Has anyone yet attempted to install Google Play Services as well at the Play Store. Would be much easier to manage apps...
[Android General] codeage:
You can not use Play Store because of the whitelist mechanism.
[Android General] kvnhmmd:
Are you sure the whitelist would prevent the Play Store from installing apps? I was under the impression that the whitelist is for Honda's APK installer, nothing to do with apps already installed, or installed by Google Play.

It would make sense that the Play Store runs with root permissions since apps are installed silently. In theory the whitelist shouldn't matter since the play store seems to have its own installer. Obviously you'd have to add the Play Store to the whitelist to install it initially using the APK installer.

If you add an app to whitelist, install the app, then remove the entry from the whitelist, the app will still be installed and functional, correct?

I could be wrong, but that's just my thinking.
[Android General] SergeiMedvedev:
I think, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. My reasoning is that you can replicate the reason why it won't work twice. If I have an application, that I downloaded from the web browser, you can't execute the installation, it will fail - this goes against the APK Installer (Honda's own). The second, and probably most solid way is the adb install command. If you, on a rooted HU, run "adb install somepackage.apk" it will transfer the package to the HU, but, upon starting the install process, it will say failed. Both of these ways, not using the Honda APK installer. You have to update the whitelist and reboot the console for things to work.

On a side note, has anyone else had my issue? Apps like Sygic only see 0,9GiB, but the System Settings of the HU show over 2GiB.

[Android General] LLStarks:
Yeah, I meant Android Auto. If we're talking about the installed apps, that I haven't tried. I'll see if I can get a report for later after I install the latest build. Is this only for Waze? Do I need to enable the cluster option?

I need a better way of getting files on my headunit other than Chrome or the built-in browser. I was looking at AirDroid. What do you use?
[Android General] Ludeape:
hi codeage.. i am not talking about Android Auto. i am launching waze installed app on the headunit in my CRV, and the directions are showing on my cluster now.

I did not not make any kind of config changes to get this working.. just installed 4.4.8 and then it starting doing it.

It seems to be working fine as i said .. except for the following.

1. Left turn arrow showed instead of proper roundabout arrow.

2. Sometimes cluster showed full right/left turn for highway exits instead of just the the slight right/left arrow which was showing in waze.

3. When reached destination cluster still showed last turn arrow.

I will try 4.4.10 today.

thanks!
[Android General] workshop:
The above points are pretty much the main issues I experience - which seem to still exist in v 4.4.10 unfortunately. :(
[Android General] Ludeape:
oh ok.. and there is no way to turn off the cluster interaction with Waze app if you don't want it? that is not good.

I do notice that if i shut down Waze after reaching my destination, it does clear the directions from the cluster, so its not getting stuck there for me like you were reporting.
[Android General] inningsdefeat500:
Would that work for Accord Coupe 2017 and can we root that? or just use those apps only
[Android General] Ludeape:

[Android General] workshop:
So some good news...

Roundabouts are working! (they only show the roundabout icon rather than the exit number - but I can look at the main Waze screen for that - and I suspect it is a limitation of Waze and the Cluster options!)

Things that still don't work...

1. When you reach your destination it still shows that last direction (and the distance - see screen shot below as an example - PS coidentally the last direction was a roundabout in this case :D)

2. The built-in Garmin NAV no longer works with the cluster directions - whether you turn them on or off from Honda Hack or not. If you turn cluster directions off in HH then nothing is shown in the cluster for any NAV app including the built-on one. If you have them on, then Waze works and Google Maps via Android Auto, but the built-in Garmin just shows the "compass" icon.

I appreciate we have been focussing on getting Waze working, but consious that if I need to fall back to using the Garmin built-in then the cluster no longer works!

But definitley moving in the right direction! Thanks. :good:

[Android General] Ludeape:
Hi codeage,

Just tried 4.4.15 in my CRV.

Everything worked great :) except when I reached my destination the last direction arrow remained on my screen, even though Waze said i reached my destination.

It remained on my cluster until I shut down waze.

Screenshot attached.

Everything else was perfect!

Thank you codeage!
[Android General] bakedpatato:
hey codeage what link should I use for the Clarity?
[Android General] LLStarks:
4.4.15 is a big improvement on roundabouts. One thing I've noticed is that it doesn't handle instances where the directions want you to use a roundabout for a u-turn, which is announced as "take the 4th exit" and uses a distinct symbol.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Hi codeage,

i noticed that google maps installed app doesnt show cluster directions.. is it only Waze that supports this right now in CRV?

thanks
[Android General] LLStarks:
Enhancement suggestion:

The online apk installation should list the installed version of an app in addition to the version being offered when installed. When I reinstalled Newpipe, it updated from 0.11 to 0.14. There should be an "upgrade" indicator.

I don't expect many updates to be offered given how ancient our Android version is, but tracking versions is tedious otherwise.

How does the online install work? Is it your repo or static apks hosted somewhere?

Honda Hack's Sygic Maps to USB Drive

Honda Hack's Sygic Maps to USB Drive.

First, I really want to thank Codeage for his excellent Honda Hack app. I bought the Pro Version just last week, and have the Sygic that is one of its app choices up and running on my 2018 Honda Cr-V in USA downloaded from the Honda Hack set of apps, and it is working great. Thank you!

Second, I do need to be pointed in the right direction to educate myself on how the Sygic that came with the Honda Hack for Honda CR-V 2018 (mid-Sept 2018 downloaded Honda Hack so it is latest version) can download its maps to my USB drive. It seems to default to the CR-V Head Unit even if I choose the Honda Hack Configuration setting to enable writing to the USB drive initially and follow those steps first before installing Honda Hack's Sygic version. I cannot find where in the Sygic app that came with Honda Hack there is a setting where I can specify the target place to download the maps to. I have tried several different thumb drives too. I am not installing Sygic from an APK; just installing it from the Honda Hack menu after I choose the option in Honda Hack to be able to write to USB drive.

Did I pick the wrong install option for Sygic like which amount of storage to use on an entry option with two radio buttons?

Do I need to partition the USB thumb drive other than its default? (I see something about that in the honda hack website, but that is for Accors, not for 2018 CR-V's).

I am more than pleased with the quality of the Honda Hack for the 2018 CR-V and now being able to use Sygic on the head unit, but just need to be get my sygic maps off of the head unit where Sygic is, and get them to the USB thumb drive so I can download more than one map at a time.

Anyway, kudos to Codeage on a great Honda Hack app. The folks on the CR-V Owners forum also have nothing but great reviews for your work. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place, but I cannot find this answer anywhere after lots of searching the forums.

gcherian,

I have the same issue, I have the CR-V 2018 usa, bought Honda Hack Pro last week, immediately changed the setting in Honda Hack to allow writing to USB, then downloaded the Sygic that is in the Honda Hack set of apps. I tried putting different thumb drives in various usb ports on the CR-V, then chose in Sygic to download a map. It gave me no option to download it to the usb. Puts the map on my head unit. I see nothing written to the usb thumb drive. Any special formatting you had to do to the USB thumb drive to make it recognized by the honda hack sygic app? Am I missing some other step?

Thanks!

Tim
[Android General] Lenster45:
I have Sygic installed with all data on my USB drive. The drive is formatted FAT32 and is plugged into the right USB connector.

If you install a file explorer, see if it detects a USB drive as USBdrive2. This is your USB drive.

According to the Sygic web site: https://help.sygic.com/es/sygic-gps...s-tricks/how-to-move-sygic-to-sd-card-android

you can move the install to the USB drive. Once I did that, I took the drive inside to my PC and using Mapdownloader, I downloaded all the maps I wanted and copied them to the USB drive. I also installed an Android emulator on my PC and installed Sygic on the emulator, Set all my favorite places on Sygic on the emulator and then copied the DB folder to my USB drive. Plugged the USB drive back in the car and all is good.

Anyone have the gboard, keyboard, working on a pilot? It installs and works but once I restart the car it defaults to the Honda keyboard and gboard is no longer visible to the HU and I can’t even change the keyboard. Also I tried to change the system keyboard name to disable it and that doesn’t work either.

Thanks.

[Android General] elviso33:
Are you sure even for the 2017 Pilot? I just tried and the system keyboard goes faint and I can’t use it. Is there a setting in HondaHack that I’m missing?
[Android General] enishi1357:
During my drive, I did a u-turn. The distance adjusted accordingly but the arrow stayed the same. Not sure how much is the limitation of head unit or the code itself. Still amazing .

[Android General] elviso33:
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this is not an option in the pilot. The fake parking status doesn’t even show up. Something must be different between the CRV and the Pilot. If anyone has other ideas, please chime in. Would love to get a keyboard that works while moving.

[Android General] workshop:
Unfortunately having been using for the last couple of days I have found another issue - with, you guessed it, roundabouts.

See the screen shot below. On the rare occasion where the Waze icon actually shows the direction arrow going around the roundabout - rather than the circle icon and the number, for some reason the cluster icon is the complete opposite. Again, this may be a Waze / Right Hand drive issue - as I drive on the left in the UK.

See the screen shot below - but this could get confusing!!!

How is turn-by-turn passed to the dash? Is it intent-based or some other method?
[Android General] inningsdefeat500:
Any idea folks
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
That's weird. There's an option somewhere in the normal car settings (settings > systemmaybe?) that is something like "do not clear memory when car turns off." it's a long shot, but if you have no other options it's worth a shot. I had to turn that option off in order to use my USB drive as my Spotify download location. Otherwise the car "resets" and I have to re-download all my music or stream it, and without an unlimited mobile plan I'd reach my data cap every month.

Edit: if you end up doing this and it works, I highly recommend making sure you close any active apps before you turn your car off(just hold "home" button).

This is also from someone with a 16 civic, so take it as you will.
[Android General] twinotter:
I've been trying to determine why this doesn't work on the 2018 Honda Fit touchscreen system. It's running 4.0.4 and otherwise seems very similar. Can you explain what it's doing differently? Is it possible to develop a solution for the fit?

BTW, I've made it into the developer menus. I've enabled unsigned applications. I can't turn on ADB debugging, as far as I can tell. The option is greyed out in the system menu. And there doesn't appear to be anything in the developer diagnostics that helps. I found where the USB port can be switched, but it is inactive and I can't go to host mode.

codeage, is working on this not possible for lack of access to a Fit? Or another reason?

Thanks!!

[Android General] enishi1357:
I think I know what happened. I drove home twice and the arrow for the last direction for the trip stays the same.

Coincidentally, the above trip after the u-turn is the last direction as well. Which explains there's something wrong with the arrive at destination icon. But the arrive at destination icon does show up but only when the car is stationary and the destination is the where the car's at. I don't remember if the engine was running but more likely not.

Hope that helps.

Drives a 2017 civic ext with honda hack pro and waze from honda hack
[Android General] Ludeape:
well the thing is that Waze doesn't tell you if destination is on the left or right side of street (like Google maps does), so most of the time the car will never be exactly where the destination shows on Waze. I will have to try With Android auto and see if the destination icon shows on the cluster there.. i dont recall if it does or not.

this could be something that codeage cannot fix.. hoping he can though

I tried with google maps app, (not android auto) but i get no cluster directions with it.
[Android General] Gungrave223:
Hey were you successfully in unlocking the browser for the Insight?
[Android General] Ludeape:
i tested again yesterday with Waze app, and once i reached my destination i drove past it, then came back, and then pulled in driveway and put gear into park and i never got the destination icon.. the last turn icon always remained there until i shut down waze.

Other than the reached destination icon being displayed in the cluster, everything else seems to be working GREAT.

Not sure if codeage has plans to support Google Maps with cluster directions or not though.

Also waiting to see how codeage installed google play store, and how that is running :)
[Android General] LLStarks:
I tried Play Services last night. Things start slow but stabilize eventually. Used that to get Pushbullet up and running and hopefully that should be less awkward than X-plore web server for pushing files and URLs to the car. Couldn't get Play Store to connect once installed. I used the latest versions of store and services for 4.x devices. I think the user agent and non-certified device status still present issues. If anything, Google Keyboard is the #1 memory hog and I've been using it less.

I have downloaded the Honda Hack version 4.4.15 (test version) and I just tried to install it.

Now I am stuck at 'Software Update' Screen (recovery).

I have tried to select the option ' reboot system now' but seems it still stuck there...

I have read some info back there, is it true just to turn off everything (the car) and waiting for at least 30 minutes to boot normally? Please help...
[Android General] LLStarks:
You can do that or pull a fuse.

I can't speak for other vehicles, but on the 2018 CR-V, it's engine compartment fuse #19 (Audio, 15 amp).

Has anyone had any luck with finding a good version of Twitch for Honda hack(2016 civic ex-L) ? I tried a few different early versions and have had various issues from blank screens(can still tap the buttons that I can't see, funnily enough) to videos simply not loading, although supposedly all apk versions support Android 4.2.2. I'm using my phone as a Hotspot. I tend to idle a lot in my car at work (at lunch and when I arrive 30+ minutes early to get a good parking spot mostly) and usually catch up on shows I've downloaded, but it would be nice to see some live Dota tournaments when they're on as I've just about caught up on shows :)

I'm sure codeage has a real job and life that comes first before this though so we just have to be patient.

Have you tried emailing him?

He is usually very responsive.

In the meantime I installed some really cool live wallpapers from cmdroid.. Very cool but they do slow down the system a little.
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
Do all the apps listed on cmdroid work for Honda hack or is it hit or miss? That might make my quest to find specific versions that work for whatever app a lot easier lol

Edit : also what's the advantage of having Google play services? Is it just to be able to sync up Google accounts and play store stuff? Seems to be a popular request, but I must be missing something cause I don't feel the need for it?
[Android General] Ludeape:
Think cmdroid owner has an hrv, so i think most apps will work but there could be some which do not.

Some apps require google play services to work so we would have a much bigger choice of compatible apps to install on our units.
[Android General] takumibunta:
Well I understand that as well, I believe codeage is trying the level best to release the apps, just wait then.

Anyhow, I believe post #1851 https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77816647&postcount=1851 already replied my questions. I will try out someday.

[Android General] jevinskie:
I’m looking for a Civic or CRV head unit (display would be a huge plus) for reverse engineering purposes. I want to enable backup and full unbricking of head units using the Tegra bootrom exploit* (I already ported it to the Terga 3 SoC that these head units use). I need to get a head unit on a test bench to debug USB issues with the nvflash mode I am encountering on my 2018 CRV (the USB port doesn’t enumerate due to denouncing issues and I need to hook up an oscilloscope). I’m also interested in tearing apart the head unit to further reverse it’s syscon controller that interfaces with the CAN buses in the car in order to unlock extra functionality. Even a bricked head unit would be acceptable. Please let me know if you have a unit I could purchase from you!!

* After looking at the programed eFuses, it looks like the Tegra isn't even fused to use a Secure Boot Key, meaning that nvflash should just work as is without the bootrom exploit, but I can't confirm this without being able to get a stable USB connection in APX mode.
