[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ahb83:
I've used sultanxda's cm 13 rom since it's inception and only stayed there because of xposed. Since the official xposed was released, I decided to upgrade and have had nothing but problems.

To start with, I upgraded with TWRP by wiping (system/cache), flashing new fw by sultan, flashing the new sultanxda cm14 rom, flashed gapps, flashed magisk, wiped cache, and booted. After it booted it up, a lot of FC and apps staying on their splash window and closing.

So I tried RR and they fared well, but after a while it started doing the same. I could be not using my phone for a few hours, load whats app, and it would FC.

Backed up data (using TB), did a full wipe (system/data/cache), flashed fw, flashed rom, flashed gapp, magisk, xposed, and flashed the update.zip I created with TB. After boot and restore it did the same thing.

Thinking maybe it's the data, I did the above, but this time I didn't restore the data by TB's update.zip. I did a clean install, booted, waited for google play to restore by downloading all apps, then restored only the data using TB. This seemed to be having the best result and I used it all day with minor issues like whatsapp would not update until I launched it. So if people were sending me messages, I didn't know until I launched whatsapp.

Went to bed and woke up, same deal as the original problems. Lots of apps: Whatsapp, Web video broadcaster, whisper, signal, ring, sc, firetv app, and many more would either give FC or not launch. Only way I figured to fix it is restore the app only using TB.

I even tried reflashing the FW and Open beta FW again, but that did not help.

What is about my phone and nougat that's causing me to have these problems? I had no issue using MM with all of these apps. If they were not compatible, google would have not downloaded them after a clean install.

Anyone else having these issues or know what might be going on? I'm very tempted to go back to my MM backup and update the data for all apps if I cant fix this.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
/using TB is known to brek google push messaging service. Alos when going from something that was on android m to android n, always do a clean flash (formatting both caches, system and data) When backing up, make sure to only back up and restore user data. Not a single piece of system info should ever be restored.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ahb83:
right, that's what I did this last time I reflashed everything. backed up all important apps, flashed everything, let google restore the apps, and restore only the data to the non-system apps.

would that have an effect of every other app though? I could not use web video caster even thought it was a fresh install, no restored data, because it would just FC.

Please help: Constant "Android is starting" on every reboot. Moto G 2014 XT1068

Hi, :)

On every reboot of the Moto G 2014 XT1068 the phone acts as the system or apps have just been installed for the first time ever and gives the "Android is starting" - "Optimising App X of XX" message.

:eek:

I've tried many many different custom ROMs while trying to find a fix but it keeps happening. Currently installed is Minimal OS ROM but prior to this Liquid Dark was installed, as was Dirty Unicorns, Cyanogen Mod, MicroKat etc etc. I've wiped the phone and followed all best practices but nothing seems to stop it from doing this. :eek: :eek:

The last thing I did was to backup the phone using TWRP, I then wanted to reboot but reboot was NOT showing on the TWRP recovery manager for some reason, (hmmm) so I chose "Shut down" and then powered on and low and behold here we go again!

It's been saying it's optimising apps for 39 minutes now. It keeps restarting the process. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Can someone please advise me? I've never experienced these many problems before with a phone, first it was the battery and now this.

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bagged00:
Got a s8 plus. Just the other day i was using speaker phone and the quality of my speaker was so bad, i couldn't understand the person on the phone. What's weird is it doesnt always sound bad. I only use the speaker on three apps, YouTube, alarm, and phone call. And it's been hit and miss on all three apps. Anyone ever had this problem? Now here's my rant. After talking to Samsung and getting the run around, they've basically told me i have 2 options. 1. Send the phone in for repair which will take 9 to 11 days and i dont have an extra phone to replace it. 2. Use samsung premium care to file a claim, spend 100$ on deductible,and get a brand new phone. My problem with this is this isn't my fault. This is either a hardware or software problem. It seems like im being penalized for something that not my problem. Not to mention when i pay 900$ for a phone i expect it to last longer then 6 7 months with no problems. Not sure what im going to do but this will be my last samsung. Ive had to many problems with samsung that dates all the way back to the s5 to the s8 plus and everything in between.

Hi all,

I've been looking to upgrade the head unit in my car. I came across Android HUs on eBay.

This seems to be the best one on eBay to my (very limited) knowledge:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-7...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Are they any good? I have also seen them on Alibaba/Aliexpress. Are they all the same or are certain ones better? Prices can vary wildly.

If someone could point me in the right direction for the best quality HU I'd be very grateful!

That a px3 new modle with 2gig ram so yes it good but i would go for px5 chip if possible as it an 8 core both have great support on here malesky rom is excellent i personally wouldn't go for intel sofia as there slightly less support but that can change there some and root from what i read but no custom rom i could be wrong this is just my opinion

[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Less support? You should SEE what they're doing on the joying forum.... They've got the whole MCU protocol reverse engineered, and have the things running on the base AOSP (i.e., without all the chinese trash applications installed).
[Android Head-Units] chris4507:
Well that changes alot as i said i could be wrong lol you have to admit it is hard navigating throu these forums we could do with having them all cleaned up put into sections px5 px3 intel ..... Like the mobile section if you get me but anyway thanks for the info that may well be the next for me so do you think intel sofia ones better that px5 ?

[Android Head-Units] mikem1989:
I may go for the PX5. It seems to be well supported. The Chinese Android head units do seem a bit of a gamble but have great potential.

...disabled on xda, he sure does claim alot. Context is the JY sofia unit, which may or may not use the same protocol as MTCx.

For OP, read before you buy and understand what you are buying; do you need to rush.

These px3/px5 and sofia (except sofia jy) are all common reference units with many resellers and only a few manufacturers. They call work from a common reference design (MTCD being the latest) with a few minor variations - such as amp IC.

Beat you to it [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] :)
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
You say that as if you don't believe a word of it, which is a pretty curious position for anyone to take when there is actual SOURCE CODE being provided. So you don't believe it? Maybe you should actually try it out. Check out the source code, build it, install it.

There are actually two main competing "sources". One is, as you mention, MTC, the other is FYT. Joying was initially reselling MTC units being built by Joyous (confusing?), buy they switched to SYU, which was manufacturing units based on the FYT SoM (specifically, FYT5009, and later they switched to FYT6021 which is basically the same, but has a different physical interface). Shortly after, FYT acquired SYU.

One of the big advantages to the FYT/SYU design is that there is a whole lot LESS dependency on the MCU. For example, you can search through the MTC forums and will find reference to a hardware modification to disconnect the i2c lines controlling the BD37xxx sound processor from the MCU and attach it to the SoC. This modification is entirely redundant on the FYT/SYU units, because the BD37xxx is built into the SoM rather than being added on later to the mainboard through the MCU. So right off the bat, it is a heck of a lot easier to manage the FYT units than the MTC units.

The MCU on the FYT designs is responsible for these functions;

1) AMFM radio,

2) GPIO, which basically means the binary car i/o signals; ACC, headlights, reverse, e-brake, amp power (out), antenna power (out). And on top of that, it has two analog inputs for 2-channel steering wheel interfaces.

And guess what? Everything else is directly controllable.

So you're absolutely right that the work being done for the joying units (FYT) is not in any way applicable to the MTC units. You can take that to mean that nobody with an MTC will be able to benefit from it, which means that they remain restricted by the broken software being distributed by the chinese manufacturers, whereas somebody who buys a Joying unit will have the freedom to CHOOSE if they want to use the broken chinese firmware, or try out the much LESS broken open source firmware, and contribute to that firmware if they like.

There are also plans to bring Android 8 to the Joying units.

Now one other consideration for the joying/fyt units; since the job of the MCU is so radically simplified compared to the MTC units, there is also a reasonable prospect of somebody one day deciding to build an open source MCU firmware for them. Its not like these MCU's are super secret chips that nobody can program anything for. The biggest part of that job will just be in writing the driver for working the AMFM radio, and AMFM radios really aren't all that complex. In the past, there have been hacker modifications for the MTC MCU firmware, but very restricted in scope due to the heap of bad code. Basically, the reverse engineering effort was insurmountable. With the MCU for the FYT, the only reverse engineering that is actually needed is restricted to simply tracing the circuit, then it can simply be written from scratch. Remember, its just AMFM radio and GPIO's.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Makes sense, thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response.

Was sceptical that anything might come of it.
[Android Head-Units] mikem1989:
Basically, what I am getting from this is that I should buy a Joying unit?...

It's a shame, as I do not like the physical appearance of them. The PX5 unit visibly suits my car much better.
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Its certainly what I would do.

As far as appearance goes, they have an "all black glass rectangle". Pretty hard to beat that visually.

Feel free to correct me if Im wrong - the pros n cons of each platform:

JY (sofia FTY)

Pros:

- Android Bluetooth, better a2dp quality.

- 3G built in option

- True 3 band eq(?)

- Android control of audio (?)

- potentially AOSP on these units within an undefined timeline

Cons:

- same as MTCD in terms of software bugs/overall quality

- RDS AF issue/non-function

- small number of manufacturers

- suspect JY to drop sofia soon and move to PX5

SOM (this might be based on same reference as sofia w/built in BT?)

- Still uses MCU, albeit less functions are performed by MCU

-hardware QA

- rubbish warranty as all other chinese reseller

- rubbish reseller support as all other chinese reseller

MTCD

Pros:

- Wide support and spares.

- high update cycle, availability of mcu and android due to multiple resellers, greater probability of a vendor releasing updates based on the reference release (e.g.currently HA releasing both HA and HCT reference updates)

- Ability to upgrade SOM or replace on failure

- same boot time/sleep as JY sofia

- same features as JY sofia

- greater model/case variations

- ostensibly more devs writing custom apps/control mods

Cons:

-Awful BT implementation (i suspect a port from wince units )

- above results in terrible a2dp quality and until recently bad quality/echo phone handsfree

- same RDS AF issue

- Hardware QA

- rubbish warranty as all other chinese reseller

- rubbish reseller support as all other chinese reseller

Anything else or do I have anything wrong here?
[Android Head-Units] mikem1989:
I'm still not decided between PX3 or PX5.

Does anyone know when they are due an update? (better CPU/More RAM)

Is it a yearly thing?

If so, may just wait for the next iteration.
[Android Head-Units] ptolomeo:
I've read that to move GPS Navigation and music at the same time comfortably, you should have at least 2 GB and PX5, but the Intel Sofia seems to be the best one of all.
[Android Head-Units] mikem1989:
The Intel Sofia only seems to be available in the joying units from what I see. With the fascia I want for my car it looks like I can choose between PX3 or PX5 only.

Think I'll go PX5. Unless there are any updated models on the horizon.

The home row/dock (not sure what the proper name is) had space for five or six apps (not including the app drawer icon) on Android KitKat and on Lollipop with JasmineROM. After upgrading to LineageOS (Nougat) I can't change the number of apps the home row will take, even if I resize the grid for the home screen. I experienced this on an Asus Zenfone AR (also on Nougat) that I had for a couple of weeks, which makes me think the resizable home row was an LG-specific feature. Does anyone know if there's a way to add this functionality back to the current version of LineageOS?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] crp62:
I thought I knew every function of my Note 4 by now. But, read an article on CNet that mentioned the NextRadio Free Live FM Radio app. I downloaded it from the Play Store & it installed just fine (even though AT&T Note 4 isn't on the devices list). Typed in my zip code (I didn't want to allow location) and it worked! Like a charm.

So, 3 years after buying my Note 4, I'm listening to live FM Radio for the first time today. But, after using the app for a few minutes and checking the settings of a station once it's playing, I think it's using streaming audio, not the FM radio chip. This is based on the NextRadio FAQ page here: http://nextradioapp.com/faq/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but... I don't think you are actually getting FM radio...

NextRadio now has a streaming mode for incompatible devices. I turned off my Wifi, and turned on "Stream over WIFI only" and poof... FM radio went away.

This is from their FAQ:

NextRadio now has a Streaming Mode which allows you to listen on devices that aren't FM-enabled, listen to stations outside your local area, and send the audio over Bluetooth. Like other streaming apps, Streaming Mode will use more data and deplete your battery more quickly.

Streaming Mode is currently only available in the United States.

Usually cheap chinese phones that are available on the market like Lenovo, Leagoo or etc. and some retailers still selling old Android models mostly from KitKat and Lollipop ones.
[General Questions and Answers] Naramore:
So unlikely for any phone that most people would be looking for. Also Kingroot is full of spyware/adware and hardly a good route to be considering in any case.
[General Questions and Answers] amirzaim:
If not preferring Kingroot, you might want to find some devices that are using Snapdragon chipset, which are pretty easy to install most of custom roms. recoveries and etc. but requires a little bit higher than average android usage skills. Any device is using Android Marshmallow and above would require to use TWRP or similar custom recoveries to root the device, that's the only way to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Naramore:
It sounds reasonable but my current Experia Z3 rooting attempt fell at the first hurdle because the bootloader unlocking option says 'NO'!

So the detail of the process is critical and general simplified methods are often far from it. Hence being very clear on the rooting method is more important than the phone spec.

I wasnt expecting simple answers here just methods of narrowing down the choices, so all information is helpful.

But it does seem I have to start from the exact phone and try to work backwards to find out rootability as I have no experience to draw on.
