Hello everyone! I have a Blaupunkt Cape Town 940 US android head unit. So far I love it! But...

I am having issues adding/flashing Google Apps to it. It is rooted, and like the title says it is 4.1.1. I can't seem to get the unit to go into recovery, if there is one built into it. I can flash a map update to it from the right side micro SD slot by hitting 'power' and 'home' at the same time from the off position. When I try to flash the 'gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip' to it by the same method, it just errors out and never gives me the option to flash a zip, reboot or anything you would normally see from a flash recovery.

Some of the .apk's in the above zip can be installed and other cannot. I can get the play store to install, but not the services or framework, or anything else from the zip for that matter - I get a parse error. The play store just says it can't connect to the server and has a retry button. It does have a connection to the internet. I can install other 3rd party apps by navigating to the apk from the stock file manager.

Can anyone elaborate on how to flash GApps to this unit, or how to side-load them with the apk's? There is not much info on the net for this unit. I am close but can't figure it out.

Thanks everyone!
[Android Head-Units] boyito:
I ran to the same problems couple of days ago of trying to install Gapps into my unbranded chinese headunit and figured it out last night how to get Gapps installed. My recommendation for you is as following (Require root access)

1. Go online and search for google installer.apk and system app mover.apk and install both into your headunit

2. Run google installer and look for google play (it's in chinese but you should be able to figure it out by the icon)

3. Click on google play and it should prompts you to install other 4 related google app as well ie. Google framework etc.

4. Once you have all those installed, run system app mover. (This is where you require root access)

5. Search for those 4 related google app that you just installed and move them to system (You have to be clicking on the app and move them one by one)

6. Reboot and you should have google app installed. (The version is quite old but it'll update by itself with the newest version)

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] notmyrealuser:
Hmm, this seems a little risky. Is there an English version of this process? Any other ideas? Thanks boyito!!
[Android Head-Units] fordborn:
easiest way to install google services to the 940 is to send email to Blaupunkt support. They can send you a apk that will install the services. It is not supported but will load without any other things to do. I used it and have had all google's services including email, maps, store and more with no problem.
[Android Head-Units] notmyrealuser:
Seriously? It's that easy? Emailing now, thanks fordborn!!
[Android Head-Units] fordborn:
I have use this twice and worked well http://www.blaupunkt.com/fileadmin/.../SSW/1011403920001_SSW_GooglePlaystore94x.rar
[Android Head-Units] notmyrealuser:
Thanks, I'll give that a look too. What is the email you used? I got an undelivered response from service-bpe@blaupunkt.com
[Android Head-Units] fordborn:
actually I went thru the website contact us and they emailed me back. That is the same email they used to email me back though. The link they sent is still good I just downloaded the apk again.
[Android Head-Units] notmyrealuser:
Thanks! Download worked for me as well.... Giving it a shot tonight!
[Android Head-Units] notmyrealuser:
This apk worked for me, thanks again fordborn!!
[Android Head-Units] sirk76:
Hey guys... I downloaded this apk as well but cannot get it to work. The ReadMe!! says to root the device but when following the instructions I cannot find where it is saying to click "touch 6x OS Version". When installing the apk it installs fine but when I open it, it just says reboot when finished but then goes away and never actually installs anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] fgrillet:
Have you seen thre "read me" text?

Excuse me for my bad english but i've got the same problem. In fact, when i unzipped the file, i did not see the file text which was joined:

Please note that you install and apply root on your own risk.

Please copy GSINSTALLER.APK to an USB kay and follow this steps:

1: ROOT device: SYSTEM SETTINNGS -> SOFTWARE VERSION -> touch 6x OS VERSION -> new point DEVELOPER OPTIONS will appear -> select ROOT and confirm it.

2: Install PLAYSTORE: Open APPS -> open FILE EXPLORER -> select EXTERNAL USB -> look for GSINSTALLER.APK and install it -> ACCEPT SUPER USER request -> ACCEPT the UNINSTALL request.

I don't realy understand the final step (accept the uninstall request?) but, after a final shut-off, i've got Google Play on my Cape Town 945 :)
[Android Head-Units] sirk76:
It Worked!

Thanks for the reply. I did see the readme but didn't realize that "touch 6x OS VERSION" meant to actually press OS VERSION 6 times. I'm a little slow sometimes. Anyway I just tried it again and it worked perfectly. Works great!
[Android Head-Units] fgrillet:
nobody's perfect ;) I did'nt see the readme.txt at the beginning! Now, i try to install TomTom but it seems to be a problem of compatibility :mad:
[Android Head-Units] emtezet_01:
Hello, any of people that added gapps installed also google maps? I have tried to install them from the store, and they run very slow. I have installed the older version also and it runs smoothly, but just after update they are slowing badly...
[Android Head-Units] Kinugawa:
Slow on mine too :( Where did you get the "older version"..?
[Android Head-Units] emtezet_01:
Just google Maps_6.14.4.apk and before install disable the automatic update function in play store.
[Android Head-Units] ellisbjohns:
Workked for me too

Thanks fordborn,

Your apk download and instructions worked for me as well. I just put google maps on the unit with almost no trouble.
[Android Head-Units] emtezet_01:
Which version of google maps do you use? Do they work smoothly? I have also tried to install the maps with the apk, but the newest version performance was terrible. Did you manage to make a voice search usable?
[Android Head-Units] MrCisco:

I was able to install Android N by entering Android Beta Program and joining my Nexus 6P. I've tried it 4 or 5 days and now it's time to go back to normal. However now ABP tells me "Unfortunately, there are no eligible devices associated with this Google account". What I did is manually flashed Marshmallow, but since I joined the program, of course it keep showing me the upgrade notification, which I can't make disappear for the reason explained.

What in the world?

How can I make my (supported) phone to appear in ABP website so I can unckeck it?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] md1008:
Well since there is to be no root or recovery we are left with discussion and mods/apps which do not require root.

My question to the group is how does this phone being locked down effect you. Many say they will wait and hope, others saying returning/selling ASAP and still others are saying this phone doesn't need it.

As far as how it effects me? Not a whole lot, Android has come a long way and this phone is super solid. I feel that this version of Touchwiz is non intrusive even less so than the Note 5 which barely lasted a month. I do appreciate root, and when I can, I always root. For me the biggest problem is Samsung's abhorrent updating. Sure we get special treatment over older still supported devices but let's keep it real Samsung sucks. After a year Samsung magically becomes even slower. I also greatly appreciate a stock Google experience. I will probably sell this bad boy. Once my bogo comes through

I currently have Nexus 5x and Nexus 6. And am undecided as to which one I will keep although leaning towards Nexus 6. I may end up keeping s7 edge until Nexus 2016 comes out, but that option is looking unlikely
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Corwinder:
If I had known ahead of time the S7 bootloader was locked I would have bought the wife and I Nexus 6 devices and then gone to Project FI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bori1030:
yea sux when i found this out. but remember AT&T bootloaders were always locked down well for the most part and DEVs have always found a way to do it or work around it. I know u guys remember The days of the Loki patches rainbow recoveries etc..lol . phone has only been out a week give it some time fellas have faith in our DEVs they are the BEAST! IT WILL HAPPEN dont ask me how i just know these guys never disappoint!

in the mean time if u haven't already check this out these dudes are sweet they have instructions for non rooted requires a $2 app but worth it for now I confirm they work on my S7, cheers :laugh:

How does it effect me, we'll it means that I don't actually own my $800. Pocket computer. I am not the administrator so my info can be easily stolen and the device can be crippled by limiting updates. It's basically a $800. Device that will be current for 4 months. Garbage.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] coyttl:
Mine's going back tomorrow, unless there's some news. I figure that I can just re-purchase it once/if BL is unlocked, or check out the G5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bastage:
Going to do the jump to the g5 most likely.. I didnt have to root my g4 to get the software how I like it. There is just too much samsung integration here to get around it all without having lots of minor annoyances (no major ones, just lots of little **** I dont like).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rp3:
Locked BL affects me moderately. I prefer lower DPI so without xposed/app settings, the camera/video calls aren't full screen. I also lose the ability to customize the phone (xposed/wanam). I have a harder time transferring apps (no Titanium Backup). I miss out on the whole reason for liking Snapdragon over exynos (kernels, CM). I never considered returning the phone (t-mobile's BOGO free + 2 yr netflix + $60 + wireless chargers from Samsung Pay + 2 GearVR was a ridiculous deal). I have considered selling/swapping for a 930F (all it would take is VOLTE + native video dialing and I'd swap immediately).

Pretty much using Nexus 6 on project Fi. It's interesting not using as much data but I do like the service. Going between sprint and T-Mobile has been nice. I have no real desire to go to 6p now. I am really hoping that Google will release another 6 inch phone soon. If it's only 5.5 I will be disappointed but will still probably get the next Nexus

Hi XDA!

I have recently learnt how to compile CyanogenMod from source using CM dev wiki, quite useful BTW.

The question is, how do I replace an app that is built by default (ExactCalculator) with another one (Calculator)? both are on CyanogenMod's git. I have downloaded the sources using the local manifest into its default route and told the device.mk to build it as wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_adding_your_own_app says. What am I doing wrong/not doing?

Thanks guys

[ONE Android Development] Setting.Out:
I posted screenshots of the two features not found in stock CM.. ;)

And here's a brief review... This is CM, vanilla flavoured marshmallow with some sprinkles. It has been stable and performance is as you'd expect. Battery life has been on par with CM as well, so no surprises.. There is a fc bug with the alarm (CM issue) but no other issues of note. So why not just choose a nightly? There are useful features here, no fluff or bloat with future features to be added. The experience has been a bit smoother than standard CM (under the hood improvements). And you get a developer who's hand isn't reaching for donations to build, but rather wants a solid ROM for the community. The wallpapers make me think of supercar badges denoting speed and a bit of whimsy. It is just a nice package as a whole. I would suggest replacing the stock kernel for another unicorn added under the hood (tested with New, Andy and Radioactive)..
