I can't imagine a non-root, non-system app bricking the HU. At least not a hard brick.

Use Yalp. It checks compatibility and whether Play Services are required. Never been a fan of Apkpure. Plus, Yalp is free-libre and open source through F-Droid. It's very safe code.

The HH repos are not necessarily the latest versions of apps that work on the headunit. Maybe the best supported version in a few cases like Waze though. Waze in particular has trouble rendering backgrounds in the latest offered versions. The OpenGL ES support in the app might've changed somehow. Apps like Chrome, Netflix, MX Player, etc don't seem to care about version.

But be careful with the root modes (one click download, one click install) and avoid setting updaters or apps as system apps.

Finally got my hands on the MY16ADA (Mitsubishi headunit) GPL source release. It had been inexplicably down for months.

Looks like it's just the Bluetooth stack. I was hoping for a kernel to be in there, but it's omission is either intentional or a reflection of no modifications being made to it.

Only thing remotely worth pursuing with this would be to see whether a serial connection is possible over Bluetooth, but even then, that's probably something we'd want at boot-time and over a wire in the back in the headunit. I remember [MENTION=4089968]jevinskie[/MENTION] being particularly interested in reverse-engineering the headunit.

Interestingly, it's dated October 2018.

Hi the1dynasty,

Any update on your issue?
[Android General] the1dynasty:
yeah, still bricked... getting it replaced soon hopefully!

I would really just love to get an Android HU but I have the Type R and I hear the Android radios all lack the amplifier connection... I'd really rather like to keep things as stock as possible but I hate our HU lol... I want that Tesla-style HU but nobody wants to experiment with buying one for our cars... So the feedback is minimal/non-existent...

I had the same problem, but after leaving car for a night everything went back to normal.

This problem occurred in my car after installing some apk from Honda Hack app.

If patience won't help maybe you should try this:

http://www.autohack.org/how-to-recover-your-system-if-it-fails-to-start/
[Android General] LLStarks:
If you go to Honda to get your turbo engine and climate unit fixed, make sure to use the hide function of Honda Hack. Honda has internal memos for their techs about detecting Honda Hack. Repairs may not be covered if they see it installed.

Maintenance notices are going out but it's not a recall yet. Software updates are mentioned, but that may be for controllers within the car rather than the headunit.

I don't know if HH being installed presents any problems if Honda does try to update the headunit.
[Android General] tom1807:
Stupid question, are you referring with v4.8.1 to HH or Nova Launcher?

Cheers

Tom
[Android General] LLStarks:
He's referring to HH.

At any rate, don't bother with Nova. If you're looking for an alternative launcher to install on the headunit, AutoMate works surprisingly well.

Closest thing the car can get to a Material Design interface and it looks cool as hell. Biggest surprise of all is that it integrates well with the dialer and map apps in addition to the the app comes with. Can probably also setup shortcuts for the radio and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.
[Android General] kurudisease:
Guys, I would like to ask for help. I've got a 2017 Civic SportPlus, HH pro installed. Yesterday I updated Waze from apkmirror, as the former version did not supported highway vignettes and started to plan routes avoiding highways. Regrettably map does not render in the new waze version. I've cleared app data, cache, reinstalled the apk for no avail.

Did any of you run into this problem already and has a solution?

Thank you in advance,
[Android General] Lenster45:
Same happened to me.

AFAIK. the newer versions of WAZE support Android 4.3 or higher. Honda head unit is 4.2.2. You should only install an older version of WAZE like the one that you can install online through HH. APKPURE can display older versions and you can check the Android requirements before choose the one to install.

I run SYGIC from my head unit and when I want to uses MAPS or WAZE, I run them through Android Auto with my phone connected via USB.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Is it really a minversion issue? Would any of [MENTION=4386609]the1dynasty[/MENTION]'s build.prop edits concerning the GPU or GLES/EGL help?

If Waze requires 4.3, I'd expect the manifest to reflect that and for the headunit to refuse installation.
[Android General] tom1807:
I was afraid that this was the case. I am still stuck on 4.6.3 Pro and every time I check for an update on my Honda unit (CRV-17) it says I am on the last version.

Was hoping that I can download a newer version from http://www.autohack.org/root/, but it asks for an authorization code and neither my device code or my registration key are working. I maybe missed a post in this thread which mentioned that, so any help how I can update from v4.6.3 to 4.8.1 would be appreciated.

I am fine with my original user interface, but can check into Automate, sounds interesting. Thanks for the link.

Hmmm... I had my head unit replaced due to the touch screen issue (yes, I removed all traces of Honda hack, including clearing the browser cache and history), and now Honda Hack doesn't want to install via the browser method. the color dots move around... sometimes choppy, other time smooth, and just nothing happens after 15min. Tried 3 times so far. Oh and the last time, I waited 30min.

Car: Honda Civic 2016 EX

Kernel version: 3.1.10+

Model Number: MY16ADA

Android: 4.2.2

Build Number: 1.F190.25

Any suggestions?

I guess Honda managed to blocked it :(
[Android General] LLStarks:
Honda Hack already does this. Install Waze and enable the instrument cluster option in Honda Hack's navigation settings.

Honda Hack has been weird about this. Some updates are done in the app center, some are done when checking for updates.

No, that's an older firmware and nothing has been blocked. Email codeage and tell him that you have a new headunit. I ran into this once after resetting my headunit. The Honda Hack database sees your car as a new vehicle and will reject the auth code.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Last time I tried it didn't work (with the previous head unit). It would seem that in the US, Navigation is enabled (you have the option in the instrument panel), in Canada, it seems, that they took the extra step to remove it for the 2016 model with the exception of the Touring model. Not sure on the 2017 model, but can confirm that the 2018 model in Canada has it on all trims with this large display.

Oh ok thanks!

Just picked up my 2018 SI Monday, I am familiar with modding devices just nothing below android 6.0 and I'm a Samsung fan boy lol, but question is those of us that have had to use the browser to gain root I had an idea for build prop edit you think the adb line:persist.service.adb.enable=1 would work to allow adb?

And what is the dev name of the root explorer you speak of I have found many out there. Would the file manager offered in the Honda hack app be sufficient enough. I have my edited build prop I did on the PC with notepad ready to go and renamed to build.bak.bak to push to system when I have a chance to load my USB back into the car, more so just wanted to verify the root explorer app.:good::highfive::good:

Thanks
[Android General] toolhas4degrees:
The app is a blue file cabinet named root explorer in playstore author is speed software
[Android General] sawixso81:
Thanks for that,:good::highfive::good: any thought on the prop line I mentioned to enable adb with out the need to developer options?
[Android General] toolhas4degrees:
Even with prob still think you need Dev for flag I believe. But I change anim transitions etc to .5bfor speed so I use sev options anyway
[Android General] sawixso81:
As far as I have read I dont think the 2018 SI have access to dev mode I would love to change my animation scales too lol that would help out alot as well, but hey thanks for the quick info:good::highfive::good:

Not sure if it has been mentioned(still cruising the 226 pages of this thread) but those that have at least to my knowledge a 2018 civic si and you have Honda hack installed and still want access to the developer options such as changing the animation scales use the good old Googler and look up quick short cut maker(also in the playstore) install it and open them look for the settings apk and a bunch of sub links appear, from there look for developer options(there will be two choose the first one)from there another menu pops up look for an option to try and it should open up dev options.:good::highfive::good:

These pics are from my s8 but it looks the same on the headunit
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
So I re-installed my Honda Hack Pro with a new code that codeage gave me for my new Head Unit for the Civic 2016 EX (Canada), and it went well.

Strangely though, despite having disabled auto-app-update in the PlayStore, it regardless decided to do an update of Waze (which doesn't work with the Android), and it decided to do it while I was uninstalling the PlayStore as I got everything I needed. Funny enough, nothing broke (beside Waze that doesn't show the map anymore as it got updated after the OS finished the update), Honda Hacks doesn't see PlayStore installed anymore, but it is still installed and running. Rebooting the Head Unit didn't fix this.. I guess tomorrow, I'll install the Play Store again, and uninstall it.

All to say, is that it loos like there is a bug in the old Play Store that ignores the auto-update of apps flag. So just keep in mind for all.

Anyway, looks like it will be an easy fix on my side.

What I did want to point out though, is that Turn-by-turn with Waze still doesn't work despite enabling and disabling multiple times and several reboots of the Head Units.

It feels like the odometer area (instrument panel) screen is on a separate computer from the Head Unit, and it needs to unlock the Navigation option. As you can edit the instrument panel icons from the Head Unit, and there is a locked out Enable Map options which I mentioned and showed on my previous post, there must be a command that Honda Hack can discover and send to it to unlock this feature.

Hello Friends!

I sent this message to Codeage yesterday but as I didn't receive reply yet and I'm a little impatient, I would like to know if you already have the answers.

I would like to buy the PRO version of the Honda Hack for my 2017 Civic assembled in Honda Brazil, but first would it be possible you confirm the following points?:

Do you think I will have some problem with the Honda warranty?

Would it work for the following specs version of Honda android?

Compilation: 1.F194.44

What happens with Android Auto compatibility after the hacking process? How exactly will I make a phone call after I hack the unit? How will I select a contact to call? I mean, will I enter a contact app in the Honda Android, select the name of the person i wish to call and then use phone bluetooth as normal? (automatically muting the other applications, such as waze, music player, etc). Will any contact app work in the hacked Honda Android? (I normally use simpler (simplercontacts com).

Pls let me know!

Thanks!

Regards,
[Android General] LLStarks:
In case anyone is curious, the Waze black screen regression occurred between 4.35.0.19 and 4.35.1. Latest version offered by Hond Hack is 4.34.1. You can update using apkmirror if you want.

I'll open a bug with the Waze team.

1. You'll want to use the hide function of the app whenever you go into maintenance at Honda. If you brick your headunit using Honda Hack, it may not be covered.

2. Yes.

3. Android Auto and BT calling are not affected. There's a built-in contacts app that comes with the car. A 3rd party one may work, but I haven't seen anyone try.
[Android General] Resoluciones:
Thank you very much LLStarks for your reply!!!

Regarding the

built-in contacts app

; will the contacts sync with my google contacts, right? Currently Honda Unit does not allow me to configure my google account, I've tried with developer mode also. So I hope that option would be available after hacking the unit, I think I've seen that in a video.

I have lots of notes in my contacts, which I update constantly after I speak with them, will I see those notes normally on the honda screen with that built-in contacts app I suppose, then. Also, I have thousands contacts in my google account, I hope that won't make the Honda unit laggy. That's the most important feature for me. In case affirmative I'll buy it immediately! :good::good:

Best regards.
[Android General] LLStarks:
You seem to have the wrong idea. It's just a basic phonebook functionality just like any other car with Bluetooth over the past decade. It reflects whatever contacts you have on your phone. There's nothing synced independently. I doubt you will see your notes in the car.
[Android General] Resoluciones:
Ok, but I've seen in different places in internet that you can install Google Account Manager to sync your google account with the Hacked Unit, in case some apps in the unit requests that synchronization (maybe the built-in phonebook app is very basic and cannot do that job, but maybe I found another app that works, but first of all It's important to have the

Google Account Manager installed and working with Honda Hack

, to sync the data in case that is required by any app using the internet from the phone).

Can you confirm that? Sorry for so many questions.
[Android General] tom1807:
You have maybe the wrong impression of the Honda Unit. I have also over 1000 contacts in my mobile, and they all show up without lagging. It uses the standard Google Account, I didn't have to configure anything except tell the Honda Unit to import my phonebook. The Honda Hack won't enable any further options for Phonebook in the Honda Unit or will add any functionality.

After synchronizing with the Honda Unit you have additional options like storing a Voice Tag, navigate in Google Maps to contacts and call your Contacts from the Honda Unit. The notes won't show up, but this is probably more a limitation of Android running on the Honda Unit.

It was for me a no-brainer to buy Honda Hack, first rooting the Honda Hack to access the file system, second for some goodies like for example not have to press ok every time the Honda Unit shows its warning.

Beside, I think when you drive and talk with your contacts, you should not update your notes ;)

Cheers

Tom
[Android General] LLStarks:
Yes, you can install the Account Manager, but treat it as a subset of the overall Play Services suite of features. It's more of an authentication tool than a syncing tool. The syncing menu doesn't seem to function at all unless Google Services Framework 4.1.2 (this is not Play Services) is also installed. And even then, I'm not sure if it works.
[Android General] Resoluciones:
[/COLOR]

YES, I can confirm it worked! it synced all my google keep notes, which I found amazing when I saw that, but the lag killed the unit unfortunately, I will reinstall everything again, now.

Tom. I already bought it, got the default apps installed already, they were working (I didn't tried it with engine started yet). I had some difficult having my account synced but then I figured it out and it seemed OK.

Then I had the bad idea to install google keep and the unit started to be very laggy and then I restarted and I'm in the "software update" loop, which I think I will solve easy with the recover option stated in the Dev site.

I will install everything all over again (except google keep) and they I will start investigating regarding the contact app. I think you was referring to the standard phonebook installed by default in the Honda Unit, not inside Honda Hack, not inside Android Auto also. Well... that phonebook does not work for me (I won't use it), as it does not load all the contacts. After I asked for that in Honda Uruguay some time ago, they told me that the phonebook won't load contacts with notes, only standard contacts (i.e. SIM/Phone contacts). I normally use the Android Auto contact, which loads all the contacts from google contacts (from the mobile) but it lacks of search functionality, you have to search manually and it's not practical and it's a little dangerous, you can't search with the microphone neither. So that is what I am trying to solve, searching and researching since sometime ago and I ended here, maybe I can solve it with the Honda Hack, maybe not.

Luckily I had chosen today (Sunday) to do all these, as I have time for all this installs and reinstalls

NEW EDIT: After the recover I didn't had to reinstall anything, everything was right there, just waiting for my fingers to click. So, I executed keep again and all my notes were there and it seems it's working without lag now, which I found very amazing as I said. I'm trying to find a contacts app that works with android 4.2.2 and with google contacts sync option. i think I will try the google contacts app, which I used time ago. After that I will test everything with the engine running and with android auto on and that will be the ultimate test!
[Android General] LLStarks:
I'm not sure what Keep needs to function properly. Was Account Manager enough?

Be very careful with a full install of Play Services on the headunit. It's not safe unless you take extraordinary measures to control the CPU utilization. Your backup camera may lag uncontrollably.
[Android General] Resoluciones:
Keep just needs to connect to the google account to get the notes in the cloud, so I had to be sure that the google account syncs correctly, which it did. And it does bidirectionally, which is more than great! Something that happened is that I also have images in some notes, at the begging they didn't work, they pointed me to some other software to install in google play, but I think then the lag was so big that it was not installed, but then after the restart the note images are also shown perfect, just as in the mobile.

[IMG="keep"]https://i.postimg.cc/Zq34QbYK/keep.jpg[/IMG]

Regarding the backup camera, I didn't try that yet, I will try it later.

I'll continue with the next step, find a contacts app with google sync! :cool:

Can I install uber driver app if I buy honda hack
[Android General] Resoluciones:
For your info, today I've found:

Google Keep: works OK, syncs OK from and to google account.

Whatsapp: works OK, the only thing is that when you are listening to music, and you receive a whatsapp call the music won't mute, you have to stop music manually or put audio app mode and then you can speak without music, which can be a little complex to do when someone is calling you and you are driving. As I have two sims in my phone I can now have a "main" whatsapp in my phone (SIM1) and a "secondary" whatsapp (SIM2) in my car, which I find really useful for me.

Contacts app: I've tried several today, some of them install and run ok, but I coud not find anyone that gets the contacts (sync) from google. I will continue researching it as I think it's very useful, at least for me.

Browser: at some point the chrome included in the Honda Hack list stopped working, it keeps closing itself automatically, so I will have to look for another lightweight browser. I tried opera mini but it didn't work OK, it was very very laggy. But I'm sure I will find another one soon.

Rear camera: I've tested it a little with apps, music and whatsapp call running and I didn't notice lag, at least at the moment.

Thank you Codeage for this great system that opens more possibilities to us!
