Has anyone else tried installing Google Account manager?

The only reason i want it is so I can access my Google Maps history and favorites, and not have to type in these addresses every time i launch google Maps locally instead of using Android Auto.

Anyone try this?
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Hmm my unit must be running a different firmware than the crv unit. As I don't see a Garmin logo. Only logo I really see is some app called 'Telema'

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I just installed it on my unit with no issues. Going to be installing the services then the store next to see what happens to system performance.

After installing the latest Google play and okay services the system does come to a crawl. I keep getting error 'error retrieving information from server [RH-01] and I have good connection' on playstore and haven't found a solution.

Can try installing Google maps and see, I know play music works so can't see why maps wouldn't
[Android General] Ludeape:
Did you try launching Google Maps and logging in?

thanks
[Android General] dreadlk:
Does anyone have the Garmin APK and could upload it to a file sharing site for me?

My HU does not have Garmin but the country I am in was mapped a couple of years ago by a Garmin team and they sell very detailed Maps for their systems at local dealers.

Thanks

The biggest issue is trying to find a version that works with the older OS 4.2.2 latest version I could find is from june 2017 (9.56.1) Seems to install and run but really slow. Seems to sync up to my account OK tho.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Thanks..yea i think codeage did not recommend messing with google play..but I think maybe google account manager is ok.
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Yeah I uninstalled Google play and the services as the system came to a crawl. Not sure tho if the account manager alone will allow syncing with your account tho for maps to sync
[Android General] Ludeape:
Think this version works also.. 9.62.1

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ation-transit-9-62-1-15-android-apk-download/

I just want to know if installing Google Account Manager is enough to be able to login to maps
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Let me go check will report back,

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Seems to work properly with just the account manager ... I uninstalled the version I was testing with and installed the version provided above and seems to work fine and detects my places & such
[Android General] Ludeape:
really good news!! and no noticable slowdown with the system outside of maps?
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Not overly no, but that could change when you go to actually travel with it. I was testing with the vehicle not moving.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Play services just kill the unit which kinda sucks but not really seeing how the store doesn't load up properly so guess no huge loss. Only loss you'll have is if you're using apps that rely on the store for licensing purposes
[Android General] Ludeape:
yea.. not having store functionality doesn't bother me really since there really isn't to much we really should even install on it without blowing it up or bogging it down.

i would just like a way now to set the built in analog clock with my custom clock wallpaper as a screensaver so it comes on after a period of input inactivity.

having Waze, and local Google maps is nice and I will try the google account manager tonight also with maps.. but if I seriously need directions and not just playing around, i will use Android Auto Google maps most likely anyway :)
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Hmm that's one thing, does that version of maps support downloading or local maps? Or is it online only? I can't remember when Google released the offline local map support lol

Kinda wish I knew what the telema did, as forcestopping it really improved my units performance. One thing that would be nice to see implemented into hondahack is the ability to disable factory installed apps from running in the background, or forcestopping upon bootup. I fear using titanium backup to freeze the apps as I think that's how I bricked my first unit lol...
[Android General] Ludeape:
not sure.. i think the issue was not being able to login.. but now that you can login you may be able to download maps for offline.. i want to test this also
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Well... I don't really use maps all that often as I use Igo which has online syncing with it's offline maps, i believe it gets the info from Google maps so it gets up to date traffic reports as I drive. Works well even on this unit lol.
[Android General] Ludeape:
I was able to download offline google maps no problem once logging in :)

the only thing that i dont like is that its storing the maps on internal storage and not my external usb stick.

wish i could use the external storage for this.
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Hmm yeah I think that's a Google maps hardcode so maps aren't going where they don't want them to go lol.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Well Google maps does have the ability to move maps to the SD card, so not sure if its some combination of the Android version, maps version, or the car hardware that is preventing the Storage Preferences from showing up in the maps offline setting menu.

Its better than nothing though. Will just have to manage the space..

https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Hmm true I think they brought that into newer releases of Google maps, as initially it was only able to store on internal storage, think later they allowed for external now that you mention it. It could be that we are crippled with the older version of maps due to the os.
[Android General] Ludeape:
from what i am reading they enabled SD card support back in 2016 version 9.31

I have 9.63 i think..

Maybe because the external USB is not showing as an SD card to the OS.. Need someone smarter than me like codeage to figure this out i think.
[Android General] kwalsh24:
Hmm could be just the unit causing the lack of support then.
[Android General] Ludeape:
i think its the Android version.. its too old and needs to be Marshmallow or above

Hey Guys,

I didn't find anything on Hulu on our radios but I found one that finally works with it! Hulu 2.28.0.213107-213107_minAPI15.

It pops up a message about google play services but you can just tap anywhere on the screen and it will go away, sign in and your ready to roll!

It has little hiccups when using the blinker camera but thats about it. Works great besides that!

Cannot access USB mode menu

Hi

I have successfully entered developer mode, and installed the honda permissions apk to allow me to install some other software (waze and spotify).

I would now like to root the unit, but I can't get to the second hidden menu. The 3-button menu appears, and I select the bottom option, then hold Menu until I get to first hidden menu (i use this to turn VSP error off) but when I then hold the Home button as per the instructions, I dont get any other menu appear. I would like to enable the correct USB mode so I can use a USB A-A lead.

My car is a 2015 honda civic tourer, european model.

Thanks,

Try buy a honda hack Pro

Hi,

I'm trying to make the purchase of the Honda Hack Pro version. I've tried doing it by the application itself in the central multi-media, the mobile phone and the computer. When I click to upgrade and go to the PayPal website, the PayPal website is informed that the recipient only accepts payments through his site.

Would you like to know where I can buy Honda Hack Pro?
[Android General] Ludeape:
email codeage, he responds very quickly most of the time.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

on a side note.. its kind of hard to believe that these car manufacturers are still using an Android OS from 2012. Newer versions of Android must be very difficult to customize.

I try to install newpipe to my friend HU which still stucked bootloop by nefariuos.sh

I cannot install newpipe v.0.9.8 through pm install method and it say INTERNAL ERROR

But with the same apk, I can install newpipe.apk through install.bat on my root HU.

The question is

Anyone can install newpipe.apk without permanent root? How?

I find the other way between praying I can pass nefariuos script (T-T)
[Android General] codeage:
INTERNA ERROR is generally caused by an incorrect whitelist file. You can compare your whitelist with the one generated by install.bat to see if there are any difference. To make things easier, you can run install.bat with an rooted android phone or emulator and use the generated whitelist file.
[Android General] Kurian8:
Yes, manualy, Just after dirtycow run replaced run-as, that as root, You can replace whitelist and after reeboot You can install apk.

This is EXACTLY what keeps happening to me!! can someone please help? I cannot move past this. I also have been out of the rooting game for close to 5 years. any help is VERY appreciated
[Android General] freshlysqueezed:
You need to copy and pull the whitelist file onto your computer. Instructions can be found in the following link

http://www.civicx.com/threads/finally-custom-apk-installs-na-model.12632/

4. From here on you want to copy whitelist-1.0.xml found into /data/data/ to /data/local/tmp.

This can be done using the command "cp /data/data/whitelist-1.0.xml /data/local/tmp"

Next modify the permission so you can pull it to your PC to edit using the command "chown shell:shell /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml"

5. Type exit twice to leave shell, and use the command "adb pull /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml /your/directory/here"

6. Make a backup of this file just for safety.
[Android General] atandukar:
thank you so much.. also I'm guessing I would need to the whitelist file and then put it back in /data/data?

edit - actually I found the series of code that is required.. so you basically have to retrace your steps back to put the edited whitelist file where you pulled it from:

"adb shell"

"/system/bin/run-as"

"cp /data/data/whitelist-1.0.xml /data/local/tmp"

"chown shell:shell /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml"

"exit"

"exit"

"adb pull /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml /your/directory/here"

"adb push /your/location/whitelist-1.0.xml /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml"

"adb shell"

"/system/bin/run-as"

"cp /data/local/tmp/whitelist-1.0.xml /data/data/"

"exit"

"exit"

"adb reboot"

[Android General] deaddog:
Hi, I have a question about the pro version of Hondahack. I managed to install waze without problems in my Honda Civic, however the voice alerts are heard so low that i can’t hear them , specially when music is being played using Apple Music through CarPlay. In the pro version there is a Navigation volume control menu with functions to adjust music volume and Navigation voice gain, however they do not seem to work with the waze version downloaded through Hondahack. Is there anything I need to do to make this work?
[Android General] zhxq:
I think that might because you have a normal, non-navigation version of Honda...... Mine is Touring, and I believe only EX-L w/ Navigation and Touring has Garmin inside (at least of 2016 version, and I think Navigation is standard for EX-L/Touring 2017 version and later).

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

I think I will do that a little bit later...... I'm currently on work, and I'll do that after work.

[Android General] Ludeape:
Any apps you install which are outside of apple play or android auto are not supported and for the most part will not run 100% perfect.

We just have to live with it. For waze I set it to play over phone speaker so at least it doesn't cut off my music playing.

Maybe an app volume booster app could work of we can find a compatible one.

DSP Flat!!!

Hello all,

DSP Flat / EQ Off can be achieved, easily!

Attached here is the stand alone apk made with Tasker. Simply install the apk, allow root permissions, and let it run. This changes DSP to Flat / Eq Off. You'll have to run the program every time you start the car, I have a shortcut on my home screen.

Thanks to [MENTION=6358862]panchox[/MENTION] for the initial logcat finding. I tried all kinds of stuff with kmod ect. and found this was the simplest solution. This apk is just like the video [MENTION=5545266]shinemonmond[/MENTION] posted but, I made it myself because I got sick of waiting for others to post this.

With out further delay here it is, may your ears rejoice!

Leave me a thanks thumbs up if this has helped you.

Cheers!
[Android General] dr_drache:
Sweet!

now to get V4A or another EQ working!
[Android General] blowtorch:
V4A works, you have to install Stericson BusyBox first though. For sound you have to adjust V4A Bluetooth settings for whatever reason.
[Android General] dr_drache:
perfect -

for my benefit and others - to make Flat DSP work - we NEED :

honda hack

your APK

V4A (version?)

Stericson BB

do I need superSU apk?

going to get this done here in a bit.

as always, thanks!
[Android General] Ludeape:
i assume that this doesn't work with the wireless Honda hack method, since it doesnt root the unit correct?
[Android General] dr_drache:
that's a very good question -

pretty sure it does -

as to modify the whitelist (to install apps properly) requires editing a file you can only edit as root.

I could be wrong of course.
[Android General] 5inn:
I've rooted using the Honda Hack.exe using an A->A USB Cable. I downloaded a couple APKs, and installed using the Honda Installer from a USB drive. I installed Waze which I got the APK from this forum. However, when I tried to install Torque Pro which I pulled off my Android device I get the error 'Failed to obtain the signature of the apk file. The file is invalid or corrupt.'

Any ideas? I don't think I should need to manually sign the APK.
[Android General] blowtorch:
To make DSP Flat you need Root and My APK, that's it.

Busybox is require for V4A, if you wish to install it, again it's not required for DSP Flat. I have attached the files I've used to get V4A working.
[Android General] dr_drache:
you are amazing.
[Android General] 5inn:
Just to follow up on this, it seems like I was using a bad APK. I tried another APK found online and it worked. Since I have already purchased the app, my conscious feels fine :)
[Android General] dreadlk:
Which version of Torque did you use?

Thanks for any help
[Android General] 5inn:
The current, 1.8.199.

I have not hooked up a Wifi OBD2 dongle yet to the head unit as currently I only own a BT one (which I'm told won't work for the HU). But a WiFi one is on the way from Amazon, and from what I read it should work without issue.

Yea i notice that GMaps doesn't have the play over phone speaker option also. Wonder if trying an older version may have it.

Soundabout app looks interesting as you can pick where to route sound, so may be able to fix the Gmaps issue with it.

Anyone try this app to control certain app volume behavior?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spycorp.appvolumecontrol&hl=en
[Android General] ispofe:
Yes, you pull a copy to PC then edit and push back to HU. I am not familiar with codage's method especially regarding SU root.

You will need root privilege to push the whitelist.xml back into the HU because it is a system file.

Another method I have used since it is not a big edit (2-3 lines) is to use ESexplorer (or similar root explorer app) to open the whitelist file, make the changes, save it and reboot the HU.

Hi, I tried to use the Waze widget and I got the same experience. I assumed it was one of the limitations of the HU.

[Android General] Ludeape:
Yea , I placed a weather widget on the screen, and sometime it will update when first starting the car and sometimes it wont. Very strange.

If i go into the hidden diag menu, and cancel the android restriction option, it also updated itself after that. Not sure if it was coincidence or its specifically related to that.

Something seems to block it from working, but some times it does work, so not sure exactly why its behaving like this.
