So lions123 is on Android 6. Are you anon101x?

These Radio apps were modded on 5.1.1.

I could hardly detect any differences between the 5.1.1 and the 6.0.1, but if the 6.0.1 version has been compiled against different framework and library versions, then that could be the issue.

As one of you mentioned the RED_WHITE, I made a RED_WHITE modded version version of the 6.0.1 Radio apk. Can you try it?

Simply unzip attached zip, copy the apk in one of the current RED, RED_WHITE, BLUE_WHITE or whatever folder and run the script.

Note that I'm still on 5.11 so I could not test myself.
[FYT Android Head Units] lions123:

JY-UL135N2 Android 6.01 Windows 10

To the folder "RED_WHITE" I inserted new file JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0.apk.

Click on "Radio" icon - "application not installed".

To the folder "RED_WHITE" I inserted the original file JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0.apk, and Radio plays.

When I'm on 6.0.1 I will try, but that will probably take 1½ week as I will go on a short holiday (with my car) and I will not "fumble" with my head unit before my holidays.
[FYT Android Head Units] lions123:
Thanks for your support, I can wait....

Just the information, what is ongoing......

After the script is finished on 6.0.1, still the original radio is running (also after a reboot). When I start the File Manager, I can see the JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0.apk file. Now I need to click on it to install it. With the RED_WHITE version I will get a Parsing error information. When I copy the original file from the unpacked Allapp.pkg, the radio application will be installed and I can start it from the radio icon or from the widget.

Enjoy your holiday....

Does anybody know how to change the country of the joying unit? Have pandora installed on the jyoing and using pure VPN with location US on my phone with the Wifi tethring but Pandora is not working as it recognizes that the joying's android showing "Germany" as country (where I bought it). I am on 5.1.1 and rooted with superSu mod.

I have a problem...

Some times when i leave the car the radio doesn't poweroff (only standby)even if you have selected the option... and also the botton lights remain turned on... how can I fix this?
[FYT Android Head Units] sweetnothings:
i saw this problem when light switch input was still on when i powered off the unit.

this did not happen when i switched the lights off before shuting down ignition.

as solution, i did install a relais to disconnect light switch input when i turn off ignition.

to verify if you have the same issue you can switch to time based backlight switch in carsettings app. and then disconnect light switch wire.

no, i did never try the option to shutdown radio completly evry time.
[FYT Android Head Units] Astur_Torque:

Lately i am noticing some freezes in my unit and i end up doing a reset. The problem is that after the reset the unit seems to lose the saved radio stations and also the keypad tone are back on every time after that. Do you have any idea what causes that?
[FYT Android Head Units] sweetnothings:
this is the same on mine, i think this is on all joying sofia units.

i assume that some stuff is not saved in android, so it will be the mcu part i think. saved radio stations and touch tone response setting for example and this get cleared on reset or power loss.
[FYT Android Head Units] nk33:
i bought this unit in December 16, in March i had the problem where the display stopped working but it still played music, and the touch screen still responded to swipes. Joying advised me of the soldering fix which i did. this worked and the screen was fine.

a few weeks later i got in my car and the stereo litterally did not switch on at all. i was extremely disappointed. I put this down to just having a faulty unit, Joying accepted the return and i purchased a new one. i have had it now for 3 weeks and touch wood it is working well....I am just sceptical that the same thing will happen again.

Perhaps this is down to the fact that it is a known issue that the unit does get hot - I just dont understand why they dont put a basic cooling system in there as it wont cost them a lot and customers will be happy...
[FYT Android Head Units] fuji_T:
is anyone able to actually change the settings back to stock android?

I used the 4-27-17_Original_5009_20_Settings.zip and using minimal adb, tried to run the script. It wasn't able to get root (root is enabled on my head unit.

I then copied each of the files individually and set the permissions to what they should be. Settings opens, and then promptly crashes.

Then I went to joying update file and copied their version of settings (i have the 8" variant and thought the perhaps, the other file was for the 7" version). It opens and promptly crashes.

Anyone able to help? I have been using headunitrealoaded and would love to have proper bluetooth.

Thanks!
[FYT Android Head Units] swanie2000:
IIRC, you need to copy over the entire settings folder, not just the Settings.apk.

I just use RootBrowser, to move the files/folders where they need to be...
[FYT Android Head Units] brunes:
Does anyone have a solution for the problem where the unit will not switch away from Radio sound unless you run the built-in music app *first*, before your own app such as TuneIn Radio etc?

IE - if I listen to FM Radio right after boot up, and then launch Tune In, I hear no sound, the FM radio sound keeps playing even though that app is now backgrounded.

The only way to get it to switch off the radio so I can hear TuneIn is if I run the Joying "Music Player" app FIRST, then open TuneIn.

This is true regardless of the app.. TuneIn, Google Play Music, Amazon, Spotify, anything.... the FM Radio "holds on" to the sound until the Joying app runs.
[FYT Android Head Units] fuji_T:
I tried that. Copied the APK, oat, and Settings.odex. Then I changed the permissions (0644 - APKs, and the oat folder to a value I can't remember, but found in a joying thread). And it doesn't work.

I was able to get it with the .bat file from AssassinsLament. I had put an older version of it on before and had problems, but I just deleted the settings folder and uninstalled the battery saver app (not sure what it is but it was installed with the last settings app). Rebooted after that and gave grant always permission for root access. Then I ran the .bat file, rebooted and good to go.

I am having problems - I managed to get Ok Google to work from any screen (thanks tons for this) but for the Alarm Volume, I did NOT yet change the settings.apk, I used a widget to adjust the alarm volume. When I changed the alarm volume, it is automatically re-muted. I also tried with the Clock app and received the same results, it is just automatically re-muted. I am using Android 5.1 and Firmware released 12/08. Is settings.apk the only way to adjust the alarm volume?

grab the file from the above post. it needs to go in system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0 or similar folder , not sure what the correct spelling is.

reboot then change the alarm sound from your chosen method.

this has the alarm sound fix for 5.1, also mods from this page.

Did anybody re-pack allapp.okg? When edited app are replaced, does it need to be signed or not?
[FYT Android Head Units] fabien_m2002:
Hello,

maybe you should add the ability to share bluetooth data tethering thanks to this app:

https://github.com/lbdroid/JoyingIntelStuff

- Create a directory in /system/priv-app/ named "BTTether". It should be root.root 755. Copy the file BTTether.apk into that directory, it should be root.root 644. sync and reboot.

- Now you should have a new program in your menu "Bluetooth Tethering". Select your phone in the list, and check the auto-PAN.

- Also install this program on your android phone (just a regular install, not in the system partition), and enable "auto bluetooth tethering".

Hi all!

Could you help me with some strange issue?

I had modified Car settings.apk (strings for Russian), then re-pack it with apktool, then signed it. And re-pack Allapp.pkg.

The firmware was installed OK without any problems, but there is NO Car settings link on main screen. And no link in all apps menu.

When I tried to install modified and original Car settings.apk into Andy, I got Shared user incompatible error.

Please advice where is the issue in my actions... Thanks in advance
[FYT Android Head Units] gustden:
The apk file needs to be signed with the original signature. Since it using a shared user the signature must match all apks using that user. You can use the -c option of apktool to retain the original signature when building the apk:

apktool -c b {code_directory}

As long as you don't change the manifest, this should work.
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
I've posted this in the Android 6 thread but my findings were a such a big sound changer that I've decided to post my findings here as well:

I've installed my Android 6 unit into the car and replaced the previous unit (another Chinese unit ) and realized that the sound quality is not as good. I started to fiddle with Viper4Android for an hour at least with the engine running (waste of fuel).... no matter WHAT I tried the EQ section from Viper4Android seems to do very little the the overall sound... I had a hard time hearing the difference. I remember that some of the users from the android 5 thread telling me why I bother with Viper4Android because it does not improve sound so much... and they were right... on my old unit the difference was HUGE after I installed Viper.

So I took the old version of Viper that I was using on my old unit meaning "ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk" and replaced it into the install script.

WOW ! The difference is HUGE once again. Guys the EQ works and you can hear the difference from miles away.

So the ViPER4Android_FX_v2505_A4.x-A7.x.apk that was used previously has some major problems and the EQ is pretty much dead, yeah, there are things that work alright like Viper Bass, Viper Clarity and so on but not the EQ and the EQ is a BIG part of the Viper and sound.

Can't stress enough how big the difference the EQ brings. I am glad that I brought the good sound back. I am still testing the Viper4Android but it looks that it is working ok even if it was made a while back and the compatibility might be not so good.

Later edit : If there are some interested I can share my Viper kit.
[FYT Android Head Units] artvoip:

Apk was built with -c option, but after firmware was installed, the same thing - no CarSetting apk link in launcher :mad:
[FYT Android Head Units] ztbishop:
I'm about to pick up one of these units. I plan to update it to 6.0, as it adds bluetooth connectivity for more devices.

Does the update add support for subwoofer controls, or should I run a volume knob in the RCA line going to the woofer amp?

I see the peak watts is 45 per speaker according to one poster? Can anybody chime in on the RMS watts?

I'd like to update the stock speakers in my car and would like to stay CLOSE to the right numbers, but Joying doesn't seem to even mention jack about the built in amp.

How is the audio quality on these units. Is it "ok" compared to say, a $200 Pioneer double din? Would it make sense to even upgrade the stock speakers? (maybe some $50 per pair Kickers or JBL).
[FYT Android Head Units] ant0ni084:
I've updated the unit with new firmware, there is the new equalizer (now subwoofer is included) and others things, but root last method by zip file doesn't work, in Windows with CMD application I get "device null error" and it resets the unit to default settings (luckily with all apps). ??

So the sound is ok? Cause i have 4 stock speaker to feed. And i use my subwoofer with a amp.

Btw how many rca out are there 2 or 1 for speakers?

They are all the ssme radios? I mean i would get a 1din 7or8" once can't have a 2din.... And does the sound sound thr same on 2din and 1din Version?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Can you share the translated strings? And which CMSettings.apk did you use? The 6.01 version from 27 april, 3 May or 12 May?

Were you on windows? If so: did you check whether your file now contains DOS line-endings?

Notepad++ has an option to convert DOS line endings (CR) back to Unix line endings (LF). It is in Edits->EOL conversion (that is in the English version. I assume the russian translation is slightly different :))
[FYT Android Head Units] gustden:
I am also very happy with the sound quality from this unit. I replaced my stock speakers with (4) 6.5" Kicker D-Series 2-Way Speakers. Even without a sub, the bass shakes my rear view mirror enough to make it hard to see out of. I have no complaints about the power or sound, especially with the kickers.
[FYT Android Head Units] artvoip:
Translated srtings are attached to this post. I used 12th May version. Apktool was started on Windows 7 x64. I just edited existed Joying file with XML editor (the same I used for other apks and they are working normal)

The problem is that after I unpack CMSettings.apk with apktool like apktool d CMSettings.apk, edited strings.xml and pack it back with apktool -c b CMSettings then this apk is no link on main screen after firmware "upgrade". I edited ru-strings, but there is no link even for English too. So, I have mistaken somewhere with apktool, not with file...

Yes, I had this as well and so had other VW/Seat/Skoda users. For some owners it works, for others it doesn't. I created a work-around which works very good for me. No more issues for me anymore. Longest time was 12-13 days without driving, with some 20-30 minutes of "playing" with the unit on the driveway within those 12-13 days: it still started great (I must admit I had a bit sweaty hands :) )

Hi, hope you could enjoy your holiday. Are there any news about the RED_WHITE radio with 6.0.1 ?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, not yet. On my 5.1.1 unit I tried all versions, just to check whether the Red_White got somehow "corrupt", but all versions function fine.

I plan to update my unit to 6.0.1 tomorrow, that is Wednesday. Then I can check again.

I did a diff comparison though on the "old" 5.1.1 apk and the "new" 6.0.1 radio apk. They are identical code-wise. I used the diff tool to compare every smali in the unpacked app and again: they are simply identical.

Anyway, somewhere the coming 2 days I will experience first hand instead of reacting based on a theoretical approach.

Waht did you do with the original CMSettings.apk? Did you overwrite it?

Did you rename it? And if so: what name did you give it? Note that you can't have 2 files with extension apk in one folder. So if you renamed it, you should NOT rename to

something like "SYU-2-C9-CMSettings-V1.0.old.apk", but to something like "SYU-2-C9-CMSettings-V1.0.apk.old".

And the other 2 apks: The Bluetooth and the EQ apk? Do they work?

Hi gustden. I am GREATLY GREATLY appreciative of the information you have provided us as it has helped me to resolve some of the biggest complaints I have had with this head unit. I am only requesting, just to help other users and possibly myself in the future... Can you update the main (first) page to make the instructions and links to make "Ok Google" work from any screen and talk back alittle more clear? they're alittle vague and there are several references on this thread that lead you to the wrong SOFIA C9 SERVER apk file which does not allow the modifying of the alarm volume, it would be helpful to list the links for the OK Google software, the custom keys software (for both Andoid 5.1 and 6) and the sofia server all under 1 category for OK Google... it would just make things alot easier.

Just wanted to say, I switched from a rom'ed MTCB on 4.4.4 to the updated Sofia version (both toyota specific variants that look physically identical). Night and day difference. Updated to 6.0.1 and haven't found a single bug. They did a great job with this software, everything works perfectly and theres enough customization that I don't feel the need to root or flash a custom rom. Seems to be just a hair slower to open apps than my wife's OnePlus 3, which is pretty damn impressive for a $300 head unit. Gps is strong, sound is MUCH better than the MTCB even with the stock equalizer, radio reception is strong, wifi and Bluetooth connect quickly, backup camera works perfectly every time, and boot time is about 1 second vs 30-45 seconds for the MTCB after lots of optimizing. Love my new head unit, would recommend one of these to anyone. Seems like a huge upgrade over even the mtcd units.
[FYT Android Head Units] gustden:
Totally agree. I drive cars with honda link, nissan connect, ford sync, intelliLink, and others.
