Thanks Oswald, but I actually spent a couple of time looking for the info I need in Google, and I indeed look into my car manual. I already had found the info you point out. I know I have to pull fuse #19, however, which fuse is Fuse#19? if you look to the image I attached on my previous post, there is no indication of fuse numbers on my fuse box! Thanks in advance!;)
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
I watched this video (attention to 1:45 mins), and I'm nearly convinced #19 is the one I marked on your picture.
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Many Thanks once again for your quick reply. I'm also pretty sure that's the fuse in question (I discovered that video as well and even paused it many many times trying to read the fuse numbers on the cover, which by the way my cover doesn't have...). However as you can see on my picture, I don't have that fuse.... isn't that strange?? :eek:

probably the easiest way to reboot my head unit is to disconnect the (-) battery terminal.... Thanks any way for your time! :good:
[Android General] Ludeape:
Anyone know another solution to get casting/mirroring working on these units without google play services installed?

Thanks
[Android General] apache07x:
[MENTION=6801133]Ludeape[/MENTION] what are you trying to achieve? Watch downloaded movies or something of that nature?

Let me know and I'll be happy to help you out if I'm able to and it's not above my skills. I'm watching live TV on mine.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
If you install the Play Store from HH app, you can then start the Play Store and get any app you want available there. You can uninstall the Play Store, if you want, once you got the app you need (again, from HH app).
[Android General] alancauchi:
Certain apps need Google Play services and if you install it in this HU all apps you install and all unit GUI will freeze
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Correct, some apps need Google Play store, unless you have an unofficial work around which works for the app.

But, GUI will not freeze, but will reduce in responsiveness (in other words: lag), due to the weak system specs of the Head Unit (Nvidia Tegra 3 T30L @ 900MHz and 1GB of RAM), mixed with Android Jelly Bean which, back then Android was very resource hungry and needed desperate optimizations.
[Android General] apache07x:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] is it possible to make HH not only write to the usb but also install Apps to the USB?

I ask because I only have a few things installed and I'm already about out of room on the HU.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Hi apache.. thanks for the reply

I have Live TV and all that stuff on mine also.. what i am trying to do is have a tablet in the back seat that i can mirror on the CRV head unit also.. so the same content/movie is playing on both screens at the same time.

There seems to be a few Google Casting "Receiver" apps out there but they all seem to require google play services.
[Android General] apache07x:
Okay what are you using for live TV? Emby, Plex etc? Or just an app with a link stuck in it like iptv extreme?
[Android General] alancauchi:
On mine everything freezed, even switching to reverse camera.

So is it a feasible solution to upgrade our HU to higher Android version for this Google services problem? Maybe [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] can find a way around this upgrade for us. I'll definetly pay for getting this upgrade.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
I am not an Android developer, but upgrading Android is now complicated... because Android is not like Windows or OSX.

But from what I know (maybe someone can correct me on this), when Google releases a new version of Android, manufactures takes Android, and essentially re worked it for the hardware of the device they make with the firmware and drivers for the device (as those are part of the OS, embedded essentially and not apart like on Windows), then they need to rework the custom layout/interface that they do, pass through a lengthy validation, and then release it. This is why updates on Android is a big issue, and why many/most phones/tablets are left out from continuous and proper support (and not to mention that phone manufacture don't have the data centers to release updates, and ask mobile carriers to handle the load, and hence why you have carrier block updates, as they don't value it is worth their infrastructure, or think it is time for you to update your device). Google is not interested, at the moment of changing this, as doing such will cost performance (as you are adding layers to the system), not to mention complication and open doors to be able to support an infinite combination of hardware configurations (like on Windows). In other words, a they'll open a huge can of worms to themselves.

So, that means you need an active Android community here to work on this, and make sure all car features are still working, and everything is the most reliable as possible. And all this for a MAYBE be faster. MAYBE.

im just using Xfinity stream app since i have a comcast account already..
[Android General] apache07x:
Oh I see. Yeah I'm not sure on that one. That does make it more difficult.
[Android General] LLStarks:
I'm going to try what's left of CheapCast (both 0.3.x and 0.4.6 alpha) later today. I doubt that code still works with current casting protocols.

I still stand by CastReceiver, but the methods to preserve your purchase without Play Services are really overkill and cannot be discussed on XDA.

Haven't been able to get AllCast Receiver or All Screen Receiver working yet.

I'm sure casting files is a lot easier, but pure mirroring has proved challenging.
[Android General] Ludeape:
I tried airstream also with no luck. Same thing as cast receiver.. it open then closed almost immediately.

[Android General] ElusiveJones:
How are you guys uninstalling play services? I can only unistall updates /force stop, etc. It always comes back when I reboot. Are you just using a file explorer and manually deleting the folders? Couldn't that potentially cause issues?
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Under HH app, if go under "Install app online" (or something like that. Sorry going by memory), you'll have an app that is called "Google PlayStore uninstaller" (or something along those lines), install the uninstaller, and it will uninstall it right away. It won't show as an app to run.
[Android General] LLStarks:
You have to uninstall updates AND run the uninstaller.
[Android General] inningsdefeat500:
Anyone using Playstore and Youtube? I got play services installed but the store tkes long time to load
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
Read the last few pages. Play services slow you down.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Hi apache,

Is your google play version same as what codeage posted?

If yours is truly running better please share!
[Android General] apache07x:
Well that depends on your definition of better. Am I noticing my system slow down with it no but I also can't have a keyboard other than the factory keyboard cuz they all crash with it that I've tried so far. But from the sign into it yalp does work with it and the Google services code H provided seems to work with it. But like I said no keyboard I found works with it yet. But if you want I'll gladly post it and maybe you can try some keyboards we can figure out a keyboard to the work with it between the two of us.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Well with the fake park setting in HH now i dont see a need for anything other than stock keyboard really.

Why do you need another keyboard?
[Android General] LLStarks:
At this point, we really need to figure out exactly what kind of calls it's spamming to cause that kind of slowdown.

I wonder if Google Services Framework 4.1.2. (not Play Services) will help us as some kind of missing piece. I noticed that it added backup options in Backup/Restore and location options in the Google account settings (after you install Google Account Manager and add your account). Need to see how it mixes with Play Services.

Or we pursue signature spoofing for an alternative Play Services like microg as I've mentioned before. When installed, at idle or when failing to connect to Google, the apps consumed almost no CPU. If it's that lightweight when it actually works, we may have something interesting.
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Hi guys,

just to keep you on the loop, I had a few problems the other day after installing Google Play Services. My HUD was on a continuous loop trying to finish the installation and it didn't stop even after leaving the car switched off during all night. The only way I could resurrect the HUD was by removing the (-) connector from the battery and using CODAGE script to remove Google Play Services and Honda Hack from my HUD. Then I had to install Honda Hack again and it is now working as it should.

This post is for anyone that might have issues installing (or removing) Google Play Services, just use the script above and you are good to start all over again.

Enjoy your Honda Hack!!! :)
[Android General] apache07x:
[MENTION=6801133]Ludeape[/MENTION] fake park doesn't work on mine.
[Android General] Ludeape:
oh ok didnt know that..

So is there any reason your not sharing your version information for the play services your using?
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
Any thoughts off the top of your head on how to cast video files? It would be beneficial to me, as removing my USB to transfer files to it from my desktop makes Spotify revert to internal storage on HU and not recognize the Playlists I've downloaded to my USB. I have the folder backed up, but still it's an extra 5-10 minutes of transferring files every time I do it and it gets old fast. Would be nice to just put video files on my phones sd card and cast it to an app on the HU
[Android General] apache07x:
Other than I don't want to be responsible for bricking someone's head unit no. It's not something codeage has looked at or said was okay. I'm just stupid like that and would have bought another unit if I'd of messed mine up. It's version 3.2.25 but try at your own risk I'm not responsible for it damaging or bricking anyone's head unit. FYI I uninstalled it from mine and see no difference. Yalp and chrome still work fine and the fake brake deal, or any keyboard, does not still. Even after uninstalling HH and reinstalling. So there's other issues with the Ridgeline version or my Ridgeline one.
[Android General] Ludeape:
thanks for sharing your input! appreciate it :)

Good Share!!

Wow, this is amazing!

"You wouldn't run Doom in a car..."

Yes I would.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/EqZz11pxfVhMXAAB9

Isn't that the version that Honda Hack installs before it gets unpreventably updated in the background? Even when I've uninstalled the update in the past, performance is still not great.
[Android General] apache07x:
I do not know. I have a Ridgeline and codeage hasn't updated it for the play store or play services yet I was just playing around trying to figure out what would work with my system
[Android General] Ludeape:
lol that is awesome.. brings back memories.. which version did you install? please send link! Would be cool to get Duke Nukem 3d also :)

I wish i had an HDMI port in my CRV.. look what this guy did with his Honda Fit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DSYr4ehi7w
[Android General] LLStarks:
The "Original Doom" port by Eltechs. I think it was pulled from the Play Store for obvious reasons.

There was a guy who hoaxed doing this with his Porsche a while ago and it pissed me off. I couldn't find anyone who had done it for real and on actual hardware as opposed to just display output.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRMpNA86e8Q
[Android General] Ludeape:
you try to use a usb gamepad with doom?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Not yet, but I will now lol.
[Android General] Ludeape:
I tried a gamepad and the left stick works great for movement but none of the buttons work for fire or open button.

If we could remap the keys it would be perfect.
[Android General] Ludeape:
I installed a 3do emulator..and it works 100% with a gamepad..but performance is just OK..not great
[Android General] LLStarks:
Which emulator? On paper, the headunit should make for a better Retroarch box than an older Pi. I recall someone mentioning the OpenGL support being meh, but if you're not tapping into it, everything is being put onto the already stressed CPU half.

Button remapping can be done with apps or within Retroarch.

[Android General] LLStarks:
Is 4.7.8 a new build?
[Android General] panchox:
Didn't notice any change besides there's no fast response option in the steering wheel menu, no changelog either.

But, with that build, I have been in the service menu at least 3 times, I had to wait like 2 minutes each time and another time it suddenly rebooted while driving, didn't do anything, also when this happen, custom Widgets like Spotify dissapear and HondaHack loses the registration key and config.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Aren't widgets dangerous to use?
[Android General] panchox:
I have been using the Spotify widget to emulate the original Audio widget in the alternative home screen.

[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] any changelog for 4.7.8?
[Android General] Ludeape:
widgets never worked reliably for me.. although i havent tried them in some time..
[Android General] panchox:
I have been using that widget for around 4 months with no problems until this last reboot into recovery.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Confirming. It's not a stable build. Bootlooped a bit while driving and it was not safe. It eventually boots, but yes, you lose your registration. I guess the device ID changes.

I've reverted to 4.6.3 but I guess we'll have to email codeage our new IDs to get new keys if there's no easy fix.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Oh so this release was on the test page?
[Android General] LLStarks:
4.7.8 was offered through the updater.

Reinstalled 4.6.3 from apk.
[Android General] riccardone1:
no problem for me with version 4.7.8
[Android General] jonlow:
Hi. How do I revert to the previous stable version. I don’t have the old apk with me :(

The new version turns off the screen when nothing goes on. And then hang. It’s not quite stable yet.
[Android General] Ludeape:
I hope codeage is monitoring this thread and pulls this version off..
[Android General] panchox:
Did you use the APK from Github or another?, if it's possible send us the link.
[Android General] riccardone1:
you must first uninstall the test version and install the new version

[MENTION=6358862]panchox[/MENTION] [MENTION=4670039]LLStarks[/MENTION] @

This behavior is by design, not a bug.

Started from version 4.7.8, if you assigned a customized function for a steering wheel key, the original function of the key will be disabled.

Because the hangup key has been added as a customized key for "free memory" automatically, the original function is disabled. If people try to use the hangup function and press the key continuously, the emergency reboot function may be triggered: If you press the hangup key for five times in five seconds, a reboot window will pop up and the system will reboot in recovery mode automatically after 15 seconds. You can cancel it by press the handup key again.

To solve this problem, you can remove the customized key #11 from the list in Honda Hack.
[Android General] alancauchi:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] what about the google play services issue, do you have any updates, please? Will this version solve the issue on our HUs?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Thanks. How do I re-apply my registration? Key is invalid.
[Android General] panchox:
What about the people who use the hangup key with the integrated menus in the dashboard, like hang call and back actions?

Is there a changelog?, it's a test version?.
[Android General] Ludeape:
ok, so if i have not messed with any customize key remapping, then i shouldn't have any of these reboot issues of 4.7.8? Its not clear to me.

And does the hangup key automatically perform the clear memory function once i load 4.7.8? Or i still have to set customized keys for this hangup key functionality?

and as others are wondering.. any progress on google play issues?

thanks!

2016 Honda Pilot

Hi, I have a 2016 Honda Pilot. I purchased the PRO version and downloaded the easy install. When I open the install and get to the page that explains all the items that will be modify with this install and select next for each item the actual "install" button does not light up and allow me to select install. Can anyone help me with this?
[Android General] dreadlk:
The new release now has an option to allow native apps to run on start up.

The previous version over road the native Honda start up option and you could only boot into Apps installed with HH.

My ownly problem is the Honda audio player insist on bringing up the device menu!

So I still have to select my USB thumb drive again even though it is actually playing the last song before I shut off the engine.

I know it’s minor but not having to mess with the screen each time I started up was great.

I Hope Codeage will fix the issue.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Interesting..so can you set google play to not start on startup?

Maybe that would help performance.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

So is 4.7.8 safe now if your not remapping any keys?

Early reports were its not a stable build.

Thanks
[Android General] Quicksand Jesus:
Since we have rooted head units, is there a way to simply mirror your entire android screen instead of the locked down AA interface? I would like to refrain from rooting my phone for reporting reasons at my job. I know with other head unites this is possible. I'm in for any suggestions.

There still does not seem to be a compatible casting receiver solution yet for this older android non Google play services unit.

I am eagerly waiting for it myself as well.

android 4.0.4

please help me.

can we use this method for unit that have android 4.0.4 (hr-v 2016 EU)
[Android General] LLStarks:
The only workable solutions are patching CastReceiver from inside the car (unshareable for both technical and TOS reasons) or using something laggy and awful like Teamviewer.

Everything else requires a an extra device or casting individual media.

Btw, I'm working on a modern home screen setup for my own uses. Google Now Launcher (Now feed doesn't work?) and Nova work. Google Wallpapers for daily wallpapers too. Also found a patched version of Nova companion by Nikhil on XDA (below). As a bonus, I'll try to make icons for DaLauncher, the default launcher, or at least icons for home screen activities (e.g. Android Auto and audio). I'll share pics eventually and if I'm satisfied with the result.

Honda Hack 4.8.1 is also out. No changes observed yet.

That's the version allows apk installations, right? You should be able to install apps using something similar to this. You'll have a much more limited app choice and compatibility than even our head units though.

With respect to Honda Hack and rooting, no. Only 4.2.2 and above are supported by the app. 4.0.4 uses SDK version 15.

sdkInfo:
minSdkVersion: '17'
targetSdkVersion: '17'
[Android General] Ludeape:
Thanks LLStarks,

So you would consider 4.8 1 stable?
[Android General] tomtom567:
android upgrade

thank you for your interest.

so, can i upgrade android os for my unit? (4.0.4>upper version like 4.2.2)
[Android General] LLStarks:
Upgrading is not possible.

Haven't tested long enough. I haven't had any issues since the reboot and key mapping behavior was made clear to me, but even when I was running 4.7.8, I don't ever recall triggering a reboot accidentally.
[Android General] panchox:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]

Installed 4.8.1, didn't notice any change between 4.7.8 and this version.

My problem with latest versions remains.

If I assign Key #11 (Hang/Back) I'm no longer able to go back when using the Phone menu in the dashboard and I can't hang a call anymore, I don't know if those situations could be detected or not, but I would like to go back to the old behaviour since I use that key too much, also it's my Play/Pause and holding it it's the maps app.

Don't block the original function, an ON/OFF switch will do it.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Holy crap. This came out great for a quick home screen attempt.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8S1GSTTZp2YzUvRL6

I should use a darker wallpaper set. Google bar is useless. Swipe up and app drawer button both set.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Ok finally got trial of castreceiver working..thanks LLStarks!

My problem was with the tablet i was using. It would just cast a black screen..maybe the tablet is just not compatible?
[Android General] panchox:
Android Auto?, also, what is the S icon on top?.
[Android General] LLStarks:
The S is the compass. Android Auto icon is just the normal Smartphone Connection button activity with an icon from the web.
[Android General] Ludeape:
How do you get to the car settings options in that homescreen then?
[Android General] LLStarks:
I'd map the activity that launches it as a home screen icon. At the moment, I have the stock launcher as an icon.
[Android General] Ludeape:
That's cool, how is the performance?
[Android General] Ludeape:
what about losing the registration id info? what was that issue all about exactly?
[Android General] panchox:
When the system reboots into recovery done with the method codeage told us, HondaHack loses all the settings, including the registration code, maybe it was intended to reset HH settings if it fails to revert to default, also, custom widgets dissapear, everything else remains the same.

However, Device ID remains the same, you can use the same registration code.

Besides that, there's my problem, setting a custom action for the physical buttons override them, he said it was intended, but the only decent button is the Hang/Back and I use it constantly.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Performance with Nova is good.

My registration code does not work. I'll reach out to codeage.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Have you tried widgets with nova?

Would love to have a weather forecast widget working on the home screen.
