Hello Friends,

As a normal user I've done many experiments with this great system, I will write something about it soon, as I have lot of positive conclusions that would be helpful for new users.

Now, I would like to ask something I didn't try yet. In the Honda Unit there are two storage units, one with about 1.7GB free or so and another one with much more, which includes garmin files. I have two questions as follows:

1 - Can we use the storage units containing the garmin files for storing files for other apps installed by Honda Hack, without generating problems to the garmin system (I would not delete anything installed by default of course)?

2 - Would it be possible to add some custom POIs to that gps system I have (they alert you when you are close to dangerous zones in Buenos Aires city Link)?

3 - Can those maps be updated by any mean with Honda Hack?

Points 2 and 3 does not belong for this thread I believe, but I don't know if any interaction can exist between Honda Hack and the default GPS system.

If possible let me know!

Thank you!!!

Hi! What is that image? I cannot identify what is it in the video.

Regards.
[Android General] darky22:
From what i could understand, it is mirroring the image on the reverse cam to the dash. Question is "HOW ?"

I will try it, wish me luck :)
[Android General] Ludeape:
Other than just being cool that it's possible to do that, I don't understand why I would need or want the console to mirror the display.. what is the point of that exactly?
[Android General] Zp3dd4:
I saw a couple people ask before, but couldn’t get a good answer. Is it possible to enable turn by turn navigation in the instrument cluster with hondahack for Android auto or CarPlay usage? I have 19 Crv EX in Canada and turn by turn doesn’t show up in the instrument cluster option at all.
[Android General] Lenster45:
Sorry, but I am not finding that option in the Navigations menu of Honda Hack

When doing the online rooting; I receive "ERROR: cannot download dirtycow". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android General] Ludeape:
sorry its voice guidance compatible mode.. looks like you already have it on.. when waze is speaking just raise the volume.
[Android General] c_lega:
Simple automations like:

- Startup volume set to a lower level than (maybe) previous value

- Spotify auto play when I'm driving (my cellphone got connected)

- Waze keep on top when I'm driving (after receiving a call, for example, get back to Waze screen few seconds after)

I have literally just read every single page of this thread. My god....

Anyway, one question, where are we getting / how are we getting the live wallpapers? I'd love one.

The post somewhere in here mentioned cmdroid but I just see static wallpapers there?

Edit: nevermind I see how it works now. It's a apk you install.

One question I do have though is for all of you that enabled the flat DSP and have v4a running, I'd assume you all have crossovers installed for your speakers? The amount of bass the flat DSP sends out to the speakers is way too much for them.

Also, what settings do you use for v4a? I have no idea what's suppose to sound good haha

I have problems with gps on honda cr-v 2018.

Very poor wave, is it due to insulation film?

There is no way to fix it ?
[Android General] Lenster45:
Not working for me. I can hear WAZE very low and when I increase the volume, it does not get louder.
[Android General] codeage:
Have you turned off the “Play from phone speaker“ option in Waze?
[Android General] codeage:
If you want to show live wallpaper while driving, you must turn on the “Fake parking status” option in Honda Hack.
[Android General] Breaultk:
Yea I do have the live wallpapers working fine.

I'm just concerned with the DSP now. With it off the head unit is now doing nothing. Which is great. I'm just concerned that I need to get a crossover for the speakers so I don't blow the midbass.

Is it enough to use a EQ on the head unit to adjust the bass down again, and then just tune the gain on my subwoofer up?
[Android General] Lenster45:
yes that is turned off.

When I start WAZE talking, my music volume goes way down as it should but as I can crank the volume all the way up to the top I can still only barely hear WAZE.
[Android General] enishi1357:
Sometimes the headunit freezes or really slow. having this helps
[Android General] LLStarks:
Is there any way to get the turbo gauge on the CR-V? I've been using Performance Monitor for VAG synced up with Torque data for turbo pressure readings, but I'd like something more built in. I know the turbo Civics, particularly the Si has the menu.
[Android General] codeage:
I think there’s no such data sent to the head unit.
[Android General] Resoluciones:
Unfortunately I didn't find the "daydream" option and I don't know what is it neither. :eek:
[Android General] panchox:
"Protector de pantalla" for us.

Also, Civic 2017 Turbo, it doesn't work, the dashnoard screen turns black when in reverse, but it can show the clock unaligned and sometimes the notification bar, this opens a new way to mirror our main screen, could be useful for navi or custom info.

Build.prop

Hey anyone out there have a copy of the 2018 civic si with navi build.prop if so mind letting me get a copy:good::highfive::good:
[Android General] Resoluciones:
buenísimo gracias panchox.

It works OK, it is interesting. But what is the practical use of this? The "effect" "deactivates" after using it, doesn't it? So if you want to see it again you have to manually put the screen saver again, so I don't get the idea of the practical use of this. Maybe there is something I am missing...

No bites out there for this file lol
[Android General] Tinkerer76:
It's been a good 6 weeks since this was suggested. [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] did you have a chance to try this out as you said you would? I'm nervous to try myself as a [MENTION=4266052]Bulkowski[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4386609]the1dynasty[/MENTION] already had bricking issues. I haven't read any positive success or progress from [MENTION=6801133]Ludeape[/MENTION] [MENTION=4670039]LLStarks[/MENTION] of late either. Has everyone settled in to their daily driver builds? I'd love to see some documentation of current best known information of stable apps and usage procedures. As a new user coming in to a 200 page thread, it's so very daunting but also dangerous not to read up.

Thus far I purchased HH, tried installing Play Services/Store & Maps and it was lagging so bad that I just stopped using my HU altogether for the time being before I could regroup and concentrate my efforts on previous user testing. But after reading a LOT I still don't have a 100% clear determination as to what is reasonable to expect from this hack.
[Android General] LLStarks:
It's too risky without an idiot-proof approach. We don't all have spare headunits at our feet.

Am I settled? Perhaps. But I'm not liking how the "fix headunit errors" option causes an almost irreversible and extremely long hard reboot time where everything will bootloop and the backup camera will freak out for 5 minutes. Done this to myself twice now as a last resort. May have to factory reset again soon.

Not sure how many mulligans I can ask codeage for if my key gets rejected again.

But hey, I'm relatively happy. I've almost perfected my AAGateway setup for wireless Android Auto.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Hey what "fix headunit errors" option are you talking about exactly?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Error fixing > Fix system errors

No idea what it does
[Android General] Tinkerer76:
Have a guide for that?
[Android General] Ludeape:
Thanks for the heads up!

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Don't think codeage will be implementing these build prop settings because it's just to risky with people having different head units.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Just the official one.

It's a lot of trial and error.
[Android General] tom1807:
I recently got finally the online update to v4.8.16 (better late than never). However, the loading time to display the screen when connecting my mobile has increased a lot.

Anyone else face that problem or is it only me?

Didn't change any settings, but I believe my original settings were reset, because suddenly the volume was lowered again when I put my gear in reverse mode.

Any new settings I missed which causes this?

Cheers

How do we run the 2018 honda civic hatchback models?
[Android General] MistaC4:
Any one try flashing .zip files and mods yet? I know theres no recovery but there are other ways to flashing zips, thinking about seeing if we can install dolby atmos and sound mods, probably too risky without a dedicated twrp recovery or something.
[Android General] thanggcar:
honda has changed the password into developer mode. Who knows what a password is? Can you tell me?
[Android General] LLStarks:
For cars with the new (null?) password, developer options is only accessible through a shortcut manager like QuickShortcutMaker and only after you have installed Honda Hack.

If it's locked down with a password that doesn't work, you're not getting into it for free.

I've been looking into seeing where that password is enforced from and maybe extracting it from the filesystem. Wouldn't be surprised if it's in the Settings odex and readable from a decompile. Maybe a weekend project :).
[Android General] MistaC4:
What honda do you have?, I got a 2019 SI and it's the same password as the 2018 type R

[Android General] LLStarks:
Does Honda Hack even work on the new headunit? They're still stuck at the lack of an ADB authorization screen and the browser being hidden even once unlocked.

But for what it's worth, that developer menu code actually works on the 2018 CR-V. I'm shocked. Where did you find that? You're basically saying that anyone that was previously reliant on the web-based root can now self-root with the legacy method and install a free version of Honda Hack. All you'd need is a USB-A to USB-A cable and know how to enable your headunit's USB device mode (which is buried in the thread).

Btw, 4.9.0 beta is now out and it fixes the lingering Waze directions.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Nice...was there a changelog? Any other changes you notice?

Would be great if codeage worked on wireless android auto next.

Thanks
[Android General] Tinkerer76:
The current incarnation of wireless requiring another device that's always plugged in is a messy solution. Unfortunately it's that can of worms or no USB fast-charge+AA.

Where are betas getting posted? The lack of versions/changelogs in the OP is disappointing.
[Android General] LLStarks:
The betas are in the Honda Hack app store.

Adding wireless isn't easy and the approaches vary in usability.

1. The Mazda scene approach: Mod the headunit to add a new Android Auto receiver written from scratch. YMMV with respect to integration. Our stock receiver has all the code in place it needs to be wireless, but the app only calls USB. The smali output when decompiled is very readable and looks like an amazing roadmap for reverse-engineering. Nobody has attempted this.

2. Headunit Reloaded: Easiest approach but poor integration with the steering wheel and audio mixer. Calls go through the stock interface.

3. AAGateway: The most complete solution but takes a lot of trial and error.
[Android General] Ludeape:
is the trial and error for AAGateway due to different phones? or once its working , its good to go, and the same config can be applied to all out head units?

Do you have it working?

thanks
[Android General] LLStarks:
Different masters, different slaves, whether root is granted to the app on each, app settings on each, car headunit behavior, etc. My experience is less is more: Don't grant root and handle hotspot and headunit server toggling manually.

Lots of variables even among the best supported setups and slaves.

For our headunit, my best advice is to clear out any existing Android Auto entries on the car just in case. The car is very picky about when it picks up the slave's USB connection and how it acts after.
[Android General] Ludeape:
it does make me a little nervous updating without seeing a changelog.. especially after hearing about all the issues with play store and the build prop bricking..
[Android General] Ludeape:
New update with Waze shows arrived at destination flag now :) although it's a different flag than what android auto shows.

I also didn't check to see if it clears by itself after..

Will have to check that tomorrow.

Honda Hack locked up my HU.. !!

PLEASE HELP ME

I installed Honda hack a few months ago, and it worked OK for about 2 days.

Then one day, when the HU was running, it locked up.. I did a reset, and now all it does on re-boot, is display the Honda Logo for about 20 seconds, and then goes to a blank screen.

Tried the recovery,sh, but still no joy.

Disconnected battery numerous times, still only Honda Logo and the Blank screen.

I have seen others post about this happening to them, but nobody seems to have a solution. Dealer will not replace it under Warranty, because it is Honda Hacked. Claims Honda will detect this when it is sent back to them, and will not honor any warranty.

There must be a way to Boot from a USB, and clear out whatever is corrupted, and then boot an install USB stick ???

Any help or suggestions would be most welcome... unfortunately HH Author is not being very helpfull .. yes he answers emails, but with no positive suggestions .. and he meant to be the EXPERT !!!

After 6 months, I am loosing patience with this whole Honda Hack HACK !!!!
[Android General] LLStarks:
The headunit can take over 5 minutes to boot sometimes but I have no idea what is causing your issue. You should've just played dumb with Honda if it was fully bricked.

There are no recovery methods beyond the recovery.sh. The software upgrade menu that can be occasionally triggered is mostly useless. There's no leaked firmware to flash or backup/restore methods. People have looked into these things and have come up empty so far. Even with devs having serial access to the headunit: Nothing.

Everything with Honda Hack is at your own risk.
[Android General] Scopesys:
Thanks for that information. I had hoped by now that there were some options for this sort of thing.

Since I have a new unit now installed in the Car, I will put this one aside, hopefully as a spare, and maybe by the the I need it as such, someone will have figured out how to completely re-initialize them.

FYI: What amazed me, and really disappointment me, was when I looked at the current UPDATE USB drive (oem Honda Part), was that the majority of the software was last updated over 10 year ago !! Yes, 10 Years !!!... and most of it that contained any text version info, stated that it was written my Mitsubishi over 10 years ago.

Surprised that after 10 year, nothing significant has LEAKED out, to enable the systems to be more reliably recovered.

When they do fail, and get sent back to Honda/Mitsubishi, to be "repaired" and then offered as Reconditioned units, you can be sure that Mitsubishi, or whoever is repairing them, has the means to reload them.

A lot of security systems in place to prevent any code modification, but what also surprised me was that a lot of the code is highly optimized to load quickly at run-time .. if it were not, I hate to imagine how much slower the system could be !!
[Android General] Ludeape:
I take that back, the flag is the same as Android Auto now it seems, except Android auto it disappears after a few seconds of arrival. With HH it stays until you shut down Waze.
[Android General] MistaC4:
I haven't messed with the honda hack yet. just wanted to disable the android restriction which appears to stick through multiple reboots, I've only seen it disappear once if you try messing with the app screen moving icons around then you have to go back and do it again to get them back, and for the password I found it on the type R forum and gave it a shot and to my luck it worked, will probably wait till honda hack is out of beta, kind of worried about bricking or getting stuck on the system update screen.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Don't wait. You get 4.8.16 stable if you install. The beta is opt-in.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Tested again today on 4.9 beta and can confirm the reached destination flag did not go away once I reached my destination.

smart parking assist

I noticed that outside the U.S. some Hondas have Smart Parking Assist, which actually steers the car into a parking space. Wondering if Honda Hack can get to a menu to turn that on in a U.S. Honda.
[Android General] panchox:
If you press the "i" button in the steering wheel it goes away and it doesn't come back until you select another destination.

[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]

Are you using image detection for the directions or through API/other method?, it would be useful for Sygic too.

Also, directions are off by 10 meters, cluster shows +10mts more than Waze.

Did you find what controls the Flat EQ/DSP?, that would be the cherry in the cake for HH.

My bet would be copy and reproduce what the Syscom freemode sends.

navi on non-navi

So I have been digging a lot in my system files (2018 civic si just bought new this year)and came across an auto-install.sh file looks promising as it used from what it looks like to help install the navi to the system. I have ran the script and it did return errors but I have been tracing back the errors that I get and I think i have been correcting some of them because as I do so, errors keep getting shorter but any ways what I really need is a system dump from a Civic that has the navi installed you can do this with ES file explorer set it to mount system read write along with the vendor folder it shows and any of the mnt folders as well. Just copy the system to your usb. Also while you are in your file manager, look for a root folder called "mnt" within that copy folders called data1 and data2(not at my car to verify those folder names but they are a "1" and "2" set same names, I believe those folders have files that will add in the install process as well.

It would be really swell if some one could help me out I might be onto something here lol:good::highfive::good:

Does Honda Hack work on a Honda CRV 2019? I just tried it and it gets stuck on "processing, do not close the browser" after you've entered the registration code.

UPDATE: Anyone who is wondering. It does work. For some reason, I had to teather from my phone instead of use my home wifi.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Nobody has tried, email codeage.
[Android General] panchox:
I was trying the same, but nobody wants to do a simple backup of their system. Also, I read somewhere that the Navi version has a mount for an sd card hidden in the back, but nobody confirmed, it's also locked to some VINs.

Theres an option to "unlock" Navi in the diag settings, I don't know where it tries to read, if USB, SD, or another mount.

There are multiple approachs but I don't have the knowledge, it requires a test HU to mess around, Navi and non Navi backups to compare and the knowledge and will to do it.

Maybe [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] could clear things up if this it's possible.
[Android General] jctghost:
I emailed Codeage and have not received a response so thought I would post here for help. I have a 2018 PHEV Honda Clarity. I purchased and installed hondahack pro. Used it for a few days without issue just with it's default installs. Then tried to install 1 new program, via apk, to access my dash cam (ddpai). This is not a root apk, and was tested on a phone first and scanned with zoner (at least I tried to make sure it was a good apk). I then enabled write to external flash USB storage so I could save the videos without having to access the camera is it is installed "compactly." All seemed to work, however I got brave and enabled fast mount for external storage and it rebooted. Then rebooted to Software Update. Let it go for a while, didn't touch anything. Finally had to turn off the car and go to work. Turned the car back on and everything booted up fine but I cannot get the Maps (built in) to work. Garmin Navigator never launches and eventually force closes. I have pulled the negative, rebooted, still nothing fixes Garmin Navigator, it will not launch. I uninstalled the only app I added, still no good. I used the recovery.sh on autohack and factory reset the HU, it is back up but still no Garmin Maps. Although I know most people use HH to replace built in maps on the Clarity they are actually useful as they have some EV info that is useful and I like being able to navigate offline. I have tried everything I can think of. Suggestions? Guess I am out the $25 and the HU....

edit: Just heard from Codeage via email and working through some stuff. Not fixed yet, but want to note that Codeage DID respond, support for HH is still there. Will advise if a fix is figured out but also lots of smart people here, feel free to chime in. I would really like to avoid the dealership....

Thanks,

[Android General] sawixso81:
Hey thanks for even responding lol, not sure about the sd card in the back but i think when I was running that auto-install.sh it created a sdcard1 folder and Im pretty sure the script looks for an apk in that(not at the car at the moment)folder, because I got an error in the script saying it was looking for apk*. I will be going out later to continue playing around. It is strange to there is a 0.00mb apk called com.honda.displayaudio.navi.apk in the vendor folder i think that is the actual navi app or it could be the app that gives the map button interface at the top of the screen with the audio and source buttons. As I keep digging around will continue to post but dont think we can get to far until we can get that dump, some out there has one, hell I may even consider donating $5 bucks or something paypal to get somebody to dump those files not hard or a long process to do.:good::highfive::good:
