your kernel again, but this is ok. It works perfectly well.

Anyway I plan to add an option to integrate SuperSU already if you place it in the same directoy
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
I'm afraid I need some for infos than just "not booting up". What is happening precisely?

- Do you get the prompt with the yellow light to press the volume up for recovery?

- Does the light switch to orange after pressing the key?

- Do you get the TWRP splash screen?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] 4RM4N1:
Yes, I have the TA from my own device, so I only need to use the code and then flash the ftf with the Flashtool? :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tobias.waldvogel:
flash_dk <your ta backup> DK.ftf

And then flash DK.ftf with flashtool

That would be all ;)

The rootkernel script adds a library which looks for your device key flashed with DK.ftf

This is my Screen now. Thank you very very much! Do you maybe have a donation link? :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] goofnorf101:
Okay I can do that, but if it is easier to reproduce the problem yourself, just install "IdeaNova INPLAY" from Google Play store and try to use Classic Mode. That seems to be an easy way to see it occur.

Since my earlier post I have done the following:

1) OTA upgraded to 32.1.A.1.185 - WideVine still working perfectly in both apps. (IdeaNova INPLAY test app and All4)

2) Used Factory Reset from Settings menu to clear all user data - Set up again and reinstalled IdeaNova INPLAY test app and All4 app. Both still work perfectly. Doesn't seem to be related to cached settings then I assume.. All still good..

3) Unlocked bootloader again and flashed the rootkernel v3 boot image with TA data (version actually from UK 32.1.A.1.163 I made before) - Set phone up again, reinstalled "IdeaNova INPLAY" from Google Play store - Now Classic mode gives ERROR. This I think is the core of the problem. It worked until the unlock. Service Security menu shows 3xOK and FIDO_KEYS: Provisioned

I will make the logcat now.
