Music and TunerView

So, I have Honda Hack installed, and was able to everything unlocked accordingly. My two goals for doing this are:

1) To install a third-party music player (ideally PowerAmp, but I'm open to others), and keep my whole music collection available via USB drive.

2) To install TunerView directly on the head unit so that I can display gauges from my KTuner without having to have the V2 in the car.

I tried using Pulsar for my music, and though it could see the albums and such, no songs would play. My whole collection for my car is in OGG Vorbis format (transcoded from FLAC files). Pulsar was quite slow, and since it didn't work, I uninstalled it. Any ideas about accomplishing either of these goals?

Cheers,

Nathan Zachary

I finally found a version of mxplayer which can play well on the head unit. It is version 1.7.20. Now, I'm looking for good MP3 player. Anyone who can advise good MP3 player, please do inform. TQ :)
[Android General] nathanzachary:
So, yes, PowerAmp works when the APK is downloaded from their official site: http://powerampapp.com/download-poweramp/

That's the 14-day trial, but it plays my OGG collection from USB (and caches everything so it starts up quickly)

I've emailed the developer to see about the license. I have already purchased it from the Play Store, but am willing to pay the $3.99 again to get a license directly from their site so that I can apply it on the 2017 Civic head unit.

Jury is still out on TunerView, but I'm going to give it a try at some point.
[Android General] emy_77:
Hi All :)

Let's list apps that you use & the version which run well on your head unit:

Video player: Mx player, ver 1.7.20

MP3 player: Mortplayer, ver 1.2.5 (has folder view which I need)

GPS: Waze & Sygic

YouTube: Newpipe ver 0.9.8 & Youtube
[Android General] shalafix:
good job everyone,

[MENTION=348749]emy_77[/MENTION] can you give us a link where I can safely download Mx player, ver 1.7.20?

I tried to find it, but there were some strange websites only with results, and I'm afraid of viruses :)

thanks

[Android General] nathanzachary:
In order for me to apply the full version unlocker for PowerAmp, I had to purchase another license from their website: http://powerampapp.com/buy-poweramp/ (using the "Buy Now, Directly" link).

Then, I installed the APK for the right version of Google Account Manager for 4.2.2 --> https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...nt-manager-4-2-2-612687-android-apk-download/

I was then able to set up my Google account (without the Play Store or any other services). Thereafter, I could apply my newly-purchased direct license.

It was a bit of a pain, but I now have my music the way that I want it. :)

Wondering if I can ask for a little bit of help. I have a 2017 Honda Accord EX-L with the clarion infotainment system. For whatever reason, I can't get the head unit into ADB mode at all. Perhaps this doesn't work with my Accord? The video of the settings (sorry, it sucks) can be found at: youtu.be VdYwUUVugw8 . Put a slash after the e in be

HELP!

Hi every one! First of all, Thanks to all people here for sharing all these crazy stuff (at least for me that don't know a squat about it and without understanding).

I got my 2018 Civic on December and live in USA (don't know if that makes a difference on the car) so like I said I know a squat about rooting and all that stuff. But my Civic doesn't allow me to do anything, I realized I could connect it to Wifi but also turns to do nothing with that, I thought I was gonna be able to see videos o browse internet (it doesn't even has a freaking browser).

So I'm asking for help about what do I need to do with my car if I want to play videos, Browse the internet and install google maps directly on the display?? C someone Please help me??

BETTER ASK BEFORE DOING SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW

Hi nathanzachary,

Thank u for your response. In the end, I contacted the developer, and he is kind enough to email me the full version apk, and he asked me to buy the full version on the phone to support him. I bought the full version on the phone later. So now, I have the one without the ads as per the picture :)

Honda Accord Hack

Well,

To say I didn't give it a try is an understatement. I spent the better part of the night last night working w/ code, and trying to find out this isn't working.

First off, these forums are amazing. That being said, the search functions stinks. Perhaps it's me, perhaps the site. But end result: read, read and read some more. I found that the root method explained on this post is NOT for our car. The instructions can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-how-to-gain-root-shell-2016-honda-t3487644

Second: I've had 0 luck. I can connect to the system using ADB. It refuses to root giving an error about file sizes found differing from what was found. I was in a pseudo rush last night when I got to this point, so I scrapped it and I will try again shortly and report back.

hey all, i followed the instructions, dev mode, root. honda app that came with it and restarted. after the restart, my wouldnt start. the hu is now blank and the car wont start. power is till going through but when i step on brakes and start ignition, car does not start and lights just go blinking :( can anyone help?
[Android General] Beejay002:
I think you have Battery issue for now. if is all your panel board is blinking. Does the car start or not? For the HU did you enabled the USB debugging(the most and no.1 important thing after you have been a developers mode.. incase you have Blackscreen just like me before)if it is not may be very difficult to fix that... thanks for this Website and Senior member and Expert i fix that issue at my own by reading carefully there instruction and asking them.
[Android General] vitusdoom:
1. Yes I have enabled USB Debugging mode (I already installed root and it was working)

2. the HU starts up a bit and blinks and becomes blank black screen no light.

3. The car does not start. not even turn on properly.

4. panel board is blinking. At first i could see check system, check ..etc.. but now, panels blank but lights on panel blinks.

I am a dev here and spent a lot of time doing android stuff before. But once I moved to the darkside (wife made me :P) I haven't touched any non-apple stuff for couple of years now. Also, this is my first time rooting a hu from my car. So, let me know steps in high level and that would be much appreciated. thanks

also, I will have someone look at it tomorrow see if battery is dead. (but i doubt it. since lights are still ok and etc. ~ will see)
[Android General] freshlysqueezed:
With the accessories on for an extended time to root the headunit, you must have drained the battery. Car battery's voltage is low enough to prevent the car from starting but enough to get the lights on. You will need to jump start or use a portable battery jump starter.

The 2018 accord has a different head unit from the rest. It also has a different button layout. To get the step one you have to hold the power button, home button, and source button. That will take you to the detail & information screen. Then you hold the home button to get you to the first screen. But I can't get past that to get to the second screen that's after the two beeps and a final beep. [IMG="adding pic"]https://goo.gl/images/jX1j97[/IMG]

Hello there !

I got interested in installing apps on my Civic as I just got mine recently but still struggling to get into dev mode..

This is a EU head unit with the followings:

Android: 4.0.4, kernel 3.1.10 (2015)

Software: 09.08C.00.1123

..clicking 7 times on Build Number won't show anything (no password entering proposal), any idea ?

I also tried to rename an app (as suggested in another thread for EU version) into "HondaAppCenter_A1.apk", and no luck so far.. (Install button grayed out)

I checked "install 3rd party app" from Security panel of course..

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks !

Hi! The online HondaHack worked perfectly on my 2017 Civic. No erros whatsoever, and you don't have to worry about having the right USB cables, having to put the USBs on Host or even entering developer mode. Just access the HondaHack website on your car's web-browser and follow the onscreen instructions. It will take around 5 minutes and its done. I already installed a couple of apps and they all worked. just make sure to install a version of the app that is compatible with android 4.2.2. Don't be afraid, just do it! :)

Hi! Sorry, I don't want to sound bad... but i don't know if Codeage wants to make his link public... Also, besides the link Codeage will give you a code (letters and numbers) you need to enter on the site to start the unlocking.

Could you explain how did you choose to get the app name bellow the icon? I cant get that on my HU!

By the way, for Spotify you must use version 5.5.0.652 which is the one I installed and is working perfectly.

I also connect my headunit up to my mobile hotspot so I have internet access on it but Waze won't load up any maps.

On a side note, I was able to install the Yi Dashcam app which lets me view my front dash cam video live on the headunit which is pretty cool.

Finally sat down and rooted & Honda hacked my radio. This thing isnt bad for what the specs are of the radio itself. Everything currently is working nicely.

Music apps: PlayerPro & TuneIn radio, going to try Google play music, not sure if it will work without gaps

Gps: Igo world & sygic

So far things seem to mix OK, couple hiccups here and there but to be expected when there isn't 100% control over what can and can't be done inside the unit. Would be nice to integrate an option in which GPS software is being used so the radio properly mixes audio, but will likely never see that unless something someone managed to unlock the unit.
