Getting an error "no downloadable apps available" when trying to install apps online through HH menu. Version 4.6.3. Anyone else? Side note. After turbo free memory cleared up 8 apps and freed 130 MB of memory the HU is running much more smoothly
[Android General] Ludeape:
nice, but will we have to continually do this? especially after reboots?

I addded all my installed apps to the prevent from starting list.. that may help.. but google services may not be able to be added

I suggest everyone who wants things fixed by codeage send/paypal him a small donation for his time @ [B]codeage@outlook.com[/B]
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
If anyone is interested, here are the system specs of the HU on the Honda Civic 2016 (US and Canada model car, maybe other regions too - Should be the same for the 2017 model as no change happened between).

CPU: Nvidia Tegra 3 - T30L - Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9 @ 900 MHz (Normally 1.2GHz, so it has been slowed down for some reason)

CPU L1 Cache: 32K per core (4)

CPU L2 Cache: 1MB total

CPU Process: 40nm

CPU Code Name: Kal-El

RAM: 1GB (965MB addressable)

Internal Storage: 2.34GB (probably a 3GB eMMC chip if it were my guess)

Screen Resolution: 800x480 (480p)

OS: Android - 4.2.2 - Jelly Bean

Java VM: Dalvik 1.6.0

Kernel Version: 3.1.10+ (126)

OpenGL: OpenGL ES 2.0

Board Name: Andromeda

Manufacture Mitsubishi Electric

In other words, a slow potato. The CPU is from 2012, and wasn't impressive by a long shot back then either.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Wonder if its possible to overclock?

This is what cocerned me from the start. The hardware and OS is already old and the car is brand new.

What kind of app support can we expect in another 5-7 years running an ancient 10 year old Android OS and harware spec.
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
TL;DR

I think turbo freeing memory once will help performance without the need to do it every time. It is possible, however, that clearing it every time your car is off for at least multiple hours might also help. Brief moments(running into a store quick, getting gas, whatever) doesn't seem to benefit from turbo freeing memory.

(original post)

Jesus. What, did they go dumpster diving for hardware that no company could sell to make these headunits? Thank God we have codeage, man. I came from a 15 civic ex and I honestly got more functionality out of that HU at stock than this one. Especially since dsp flat apk doesn't work on my(and others) '16 ex-L, but running Spotify on the unit with HH somehow does the same thing. At least I think it does. I haven't heard a functional dsp flat, but the difference between Spotify on the HU and every other source(radio, USB, Bluetooth Spotify etc.) is night and day.

Anyways, as an update to turbo free memory from my earlier post. Starting my car to go home from work cleared 14 background apps and freed 100 and change for a total of 238 free MB. 7 or so apps immediately start back up(Bluetooth, GPS icons disappear and return a few seconds later). I stopped at the pharmacy for 5 minutes, repeated freeing memory and it only closed 9(i think, maybe 8?) apps, different memory freed, similar total memory available. I'm thinking it might be related to the car being off for that magical 30 minutes that cause more background apps to open?

Regardless, having said all of that. I haven't had any real issues with slowness since this morning. And after thinking about it. My initial post said 8 apps closed this morning, I meant 18!(will edit momentarily) so that's 4 or 5 apps that closed and never came back.
[Android General] LLStarks:
I put some more thought into what it would take for a lightweight alternative to Play Services and the Play Store.

Easy solution

Install Yalp: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore/

Yalp will use either its built-in account or your Google account if Play Services is installed (we're trying to avoid this). The app will tell you whether whatever apps you search for are compatible, whether they have ads, whether updates are available, or whether GSF (aka Play Services) are required. An app may use Play Services, but may not be a hard requirement. This app is open-source and is not a shady alternative app store, it's an alternative front end for the official app store. And no, I don't think we can use the pretty, Material Design Aurora fork.

Example: https://i.imgur.com/hUZaeYc.jpg

Hard solution (DO NOT ATTEMPT, this is just brainstorming)

The microG route:

https://microg.org/download.html (do we need these as system apps?)

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing

This requires signature spoofing in order to fool Google... This is achieved either with a custom rom that supports it (not possible, obviously), patching the rom in-place, or an Xposed module (below). I don't know how flexible the Honda Hack implementation of Xposed is, but this would be YOLO as hell.

https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thermatk.android.xf.fakegapps

Since we don't have a proper dialer, device registration would be: am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2432546

At that point, we could use the official Play Store or enhanced Yalp.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Well there is an aftermarket 10 in Android 8 head unit with crv firmware integrated out there.. I can't seem to recall the link to it now though.

That could be our only option for those that want to keep our cars for a while.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Meh, I have a lease. I could get 3 years out of this, but there will be a dead-end for Jellybean in the next year or so and app versions will be frozen.
[Android General] newsyrom:
any hope that this hack can support honda Jazz/Fit 2017 ?
[Android General] LLStarks:
I think you need a 2018 or 2019 for that. Base models excluded.
[Android General] Ludeape:
This was the aftermarket unit with Honda firmware built in...(crv shown) not sure where its sold though.

Its an interesting option if it fully integrated into the car controls.
[Android General] LLStarks:
That thing looks nuts.

I found a decent solution for screen mirroring. CastReceiver. It works far better than I imagined. Almost no latency and buttery smooth. The app uses GPU accelerated decoding and the difference is night and day when compared to having the option off. Don't be so quick to write off the Tegra 3, it's quite capable.

Once installed on the headunit, enable the Google Cast option and look for the device in the cast menu of your phone. There is a 5 minute limitation unless you buy the premium version for $3.99, but it's worth it. Only catch is that you need Play Services to keep the in-app purchase from disappearing or you do a little gray-area patching. Haven't found another app that implements a Google Cast receiver like this. Miracast isn't an option for our headunit.

Demo of functionality
[Android General] Ludeape:
nice!

can i also use a tablet in the back seat to sync up with the head unit so the same move plays on both screens?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Yes, within reason. As long as the tablet is the hotspot or connected to the same hotspot as the car (i.e. a phone). The car is just a receiver. The reverse direction is impractical.

This app uses the Audio Apps channel instead of the BT channel. If you switch off the channel, you may need to reinitialize the connection to get audio back.

One thing I've noticed is that the Netflix DRM on the source device is apparently smart enough to know that you are casting and will block the video within the app on the receiver.
[Android General] MasterofGaming7:
i think i ****ed up

I purchased a external USB GPS receiver for the car, and i followed the tutorials on you tube on how to set up everything,...HOWEVER I installed google-play, i guess just update some apps if necessary, but now the dashboard doesn't function as a dashboard anymore :( AND it stays at the welcome screen and i cannot get past it... I'm trying to see if i can revert the process but i cant :(...

Any Help ?
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Do you mean the screen that says to pick a language and such?

If so, that is the Google Play service that you installed. You need to go through it, and it will back to normal (minus a serious performance drop until you remove it)

I don't know why you got a USB GPS, you have a GPS antenna already in the car (assuming you have Civic 10th Gen, with this screen):

So on my minor problem with the HU not showing the direction on my dashboard screen with Waze. I wanted to give out some additional details from what I tested:

-> I have Honda Hack: 4.6.3

-> I tried with Waze from Honda Hack app (4.34.1.0)

-> I tried installed updating Waze to the latest version (4.43.1.1) through Google Play Store, but that version really doesn't work with the HU. The map doesn't display at all. It is like the GPU or GPU driver fails to support what Waze needs as APIs to be able to draw successfully the maps. So all I have is the GUI overlay and "everything works" but the map doesn't show, nor car location arrow. Interesting fact, with this latest version, it also really wants Google service now... so be aware that even if it would work, like Google Maps, you will have to choose between: Lag and terrible performance (and dangerous if you reply on the backup camera, as it can freeze and you might hit something on the back) but the latest Waze or old Waze until a hack can be done to by-pass this.

I have the Honda Civic 2016 - EX - Canada. Does not feature the Nav option (even if I wanted to buy it, I need to get the Touring model)
[Android General] dreadlk:
Just wondering if my CRV is the only one that cannot startup on the last screen since upgrading to the latest HH. The HU always starts on the Home screen even though I have HH set to None and I set the Honda option to startup on last screen.

It use to startup with the built in audio player before I upgraded and now it does not.

The music is playing but I am on the home screen!
[Android General] Ludeape:
I am not having that issue in my crv but I also dont use the built in audio player. Maybe something with that could be the issue.

By default I think the built in audio player setting is disabled. You checked that setting?
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Did you try force reboot the HU after the change in settings in HH? Try that, wait for everything to load, and now go to a screen panel, and now turn off the car, wait for the system to go to sleep (screen is off, but it goes on the sleep in a moment on the back), so just wait a couple of seconds, and now turn on the car (or accessories mode), and see after the HU loads up, if it gets to the last screen.

I don't have a CRV, but on my Civic I had the reverse going, it would go to the last screen, but not app. Ended up that I need to restart the HU after fiddling around for a while.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Regarding google play services..

So even if you set the store to NOT auto update... play services is still running all the time slowing down the system?

Thae casting from tablet om backseat to head unit is exactly what I have been looking for but I dont want to slow down my entire system as a result if this.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
I don't know what it is doing, but does slow things down.

Interesting observation though:

If you install the Play Store, and not Google Maps, you have the very old Google Play Store it, it does slow things down, but as bad as:

Installing the Play Store, WITH Google Maps, which updates the Store to the newest version, and now it really shows down.

Regardless, I recommend to install the apps you need, hopefully they don't need Google store, and uninstall it after.
[Android General] Ludeape:
So if you install Castreceiver then uninstall google play the app will fail after?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Yeah, eventually it will revert to trial mode and manual intervention is required.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Wonder why codeage said there is no slowdown caused by play services.

Maybe because he is testing on a debug unit not actually in a car?

Hoping he can come up with a solution for the play services slowdown..
[Android General] alancauchi:
Again same problem. Why is it such a problem in this Honda HU that this damn Google service slows down everything and has to be uninstalled for hu to work properly? Such a shame as nowadays lots of apps depend on it. My main apps are youtube, gmail and also whatsapp web (so I use same account as my phone) and all these without google services wont work so Im stuck again.

How did any of you get around this thing?
[Android General] Ludeape:
We are already getting more out of these head units than what Honda wanted us to... Thanks to Codeage.

While I really want a stable google play services very much also, I am just happy we can at least install some apks.

Its better than nothing.

I bought my CRV before i even knew we could install apps.
[Android General] alancauchi:
Agreed and I praise Codeage and thank him so much, but tbh, what other apps are you referring to other then spotify which is stock and waze which could be slightly good replacement with stock Garmin?
[Android General] Ludeape:
I have these apps installed.

1. Waze

2. Google maps

3. Netflix

4. Xfinity stream.

5. My Radar

6. NOAA Weather

7. Chrome

8. Several video players

9. X-plore

10. Some cool live wallpapers

That's all I can remember off the top of my head

[Android General] Ludeape:
HH online installer has some and you know work.

Its trial and error really for everytbing else.

Apkpure has almost everything..just look for apps that support android 4.2.2 API 17.

Also check out cmdroid.com
[Android General] takumibunta:
Turn off the auto update only will prevent the apps that you have installed from the HH app store to be updated automatically.

The play services should running in the background.

Anyhow, my Head Unit seems a bit laggy though, I only have Waze and Mx Player installed in the head unit.

For casting I have no idea.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Apkpure is not bad cannot update the waze or youtube app.

I have tried , I can only use Waze from the HH online store.

For youtube I found it is extreamly laggy...

:(
[Android General] Ludeape:
If you dont like youtube then use Newpipe.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Don't touch apkpure or any of those garbage sites.

Use Yalp and don't look back. Covers all the bases in security, compatibility, and updates.
[Android General] nunoqsm:
This happened to me as well... after installing Google Play Services, I'm stuck at the welcome screen, where I can choose a language and I only have one button to click. No matter what language I choose, after clicking the button it starts thinking and thinking and it ends up on the same welcome screen, just allowing me to choose a language and click start.... I can listen to FM radio (cant change stations however), the reverse camera works, but that's it. cant do anything else..... what can i do solve this?? Thanks in advance!!

Google play services is the culprit. Uninstall cause it just cant be installed in this Hond head unit

[Android General] nunoqsm:
i'm still stuck on the welcome screen after installing google play services.... no way to go back and uninstall it.. basicly cannot do anything... tine to go to the dealer??
[Android General] LLStarks:
Restarting the car or waiting 30 minutes until the next start should allow you to proceed if things get stuck. Are you able to swipe down from the top of the screen?

If you go to the dealer as is, they will not cover it under warranty.

No, you need a 2019 Sport or better.
[Android General] jevinskie:
Does anybody know where I can get a restore or update USB stick for a 2018 CRV? On the Honda techinfo site, I can order an update USB stick for a Civic since they have had a service bulletin issued, but as far as I can tell there have been none issues for the 2018 CRV.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Whoa. codeage to the rescue.

Will that require selecting the normal boot option once the car ends up in recovery? Just want to follow the logic in case I ever need this.
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Many Thanks Codage and LLStarks for your quick replys. I will give the script a go, as restarting the car or waiting 30min didn't solve my issue (i waited over 5 hours...) . Will try the script today and will let you guys know the outcome. After the script I will be able to install Honda Hack again right? My Honda cannot live without it already :D Thanks for your time!

Using Honda Hack 4.6.3 in a 2017 Ridgeline

TV Mosaic android app on head unit

HP 10-p018wm Detachable Laptop as a server it seems to have a good battery life. It hasn't went dead yet at least but I do drive a lot so it has ample opportunity to charge. It's set up to never go to sleep, accept updates and log itself in so if it does happen to die all I have to do is hit the power button and away we go.

Just using a cheap power inverter from harbor freight to handle the charging duties. Plugs into a cigarette lighter receptacle. I don't smoke or allow anyone to smoke in my truck so that's a good use for it lol

I have a version of Play services installed that doesn't seem to slow things down but no Play Store yet. I do have a version of Play Store I think will work though. So if I do get it sorted out so everything is playing nice I'll post a link for Ridgeline owners to download if they'd like and I'm allowed to.

Hello.

Does anybody have a working dual speaker mod for the P10?

If not, can you point me to a guide how to start on Kirin/EMUI devices?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
Not sure I follow what you mean.

The P10 physically only has one speaker (at the bottom), how would a "dual" speaker mod work in that instance???
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] davebugyi:
Technically, the P10 has two speakers - one at the bottom and an earpiece.

FYI, this mod available for all the other devices I had in the in the past year: Galaxy S7, OP3T.

The one from the P9 forum seems have no effect at all
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
Ah, I get you. Would never have considered the earpiece as a speaker for music etc as I don't think it's loud enough on most phones (unlike for example the twin speaker design on the HTC M8 & M9), but would be interesting to try I suppose.

Looks like they are having issues with the p9 one anyway, so may not be that easy.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] davebugyi:
On the OP3T it was noticeable, but on my S7 it was a "night and day" difference.

Guides are existing, but for Snapdragon devices.

Just need the right lines (and the correct mixer_paths file) to edit, but they seem to be different on Huawei devices.
