I'm happy to say I finally got my unit working on the 5/27 joying update. Once I finally got the upgrade to work, this seems to be the most stable and bug free marshmallow release.

For me this update process did NOT go smoothly. Even after doing a factory reset both before and after the update, the system was very slow responding, hanging, and rebooting on its own. Somehow in upgrading from the 5/8 release my SD cards got corrupted.

Here is what finally worked for me:

- Remove both sdcards

- Factory reset / wipe data from settings menu

- Load ROM from USB Stick

- Let system boot up

- Factory reset / wipe data from settings menu

- Reboot

I had to reformat the sdcard on my PC, as the head unit would hang and reboot as soon as I put them in.

The only issue I am having is the 'Backlight Current Adjustment' menu is gone, so the brightness cannot be lowered as much as in the 5/8 release. Other than that, no complaints so far....

I just updated the "no-kill" and custom keys for the 5/27 release and it is working good on my unit.

Can someone check to see if Waze 3.7.8 works with Android 6 on the Joying? I don't want to upgrade from 5.1.1 if it does not. With Waze 3.7.8 you can adjust the distance in the preference files for receiving alerts. Newer versions of Waze only do .5 to 1 mile and can not be changed.. My version of waze is configured for 3 miles.
[Android Head-Units] Hilari0:
I've been following this for quite a while. I'm still on 5.1.1, have been waiting for 6.0 to mature a bit. Is this now a good upgrade from 5.1.1? Those who are on the latest update, would you recommend this over the latest 5.1.1, or is it best to stick to 5.1.1 for the time being?
[Android Head-Units] Dvalin21:
I would wait for a few more updates
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
I have absolute no problems with my Joying device. Update to 6.0.1 went smooth.

Have following unit: JY-UM128N2

Now i just need root, but i do not find something.

[Android Head-Units] edit:
I've tested the last version. Setting up was a bit tricky, lots of crashing but I made it.

If you restart the unit the app does not automatically start and if you auto start it somehow (with the help of some apps) it does not automatically connect to the last phone (what you previously selected).

You need to open the app, select again the phone, and push the Connect Pan button.

I will try, don't know if I can,to contact him and, to ask him to add the features that would be nice to have.... who knows...
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
I'm using the package that surfer63 mentioned and BT Tethering is working good on 5/27 release. It starts automatically and connects right away.

- Are you on the 5/27 ROM?

- Make sure it is installed in /system/priv-app

- Use one of the no-kill apk modifications.

- Wipe the data from the BT Tether application and re-select your bt device.

- On the phone side I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.mine.qos.btautotethering
[Android Head-Units] edit:
No, the app works fine as long as you don't have to reboot or the unit does not shutdown or reboot over night (for some reason).

In case of an unit reboot I would have liked the BTTether app to automatically start (in the background) and to remember and apply the settings used, before restarting, (to remember the phone used) and auto-connect to that specific phone (if it's still around) :)

It's true that I did not had the time to test it a lot but so far the latest update it's been pretty good for me... the only thing that does not work is Google Asistant (velvet.apk). Used to work for me in 5.1.1 I could "ok Google" from any screen or app but here for some reason it breaks the sleep mode and the unit shuts itself down.

Later edit : After I tested the velvet.apk, I deleted the folder and the app, rebooted and the unit did an auto-wipe.... So stay way from velvet.apk
[Android Head-Units] Dvalin21:
Its not the app, as I use it as well. Right now I will admit it stopped working correctly. I notice that!I get a constant reboot wipe when I manually delete the dalvike cache folder
[Android Head-Units] luigieg:
Same here. Im still on 5.11. The only thing stopping me from updating is the huge amount of spotify songs that I would have to re-download if I update :crying:
[Android Head-Units] Dvalin21:
You're not missing anything.
[Android Head-Units] Dvalin21:
So it would seem I have everything working with the exception of a few minor adjustments. However, the system is still buggy...I was able to create a custom boot logo and install it. I was able to get most things working except the 'Velvet.apk" must have stopped working because now I'm not able to utilize "Ok Google' from any screeen anymore.
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
As soon as it boots and connected to BT it activates tethering on my unit. The same after standby. I thought the entire purpose of putting it int priv-app was to allow it to restart on boot. I am still using the older versions:

Gustden, been following this thread for awhile and checking back in every couple of days. Was able to root, busybox update, supersu, Titanium Back Up and Viper4android with the help of this thread along with the Tips and Tricks thread. - Never owned an Android before

Quick question for you, I see that you mention the new Steering wheel key customization (V6.3) has been updated. You mention the new version is for the 5/27 joying update (6.0) - But when I go to Joying Blog 59, I only see an joying update 5/25 Android 6.0.1. Is there a typo and Steering wheel key customization V6.3 is actually to be used with the joying update 5/25 Android 6.0.1?

Thanks Gustden for your contributions. and Edit for his step by step mini manuals. and Assassin dude too, very helpful.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I really don't understand why so many people use the velvet.apk and not simply the Google app from the play store. It works excellent for me (only the OK Google from every screen doesn't work for me as I don't want to switch my unit to English).

No issues, automatic updates from play store, no complicated installs, etc.

hi guys, hopefully someone can help

So recently i read online that the /system/bluetooth.app and it odex is not used and is safe to delete, since I have been having bluetooth connection issues with a certain device I thought I would give it a shot.

Any way turns out it was kind of a important file, now my apps cannot turn on the bluetooth anymore.

I have created a batch file with adb but all i get is directory not found??? cant work out why.

this is my batch file

adb kill-server

Can Someone Help

I had a Joying JY-CL001N2 installed in a 2007 Chevy Suburban with the factory Bose sound system. Everything worked great, including the steering wheel controls. I updated the OS to 6.0.1 on Sunday and lost the steering wheel controls. I have been in email contact with Joying Support but because of the time difference it has been about 1 email a day and that is very frustrating when trying to resolve this issue? I have reset CarMediaSettings which updated the MCU as they asked but that didn't work. AND I cannot set the hand controls using the Steering Wheel app that is on the unit. Can anyone help?
[Android Head-Units] tuuza:
Did you re select your can mode in the carmediasettings?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Hi, I just updated to the android 6 25.5.2017 version from 5.1.1, update went smooth but when the unit booted it showed the Joying logo and the just dark. The system is running and touch works. Just dark screen.

This seems to me to be a problem with Launcher 3 or SystemUI.

I think a setup again can solve. Verify that Bootanimation is not corrupted.

I installed the may 27 update on my 8" 2gb joying radio. The may 12 update I had a couple freezes. There are 2 main problems with the may 27 update.

1. The option to turn the screen beeping is gone (joying listed a fix for this)

2. The main problem is if you cold boot or even press reset in the upper tool bar, the radio factory resets and reinstall the packet again. One of their early 6.0 updates had this problem.

Mine also is extremely sluggish. I think I might go back to the may 12 update.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Can you see the floating helper bubble. Use that to go into carmediasettings. From there change the launcher back to joying. I always had this problem if I installed Google now.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I will post what I wrote just a few pages back :

to ENABLE the Keypad Tone menu so you can switch the beep OFF

1. Enter Car Settings app

2. Go to the bottom right tab (the one with the screwdriver) ckick it and enter 3368

3. go to the AMP Enable option and turn it OFF

4. go to the EQ menu (second bottom tab from right to left) from the Car Settings and now you have Keypad Tone option and you can turn it off.

It's been talked before, If you want your unit to run smoothly, you MUST do the following :

1. backup,

2. wipe the unit,

3. flash new firmware

4. wipe again

5. put everything back

If you mean to take it off the power... no, there is no need.
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
I'm referring to a soft reset. I've done them many times on joying 4.4, 5.1, and some versions of 6.0. When you pull down the top toolbar there is the soft reset button. It worked fine on the may 12 update. When it's been on for many days and starts to get sluggish it's nice to clear things out with soft reset.
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
One more thing to check. Do your sdcards have any errors?

I had very poor performance on the 5/25 release. Even when I rolled back to the 5/8 release the unit was still very choppy and slow responding.

The root cause was corruption on one of the sdcards. Somehow during the upgrade to the 5/25 rom, a core file directory was created with invalid file names. Once I reformatted both my sdcards on a PC, the unit was working fine.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I always take everything out (cards, sims, usb sticks) and keep the bare minimum, the usb stick with the firmware that it's about to be flashed.

I learned it the hard way in the past along with the :always charge your phone to full because you will never know when a flashing can go wrong".... not the case here but...
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
I tried the method above with resetting, install update, reset and it's running much better. Thanks. I'll start doing that from now on.

Hello,

why UI #3 does not work anymore when i install Google application? :(

Same bad result with latest firmware (5/25).
[Android Head-Units] tuuza:
It outputs the same paths not found. I rooted my android 5 version but it went smooth.

Just came to my mind and Im not at my car but is it really dependant that it gets unzipped into a folder named the same as the zip, here I have jus unzipped the conte t to rootjoy folder.

Edit. Apparently not, same output.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
It can't find the adb.exe.

If you download the complete zip and unpack the complete zip, the the copy_install.bat script expects adb.exe to be in the ..\win-adb folder.

If you change "things" by copying out parts of the zip, make sure you also change the path to adb.

I will change it though. I will make a release zip only for the supersu install (and I still need to update the SuperSU.apk. That's not very important as it will be done automatically after install as well, but it should be "clean and correct").

[Android Head-Units] tuuza:
Yes I got it working and installed viper also. Now the problem is the radio mod. It copied the files and removed my radio app. Is re flashing the only way to get it back?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I haven't used that mod but most likely you have the original file in the same folder but it's renamed (.old extension at the end)... check with "Root Explorer" app the folder that contains the radio app and tell me what files are in there.

You need to delete or rename the file that has the apk extension (add the ".new" extension to the existing apk extensin) and rename the original file by deleting the ".old" extension.

If you deleted the original radio app (bad move) you need to unpack the "Allapp.pkg" (file is on the firmware) copy the radio app to a stick and paste it in it's proper folder in the HU and give it the proper permissions, restart and it should work.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
No. Simply copy the radio.app out of the Allapp.pkg or download from here: http://mirrors.gtxlabs.com/joying/1_Firmware/

Copy that radio app back to your unit.

Recently I installed the update on May 25, but I'm having a problem, when I turn off the car the HU is turning off instead of being in standby mode.

I looked at the settings and it's set to standby, so is this a bug?

Every time I start the car the other day, the head unit starts from scratch, showing the boot screen....

That did not happen in the May 12 update.

Is there anything I can do to solve this?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
This unit has some kind of power monitoring, if an process or an app hangs the unit, draining more power then it should while it's in sleep mode it shuts down the unit in order to protect the car battery from draining it completely.

Most of the people that upgraded the unit without wipeing the data had various problems so updating this unit is not an option, no matter the firmware or version number.

For trouble free, smooth operation you MUST do the following:

1. backup data

2. take out all the microsd cards, usb sticks and check them all for errors (some users had problems with data corruption on the cards that they kept in while updating)

3. wipe the unit / reset the unit to defaults

4. flash the new firmware (again)

5. wipe it again

6. test the sleep function (to see if the unit without any additional software installed behaves ok)

7. put everything back / reconfigure

8. test the sleep function again (to see if the unit is still ok after all that you installed or moded)

9. if it worked and you are happy click the "Thanks!" button

This is not an absolute guarantee that will solve your problem but at least it is a fresh start for the HU and you can safely say that if it still behaves badly it sure isn't it a software problem and might be hardware.

I still believe that it's software.

Good luck !
[Android Head-Units] gustden:
I suggest that you check your sdcards for errors. If there are errors on the sdcard the unit will reboot instead of standby. I had the same issue after the May 25 upgrade.
[Android Head-Units] TransAmMan:
100% works. I was having lots of strange problems after the may 25 update. Mine would completely reinstall the update every time I rebooted and was really sluggish.

[Android Head-Units] biggy238:
I have a couple of questions, and your responses will help me decide what to do.

How do I tell what SW revision I am running? (so noob, but I can't find it?)

I ran a car launcher, and couldnt get back to UI3. The unit rebooted, wiped user partition (in Chinese) rebooted again, and when it started, all I had was the radio and no launcher. It dawned on me that I could hit the floating button and set UI2, which works.

The downside: each time it shuts down, it fails to start, then wipes user and reboots.

Viscous cycle.
