Out of curiosity I had a look at the Xtron unit for my Ford... and I was not impressed.

I am not saying that the units are bad but I did not see any feature that would indicate that they are better than the Joying.

I am happy with the support Joying provided for me..

It's true that Joying does not had the CD/DVD anymore but I never used it in the last unit that I had in use for 2 years or so.... I only tested the unit when I bought it out of curiosity to see if the CD/DVDs are working alright. It did but the DVD's were scorching hot after spending an hour in the unit.

The Joying has Bluetooth tethering that is very important to me, it had a decent quad core, the ability to root and install a very powerfull EQ sofware (Viper4Android), head and shoulders above any default EQ that I've seen in any unit so far. The Joying has GLONASS that I haven't seen on other units...

I am not saying that Joying is perfect but for the price has the most rich feature set... at this moment in time of course.... future might bring better units at even lower prices.

Anyone know the chmod number for LRW XR WX RWX

Not sure how to get a special character L

Currently replacing the Joying system/Bluetooth folder with one from a X86 Android 6.0 clean version to see if that fixes my connection issues.

All files in the Bluetooth folder and Chmod 644 except the Libbluetooth_jnj.so and that has the LRWXRWXRWX permissions

Currently my ALPConnect app connects to the BT device for exactly 3 mins and then disconnects and reconnects, drives me nuts and Joying said they cannot fix it even though I sent them a HCI log detailing the Bluetooth errors

Thanks in advance

I came across a problem with Google maps on the may 25 update. I've seen it on 2 joying radios now. When you 1st go to Google maps and enter an address and hit "directions" it just sits there and thinks. It never goes any further. I have to close maps, reopen it, then it works fine. I didn't have this problem any any previous joying update. I performed it correctly as well by factory resetting it before updating then factory resetting again.

Since I upgraded and reinstalled VLC Player on 6.01, VLC is not playing video files, haven't tried all formats, but so far could't open any. What is an good alternative Video Player without ads? want to play mov or mp4 files on it, 1080. Was playing great in Android 5. If 6.02 is the answer then I will upgrade otherwise will wait for next Android release.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Probably not the best place to ask, and actually wonder if it would get a reply, but has anyone tried the AT&T Direct TV app on the Joying? The one that allows you to play anything that you are subscribed to without using data? I will try it later.

Anyone else having a problem accessing the blog..? Is it down?
[Android Head-Units] xdamember2:
It was down last night.
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I couldn't access it today

looks like they updated their site, changed the name in the url for the blog:

l is symbolic link (something similar to shortcut in windows)

[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Updated the rom too... Now it's May 30th
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I can't find a May 30th. Do you mean they updated the post itself (they added info for the mistake with "keypad tone", and they added info about the difference between the 5009 and 6021 unit).

The rom is not updated as far as I can find.
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
Looks like their site is down again, be nice if there is a new rom when it comes back on
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
No, you're probably right... I just glanced at it on my break
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Great, what does this mean? As I was updating, after I factory reset I inserted the flash to update the the May 25th update and I get "OTA package and app package much be updated same time !"
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
I had already updated early may to the 6.0... I just tried to update to the May 25th update and it gave me the error... Am I getting it right that I need to change the zip on the external sdcard to 5009_60.zip? Or something else, because I did that and it threw an error during the update process.. Said path not found for 5009_60.zip or something....

Update edit

After renaming the file, if done so on the head unit, you must reboot before attempting g to install... I did exactly what I did before and just rebooted and it updated just fine.
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
More 6.0 blues. My radio has now locked up 3 times (twice with the may 12 update and once with the may 25 update.). It was just playing music and froze. Bluetooth disconnects randomly. If I pull my phone out I can manually reconnect bit it's annoying. Google maps has to be launched twice. The first attempt won't start navigation, it just sits there and thinks.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

It means you grabbed the wrong file. They have 2 different versions. One is upgrade 5.1 to 6.0 and the other is 6.0 earlier version to 6.0 newer version. I did the same thing.
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
I got it sorted. Changed the zip from 5009_20.zip to 5009_60.zip, removed the flash card, rebooted and then reinserted the flash drive, and updated like it should..

Did you wipe first, reboot, update, wipe and reboot without card or drives installed.?
[Android Head-Units] fabien_m2002:
Hello

Steering wheel media control settings have disappear? I cannot see the menu in the general settings as before? What's wrong?
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
Yep, I did all that when I installed the update.
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
Does anyone have this hooked to subwoofer outputs? I want to know of the SW out is a low pass crossover or full range.

I haven't updated to the ROM with SW switch yet.
[Android Head-Units] naplesbill:
Seems to be full range. But the latest update includes sw adjustment in the eq.
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
That was quick. I commented on their YouTube video that the RCA outs need high and low pass ability. I wonder if there is a better way to mention it
[Android Head-Units] naplesbill:
I feel that they will not add that. Most people use their amp to set the frequency ranges. Or even an external processor.

I have never had a radio where the built in adjustments were equal to external. But it would make it easier to make changes. I prefer the least processed signal possible from the HU.
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I have run mid to late 2000's Kenwood excellon units in my vehicles, both had this feature. I can build a crossover for this.

Would any of you be able to mod the color of the volume level slider to blue?
[Android Head-Units] naplesbill:
Yeah. I have had many high end head units with these controls but I always avoid them. I used to run Eclipse exclusively because they had the cleanest output. External is better to me. But it would be nice to have them for many others.
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
Is there a DPI setting or does build prop have to be changed?
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I found reference to people going up to 240dpi. Still not certain how.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I see that you are new so my advice is to have a look at my Q&A here https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/intel-sofia-to-micro-tutorials-qa-t3616074

I answered a lot of questions, including the DPI changing and a short tutorial.

It will help you get acquainted a bit better with the unit.
[Android Head-Units] bigsteve01:
I use an app from the play store called easy dpi changer it's very east to use and I run my unit at 200 dpi
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I should have said "safely change dpi".

New to this unit, yes. New to Android, no.

I got stuck with an exploded UI once changing DPI. I don't want to repeat that.

I've always used build prop before.

Thanks for the thread/compilation.

Initial upgrade from 5.1.1 to May 25th and have a few problems

Just upgraded the JY-VL130N2 VW model from the 5.1.1 it came with, to 6.0.1 and it updated without any obvious problems. Unfortunately the radio is not picking up any local stations, so I'm guessing it is set to the wrong frequency range. On my older 4.4.4 Joying unit there was a screen under settings where you could select the correct Canbus interface, along with the correct radio hardware and regional frequencies to use. I've been looking in both 'Settings' and 'Car Settings' but have not been able to find where these hardware options can be changed or set. Anyone have any pointers on how to make sure the correct radio frequencies are selected under 6.0.1?

It also seems that and SD cards in the 'GPS TF' slot are ignored when I have an SD card in the second SD slot - anyone figured out if there is an end-user change that can correct that issue, or do we need to wait for Joying to correct this in a subsequent release?

Thanks,

Graham

Just bought a 2017	JY-UM135N2

JOYING-7-Android-Car-Stereo-Android-6-0-Head-Unit-Intel-Quad-Core-Double-Din-BT

Very Fast but there are a few bugs. I have a USB with 8 GB of music and every time I start the car its always searching.

Tried other USB, Factory Reset, Less Music - it say searching and when I do see it, it works but next time I start the car stays on the same song and searches for another 3-5 min.

Is there a problem with the app?

Iv tried over 10 other app that work great no problem with loading music and fast but I cant use my SWC witch is a must.

Any Fix out there?

Also would be nice to have a button to blackout screen instead of going in to the assistive touch or waiting 3 min. Any fix there?
[Android Head-Units] bigsteve01:
In the radio app if you swipe the bottom bar left or right you will find the settings tab you can change the radio area in there
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I haven't found any way to increase DPI so that the system UI would look good.

I wrote about it many times, I posted many pictures in the Android 5 thread.

The most annoying thing for me is that the upper bar gets insanely thick and takes a lot of screen estate.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
my unit should be here today! same as your got of amazon. how do you like the unit? and also how is the gps? [MENTION=5829185]DragFX[/MENTION]
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
Try this...for proper dpi and systemui. All commands must use root. If you reboot, system ui will be skewed, so you must run the script again. One click fix though. Probably don't want to combine with build.prop edit. Way easier.
[Android Head-Units] spadesluck:
Without reading all 71 pages, what is the consensus on the 6 update? Is it worth moving to? I just picked up a new Joying that still has the 5.1 and was curious.
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
If 5.1 is working well for you, there really isn't any great need to update. Both are stable and run well on my unit. Not much new in terms of features.
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
Been struggling heaps with the Bluetooth in my unit, hope someone can help.

Seem the BT connection is only on when using the Joying BT app to connect to phone, but when other apps that don't use the Joying BT app to connect to devices it appears to goto sleep after 3mins breaking the connection and reconnecting.

I can't see anything in the Joying server that turns this service off.

Also it appears it does not support HID devices, like keyboards either
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
A question about launchers... I have used another launcher, and it seemed just to be a mask of you will... Are there any that are true launchers.

I tried Car Launcher, worked great of I installed it with the original UI1 or 2 before install. But, for some reason after playing around with it, all of a sudden things would lock up in the open apps tray, and once I'd get out of it, it had reverted back to UI3. UI3 would cause this same issue with the Google app as well. Tried CM Launcher and the same thing.

I have the Android 6 may 25th update installed.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
anybody having problems finding location when offline gps/device i have JY-UM135N2 when online everything is good when off cant find location for offline navigation? also does anybody have password for backlight adjustment control? thx in advace
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Passwords:*

3368 for settings

8086 launchers

5768 menu backlight

As far as offline GPS location, it shouldn't matter. What Nav are you using?
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
thx so much. I'm using all of them. I mean when offline when data is off on any offline map like sygic it says searching for location! weird [MENTION=8303451]Redbullssg[/MENTION] again thx you for passwords

[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Actually, I just noticed this today. I finally installed igo from the link that Joying sent me, and it does exactly what you said. Not necessarily when I'm off line either. If it runs in background, and I have music player or any other app running in for ground, it's says gps lost signal.

This doesn't happen with Google Maps though....
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
is there a switch to turn on for GPS? in car settings even my location can't be found when location is on.
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Yes in carsettings, but gps should be on by default. Did you install the head unit?
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
car settings/gps should always on? when I go into car settings its of and I switch it on it goes back off
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
sorry about all the uploads lol
[Android Head-Units] allenrb2:
With Sygic, I had to go to settings, then apps, and select Sygic. Then I had to select permissions, and allow it location permissions. For some reason it wasn't already granted them, and it didn't ask for them, same thing happened to me with Waze.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
but in car settings is your GPS on? also if you go to GPS mode do you see signal? and also are saying if I turn permissions on all maps do mean GPS signal will turn on? because physically when I go to car settings GPS is off. thx for your help
[Android Head-Units] allenrb2:
Oh that's a different problem than I was having. I only had trouble with gps not on once. I used the GPS Status app from the play store, then I got a position fix, and it hasn't been a problem since

But you do want to make sure the permission is given to Sygic, or it won't matter.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
thx

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

when you get a chance can you go to car settings/settings and see if antenna is always on? and also that's GPS antenna setting correct?
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
I think what you were referring to as gps is radar? That's for back up sensors, not gps... Also, you did hook up your GPS antenna right? Placed it in a good spot with clear view to the sky, and preferably on a steel surface where the magnet will attach itself?

The other pics are the settings you need to find

The first is in settings/location, the others are in car settings

[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Mine is, I don't think I turned it on manually... I don't even know what it does, lol

Actually yes I do, all it does is mix the music sound with the GPS voice.

Are you sure all permissions are set?
[Android Head-Units] Wilk7:
I found that if AF, TA and PTY stop working after uploading the Radio app, for some reason the RDS selection under settings went to Off. Turning RDS back ON then it's OK.

I also changed the Radio App that Sanangel post, a bit. Basically just scale and calibrated the ruler so that it starts at 87.50 and end at 108. And ad some dots on the press buttons, because the text was not centre. Also changed the Music and Video apps for a similar look. Must thank surfer63 and Sanangel for this mod. Busy with changing the Amp IC to Pioneer.
[Android Head-Units] Wilk7:
The video player mod
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
With regard to the "not centered" text on the buttons. In the 6 "StationView" sections in the radio app you will find the "extras":[30,0,0,0],

Change this to "extras":[0,0,0,0], and the text will be centered. The "extras" will offset the text 30 pixels in the original version.

I just modified my own mod again this afternoon. I pushed it to my unit and it worked fine. After about half an hour I remembered that it is better to reboot, so I rebooted.

The radio app does no longer work and is no longer installed. By now I'm getting crazy due to these 6.0.1 versions.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
k I'm a kook the guy that installed the head unit did not plug in the GPS. thx everybody for there help. that's why I luv the android community
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
Can you share your work?
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
So it was not plugged in?
[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I'm running Nova launcher, which does this.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
yea it wasn't plugged in
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
I gotta just say, that was the first thing I wanted to ask, but didn't want to insult you, lol. Sometimes ya just have to goto the basics, lol
[Android Head-Units] Wilk7:
Of course, my pleasure, after all it your design and an excellent one.
[Android Head-Units] Wilk7:
Now you see for the life of me I could not find where to change the text center position! Thanks for that. Strange that your radio mod gives you that issues. Mine is running fine and I am using your script. I changes and uploaded numerous times, and it seems to be gone if I pushed more one one app before I reboot, so now I reboot every time I uploaded something. I changed your script so that have one to upload the Music app and another for the Video app. I new to this, so do no how to kill the Video App. Tried but gave up at the end. I wish I could change the ruler numbering so that it shows 87.50, 90.00, 95.00, 100.00, 105.00 and 108.00. Don't know how but not difficult to add that text to the ruler itself, just need to clear the code for the original numbering ( if I can find it!)
[Android Head-Units] allenrb2:
OK, for installing this do we just need to replace the apk, or do we need to run the old script with this file in place of the original?
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
The MicroSD slot on left is either overly large or set too far forward of the receptacle inside the unit. I got one card misaligned and it slipped a bit sideways, missing the socket and nearly getting lost to the inside of the unit. am i doing something wrong do i need a smaller sd card for slot head unit JY-UM135N2 ? thx in advance oh yeah i will never buy a kenwood ever again unless its android os
[Android Head-Units] allenrb2:
No that's just a problem with the slot itself. I have the same HU, and had the same thing happen to me. You have to slide it in just right.
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
joying just sent me pics! the slot on right goes in like normal sd card should the one on left is upside down for some reason and get real tight on right on the left slot as these pics show that she sent me
[Android Head-Units] freddienuxx:
sorry the right sd card slot you insert sd card upside down and left side you insert as normal way
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
To kill the video app: "am force-stop com.syu.video"

That ruler code is really in the smali, not in the layout.
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
I just adapted the surfer work to the OWA version of the Joying firmware. The merit is of [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION] ..

Thank you also for sharing your own work.

I want to modify the player to make bigger the picture of the disc cover.
[Android Head-Units] Wilk7:
Thanks surfer, think I tried that but will check again soon, just installed the Pioneer Amp, not happy with the stock heatsink, so busy making a new one. Will also look into the ruler.

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Think you know , but for other who don't, the Music Player settings is in the Music_player.xml file and music_grid.xml within the raw folder. The default size is 238, 238 and Player_APIC, think that is where you can change it.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Today I stubbornly did the same. I pushed the exact same 6.0.1 mod to my unit, rebooted immediately, and voila: the app works.

I rebooted again, and it plays. I rebooted again, and it plays.

What on earth (or anywhere else) causes this ridiculous behavior. The only thing I did differently was an immediate reboot from the script.

So inside the script I did as last line a "adb shell su -c reboot".

(This also means that on your laptop you need to open another terminal to do a "adb kill-server", or wait 5 minutes or so.)

Maybe I have to test this a little further.
[Android Head-Units] DragFX:
Can you send a pick of what the unit looks like. Does it start up with it working or do you have to turn it on every time you start the car?

It looks like there are guys on here that can customize some code. Does anyone wanna figure out why the dam music play takes so long to start up?

Can some one let me know if there is a way to make a button for the Blank Screen (Cant find what you were saying dropdown) and find the timer for the front button lights to change it from 5 min turn off time to 1 min turn off time.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
If you are talking about the default one, it is slow because it is scanning all the usb drives and microsd cards that are attached to the unit every time the unit starts.
[Android Head-Units] DragFX:
They should make the media play work with USB 1

To be honest I think no one has the time to invest in creating a launcher from scratch.... for free..... when there are so many in the Google Play store
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
That doesn't explain why other music apps, that have way more functions, that also scan all drives, take less than 30 seconds to scan my 8000 songs, one time.... Literally, every time the stock app opens, it takes a good 5minutes of scanning, every time I open it.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I wonder if it's something in UI3. I have reverted back to UI1 and 2,and installed Nova launcher, Google app and everything worked great and twice now, all of a sudden it gets stuck in the apps tray and then when I finally make it back the the home screen, UI3 is set. So it had set itself to UI3 and caused the conflict with Google.

If I could take UI3 completely off this thing I would... Wish there were a good complete replacement UI...

Until the bugs are worked out by them, I'm not updating any more or switching from UI3, or installing Google app. Which is a shame, as that was the reason I bought it for....
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
I am not able to install your radio application, using adb is not installed and if I try to replace the file or install it tells me that there is an error parsing the package. Same the files you passed are corrupted ...
