Thanks a lot for your answer!!! I'll try to use google translate :)

index problem disappear after installing last fw or FORD F150 but nothing changed a part that; if I well understood, now is working only with this russian fw??? My problem is that the rtl driver can't see the dongle, in fact if I open DAB app I receive a message when I try to search stations -"wait a few seconds"-.

For the phoen app, I can move up and down but it's not possible to put under waze or other app... half of screen is blocked during the call.

PIP doesn't work, PhoenixAndroidradios told me that is working only on new fastboot headunit, in fact only radio, media player and phone app can be moved
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Try latest pre-rooted FW dated may-2018: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/74Gk/K...511A-Ver1.0.1.carcool_860_EN_1024 + ROOT .img

and describe your experience after that. Remember what I said about saving settings and customer file. DO NOT try to update MCU unless you know what yoiu're doing, or you may get bricked
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
Wait, this is an update appliable without root? Then I put on an usb-drive and install like original OTA update, right?

This fw has pip, dab etc..? Cause I'm quite sure that my DAB or my DAB antenna is wrong--
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Yes, applicable without prior rooting. Flashing is just replacing system (and some other) partitions. Yes, can be installed as any other FW - just put update.img on flash drive, insert and wait a little while. Or there's another way - FW can be renamed to update_force.img and flashed from recovery (you need to send headunit to recovery using "reboot recovery" command from terminal or soldered console). But you need more recent FW preinstalled for that.

Regarding DAB I just don't know - no way to check as in Russia we don't have DAB yet. There's only 1 person on 4pda who has the dongle but he hasn't provided feedback yet. I only know that DAB setting first appeared in May FW.

PIP - if you mean PIP in vid player - it's a feature of videoplayer.apk. Once you have latest rooted FW you can experiment with vid players from any FW up to this date to find the one that works for you.
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
ok, I understood. this evening I'm gong to install it!!!

For sure my bigger problems now are phone app and whitelist. oh, I'm going to change the microphone using the OEM Ford
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
what kind of car is that?
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
I have Focus st3 3015

[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
I see. I tried Ford original microphone on my Mondeo but it's not compatible with chinese units. So I took a tiny mike from old Nokia headset and put it inside Ford's original shell. Works well.
[Android Head-Units] Rookeri:
What could be a fault when the entire canbus has apparently disappeared. Does the player work otherwise but the wheel studs, the door open indicator, the air temperature, the outside temperature etc. are not displayed on the player screen?

Car is Opel Insignia 2012
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Did you flash any updates?
[Android Head-Units] Rookeri:
Yes I did. Didn't help.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
You flashed it to fix the problem? What did you flash?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
OK, so I managed to get the modified text to work when swapping out the MusicPlayer.apk then starting the app.

The text size and position is modified :) Although this stops the dancing bars (as it always does) so I have to reboot.

Problem is, as soon as you reboot, MusicPlayer wont even start? Is it because of it's signature do you think?
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
When I get a chance, I'll write up a little "how-to" edit and repackage the APK without much effort, and so the HU won't have a sook and refuse to run it etc.

That would be great mate, cheers :good:

I bought one of these for my.08 cadillac escalade. They said it was 7.1 and setting saying 6.1. But when I gave the android version a couple times and get the android easter eggs it has the kitkat easter egg so must be infact running kitkat 4.4 something. This is bull, I'm talking to the people I bought them.now luckaly I managed to get them to pay through paypal so I'm def going to try and get my refund if they dont fix this. Not only does it not fit I my radio bezel like it should but the mounting tabs dont line up I mean i got it in there with 2 mounting screws and the bezel dont look horrible but dont advertise a radio and say no cutting required, ac controls but dont work on my escalade, running 7.1 when clearing ru nint kitkat which is bull cause setting and everything is saying 6.1 back up camera works, I could change the themes have to go to system, when the icon comes up press and hold it until psswrd icon comes up, and u could change themes in there. U could also turn on Google apps,

I was also able to change the boot logo with boot logo app, I got it from a youtbe video and it worked but the pic was alittle zoomed it so I'll have to play with the image size
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Here's a good site to size the image to 1024x768 properly...

https://imageresize.org/

Who did you buy it from, Lucky China?
[Android Head-Units] Antnice2x:
I got it from aliexpress. But there not contacting me back so I'm opening a dispute with paypal.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
If you end up like many others you will get your money back and keep the radio because PayPal will get no where with them.
[Android Head-Units] Antnice2x:
I'll be fine with that lol. I'll take my 570 return that's what I'm hoping for anyways, unless they send me a true 7.1 android that fits right and have the video output. I'd made sure I asked them all these questions and took screen shots of the conversation. Radio was supposed to have video output so I could have the kids watch youtbe in the back headrest TVs, but this one does not but they said it did multiple times to me. That was the only reason why i bought from them as well. They shouldnt get away with this crap, selling something saying its something else. These radio are cool dont get me wrong, but advertise what it is dont lie and say its something better and charge the better price. Lucky I got them to go through PayPal which took some time and offering or I would of got screwd.. i tried to add pics but i dont know how too.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I agree, but there customer service seems to consist entirely of PayPal refunds!

Every radio I've seen that you have described is actually a 4.4.4 radio with only 1G of memory (although it probably says 2G).

When it's all said and done, post up what happened and reach out. I can help you make everything report correctly if you end up with a free radio and wish to sell it.

It's important you don't try to fix anything now because you have a solid case of fraud by the seller.
[Android Head-Units] haloseven:
hello,

i bought one of these for my 2004 Lexus LX470 (Land Cruiser) and the AC does not work. Has anyone successfully installed one of these in an 03-07 LC100? I love everything about it, but i have to have AC in Texas. Ive swapped over the black AC controller box, and all wiring is connected completely, the screen acknowledges my push buttons, but its not getting the data from the car (no temp on the screen) - Any help would be appreciated, because i feel like its in the settings somewhere but there arent alot of people who have attempted to put one of these in, in the US at least.
[Android Head-Units] Antnice2x:
Climate controls

Does it car have the limate controls on the radio itself. so u installed the tesla screen and u have no controls for climate is that correct. Ull probably have to unlock climate controls in the settings. Codes are 7890, for one, and 8861 for the other, have to go to advanced for one then click the system version once that pop up screen comes up press and hold it then a password bar will come up use one of those codes that's also where u change the ui and themse and unlock some stuff. Don't know why they do it like that u could unlock Google apps as well, and I believe climate controls as well but different cars and different radio differ. Also do it at ur own risk. Changing the wrong setting I'm not sure what it could do some features should be listed under regular setting but be carefull what ur changing

It's still being reviewed by paypal. I think it takes like 10days for them to decide if I get my money back or not really hope I do but then again i installed the radio already, it's not what I expect and don't fit like I expect but I'm not sure if I want to removed everything and ship it back, it will be a pain. I'm hoping to get a refund or partial refund I'll take something sense it wasnt what they said it is.

Hey mate, is it a signature issue when you repack the apk?
[Android Head-Units] PatriotHorde:
I bought the Ram Tstyle radio from Phoenix. Is there a way to change the theme? I really like the unit so far but I do not like the stock way it looks. BOOOORING! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] brunes:
I am also one who is "desperately seeking root" with 7.1 :) Tried a couple of one-click root apps, none worked.

I may simply ask the vendor who I purchased it from, they have been fairly responsive to requests.

Another problem I am really struggling with (that the vendor has not been able to address after weeks of troubleshooting) is my "radar sounds"... when I go into reverse, I can see my cars radar showing up on the screen. However, the unit plays no backup sound indicating as I get close to things. This makes it more difficult to park than with the stock head unit, where I can listen for the beeps. I have tried every combination of settings under "Advanced" and System Settings I can find to no avail. This is actually the main reason I want root is so I can run a logcat while this is going on.

Another problem I have is the app killer killing all the apps every time the unit suspends. Any way to disable this without root?
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
I would definitely give a try to magisk manager, maybe you could achieve root through it.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Root has been achieved on the 7.1 units. Check the sticky under firmware heading on this site (use Google translate).

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=877711
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Yep, I have root by using that firmware and also having Kingroot permanently on the unit.

On another note... I only just realised that you can install live wallpapers on the stock Launcher (Doh) so all I need to do now is find one that has GPS speed on it! (or maybe add it?)

There is one with a whole host of data but not GPS speed unfortunately.

Pretty cool having a Nebula spinning around in the back ground though :)
[Android Head-Units] brunes:
My issue is my radio is running a totally different firmware series than the one posted ( 20190105A-1024x768-860C-Ver1.0.0.Carcool-Ov vs 20181209A-1024x768-860C_A7.1.1_Koma7_ROOT.rar )

See attachments for a screenshot of my firmware version. Notice how it has very different versioning sequence.

As such I am worried if I flashed one of these ROMs I may break my unit! And I don't know how to back it up,without root...
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
It should be fine, but you could ask the seller for the original firmware. Who is the seller you purchased this radio from?

FYI, all of the firmware is generally compatible between sellers because the manufacturer of the radios is the same. The difference in firmware is mostly branding.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Where did the radar sounds come from with your original system? Stereo speakers?

What vehicle is it?
[Android Head-Units] brunes:
I got it from Rhino Radios (who by the way has been fairly excellent in after-sale support). https://rhinoradios.com/

Its a Dodge Ram, 2017. The sound normally comes from the factory speakers, when you use the factory head unit.

I had another third-party unit before this that had a standard ISO DIN and as such I used a wiring harness from Axxess. In that case, the wiring harness actually had a little speaker in it and that made the radar sounds.

The Android unit, knows about the radar - I can see it on the screeen, its working perfectly. It just doesn't play any sound.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
You're the second person to say this about Rhino. They sound like the go to for these now. Their prices are good like Phoenix Android and not ridiculous (IMO) like Linkswell's.

To be fair, Linkswell reportedly also has excellent service and Phoenix Android's supports is really bad (I mean pull your hair out bad).

I'm sure they could provide you with the original firmware if you asked them.

I too have a RAM. If you haven't already done so, check out the thread in RamForum regarding these radios in our trucks.

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Oh and another Ram owner on the Ram Forum has your same issue with the parking sensors. I'll let you know if we figure it out.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Well this 'killapps' is driving me nuts... Live wallpapers work fine from reboot and if you change screens, nav, music, video's, Home etc... but when it goes to sleep the live wallpaper has been nuked!

I really need some help in switching the killapp call off :(

Any ideas guys?

EDIT:

Changed the Live wallpaper to a system app and it appears to have worked :fingers-crossed:

Tried doing the same with the GPS speed widget... no joy... I'll get there in the end

Just need to figure out how to change the text xml's without the unit having a huff! You can see why I need to change the text

Return radio

Damnn, so paypal is saying to return the radio, was hoping I didn't have to do this. I installed my radio myself but honestly, if i had someone to install this like a normal person, it prob would of cost over 100 bucks, so now I would have to return the radio after installation, or wait after installation and un installation, that is ridiculous, oh and return shipping, this sucks. So I guess I'm going to bite the bullet and just keep the radio, wasnt what I thought and china got over me, this sucks. Bought a radio, from the seller, who told me multiple times android 7.1, def has video output, and got stuck with a 4.4 kitkat, with no video output. I mean it's a nice radio but damn.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I would argue with them. At the very least return shipping should be on them. I don't think folks should get free radios, but I do think they should get what they paid for!

Hi guys,

I hava a Tesla style Android 6.0 unit for my Mitsubishi Outlander.

Can I just update this to 7.1 with the files from pda4 forums?

I downloaded the 1024 resolution files (mine is 1024).

Somebody tried it?
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
No you cannot and you likely actually have a 4.4.4 unit. Post a picture of your system info screen and I will confirm what you can flash.
[Android Head-Units] dude-nl:
Just installed it.

It's Kitkat.

But, 2 problems:

A/C is not working (Outlander Phev, with Canbus, all installed correctly through Canbus)

No sound.

In advanced settings I tried: Outlander LO, Outlander Hi but no difference.

Does someone here has a Mitsubishi Outlander 2015 who can tell me the settings?

Is there a way to update the MCU/Canbus etc?

I will post current firmware in a moment...
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Please post a picture if your system info screen...

[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
This is a 4.4.4 unit. Do you have it powered up on your desk or is it installed in this picture?
[Android Head-Units] dude-nl:
I already found out it was 4.4

It installed an update I found on pda4.ru

On the picture the update already installed.

If you have link to newer build I would like it.

It is in the car. Picture is from in car.

Because of Canbus it needs to be in car for installation.

For now, still no sound and still no A/C.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
It doesn't appear that you have a CANBUS module plugged in. Have you double checked the connections?
[Android Head-Units] dude-nl:
Yes, it's connected 100% and light on canbus are burning.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Then I'd go with your original plan and find someone with the same setup to see if you need to flash the CANBUS update. That or contact the seller...who did you purchase from?
[Android Head-Units] dude-nl:
It was a 2nd hand buy.

The original Aliexpress shop doesn't exist anymore.

I opened up the device to see if I can find a manufacturer but no names on the PCB.

Strange thing is:

I already have a 8inch Android unit.

That connects with a 20 pin connector from canbus to headunit.

This new canbus, has the same 20 pin output, but there are only going 16 (regular euopean ISO) in to the headunit.

As far as I know, canbus signals are not goinig through a regular 16 pin ISO. So how can the headunit communicate with Canbus then?

Is there someone here who als only has 2x 8 pins EU Iso on the headunit and explain me how the canbus decoder is connected to that?

Or does someone has a pinout of the 20 pin Canbus connector and even the ISO connector?
[Android Head-Units] dude-nl:
Is there someone here who also has the European ISO connector on the headunit?

All models I see have the Android 20 pin connector to connect from Canbus to headunit.

This radio has the Euopean ISO (16 pins) that I need to connect to the 20 pins (Android) and need to find out what the pinout is and where I have to put the 4 extra wires (3 Canbus I guess).
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Hi. I've been playing around with klwp+tasker, and achieved a live wallpaper that fits my needings. Sorry for the bad quality of the image and video, but I did it when it was wip; the video is taken from an android emulator.

As you can see, I've added an upper part with hour/speed/info about wifi, altitude and street name.

In the center, I have located the music player, and down this part I have put some icons (in the wip photo all of them have the same icons, in the video I have set the right icons, and they are animated too).

It could seem easy to set up, but I have had to search a lot of workarounds because of:

1. The need of the street name (I have had to set up a google maps API key and a lot of tweaking to search and show the right information).

2. The need of using Poweramp (because it's the only player that start playing music as soon as the unit boots; sometimes, I am seeing the boot image and it is already playing music), and Poweramp and klwp are not friends (so a lot of workarounds again).

I have used the [MENTION=8668875]ikuznets222[/MENTION] program to hide upper bar and I use FCC launcher; under the apps icons, I have a bar with omniswitch working. The upper part shows the synced lyrics thanks to musixmatch (sorry for not have taken good images).

I am also asking for help (and I summon ikuznets222 because of his wisdom, and as a link with 4pda), because I would want to improve the system by:

1. Being able to use another player (¿is there any way to start music as soon as the unit boots?

2. Being able to modify brightness without upper bar.

I have discovered that system brightness is stored in /sys/devices/platform/rk29_backlight/backlight/rk28_bl/actualbrightness. If we could modify this file (changing it's permissions as root, and sending a command echo "100", for example), we could modify brightness, but somehow, as soon as I modify de file, it is restored to the system brightness.

Does any of you know how could we achieve any of these??

Ps. The live wallpaper still have some issues, due to the fact that Poweramp doesn't send all the information correctly, but it works almost perfectly.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Sorry, the image is turned right but I can't find how to flip it.

How can I do a factory reset ?

When I do it using the normal method , the hidden advanced settings remains the same.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
On 7.1.1 images, name the firmware file "px3_reset.img"

On 4.4.4 images, rename the file "update_force.img"

When you restart the radio it will flash the file and reset.

[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
What did you flash exactly?
[Android Head-Units] MOE653:
I flashed a file named " 20190116B-Ver1.0.0.chwy-860B-EN_update_force.img ".

it was for 4.4 version with 1024x768
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Did you have it named that when you attempted to force flash?
[Android Head-Units] MOE653:
I named it " update_force.img ".
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
It no longer will attempt to flash that file? Have you tried changing USB ports? Are you removing the update drive after the flashing is complete?
[Android Head-Units] MOE653:
No it wont flash the file

Yes i have tried changing USB ports

After the flashing completed I got a black screen.

I waited 5 mins then I removed the update drive.

It's not actually always black screen.

when I try to flash the file again each 2 mins, half of the screen becomes white for like 2 sec.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Try using a different compatible firmware.
[Android Head-Units] MOE653:
I tried but it didn't work.

When the update drive is plugged in , after 15 min I saw the boot logo and then it immediately went black again.

I guess it was flashing the firmware but it wasn't compatible too.

I've never heard of them being Marshmallow but I suppose it is possible.

It does appear to be a video driver issue that's messing things up.

Give the Nougat 7.1 file a go, nothing to loose?
