[Android General] riccardone1:
thank you Codeage for the work done. I installed the pro version and I tried it for a short time but I had the following problems:

- continue reboots

- restart when you enable wifi

- the handbrake bypass does not work

- climate control does not work (external button)

Today I try to do a clean installation and then I'll let you know.

Civic 2017
[Android General] codeage:
Hi, please launch Honda Hack, go to Install and uninstall apps, then click Install Honda Installer to Install a permanent installer. If the installation is successful, you can go to HOME > Settings > System and click Factory Data Reset. After the head unit is rebooted, you can reinstall Honda Hack online to see if the problem could be solved.
[Android General] riccardone1:
now work fine but whitelist has been reset and apps do not start with the moving drive.

I tried to run the Bypass parking brake but the install button is inactive

Do I need to install the whitelist with the old procedure?
[Android General] codeage:
Did you installed any app which has overlay windows? The package installer will make the install button inactive if it found any overlay window on the screen.
[Android General] riccardone1:
it's possible, maybe speed camera (the exit button is active yet)

thanks

[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] I get "app not installed" error when using APKPure to install apps any idea how to solve this?
[Android General] codeage:
You can not install apps directly due to the system restrictions. You can install the Honda Hack app ( download link is in the OP) first and use it to Install other downloaded apk files.
[Android General] the1dynasty:
Are there any apps we can clean up from the system to make this HU faster?? The 1GB RAM doesn't help, I'm sure... But any little bit helps...
[Android General] AliGT83:
Since the head unit pretty much controls the entire car, I wouldn't mess with it.
[Android General] the1dynasty:
Man this HU is crippled by the hardware... I feel there is nothing to save it unless the bootloader can somehow be unlocked and we install a custom version of Android Oreo GO... Everything is just slow lol... I managed to install Nova Launcher as a default Launcher... Gotta keep playing with it some more... I tried a few of the Google "Go" apps since they're lighter versions designed for 1GB RAM devices... still doesn't help lol...
[Android General] melsawah:
Use lspeed and root master pro, and root essentials they helped me speed up the HU
[Android General] riccardone1:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]

I did a factory reset and now everything works fine. :D

A suggestion for the next developments:

- tomtom go installation

- google services

- automatic execution of multiple apps (hondahack)

thanks codeage !! :good:
[Android General] codeage:
Glad to know it works. Where did you download tomtom go from? I could not find a download link on the official website. I have downloaded one from apkpure but it always says can’t connect to tomtom.

Spotify problem

Hi,

I did all the installation without problem, I bought the pro version to be quiet, I installed some application without problem but ... I have a problem for the spotify application. I install it, but when I run it I have a black screen and nothing. Do you have an idea ?

thank you
[Android General] panchox:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]

Here are some ideas for HondaHack that I think everyone would appreciate.

-Steering Wheel remapping:

--Back action

--Open Reverse Camera (Can be done through Tasker)

--Tasker Integration

--Center button can't be remapped if I start the car, it is detected if it's in accesory mode.

-Automatic Start App

--Tasker Integration or multiple apps with options like wait.

-DSP/EQ Flat

--An option to have it automatically instead of a task or manual sequence.

Thank you.
[Android General] the1dynasty:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] might I suggest a reboot button in the HondaHack app? It's easier than holding the power button for 5 seconds lol...

Also, does anyone know of any good launcher apps to replace the factory UI? I found one called Car Launcher AG but I can't configure the radio to open when I press the radio/music button...
[Android General] tdiman:
Unlocking usually follows rooting eventually... I think more challenging will be interacting with the car ECU to change feature settings. What sort of custom interface/drivers are used for reading and writing changes... Maybe a custom kernel (for which the source isn't available)... These will be the bigger barriers. Maybe you need a dual boot solution then? Starts to get complicated.

Perhaps more realistically, people will be able to dig into the Android system and tweak it... Would love to get ahold of a working head unit wireless Android auto APK for example...
[Android General] the1dynasty:
So what you're saying is, it might be easier to rip out the HU and solder some new RAM on to it? :D
[Android General] tdiman:
You joke, but this is basically how I upgraded my 16 color VGA video card to SVGA. You can work on a new version of Android with an old kernel, but it's challenging. If we are lucky it could be something that the settings can be read from or written to a serial bus using some standard protocol or open source driver. I'm by no means a car systems expert though there's some smarter than I people reverse engineering internal car communication systems and doing fun things like modifying steering, gas and breaking and interfacing with the imid display.
[Android General] euchreking:
Some Super Easy Tips

So I spent some time playing with this today, and I have a few super easy tips for y'all:

Firstly, this has already been said, but I'll reiterate it here so that people see it. I'm sure many of you want to use Spotify... you absolutely can, but you must get the version 5.5.0 app. Look for it on your favorite APK site

I installed Yalp to get my APKs (except Spotify). It pulls them from the Play Store. DO NOT try to install APKs from Yalp though. Download in Yalp, then install in Honda Hack. Link: f-droid.org/packages/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore

If you are a distracted driver (which is aided by the wonderful help of Honda LKAS) and wish to open a keyboard, you can download a new keyboard and set it up in the regular android settings menu (settings->detailed settings). I prefer Gboard. This will allow you to type when the car is moving, because the default (AOSP) keyboard is clearly modified by Honda (it is not usable when the car is moving, and this is not changeable by the bypass brake detection feature of Honda Hack).

For those of you that are complaining about speed of the device: Download "Advanced Task Manager" (from Yalp???). An old friend from the days of Honeycomb ;). It comes with a handy widget that automagically kills all running apps. Set the Honda Hack, your keyboard, and the default honda apps (those not installed by you) to be ignored by Advanced Task Manager. Then put the aforementioned widget on your home screen, and give it a tap whenever things start getting a bit slow.
[Android General] dreadlk:
Hi Codeage just one simple suggestion.

I think you should change the name of the Icon from Honda Hack to something less obvious.

I know most of the guys at the service centers are not all that savvy but they will probably notice apps installed and wonder how they got there. The thing is if they see one named Honda Hack they could use that as an excuse to void a persons warranty.

Just something to think about.
[Android General] tdiman:
I second this.
[Android General] khema:
me too
[Android General] flyingmedic:
I'd definitely appreciate this as well.
[Android General] codeage:
Personally, I will make sure Honda Installer is installed and then do a factory resetting before go to the service center. Honda Installer is system app and will not be affected so I can use it to reinstall Honda Hack and other apps within 15 minutes.
[Android General] flyingmedic:
Thanks for that advice codeage. I’ve read all (70ish) pages in this thread, and I’m unclear about just one thing. I’d normally just test it, but I was rear ended New Year’s Eve so car is in the shop. When I haul my laptop out to my car and using your Honda Hack app (I presume premium is accessed through app) that after its successfully rooted, to install apps, everything references SD (which my 16 CRV doesn’t have) or USB drive. Couldn’t I just also install directly from my laptop to the HU?

Thanks in advance....awesome work! ?
[Android General] codeage:
Sure, I will add the reboot function in the next version. AFAK, we can not use custom launchers on this system because some import services must be initialized by the built-in launcher.
[Android General] codeage:
I think 16 CRV should have USB drives. Anyway, you can download apk file directly using the built in browser and install it using Honda Hack.
[Android General] flyingmedic:
Usb drives it does. It’s just missing any sort of SD slot. Nav updates are by CD.

Thanks again.
[Android General] feuerwehr7:
Where can I get the PRO version from?

I would like to get the pro version. Where do I have to go to obtain the PRO version?
[Android General] codeage:
Thanks man, it’s a good idea to add Tasker Integration.
[Android General] codeage:
Please click the Upgrade to pro entry in the main window.
[Android General] the1dynasty:
I've noticed that some services and buttons do not work unless you launch the built-in launcher first... but I've installed Nova Launcher and that one allows me to create shortcuts for an Activity on the home screen... So I can access that from the shortcut...

I wonder if there's a way to initiate those services with the push of a button or with something like Tasker?? This way a custom launcher can be loaded while that other stuff loads in the bg...
[Android General] feuerwehr7:

[Android General] SonyUSA:
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] The parking brake thing doesn't work for app drawer scrolling or the keyboard, it was the first option I chose after installing Honda Hack over ADB. Is this intended? If so, can I use a keyboard replacement of some type to replaced the in-motion-locked one?
[Android General] mattapperson:
Does this work on the 2018 Accord? Has anyone tried it yet?
[Android General] feuerwehr7:
Got it

Got it THANKS
[Android General] DaveTO:
It all depends on the version of your kernel. If you've got the new kernel (I think its anything past 09/2017) then the developer unlock code (i.e. 1423) won't work.

I'm in the same boat with my 2018 CRV. I guess for now we wait.
[Android General] basf:
Very much easier with GUI. The installation from the unit itself not 100% success which is testing more now.
[Android General] feuerwehr7:

[Android General] basf:
I did not see build date but only built number. Kernel date in March 2017.
[Android General] flyingmedic:
Thanks. Your build date would be on your door jamb VIN sticker (as well as other spots). No worries though, kernel date is very helpful, thanks.
[Android General] du1sbo:
Also I have a 2017 Pilot, codeage, if you need me to test just let me know. Thanks
[Android General] codeage:
The root tool in this post does not work on Pilot. To root your Pilot, please refer to this post: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-how-to-gain-root-shell-2016-honda-t3487644

Copy that Sir, I'll read that thread, and will go with your Honda Hack app, and yes I will definitely buy the pro version to support all the hard work you put in this app. Thanks :)
[Android General] VNasty:
I did a search in this thread and didn't find anything. Does anyone think it will be possible to install the Sirius/XM app into a 2018 Accord Sport model in the future? This particular model doesn't come with Sirius/XM, yet it's the same 8 inch infotainment unit that the higher end models have and they all have Sirius/XM. I assume Honda just left it out?

Hoping maybe they'll be a way to get it back in if I buy one. I know can stream Sirius/XM from my phone or tablet through the car audio system, but it's not as fluid and perhaps a tad dangerous as my eyes always have to glance at phone or tablet. Just looking around I don't see this done or asked about on 17 models. Maybe I missed it.

Awesome site! Thank you in advance!
[Android General] EricDET:
You can add native functionality for around $300. A lot easier than using all that data for streaming.
[Android General] VNasty:
Can you guide on how to add the native functionality? I've searched everywhere and found nothing. And yes I agree it would be way better than streaming and using all that data. Would that $300 option be exactly like it came with Sirius/XM? I assume yes since you said native functionality. That would be ideal! I'm trying to find out if the Sport models without Sirius/XM are still wired for it. That would be nice and make things easier.

Thank you!
[Android General] EricDET:

[Android General] elviso33:
Hi Codeage and All,

I've been testing the hondahack app by Codeage on my 2017 pilot with H/S and can confirm that many aspects work but at least one item does not.

Works:

- installation/uninstallation of apps

- external usb access (needed to install full US maps for Sygic)

- reset whitelist and factory default to original

- forced landscape

Doesn't work:

- Bypass parking brake (I tried to activate it and not only did it not work but it disappeared from the list)

Not tried:

- steering wheel remapping

All in all great work [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION]. :good:

I really wanted the usb drive access to work and if you recall I had some issues with sygic crashing and I found after resetting back to factory and reinstalling, either the USB drive itself or USB 3.0 or the size or the combination of all the factors caused the crashing once sygic was moved to the USB. The one that crashed was a Kingston USB 3.0 64GB drive. However, when I switched to a cheap USB 2.0 PNY 16GB, everything worked well. I did however, need to allow sygic to crash so the software can "reset" itself. I will try a larger flash drive with movies (installed Plex) and see if I can figure out the issue.

BTW, has anyone gotten Sygic to provide directions over the FM radio? So far it can only provide voice prompts when in the audio app source which drives me nuts because at start it always tries to launch the built in browser.

Anyway thanks again codeage.

[Android General] riccardone1:
do a factory reset and reinstall everything. I solved this way
[Android General] ramnkc:
Factory reset will solve navigation software and listen radio at the same time? Anyone can confirm? As I really doubt it.
[Android General] riccardone1:
my message is for elviso33
[Android General] AliGT83:
under waze audio settings, set output to phone speakers.
[Android General] simon_lefisch:
Just leave Sygic installed on the HU and tell Sygic that maps are located on the USB drive. That’s what I’ve done and have never had Sygic crash.
[Android General] codeage:
Polid doesn’t need the Bypass parking brake patch so the option is hidden on pilot.

To reset an app, please select Install and uninstall apps > uninstall apps > click one of the app > clear data.

I think, to make the navigation directions available when using other audio sources (usb, bluetooth etc.), we have to decompile and modify the code of navigation app.

I get all the way to the last step and change from host to device, plug in my laptop to the USB and it doesn't connect. The Honda hack program says it can't connect and to make sure I've done USB debugging and changed modes, I've done all that. What am I doing wrong? When I plug in the USB cord on my computer it recognizes it as a CD ROM device.

Please check out the error log when it says failed to connect.

Hey guys, I tried searching but couldn't find much, so sorry in advance if someone has solved this. Im having an issue with getting any flash drive to be read, i have ES File Explorer as well as X-Plore... both of them see the usb drive but cannot access the files. Is there a fix for this that i'm just to dumb to figure out!? :p

Thanks for the help.
[Android General] stw500:
Installing the Honda Hack App leads to losing the warranty probably. So is there a way to return all changes, so the dealer won't see anything in case of inspection or repairing?
[Android General] egodriver07:
Yeah, all it says is no matching devices found. On the infotainment screen under USB status it says disconnected. I'm using a USB media transfer cable, it's all I have, is it something with the cable or my laptop? The laptop senses SOMETHING is plugged in, just doesn't connect to it.

Thanks for this. Have followed the steps and all installed. Just a few questions. When I turn the key now, it comes up with "No Device Connected" is this down to the setting on the USB? Should I change it back to the other option?

Also when I click "Download Apps" it opens a dropbox page, but can't seem to download any of the apps in there?

[Android General] ramnkc:
i recalled i saw a thread which there are a permission app (by s_mike from CMDROID.com) able to configure apps with permission settings which able to achieve this... but i tried installed it to our HU and its not working... maybe it had been develop for android 4.0.4.
[Android General] dreadlk:
Yes there is a way to do it. Codeage mentioned that a reset would put it back to normal. I have not even tried all of this yet so I have not researched the details nor do I know how to backup the system so that an easy restore is possible.

All I can tell you is that there is a way so go ahead and do what your hack and when Codeage gets some time he will give us detailed instructions.
[Android General] stw500:
Well, in the description is said, that a factory reset won't affect the Honda Hack App, it stays installed. So either the description or codeage is wrong. Because the app is installed as system app we would at least need a way to remove a system app. This would require root privileges that we don't have at the moment.
[Android General] codeage:
Honda Install is a system app and Honda Hack is a normal app. After removing Honda installer, there should be only one extra file remaining in the system: /system/xbin/su. I doubt people would notice it. Anyway, if you want to remove the su file, you can install SuperSU > remove Honda Installer > Remove root in SuperSU > Factory reset.
[Android General] stw500:
Then I was wrong, thank you for explaining. The Honda Installer App can be deinstalled easily like any other app, although it is a system app? Or how can it be done?

[Android General] carterson:
Do you mean "root-log.txt" file? If it is, I didnt see "root-log.txt" file inside the rootme folder. I have done it few times but still get the same problem even though I restarted the head unit and also did a factory reset before doing it.

After the bootloop thing and restart by itself, I still can access the head unit via adb without changing the usb mode to "device".
[Android General] codeage:
I believe there must be some protection service running in the background to prevent attempts to remount the /system partition, just like Sony RIC service doing. To remount the /system partition on a Sony Xperia, people have to disable the RIC service first. https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/lb-definitive-root-remount-reboot-fix-t2317432

I do not know why I could bypass the protection, maybe just because of good luck.:cool:

Could you please tell me how to install the adb USB driver on Windows? Some people here using Windows are having trouble to install the USB driver.

Thank you! My navigation app has an option to "lower the music" instead of "stop" it so there seems no conflicts on my car. For other navigation apps maybe we have to modify the XML to make them work together with music apps.

I did it without nefaroius. If You have root privileges just copy whitelist to tmp, change rights to 444, pull it via adb , modify on Your PC, replace via adb by push, copy to /data/data and restart system.
[Android General] codeage:
Yes, you can install apps without rooting the device. The disadvantage is that you cannot use the one-click installation script.
