[Android Head-Units] ptolomeo:
I will give you my opinion.

Probably the best head units are those from first brands (Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony...) but those units play in another league. The models I like are about 1,300$ what, for me, is out of my league. These brands also have some 'lower-cost' units, but they are usually too 'closed' or offer outdated technology (LCD screens, too old Android OS...)

I checked Parrot Asteroid Smart which I liked very much, but also, a 4 year old unit with 512MB RAM and Android 2.3 was too old for me. Community support disappeared at this point (I asked a couple of questions in some forums and haven´t got any answer yet...)

After an extensive research, my conclusion (discarding the tipical Pioneer/Kenwood/Sony/etc units) is:

Dynavin units are probably the best ones, specially when speaking about audio quality. If money is not an issue as you claim (not my case), I would fit one of these.

Avin: I was going to buy the Avin VWU8-PX5 which looked as a good product. AFAIK their product is a mix from Chinese electronics + USA details, at a premium of course, but their customers seemed satisfied and I liked what I read from Avin. Problem is that I live in Spain and buying from an European distributor was a must (to be able to claim warranty in case needed). Avin only sells in USA and doesn't have any distributor in EU, so discarded too.

Chinese brands with EU distributors: Finally there are chinese sellers that also sell in EU, so I ended up with these brands: pumpkin, XTRONS and Joying.

There are other Chinese brands that I discarded just for not having an EU distributor (Ownice, Dasaita, and so on), but if you don't have this problems you might also check them.

I finally decided to buy a Joying Unit 8" with Intel Sofia processor. Why? For these reasons:

They have an EU warehouse (Germany)

Community support is probable the best over XDA

Support seems to be one of the best among Chinese sellers

There are some easy hardware mods/hacks that will dramatically improve the units life/performance. Heat sink/fan mod. Sound chipset swap, Rooting, Viper4Android to improve audio, etc

As for your question "what does rooting and flashing roms on an AA HU achieve?" if you really "are very familiar with rooting, flashing roms, adb, fastboot" as you claim, you should know... tweaking here and there, uninstalling bloatware, installing better than original apps...

Hope you find the right head unit, tell us what you end up with.

Cheers!
[Android Head-Units] kinetx:
thanks for the detailed response! i hadn't considered bloatware, better audio quality etc would be possible for a headunit but ofcourse, this IS android!

of the major brands, are there any specific models better than the others that you (or anyone else) could recommend?

One vote for ATOTO A6 Pro

I recently installed ATOTO A6 Pro into my 2011 Subaru WRX, which had the factory double-din Navigation. I purchased ATOTO A6 Pro which is much much better than the factory unit in every respect -- but especially display brightness, viewing angle and boot time. The audio is decent, although not in same league as higher-priced name brand stereos. The included bluetooth external microphone gives much better quality then the factory one. Having Android Auto as well as the ability to run applications (like Torque) natively on the ATOTO is great. I have a Pixel2 phone and didnt have any connectivity problems with the ATOTO over bluetooth, Wifi, or USB (for Android-Auto) . I think ATOTO has better components (MediaTek SoC, IPS display, etc.) than much of the competition for low-cost Chinese android head units. I also added a back up camera. Had some wiring difficulties due to ATOTO sub-par documentation, but at least their Technical support team was responsive and helpful. Overall, am happy with ATOTO A6 Pro.

I tried to go into recovery through an app and it gives error and write I have no recovery installed, how do I install recovery?

Thanks !
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:

If you have a Joying: forget it.

They have an empty recovery partition. It will simply not work.

Can i install a new one ?

If there is anything I want to install through the recovery, can I install without recovery ?

I want to install "xposed"
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
"This" is indeed with an "empty" recovery, like ALL Joyings.

"Can i install a new one ?

I assume you mean a working recovery partition? Yes, you can. It is described in the first link I mentioned which points to Daves recovery partition.

You need to have the recovery installed. Without it you can only install the official stock Joying ROMs.

With only the recovery partition in place, you can install updates "the joying way". If you install a true Joying ROM you need to resign it with the testkeys.

The latest ROM by gtx (= gtxaspec) requires the installation of the TWRP images as well. That is: install Dave's recovery partition followed by the install of the TWRP recovery boot.

If you want to install xposed (only), you need both steps. If you want to install it as part of gtx's latest ROM (as it is included), you still need both steps.
[Android Head-Units] Cr4zyMan:
Thanks but now i have a problem

after install the xposed the device make a restart and now its stuck on the android logo, and i do not have a recovery !

Hello,

I don't know exactly where to post my question... :-/

So let's go here.

I was using a Z5C on MM. I switch to a P9 Lite and migrate all datas with Titanium Backup 8.0.2.

Now, I decided to go back to my Z5C with the last ROM 32.4.A.1.54 (Nougat) rooted with phh superuser & TWRP.

It works fine but I can not restore my "binary" datas with Titanium Backup on this device.

When I restore the accounts database, it's never the old one !

/data/system/users/0/accounts.db is the good one (with all desired accounts) but Android don't show them in the accounts & sync menu.

Maybe it works withe the device encrypted one : /data/system_de/users/0/accounts_de.db

But how can I convert my backup to this one ??

Boring.....

I have the opportunity to get one of these.

Do you guys have opinions good or bad on either? Your input would be greatly appreciated!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] sonus:
I'd say the Pantech if you want a decent form factor that you don't have to lug around. On the otherhand, the moto probably has more of a develpment community, so if you plan on doing lots of ROM upgrades and the like, the moto might be your better choice. (I'd confirm that speculation tho, with some google searching and forum searching...on modaco and the like).

In the end, your best bet is to goto the store (AT&T, I'm guessing?) and hold them and try them out for yourself.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dwboston:
I have a Q9h and checked out a Pantech Duo before getting the Moto. The Moto is a little wide but very thin and easy to "lug around". It has phenomenal reception (much better than the Duo that I played with in the store) and just seemed to have better build quality. I've read some posts on other forums that confirmed this impression. They are both Windows Mobile devices so availability of applications should be similar between the two.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] agentdr8:
I had the Pantech Duo up until last week. Replaced it with the Q9h. Much better handset in terms of build quality, keyboard touch/feel, and overall WM6 experience. And the Q9 has an integrated GPS :)

It definitely is wide, which takes some getting used to. But it's super thin, which I find is more than an even trade for the added width.

When rooting a g3 with purpledrake, where did permaroot.bin & temproot.bin came from?

First of all, I'm new to xda-developers' forums, so this thread is a response to https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000 . If the rules against spam weren't so tough I would have posted a reply over there, but I hope someone will be willing to help me anyway.

I'm surprised that no asked this yet,

In the official website for LG's developers and specifically in the page regarding unlocking the bootloader, in the FAQ tab, it is explicitly explained that only a very specific set of devices will be supported for unlocking their boot-loader.

When I unlocked my HTC M8 through the guidance in https://www.htcdev.com , (I don't remember every detail of that process but) I do remember that HTC sent me a binary file very similar to permaroot.bin and temproot.bin that was the key to unlock the boot-loader. Now, I want to root my friend's lg g3 and I encountered purple drake's script as the only option the android community can provide. I just feel like we should question the integrity of these files because no one explains and no one asked yet where did he get these files?? After all they are the one who do all the magic..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] krivulak:
Hi, I got this bugger for way too big price (40 bucks for non-working piece of garbage), but I needed it because nobody helped me with reflashing original Nexus 7 I botched up while flashing (can't even get to fastboot mode).

I need to resurrect it from death. Apparently, somebody was tinkering inside, one antenne lead is broken, USB port seems replaced with very wrong one (it fits, it sits, but clearly it is not original) and the main, biggest problem is that the OS is corrupted.

All I keep getting is Google logo, can't boot into normal mode, can't boot into recovery mode. Can get to fastboot interface though. But there is one problem - the USB debugging was never activated, so when I plug it into computer in fastboot mode, all I get is "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)". When I try to manually install Universal Naked Driver, it keeps *****ing about wrong driver version or not compatible hardware. What I have to do to get it working except sending it to Asus and pay 5 times the tablet's price to get it fixed?

It was going to be replacement for that botched Nexus 7, but now it seems that it will cost way more...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
USB debugging on/off is relevant only in ADB mode and has no impact whatsoever in fastboot mode. Please boot it in fastboot mode, connect to PC and quote USB device descriptor number from device manager.

If it is 18D1:4EE0 then you have to resolve driver issues on your PC

If it is 0000:000x then you have to fix hardware problem in your Nexus

I posted more info in this and this thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] krivulak:
USB Device Tree Viewer shows it as vid_0000&pid_0002, so there is hardware problem with the tablet.

So, if I understand it correctly, it can be caused either by badly seated cable or bad USB port. Sice the one that is there is clearly changed for the wrong one, I will try to order proper one and see what will it do.

By the way, I already tried to reseat the ribbon cable, no luck there.
