[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n.p.:
Fairly generic device running a fairly stock Android 6.0 (it is rooted, though).

Every time it connects to a wireless router, it reports a new mac address (changing the last six digits).

The problem: This device never leaves its home base (it will never connect to an outside router), and I need to forward certain WAN ports from the router to this device. Of course, the router (a brand new Huawei) can only forward by mac address, not by IP address. so each new connection basically requires logging into the router and manually updating its configuration (a time consuming and error-prone process). I could live with a different mac address on each boot (since the device is seldom rebooted), but one with each wifi connection is just too much.

I understand the benefits of random mac addresses for devices that connect to a number of access points, but the implementation (with no user control) feels very Apple like ("We know what's best for you. You have to do it our way, and don't get any choice in the matter").

Is there some way of getting a static mac address when I want one (which for this device, is always)?

It is not possible for now

I tried it yesterday several times and the first thing you

should know is that if you need the update files it has to have the

letters mv pf and it must be call FULL OTA mv pf

So just dont waste your time with files with no mv pf

And you can look it yourself what will happen in the link below

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72177023&postcount=30

The easy way is to downlaod the latest B381

Put it on the MicroSD card

Then you should DIAL the code

And then start the update manually...

For more info see this link below

Read that hole page 5 or evan some pages before it is not much to read

If more questions ask

But do first your homework with reading and more reading or you will end up just like

me wasting time to get fails or error messages

Some things are just important to make and if they are not the exact same way it

will end with fail or error

so who are the best units out there.

something that works with minimum work to make it "nice" or functional.

I do not mind some tinkering with software, but do not want to root, or do any sort of hardware mods.

lets start with money no object. as it needs to be

responsive to the touch, and fast to react

quick to boot,

reliable future proof,

sat nav (happy with google maps, or here maps)

DAB

High Res Screen

nice to have

TV built in? not a must but why not.

USB, or Aux input (could do with audio streaming alone?)

reverse camera

Wifi, or means to transfer without using data from my phone

btw, I have VW touran 2005, in case it makes a difference in fitting etc

I've bought a XRROSS unit. I haven't plugged it in as I need to find a working interface to retain wheel control buttons and able to start the amp.

I have an outlander 2007 with Rockford Fosgate system.
[Android Head-Units] as_estsn:
I have been using an Erisin Android 4.2 model for the last few years in my BMW X5, and found it decent but not great. Underneath the Erisin is one of the many, many Hui Fei units that get sold under a bunch of different badges and used one of the Rockchip CPUs that are found in the majority of these units. In my case it was the RK3066.

Overall impressions - I loved the convenience of having a full android tablet instead of the stupid stereo interface originally on my car, but as time went on I found I used it less and less and tended to just use my phone. The interface on the unit was not great as there were a number of apps (particularly their settings) where the controls were outside the edges of the screen and therefore unreachable. This seemed to be in large part a problem with the low-res (800x480) screen and the fact that it is always in landscape mode (obviously). I've recently tried out some of the 3rd party roms found here on XDA which are noticeably better than the stock rom that came with it.

The unit started having problems after about 3 years as the bottom half and the top half inch (1cm) of the touchscreen no longer respond to touch. This has rendered the unit basically useless.

I'm now in the market for a replacement and I would be interested to hear impressions and complaints from anyone that has an Android 5 or 6 unit.
[Android Head-Units] mmmalas:
right so my turn to provide information I collected...

I had a chat with a friend who owns car head units \ bluetooth etc fitting company, circa about 6 cars and more private contractors to fit through out the UK, his opinion is

"chinese head units are rabbish, stay away from them and buy decent manufacturer units like ken wood pioneer etc.

for each 10 units of those cheaper ones, (he admits that it have much more functionality for the price). about 6 have issue.

its not well thought of, and different problems comes up, starting with many software issues, to hardware combination as those cheaper companies hardware is whatever cheapest, and very little thought about segmenting

thier own producs, which causes issues with firmware updates later. and make it hardware to control quality.

provided an example, of heating up units, or battery just dies, or the unit just bricks"

so as you see from earlier he is totally against it, however I would presume if you are reading this, then you are willing to open your own dash and debugging issues yourself, and will to throw away hardware if it bricks etc.

long life time is not something you always expect, its a luck of the draw.

he goes further and says:

"even good company, if you want navigation, then you need to go top of the range £1000+, as cheaper units are not great at that"

but then he is used to all the top stuff, so he might say that.

however the think I agree with him most on:

"get something that mirror your phone, this way you can get cheaper units, and you rely on your phone which is smart and feature rich to start with, even the £200 ones that mirror your phone is good enough"

now, my thoughts are, there are other things (I forgot to ask him) about viewing angle, what sort of resolution will look good enough etc. (I agree with the guy above about the resolution)
[Android Head-Units] as_estsn:
Oh, mmmalas comment does remind me: If you are driving a BMW X5, 5 series, or any other model of car where the stereo panel curves upward into the dashboard, the Chinese Android units are going to be a problem. Even though the units I've looked at fit beautifully into the panel space, and have perfectly fitted curved fascia, the screen ends up pointing at an angle that makes it unreadable in sunlight. The units that have the screen standing up at a tangent from the curve of the case might be better, although I do think they look somewhat awkward.

Like this unit for example: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/9-BMW-X5-E39...ash=item360f37eb54:g:jF4AAOSwol5Y2hSi&vxp=mtr
[Android Head-Units] mmmalas:
the pioneer or maybe the kenwood ones, allow you to adjust the angle on the unit (motorised).

I presume those android units are mainly TN panels, rather than IPS. which makes the viewing angles worse.

it would be nice if my son in the middle of back seat can watch a movie. but I am unsure if the screens are that good. will be nice to know

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] kn1g:
Hey,

because I got confused and a friend bought the wrong cases and screen protectors I want to highlight the differences between the "Redmi Note 4" and the "Redmi Note 4 Global Version". The latter one is more similar to the "Redmi 4X". The global version also is always the snapdragon version (sd). But I think there are also sd version which are NOT global versions. But please help me to clarify the differences. I am German and I have the "Redmi Note 4 Global Version" with Band 20.

The top has a different design and the back has the camera and flash on slightly different positions. But the dimensions itself are the same

The attached image shows the the main differences you need to take into account when buying accessories for your Redmi Note 4.

Also important. Keep in mind that the display is a 2.5D display (http://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-a-2-5d-screen-611258/) thus, the tempered glass often does not fit well!

I want to see good accessories you are using for your REDMI NOTE 4 GLOBAL VERSIONS. Please post it with pics :highfive:

Hi Folks !

I just released my new game, Cosmonaut.

Cosmonaut is a slow paced space adventure/survival game.

Basically, you move the character with the help of a jet pack and a spacesuit in a zero-gravity environment.

To reach the end of each level you need to be careful of your oxygen and fuel consumption.

Here is the game description:

After crossing the asteroid barrier, your spaceship is damaged.

No more oxygen!

No more artificial gravity!

In order to survive you must reach the survival capsule using your space suit and your jetpack.

Cosmonaut counts 24 levels.

For each level, the amount of oxygen and the amount of fuel are limited.

Use your jet pack wisely!

You can see the trailer on Youtube

Feel free to give me comments and suggestion.

Thank you !

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanarchyy:
Alright, let me preface this with a few things... I am FAR from new to android, rooting, linux, exploits, or almost anything embedded (UART, JTAG, SPI, I2C, etc...). I am by no means a guru though...

I am attempting to root this device; it is an unlocked LG G4 US Cellular branded, MM 6.0 lgus991 22a rollback 2, and I am so far at a total impasse... I'll explain my situation.

No fastboot.

Bootloader is locked, and I cannot unlock it. If I try and check "Enable oem unlock" it unchecks itself, and reading through the dmesg it references a file stating two errors; one for lack of permissions, and another for no file(same filename though; likely trying to create the file, being denied, then trying to edit a non-existing file). I forget the exact file name but I have the name of it saved somewhere(persis1234 or something like that, I just don't remember the exact path, I can post it later if it makes a difference).

I have had minor success with the dirtycow exploit, but mostly just replacing files and nothing getting anywhere, or the phone quickly reboots if I replace certain system files(ifconfig, toybox, toolbox, etc...) When it works,it says I have root, but it is VERY limited due to selinux, and the context. Also unable to get a root shell open.

Selinux is protected and I haven't been able to find a way to make it permissive as of yet. Past attempts of editing the recovery or init have resulted in "secure boot error 1003"; phone reboots, and then still stock...

If I grenade this thing, I will only slightly give a f**k. I am not above pulling this thing apart and trying to JTAG my way in if I need to, as it is not my only device. Which seems to me to be the only way at the moment aside from finding another kernel exploit like dirtycow or rowhammer... Unless someone else has another idea, but for now I am going to pursue the JTAG route.

Would something that I already own like a buspirate, RPI, or Arduino Mega, be enough or would I need something like a busblaster? I just don't want to spend more than I need to. I'd rather spend the money on a new phone than something like a medusa pro or something like that.

Any help is appreciated :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KriegerBread:
Why not to flash TOT and then proceed with unlock through lg unlock tool? Maybe it fix the fastboot issue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanarchyy:
I am new to LG devices so perhaps this is a bit different(had mostly Samsung or HTC). But from what I can find, that won't help unless it's pre-rooted or my bootloader is unlocked. And I am unable to find a pre-rooted TOT. Unless I am just completely missing something here...

I am not trying to go to stock, the device is already stock and functions mostly alright(aside from the inability to add a Verizon APN, so I'm stuck with 3g). But also attempting to have a bit of a failsafe if I wanton flash something I shouldn't have and still have a recovery option. Which is why I brought up the JTAG option, as I'm sure I would use it in more than just this device.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElfinJNoty:
Not sure why you are attempting to reinvent the wheel with a device that has been out for 2 years....

LG devices are very different from Samsung and HTC. You should read up on the LGUP tool to flash .kdz and .tot file to put the device as close to stock as possible before any further attempts.

Could also look at entering hidden menu options via the dialer in order to select/modify apn settings.

TWRPinFish can be found here in the development section. Will likely be your only option if you cannot fully unlock the bootloader.

Since the Tmo and ATT/international versions allowed bootloader unlock, other variants didn't see as much support. Was easy for us... Sorry to say(for you).

Wish ya the best of luck though

Just a quick remark could jtag be used in such a way to make the boolloader thinks it is something else and maybe trick it in to doing something?????
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanarchyy:
I don't really see this as reinventing the wheel as right now there is no root for this device, I am looking for a way to do it though. Which is why I was asking about JTAG/eMMc programming as a viable option to do this, especially if I may have a few borked flash attempts, it would be a nice fail-safe.

Most dialer codes do not work, and the few that do, pop up a menu saying "This program does not work on your phone"; even though I can see some info behind the toast, I cannot scroll and as soon as I click ok, it closes.

TWRPinFIsH is a no-go, need to be rooted and be able to disable SELinux, neither of which I can do.
