Hmm, what error did you get when trying to restore? These reports of the restore feature not working makes me a little nervous. I do not want to factory reset anything.

I have used the restore feature twice already and it worked flawless each time.

I only wish codeage would implement a homescreen/settings backup feature so we could quickly restore all HH settings.
[Android General] Breaultk:
Never Recieved a error. It just fails to ever install. Just the spinning dots forever. Doing a fresh install didn't really matter, takes about 20 mins to get all set up the way I had it, but like I said I cant figure out how I got dsp flat working before.

Has anyone been able to update Sygic and still maintain the navigation voice? It breaks if I update it to the latest version (17.7)

Install supersu and grant it super user permissions. I had to do the same.

[Android General] Breaultk:
I tried to install supersu but it does the same thing dsp flat does when I click it. Nothing.

Maybe I have the wrong version installed?
[Android General] sawixso81:
I wouldnt worry about factory resets have done them hundreds of times lol, all of the car's important stuff is on a totally different partition and doesn't get touched during a factory reset.:good::highfive::good:

I have been thinking about buying a test unit to see if a custom recovery is possible on these things, that would so cool,possibilities of taking full backups and to be able to restore too........but this could all just be wishful thinking on my end lol

Has anybody had any luck with the paid version on a US 2019 HR-V? Mine just spins loading and I waited 20 mins with nothing.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
From experience with my Civic 2016, which is different from your HRV, but perhaps worth a try.

- Make sure you have a good internet connection in the car.

- Press and hold the power button to restart the head unit, and try again. Sometime a second try might do the trick.

That said, your car is not listed as a compatible car. So it might not have the same version of Android that allows the exploit done through the web browser (or any other method) to jail break the device.

Hi, I bought the Hack Pro yesterday but it remains with the screen on the broswer saying that I have to wait. I have waited over 20 minutes without success. I have a CRV of 2018.

It's possible to get help? Thanks so much e sorry for my bad english
[Android General] bjandroid:
Same here. I bought the Pro two days ago with the exact same problem. I have a HRV, but I read it has the same head unit as the CRV. So we are in the same boat. I am going to try powering off and on first as was suggested though.

[Android General] ZeRoZeRoRaZ:
So many questions and no answers...

This thread should be called Q&NoA ?
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Actually, I am an early user of HondaHack and I'm very proud of it, as it works flawlessly on my Honda Civic. I've already emailed Codeage a few times with some questions and he always answers quickly and tries to solve any problems whatsoever as best as he can.

But I understand you guys that don't have the time or patience to read over 240 pages....

My suggestion is (as this is a paid Hack, I paid my PRO version myself as well) to Codeage create a HondHack Wiki, with all the instructions, questions and answers so we can go there and don't ask here the same question over and over again... This is a great Hack, but it needs a bit of reading and understanding to make it work as we would like. A Wiki page would be the best, I think.

Keep up the AMAZING work Codeage, and for the new users, if your car is compatible, just don't be afraid. This Hack works and is GREAT.
[Android General] brucine:
I have read all of the 240 pages, and the only question i wrote was never answered.

Maybe, as said, some laziness of people not reading these 240 pages, and therefore not answering when some new question appears.

Furthermore, if codeage answers some issue by mail, no one else knows about this issue, and this situation might make the same resolved issue asked again and again in this forum.

If people don't read (or don't know) what you are talking about, this forum becomes in the end totally useless and should be replaced not by a wiki (tutorials are by definition made of already solved issues), but by a forum or whatever where the developper

would be the only one in charge of the moderation of questions and answers.

But this would mean he wants to create something like that, and has enough time to.
[Android General] sawixso81:
2.79 or 2.82 which ever one I had laying around from another project lol but those both work for me at least.
[Android General] bjandroid:
Took your advice and emailed codeage directly. He is refunding my money since HR-V isn't supported. Not sure why as I have read different places that the head unit is the same as the CR-V.

Anybody know of any way to get my HR-V rooted?
[Android General] 460cidpower:
Youtube Vanced

Can youtube vanced be used on the Civic HU?
[Android General] LLStarks:
I would suspect that you could if and only if you used the non-rooted API17 versions. The headunit does not support API19. Not sure if the microg Vanced is essential.

Only API17 builds for 14.x are White/Dark and White/Black. 13.x builds have more color options.

Mine was sent within an hour. I'd contact him.

Trying to install SuperSU. Used x plorer to move the apk(2.82) to the head units download folder (where I've installed other apks from). Went into. HH, install from storage, and it's going but gets stuck at "processing" and just sits there with the spinning loading circle icon. Anyone have any input on this? I have pro version on a 2016 civic coupe ex-l in the U. S.
[Android General] Scopesys:
I am no Android expert, so I have taken the simple approach.

I put any apps I want to install on a dedicated Honda HU Apps USB drive, and install direct from the USB drive.

My logic is that this gives me a dedicated (Backup) USB drive with all the installed apps on it, and does not take up any extra precious space on the HU.

These are the ones I use as Root type tools

Superuser.apk

stericson.busybox_62-212_minAPI15(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

SpecDevice117.apk

Root Browser Classic_v2.7.6.0_apkpure.com.apk

in attached ZIP file

These version work for me on my Honda Hacked Head Unit :)
[Android General] Scopesys:
A few Honda Hack questions I cannot find specific answers to ...

When Honda Hack (Hides) .. ie when you want to take the car to the Dealer, and don't want them to see Hinda hack, does it just HIDE whats been added, or does remove it.

ie When you come to UN-HIDE with the 4 digit password, does it just UNHIDE what was hidden, or is something else downloaded and added to the Head unit.

Currently, does the Hide & Un-Hide work 100% to restore the hacked system ??

Also, for the given Unit, is the Password always the same, each time it is hidden and then has to be un-hidden.

---

And talking about Passwords, what are the two Options at the end of the Honda Hack settings menu, that seem to require a password - should users be going there -- and in any case, what is it for ??
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
It removes it enough to hide from the dealership. Dealership are not tech savvy. And the mechanics doesn't care in reality, and beside too busy to take their time with each car. The only one that really cares is: Honda.. The dealership doesn't want to replace a head unit display, ship the broken one to Honda, and have Honda say to the dealership: "you owe is $1500 because this one was rooted, you should have detected that. We gave you a service builtin for you to be aware of that, and you should have refused servicing or charge the client for replacement as it is out of warranty".

You want to hide it, to not have the dealership refuse service under warranty for something not really related, but they think it is related, because they want to cover their ass to the max. And they don't want, and you don't want the dealership to go after you, if Honda is after them.

If you want to do a head unit replacement, say the touch screen is acting funky, then you better remove Honda Hack completely (either way you'll need to re-install it from scratch with the replacement). Also, be sure to clear the web browser history, cookies and cache in the settings to leave no trace, and better yet, uninstall Honda Hack, and do a system restore. Just in the case they start checking for hints, or they plug the device and see it is a rooted (that they can check, even software that you can install yourself form the Play Store will tell you if the device is rooted or not). If you are leasing the car, you better uninstall it, and do a factory reset on it, making sure there is no trace. Remember, on a lease, you don't own the car, Honda does.

Honda hack is still there, the device remain rooted. But the apps, including Honda Hack own app is gone.

Nope. Write it down, take a picture, there is no way to get Honda Hack back (beside factory reset and re-installing it, and re-install your apps) if you don't have the password.

What option? I don't recall from the top of my head.

I have been running a legit copy of SYGIC up to and including version 17.9.0

When I tries to install 17.9.3 or 17.9.4, the HH offline install button is greyed out and it will not install using APKPURE.

I suspect that SYGIC may have changed the supported android version from 4.03+ to 4.4+

Can anyone verify?
[Android General] Ludeape:
its says it right there on apkpure for Sygic 17.9.4

Android 4.4+ (Kitkat, API 19)

Its only going to get worse from here with every app we use... our head units were outdated 5 years ago
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Just a VERY silly question, that shows my ignorance on the matter... can't we root the head unit and upgrade Android to a decent version? like we do on mobile phones that don't have an official update from the brand but the community makes a rom with an updated android version... just a thought :)
[Android General] yigitanil:
Hello guys, recently i noticed that "fasten driver seatbelt" or "fasten passenger seatbelt" voices/speeches are no longer exist! I mean, It used to say "please fasten driver seatbelt" but now there is only warning sound beeps when i dont fasten my seatbelt.

Any idea about the reason behind this issue? Searched the settings but did not find any option about it.
[Android General] LLStarks:
No. There's a few things working against us.

* Weak hardware

* No kernel sources (car either uses mainline Automotive Grade Linux kernel or wholly violates GPL)

* No driver binaries or board files (I've spotted a few module.ko files but that's it)

* No meaningful way to backup or apply firmware (nothing NAND-level)

* Minimal recovery functions and nothing for harder bricks

Even if we could compile and flash something that booted, we'd have no Honda framework or integration with the rest of the car.
[Android General] Ludeape:
What car do you have? A Civic or CRV? because i dont recall ever hearing a voice on the CRV..
[Android General] aagpz:
This was due to Honda Hack - they have since updated the app to show that you wont get the seatbelt warning once Honda Hack is enabled.

I confirmed by disabling Honda Hack and I immediately got the seatbelt warning messages etc.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Sounds to me like a regional regulation. In US and Canada, only a visual indicator and beeping sound is required to notify the driver that his/her seatbelt and I believe this also applies to the the passenger seatbelt as well, if weight is detected on the seat (that or the industry pushed itself to make it a standard feature in all cars). This is probably because these days, drivers tend to put their seat belts on. It isn't a common enough issue to set regulations to push car manufactures to do more, like a voice alert. I think the best you can do, is share your country with codeage with this issue, and see if he can do anything... I doubt he will go out of his way to buy a head unit from your region (beside the fact that they are super expensive) to test and fix this, unless common firmware is shared between regions, and he sees something that he can do.
[Android General] yigitanil:

How can i un-hide the honda hack? Now I activated the "hide honda hack before dealer" option. Saved the code. Where to write this code?

Edit: I think I have to visit this website and write down the code: http://r.autohack.org/

Am I correct?
[Android General] LLStarks:
You have to do that from your car.
[Android General] nunoqsm:
Hey! I think the seat belt warning is disabled as soon as you enable the video play while the car is on the move. Normally videos are only allowed when the car is parked. HondaHack allows you to watch videos on the move, but when you enable that feature, it disables the seat belt warnings. I also had the voices warning about seat belts, but now they are gone. that's because I enabled that feature. Hope this helps!!
[Android General] yigitanil:
Makes sense :) ill try that as soon as i recover my apps.

Everytime I switch on HU is open on Audio Apps... but when I switch off is on BT.

I do something wrong?

Thanks in advance! View attachment 4740378View attachment 4740379
[Android General] brucine:
I submitted myself a similar question (without any answer): it seems that, on the next start up, and whatever the Honda Hack parameters are, the system launches the last used application, but does not consider as such the ones integrated in the general menu (eg the navigation maps item).

Even when it starts to the audio menu (reading music from a usb stick), it automatically shifts back to the general menu after some time.
[Android General] codeage:
This happens if you enabled the Startup video.

You can turn off Honda Hack >> Optimizations >> Fake parking status to see if the problem persists.

I couldnt restore my hidden apps after the "hide apps before going to dealer" mode. When I enter the code, loading page appears, but nothing happens after 10 minutes. Any advice?
[Android General] krispin:
I had the same problem. Had to make factory reset and setup all again
[Android General] yigitanil:
Does it require "radio code" after factory reset?
[Android General] krispin:
If you miss first booting, it ask for the code, you have to confirm something when radio starting and then it skips code entering
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Restart the head unit (press and hold power button until the option shows to do so), make sure you are on a good spot with good internet connection, and now try to unhide option.

If that doesn't work, then the code might be wrong.

in case hondahack or viper4android messes something up, is it possible to reset the whole headunit to factory settings?
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Yes. Refer to your car manual on doing a factory reset.
[Android General] codeage:
The official version of viper4android will not mess up your system. Maybe you have installed a repacked version which includes an incorrect version of busybox.

is there any way to change the look of the original menus and apps? I mean, I would like to theme mostly the original AUDIO app, so it can have a more "material" look.

more sound on waze when I listen to music from a usb stick

Hello,

I installed the HH Pro version on my CRV Hybrid 2019 and Waze works fine except that when I listen to music from a USB stick, the waze guiding voice volume is very low while the waze audio settings and volume guidance are at most

I enabled audio navigation compatibility and set the volume reduction to 0 (0-10) so that the music (USB) decreases but still the voice of waze remains very low.

It would be almost necessary that the volume reduction is -10 for waze guidance are audible when I listen to music USB.

Is there any way to get more sound on waze when I listen to music from a usb stick ?

Sorry for the bad translation of my French
[Android General] dublus:
At the moment Waze is speaking you can adjust the volume and that adjustment will only affect Waze.
[Android General] maestro78:
Yes I tried to mount the sound only when there are instructions waze but it's not more than 11. Finally it's the sound of music that does not decline enough during the audio guidance
[Android General] dublus:
I believe the audio reduction setting means 10 is the MOST REDUCED (lowest volume) so setting it to 0 would give the least reduced volume. Did you try changing it to 10? I could be wrong because I haven't used that setting.

Adding "full version" of Google Assistant" to search for YouTube videos

Im using the latest public release (non-beta) app or Honda Hack. Does anyone know if it's possible to install Google Assistant (separate from the integrated Android Auto version) so we can ask Google to play a certain YouTube video? The Android Auto version won't let us do this. Better yet, map the Google Assistant shortcut to a custom Steering Wheel key?

I've never tried using the Steering Wheel key remap feature of Honda Hack.

Am I the first person in the world to ever do this? If not, maybe someone could tell me if this would interfere with the existing Google Assistant that's integrated into Android Auto.

[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
finally had time to do the hondahack + install viper4android, here's just a short summary:

hondahack took me 6mins until it was installed (via browser).

for viper4android you need (install it in the following order):

- supersu apk: just for whitelisting apps (hondahack did the rooting)

- busybox apk (stericson version): i tried it without busybox, but viper4android is complaining then -> busybox is needed. dont forget to open busybox and click install.

- viper4android from http://www.autohack.org/apk/ (VIPER4Android 2.5.0.5)

i put those apps on my usb drive. via hondahack you can install apps from a storage device.

after installing viper4android, it asked me to install the driver. did that and rebooted.

then i went to the viper settings and set "lock effect mode" to headset. after that you have to edit your settings in the headset tab.

tested on a civic (eu, 2018) with premium sound system.

*edit*

i was using the following supersu and busybox:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79246951&postcount=2479

It is not possible. The link is wildly outdated and not relevant. There is no technique to use.

Assistant requires 5.0 and even when the latest Play Services are installed on the headunit, the option is not offered.

Remap Map key in CR-V

Honda Hack is a great application. I use it on CR-V 2019 and I have one question. Is it possible to remap "Map" button from Garmin maps to Android Auto application? There is no shortcut to Android auto and I have to click Home and then search for Android auto application. It would be great to remap "Map" shortcut to Android auto. It is possible to remap "Map" shortcut to any application, but Android Auto is not shown in list of available applications :(

[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] based on what's going around in the thread, can Viper and its prereqs (SuperSu? Busybox?) be added to the install repo?
[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
would be great, since the headunit has a massive bass-cut-off by default and you can easily fix that by using viper4android.

audio is way better with it.

its also a bit confusing to gather all the needed prereqs.

Does your eq setup stay persistent regardless of bluetooth,xm radio, regular radio, android auto etc and can you still use the factory eq to mess with the sub settings? if so then I will definitely install the honda hack on my head unit to clean up the sound and the disappointing eq setup from factory
[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
i didnt do much testing due to time limitations (will test more tomorrow). but i tested bluetooth and music via usb-stick, both worked.

i also was able to use the default eq together with viper4android.

so you have indeed two equalizers (default + viper). viper wont replace the default-honda eq.

theres also a bass boost setting on viper, which can boost certain frequencies between 0-100hz (selectable).

this really helps the massive bass-cut-off.
