Good too hear probably gonna root mine tonight and mess around with it, and any news on having the eq persistent through all of the different "channels" of xm, Bluetooth and regular radio etc? I can't rember if I saw a post that someone had issues with xm radio and viper
[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
i tested Android Auto meanwhile and viper also works there. i guess you wont have any problems on other sources.

theres also a newer viper version, but unofficial version:

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx

i didnt test that one, but it seems to have slightly different UI. its using the same viper driver like the old official one.
[Android General] LLStarks:
We can't use it.

"Min API 23". Our API is 17.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
I noticed an issue.

I have a USB flash drive inserted into the car USB port (where the cup holder are). I set Spotify to store its cache and downloads there as the HH is limited in storage.

Sadly, every monirning, I notice t-hat Spotify looses the storage setting set, and reverts back using the device internal storage, and I need to switch it back. Seems random. Many times it is fine, and rememebrs the USB flash drive.

CoPilot GPS

Hi Friend,

The latest news I have bought CoPilot GPS for mySamsung S8 Phone Android for 2 $ with lifetime Maps.

Installed it on my Honda Civic 2016 an activation with the same email account, all works well.

Much cheaper, automatic MAPS update when I was in my garage with my Home WIFI am so happy with that.

Anyone need the APK, let me know.

Regards

Zahur

Dont forget to thanks **
[Android General] MistaC4:
Well went ahead and installed the Honda hack on my headunit everything went smoothly, noticed if you killed viper application process with task manager it would turn off the eq effects and would return when reopened, and does this Honda hack automatically enable the "flat eq" output script because even without viper there is a ton more bass and it seems that xm radio dosent seem to change the audio sound with viper but everyother audio source it does, side note anyone tried to flash zip files like audio mods like Dolby Atmos etc? I know we don't have access to recovery yet but I'm sure there are applications that can flash zips without recovery.
[Android General] tdiman:
I'm not sure how many questions, if any, are in this sentence.
[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
interesting!

iam not using xm-radio, since streaming is nearly impossible in germany (bad mobile internet + phone contracts with limited data traffic everywhere).

there's a dspflat apk somewhere on this thread, but some people on the civicx.com forum reported that it wouldnt work.

out-of-box, hondahack wont install/enable dspflat.

tbh, its not needed with viper. :D

i guess iam not touching flashable zips in a while, since we dont have a recovery.

but i guess it should be possible that some app dev could add more equalizer bands on viper (?).
[Android General] darky22:
I didnt get the part where you said DSP Flat wouldnt work. It works good but not for people with Premium Sound option in their civics
[Android General] MistaC4:
Like 3 or 4, I realise now how much of a disaster that post is lol

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Makes sense that when I tried to turn on DSP flat in the hidden menu it did nothing, but with viper installed and bass boost and clarity enabled it's way better then stock already. I would try to be the one to try flashing zips with those apps but with my luck I would end up bricking it lol. But yeah not gonna mess with flashing till we have a recovery or a another option available(if we ever do).
[Android General] MistaC4:
Been digging around hidden menus with Shortcut master and found this On Canadian Civics (like mine) we dont have TPMS for reasons unknown cause it costs no extra money and since its an indirect system it goes through ABS so its completely controlled by software, wondering if there is a way to enable it somehow, as of now theres no option to toggle it, though it probably needs the cluster to have the indicator light for it to function properly unless there is a way to get it to show up on the digital tach on the cluster but as far as I know theres no way to modify it, any one tried something like this before? I will try to find if theres something hidden to enable it, hopefully it dosent require a re-flash of the pcm but the lack of the indicator light on the cluster may be a issue.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
TPMS is a feeature required by law in California (maybe other states but it started in California and know this for sure), and as a result, being a very large population, car manufcature simply decided to have it in all car models in the US. Canada we don't have it, but we do have some intresting trim specs. For example, the US LX, they have the DX trim headunit, which doesn't have this fancy touchscreen and rear camera. So they need to spend a lot more to get the nice big screen.

TPMS require sensors on each tires. It replaces the traditional tire valve with one with a sensor:

Each sensor runs on battery.

To enable it, it probably need a firmware update or the special dealership software that can communicate with the infotainment it is connected to (probably via USB) to unlock it. Same with Map feature, and even enabling Navigation (which, in Canada, for the 2016 model, only the Touring and Type-R has it enabled by default, as they have, as option the Garmin Map option for a nice extra. LX, EX and EX-T doesn't have. Later models do. So, if like me, you have the 2016 non-touring, you can't enjoy Waze navigation integration in the dash. And no one seem to care to help finding ways to enable it).

And like you said, no light indicate on the dash.

P.S: be careful playing the menu. They are things are things that don't have cancel or undo, and you may need to bring it to teh dealership to have it recalibrate to fix, like the side camera, if you have it. And those things are not cheap services. So be careful what you hit with your finger.
[Android General] MistaC4:
It's funny that DRL isn't madatory in the states but TPMS is, even so it literally would cost them nothing to have had these cars with tpms because it is completely software based because actually The TPMS system for these Honda's mostly consist of a indirect system which goes through the ABS to look at wheel speed and variances between them, IE if one tire looses air pressure it's diameter becomes smaller and then rotates faster then the other 3 and it will trip the warning light indicating that a tire is low, that is also why when there is a fault with the ABS system TPMS does not work. Luckily I have a 19 Si so it already has the maps dash integration and I don't use Waze , yeah didn't bother with messing around with the stuff I knew was gonna cause issues, most of those short cuts you can get through the hidden menus any ways was just wondering if anyone has stumbled upon more hidden settings because there really isn't a dedicated thread to this kind of stuff.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Well in the car manufacturing world, every penny count. Because it is millions of dollars at the end. And also, a few dollars here and there saved on the car, is also hundreds of dollars, and possibly even a thousand dollar, which can make a car not price competitive anymore. Considering that cars cost more in Canada for various reasons also, it doesn't help anything having a more expensive car in the end.

Hi

I was going to purchase the Honda hack but after reading all the pages wondering if I should. My question is if i am not going to do any mods just install a music app that is better than the factory one, is the hack stable on a day to day basis? I'm worried I am going to have endless problems. I guess I am after a general concesus if the hack is ok.

[Android General] Ludeape:
its stable as long as you dont try to install google play, or any apps that require root..
[Android General] koush1:
HI,

So a music player app should be ok. Thanks for the reassurance.

Koush
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
It is actually very stable.

That said, the big issue is the more the hardware limitation and the the infotainment and the OS (very old version of Android).

The device only has 1GB of RAM, and the very old CPU it sports (Tegra 3 and also it was downclocked to 900MHz for some reason) .

If you need an app from the Play Store.

Install the Google Play store things (found in the Honda Hack app), install your app, and then remove the Google services. The Google services and play store is very taxing on the system, you'll definitely notice a massive slow down once installed.

The device will handle Waze and Spotify, but I would say, running both at the same time, is the limit the hardware.
[Android General] koush1:
Hi,

I was going to install poweramp as my default music player, but it requires authentication when ever the app starts, so I need to install Google Account Manager. I can get it from apkpure so don't need to download Google Play. Would the account manager slow the system down also? Would it be better to install a music app that does not need authentication?

Thanks

[Android General] LLStarks:
Account manager is in the Honda Hack app repo.
[Android General] koush1:
ok thanks. Does Google account manager also slow down the system?
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
What worked for me, although it's kind of a pain in the ass, was

1: changing the car settings to "remember" the settings on restart

2: making sure to close Spotify through task Manager before you turn the car off and

3: waiting a little bit before opening Spotify when you start the car(I wait till the GPS icon on the HU stops blinking, just as a reference point).

Hope it works for you.
[Android General] LLStarks:
Not that I've seen.
[Android General] speedyranger:
Hi. I installed the last version of HH... and now I'm stuck on recovery.

I tried to reboot without any result. Will reboot into recovery again.

The same with wipe cache and factory reset.

Any hint?

Thanks in advance!

[Android General] krispin:
Leave the car for more than 30 minutes. It will boot normally than.
[Android General] speedyranger:

This morning booted normally.

Strangely because I do the wipe cache and data/factory reset and all applications still are here[emoji15]

[MENTION=266494]coda[/MENTION]ge Has anyone tried installing Amazon Music with any success? I tried spotify and I don't care for it
[Android General] Ludeape:
i tried several versions of amazon music and could not get it working.. you can access via browser, but its painfully slow :(
[Android General] apache07x:
Too bad we can't get it working to install on the head unit. I like it a lot better than Spotify. I can tether it from the phone but then your sitting for 2 to 3 minutes waiting for everything to connect. I do delivery part time so time is money. I don't want to renew Sirius at $22 a month when Amazon is half the price and just as good unless you like Howard. A lot! I personally do not like him or any of thier DJs that much.
[Android General] franzfume:
Tryed same method.

But when I change sound parameters in Viper sound from HU dont change.

Of course all master switch are ON.

Any help?

[MENTION=6801133]Ludeape[/MENTION] I got a version of Amazon music to install and update but it didn't see the USB drive. You know of anyway to fix that?
[Android General] LLStarks:
Amazon Music works if you use 7.2.8 version offered by Yalp Store. Not sure if it'll pick up USB.
[Android General] apache07x:
[MENTION=4670039]LLStarks[/MENTION] how do I get Spotify to download to the USB? I see the folders on USB but it keeps trying to download to internal storage instead. Settindhas it going to USB but still wants to download to head unit

Edit: nevermind uninstalled and reinstall fixed it.
[Android General] Ludeape:
Hmm thought I tried that version also but was getting sign in errors and it kept asking me for my country and wouldn't sign in. I may have to try again.

apache07x, is this the version you are using also?

Thanks
[Android General] apache07x:
Ludeape I started with version 6.0.2 and it updated through yalp. I got signed in fine but it did say something about country to sign out and try again. I just hit the refresh button and went right in fine then. I couldn't figure out how to get it to download to the USB but I didn't mess with it a lot. I also was mounted to the USB with the file explorer which wouldn't allow it to download to the USB drive if it's able to.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-4ZmWhDKPM1FC6rxmZNRF1qebQQx7GTB/view?usp=drivesdk

I have Spotify somewhat working but it's still clunky and a lot of touchscreen pressing even with the Honda hack automation turned on. I think I'll turn on the automation through my launcher and see if that works better than Honda hack automation.
[Android General] apache07x:
Best I can get mine. A lot better than factory but too bad it's not a little more powerful and a more current os where we could integrate things better.
[Android General] krispin:
What configuration is that? Thanks
[Android General] apache07x:
It's an app called car launcher on the playstore
[Android General] Notor1ouS-:
by default you need to go to the Bluetooth tab and modify its settings there.

did you try 'viper bass' and 'viper clarity'?

did you try it with music from a USB-stick? that should always work

maybe reinstalling the viper driver does help..? (Viper menu -> uninstall)
[Android General] Ludeape:
that looks cool.. did you have to install play services though for this app? And how do you get back to the integrated Radio controls?
[Android General] apache07x:
Well getting back to the original launcher has been my only problem. The icon must be a hidden app in the app drawer and I can't figure out how to unhide it. Give me a break I'm old lol. As far as Sirius, garmin, settings for the truck, (wifi, Bluetooth etc.) that's all in the app drawer and can be added to the home screen. Just can't find launcher 2 icon anywhere. I do not have play services installed. I installed free version first (on phone) then bought the pro version which gives you a little extra customization. I ripped the apks for both off of my phone and uploaded to my drive and downloaded from there, moved from internal storage to USB and installed with HH. All of the steering wheel controls and things like that still work.
[Android General] franzfume:
mhh nope.I have read somewhere that I have to modify HEADSET tab and lock Vipero on it under preference.

So I've enabled developer options with USB Debugging on my 2019 Civic Sport. I bought the $10 key for HondaHack and attempted to use the web browser to root and install, but it just hangs on processing. After checking the JavaScript console, I notice it's throwing the error

"Uncaught ReferenceError: WebKitBlobBuilder is not defined at createblob (scriptidp.js:584)"

WebkitBlobBuilder is deprecated and now we are recommended to use BlobBuilder. Anyone else run into the same issue?
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Thanks. Sadly, I can't wait for the GPS icon to stop blinking because my car is in a building parking lot. After playing around and doing tests since your reply. I found that:

Disabling USB Fast Mount in Honda Hack, actually makes thing MUCH faster on Civic 2016. It is like the toggle is on reverse. A bug that should be fixed. So turning it off, which really means turning it on, didn't solve the problem, but accelerated the USB drive mounting.

If I wait for all other icons to show up at the top (Bluetooth, Wireless, etc), and maybe 1-2 sec after, then run Spotify, it seems to not have enough time for the OS to mount the USB flash drive.

No difference using Task manager or not to kill Spotify. Sees that when you turn off the car, the OS gets a call to kill all non-OS level processes.

What I learned is that if you run Spotify and it gets stuck loading (dark gray screen), then you know it failed to connect to the USB flash drive, and re-create a new session on the local storage and downloading everything again. Then you know you'll need to do the switch to the USB flash drive.

It seems the issue is with the OS that takes ages to mount the USB flash drive (probably needs a hack to 'force USB flash mount before doing anything' not sure how doable that is), mixed with the fact that Spotify doesn't go at load time "let me wait for the USB flash drive to respond", it just fails and creates a new session on the local storage (which takes more time than waiting that extra few sec needed).
[Android General] ElusiveJones:
Yeah I never knew which steps had an impact and which ones did nothing, they have just become my standard routine now and I haven't needed to re-download anything to my USB for months(as far as Spotify Playlists are concerned). Interesting tidbit about the "Fast mount". I have 2016 myself, I'll have to investigate that.

Did you happen to find the "don't clear cache" or "remember settings" in your HU settings? I can't for the life of me remember how it was worded, but it's to the same effect. I feel like that made the biggest impact in keeping the Spotify defualt storage, but the aforementioned steps have been such a ritual for so long, I can't be sure lol.
[Android General] Toilet Paper:
Hmm yes, I recall seeing such option in the car official menu. I'll have a look and play around with it.
[Android General] darky22:
Just use the hide apps feature inside honda hack, it will give you a code to remember, click a picture of it since you will be needing it to get your hidden apps back.
[Android General] toolhas4degrees:

I can really really recommend the Sygic GPS navigation app, it works really wonderful and all maps stored locally , so no need for internet access when Driving.... the only downside as for now is the instructions change audio source, but easily corrected from stearing wheel left side.
[Android General] ctsshack:
I've added Waze to my 2017 CRV and loving it. Of course I have to tether via WiFi to my iPhone for it to work, but overtime I start the car I have to go into the Person Hotspot on my phone for the head unit to connect via WiFi which is annoying. Is there a way to get internet access tethered via Bluetooth or USB?
[Android General] rosenkrantz:
Install Sygic :) :) then no need for internet while driving :)
[Android General] SanJoseCA:
[MENTION=4172926]blowtorch[/MENTION], What maps app so you use? Did THAT option appear in general for every maps app or other apps for that matter?
[Android General] blowtorch:
If I'm correct, you want to know which navigation app I'm using that allows you to store data on USB? If so, the answer is Sygic. I haven't really had time to test with others but I don't see why they wouldn't work similarly. I find Sygic to be the best offline navigation solution so far.

Dirty cow exploit replaces (temporarily) the run-as command on the system with the run-as command pushed by root.sh

I'd still would like to understand what exactly run-as contents are and what exactly it is doing.

It could have been a simple script just like it was in the Honda Pilot hack, why is it a binary file?

Does it call nefarious.sh or does it do some other thing(s).

If it calls nefarious.sh the su is copied to system/xbin, hence the rooting is permanent and no further need of calling run-as again in the future.

A lot of people are asking how to revert the hack, and the suggestions are factory reset.

That won't wipe the su if nefarious.sh is run

perhaps [MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] can explain.

Call me curious or paranoid if you will, I'd like to understand the process not blindly follow it.

adapt to my needs / environment, contribute to make it better or work in other situations ...
