Someone mentioned and I confirmed that the V9a4test, or maybe even the a3, will pink light if the car is started and shut down in a short amount of time... For instance, today, I started the car to pull the car out of the garage. On and off in about 1 minute or less. The next time I started the car, the head cycles through the pink light 3 times and then finally boot. This happens on Q, every time if the car is on and off in that short period time... This is, once the head has been running and fully booted. Not sure what would cause this..

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

If this is a confirmed issue in V9a4test, and does not happen in a3, I think I'm going to forgo the a4test because of the Viper... I'll miss it, but would rather have stability
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
That happens on any build when you have custom recovery inatalled.
[FYT Android Head Units] Redbullssg:
But it's only when the car is started and turned back off in less than 5 minutes... Why is that?
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
Something is keeping a wake lock, and shutting the unit down, and custom recovery pink lights.

hi guys, I upgraded, it's great, congratulations ??????????

I would have some questions [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION]:

1 I have installed xposed, but I do not understand how to assign to each physical key, the application I want, I do not understand what I have to select in "call method" and in the next option.

2 I would like to install the original music application, someone can pass it to me?

3 I can not change the wallpaper, I would like to put a simple photograph but I can not ??

thank you all ??
[FYT Android Head Units] Inus:
Hi. I soft brick my unit every time I try to install. There's a bootloop and a white "broken" screen. Do you know of anyone with the same problem? Thank you.
[FYT Android Head Units] Redbullssg:
Thanks, I'll try that!
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
1. Please read post 2 of this [XPOSED][INTEL JOYING] 4 Xposed modules to tweak your Intel Sofia 3GR Joying unit. It contains instructions.

2. Really??? Anyway: see attached.

3. Like on any android device. Just Google.
[FYT Android Head Units] bernix1:
thanks for your reply and....

1 for your work ..... :good:

2 Yes, really, I want to use your players ;)

3 before this rom, I put the photo on a usb, I opened it and "put it as background", now with this rom, I go on usb, when I open the photo, tells me that I do not have a program to open it and I do not know how to put it !! :rolleyes:

I have another question for you:

but with this rom, can I put a dash-cam? how can I do?

thank you very much !!!

update:

I solved everything, I installed music, but I think I will use poweramp (even if it every 2 3 days tells me that the trial period has expired).

I would like to install a dashcam with any USB web cam, can you tell me how to do it? [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION]?

I have installed spotify, however even closed it starts playing automatically after ACC_ON

The bad think is I can't write a script in the same place as the car and this is a a relly pain in the ass to test in comfortably
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Hi,

First off: This is releated to xposed xsofiatweaker. Please keep these questions in that "[XPOSED][INTEL JOYING] 4 Xposed modules to tweak your Intel Sofia 3GR Joying unit" thread as not to "pollute" this Custom Rom thread whith these questions.

More users worldwide on many devices complain about this spotify behavior. I have no idea whether there is a solution yet.

If you want to stop spotify, you could use a command in the ACC_ON like

am stop com.spotify.music

Maybe you need to add a sleep command first like

sleep 10; am stop com.spotify.music

to get some additional delay to execute the command after spotify has started.
[FYT Android Head Units] cutjo:
can i isnstall this rom in Pumpkin RQ0278E 2GB ?
[FYT Android Head Units] Astur_Torque:
I don't really think so, but without testing I wouldn't do it
[FYT Android Head Units] Xtreme2k:
I seem to have the same issue. It flashes successfully, but then goes into a loop where the 4-dot-animation starts but then a white screen (sometimes with vertical bars) is shown and then reboots. Unit is Joying JY-UMS04N (Sofia 5009 with 1 GB RAM, 800x600 screen). Any help would be appreciated!
[FYT Android Head Units] stadros83:
I do not have sound anymore

How do I do a hard reset ?

When I go into the settings it closes systematicaly
[FYT Android Head Units] merdok:
Life delayed this message :p

When I ran this command I do not have a ro.build.user.version key in the build.prop. Looking at the last zip I can find on notebook would have used think i might have v7 installed on the device.

Can I dirty flash, or would this not be advised because of the differences?
[FYT Android Head Units] stadros83:
I've reinstalled the stock ROM but I don't have sound anymore (mp3, bluetooth nor radio) :( ...

So I've installed again this GTX ROM and still no sound ...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The versions before 9 did not have this ro.build.user.version property.

If you really come from a lower version I would do a clean flash. You might try a dirty flash, but if it fails you need to do a clean flash anyway.
[FYT Android Head Units] merdok:
Great! it did take the no wipe install of v9a3 on the second attempt. It appears it didnt want to boot to twrp the first time, after rebooting it showed recovery was still installed from custom and everything went as expected the second run though. :D

This was a lunch hour experiment but still see app / accounts remained so that seems like a success. Are there anythings specific that would recommend poking at to look for issues which would point me doing a full wipe?
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
Where is the v9a4 version? can we please update and restructure the OP? It doesn't make a lot of sense, and I guess you have to trawl through the whole board to find gtaxspecs post with his signature to find a link for v9a4???

[FYT Android Head Units] Xtreme2k:
I flashed another time (first back to stock by just inserting a stick with the extracted stock rom, then re-flashing the custom rom with the custom.apk), but got the same result (even when resetting the unit several times). However, when I started next day, the unit look like 20 minutes in the four-dot-animation and then finally successfully booted the GTX rom. No idea what happened, I think it might have been overheated the day before from the flashing.
[FYT Android Head Units] ruriruri:
Stock was Jan 2018 version.

Rooted. Installed custom.apk. Custom recovery installed. GTX ROM didn't auto install after reboot. Manually installed by selecting 5009_60_gtx.zip. Log showed first 2 times failed to verify and install, third time installed successful. Reboot.

Bootloop 6 times at 4 dot animation. Now stuck on 4 dot animation for 30min. Post #1819 waited 20min next day. My situation might be different. Any solutions?
[FYT Android Head Units] Dukenukemx:
Does this rom work with my device?
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I decided to give this ROM another try... 3 months ago I decided to install v9a3 and got this very same issue... had to return back to stock joying.

Now I got some holidays at work and I tried to install again, clean install from formatted Stock, and got again the same issue as yours.

Unit is Joying JY-UMS03N

[MENTION=520205]gtxaspec[/MENTION] Any thoughts?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You both have a 1GB ROM 16 GB RAM model. Maybe the 1GB is a bottleneck when flashing making the unit too hot to continue. It is a known fact that when the unit gets too hot, it throttles down the CPU speed and then it takes too long to flash/optimize causing issues. The gtxaspec ROMs flash much faster as they only have a very small optimizing step, but still it might be an issue.

The JY-UMS04N 800x600 has an 800x600 resolution, instead of 1024x600. Joying always delivers separate firmwares for the two resolutions they deliver their units in. That could be an issue too.

Already some time ago, gtxaspec made the ROM compatible with 800x600 units starting with the V6 ROM. Maybe some bug crept in into the latest custom ROM(s).

So the question to [MENTION=2596438]Xtreme2k[/MENTION]: What version did you try to flash first (<V6?), and which version did flash successful (the v9a3 version, or earlier than v9a3?)?
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
To clarify, I always used the stock firmware for 1024x600 with no issues, and so with gtx rom until this last versions. So I'm almost certain that my unit is 1024x600 and not 800x600. It has 1gb of RAM though.
[FYT Android Head Units] Xtreme2k:
All of my tries were with v9a3.
[FYT Android Head Units] papercliph:
I am also using the 1 GB version, but did not have seen any problems with rooting and loading software.

It is important that there is nothing connected with the usb ports when you update.
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
Well I went this morning to my car after leaving it rebooting overnight, and it finally booted, the google logo stayed for like 5 minutes. Data had been reset because I couldn't find any of the /data apps installed by gtx ROM (e.g. Sofia Extra Tools).

So my guess is that my unit doesn't like the /data flashed by gtx rom.

I've screwed the unit up again, this time I think i'ts a xposed module issue, so:

I'm going back to stock again, this time i'll root, install custom.apk, boot into TWRP recovery and manually install 5009_60_gtx.zip, and open_gapps-x86-6.0.zip, without installing data.zip and also wiping data and cache to be extra sure.

I'll tell you if it boots fine this time.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dukenukemx:
Hey guys, how can I identify that my stereo is compatible with this rom? I know it has a Intel Atom with 1GB of ram and 16GB of rom, but it also has a DVD drive.

This is what my MCU says.

2017-10-23 09:49:07 FY_(NOR)__90_C9_7706_6023_Newlap_18E

This is what the CPU Info says.

CPU: Intel ATOM 4QuadCore, GPU4D:Mali-450 MP4
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
Hello all,

I see some folks have issues with 1GB units... I completely forgot that these Sofia devices existed... So i never did any testing on them since i didn't have access to a unit. I'll look into it, and check if there are any software differences between these units.

Just to ask, which firmware version date were you folks with the 1GB models on before you installed the ROM?
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
From the cryptic official page:

https://www.joyingauto.com/blog/category/updated-files-released?page=2

2018-1-26 version, resolution 1024*600, MCU version is 5.25 or more earlier (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b-b0sYd32DtzJ-WVYvd28dP80Ry52Ipm/view)

Cleanly installed, rooted only for installing custom.apk and following up the installation of gtx ROM from there.

Just to put some information, i'm still testing V9a3 but whenever I reboot, the unit enters into the bootloop and it doesn't boot well until a looooooot of restarts.

Sometimes when it reboots it reprofiles the cache of the apps, and sometimes it boots without doing that. Strange.
[FYT Android Head Units] papercliph:
Was using the latest official joying version before I updated .

The first time it failed but after removing another usb stick from the hub I use it updated without any problems.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dukenukemx:
Does this look like a Joying Intel Sofia stereo that I can use this rom on?
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
Can you use the custom app to reinstall the stock recovery and see if you still have the issue???
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I've always had stock recovery installed, but I just tried both (custom and stock) with the same results

Every reboot, the unit boots to animated logo, and when "Android" word finally appears(sometimes earlier) a white screen flashes and unit reboots again. It's not until several reboots that the unit finally starts.

When I leave the car at night, the next morning it boots normally, most of the time.

Attached is how this white screen looks like. Note the purpled buttons (I have set my face buttons to green)
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I have a theory about this: I think it could be an overheating issue; here in eastern Spain is very hot now during the day, and the only moment it's bearable is on the morning.

Why I say that? Because as I said, the unit (re)boots well in the mornings (no hot weather).

Last night I left the unit rebooting and I went home, and this morning voila, unit booted and optimized many apps (up to 40 of 59), then it rebooted. Again.

Many of the times I get a successful reboot in the mornings. Not this time.

This time it didn't manage to optimize many apps, and it rebooted again, and now it engaged on a bootlop, as soon as Android word is displayed, it reboots (It's the behavior I observed always during the day, for a successful reboot I often have to wait several hours with the unit turned off).

My point is that after several reboots the CPU is very hot and it reboots when the UI is loaded.

We have this hot weather in Spain for over a month now, and I have installed GTX rom this last week. What I mean is that in stock ROM I didn't experience reboot bootloops due to temperature, or anything else.

Could it be that the temp sensor in my 1GB unit is different? different temperature thresolds on GTX rom than on stock rom?

My unit reaches even 95º Celsius (checked with XSofiaTweaker's status bar temp) when operating, it gets slow, but I only have problems when I reboot.
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
I agree with your theory t0z666. The joying units are known for running hot. Mine died completely this weekend due to the bad soldering and the unit heating up (HOT in europe for a long time now)...guess the solder starts to heat and deteriorate and now needs to be re-flowed (something like that, not a whizz at electronics).
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I will definitely be putting some sort of heatsink and fan this holidays (my unit is 1din so it's very packed, I'll try to find a fan that fits in).

But I can't explain why with the same weather the stock rom runs fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
don't post this in every thread. Please use one of the audio threads, come on.
[FYT Android Head Units] ptolomeo:
Mine reached 93ºC...

Is there any way to switch off temporary the unit to prevent it from getting damaged?

I panicked but found no way to switch off the unit (just the screen)

Any ideas?
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
In theory, holding down the "power" button for a few seconds puts the unit on suspend like when you switch off ACC. This way it would allow to cool down.

Update on my issues: I'm back to stock ROM and have been rebooting without problems, the unit gets up to 90º C but no issues on rebooting nor operating. The CPU may fry at anytime though. :crying:

I've tried to use TWRP to restore a backup I made some time ago but, surprisingly, has the same "overheating" issue, it reboots itself in the middle of a restore operation with this white screen wherever I push a bit the CPU (like when restoring /data)

That screwed up my unit many times but I managed to recover.
[FYT Android Head Units] Astur_Torque:
Its a completely must be

Grettings from asturias
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
My new PX5 has a builtin DVD/CD-player. This makes the room "to put something in" also very small.

I only have a small 3x3 cm 5V fan right now. I really do think a fan is MUCH MORE important than a heatsink.

So if you have to restrict to one item, install the fan.

Another "bonus" with the fan is that you don't glue anything to the SOM risking your warranty.
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I think i'll go with the same setup as this: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76513013&postcount=235 with zip ties.

Looks like a small fan and heatsink, haven't even opened my unit yet, but it should have the same Intel Atom SoC "rectangle" as the bigger ones.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
He has the tie wraps around/over the SOM. I also saw a combination where the tie wraps were going through the holes on the edges of the fan and the holes in the sides of the unit. So it "hung" above the SOM.
[FYT Android Head Units] tOz666:
I'll look into it, there isn't many people that did stuff to 1din units despite being perhaps the ones that most need extra cooling. So i'll find my way on this, make measures, look where to solder and pick the right fan.

I prefer a solderless solution (at least to the unit) so I might even salvage a USB A cable, solder it to the fan and put it via one of the unit's female leads, and still have the other available. Pretty easy to undo.
[FYT Android Head Units] lotte67890:
Following this thread for a while, I decided to give this ROM a try... But I had no luck installing...

What I did:

Installed latest Original FW again, to have a clean fresh system.

Rooted as suggested here: https://hvdwolf.github.io/Joying-RootAssistant/rooting.html

Installed Custom.apk v4.9 (superuser asked for permission which i granted)

installed custom recovery

Verified custom recovery

Installed GTX Custom ROM using the same USB Stick as with original FW (which I deleted from the stick before)

TWRP came up and started installing

While in the middle of installing "system", the screen was flickering white with vertical colored stripes

the unit automatically rebooted and since then it´s displaying "JOYING" on the screen...

So started all over again, and the same happened again... I detached the USB Stick, pressed the hw reset button but still it gets stuck on the JOYING display.

Unit is DE-JY-UMS01N2 with 2GB/32GB 1024x600 screen, running on Android 6.0.1 with: Intel Atom 4quadcore (x86), GPU4D: Mali-450 MP4, RAM 2GB DDR3

MCU is latest from 2017-05-25, System Info says "APP 1024x600 2018-01-26 09:36:24"

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks for your effort!!

[FYT Android Head Units] wanb1i:
This is just a guess, but it sounds like the GTXROM download may have been corrupted. I would try to re download and try again with the new download or reset the unit 3 times, be sure to remove your sdcard 1st. The unit should do a reset after the 3 manual resets, then boot the last known good firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] lotte67890:
To be clear, If I reset the unit 3 times, shall I then reflash the latest joying firmware or just boot normal and then retry to flash the GTX ROM? And else, can anyone please provide the md5 sum of the GTX ROM 5009_gtx_v9_alpha_3.zip?
[FYT Android Head Units] ruriruri:
Finally flashed successfully v9a3 after 6 attempts. Google play constantly stops and can't sign in. CPU overheats @90 causing bootloops. Will v10 solve the overheat issue?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You state in your listing: "MCU is latest from 2017-05-25,"

Well. that is definitely not the latest. The latest is the 2017-09-20.

All ROMS before(!) the v9_alpha_3 absolutely needed the 2017-09-20 firmware versions.

The v9_alpha_3 is the first to be able to work with both version, but it might be a bit flaky though.

I hope gtxaspec can shine some light on this.

And with regard to "Google play constantly stops".

You probably mean "Google play services", because that also happens to me after every reboot. Google Play as such works for me.
[FYT Android Head Units] JobKlimop:
For soms reason the unit has always given me a hard time when using a USB stick to update. Have jou tried it by using a micro SD?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Also: When upgrading only have one mass-storage device inserted. Only one SD-card or only one usb-stick. No other storage.
[FYT Android Head Units] Leafhood:
Hi all. Tried to install this today to my rooted Sofia device, but no luck. I did the custom.apk -things (install custom -> verify custom) without problems but when I tried to install GTX rom, the device reboots a few times (according to lights on buttons going on and off) and then continues where it was. No TWRP, no text, just a few blank reboots and then the usual startup.

I also tried to reboot to TWRP, but it did just the same, no change.

Any advice? :fingers-crossed: Still new at this, but I thought I knew what I was doing.. doesn't seem like it, hah.

Thanks all!

*edit: Just wanted to add that I tried it with 2 different usb sticks
[FYT Android Head Units] lotte67890:
You might have mixed up two questions... but thank you anyway. I´m the one with "MCU is latest from 2017-05-25." And guess what, you´re absolutely correct! There is a newer one, but obviously Joying messed it up, cause I downloaded again from the same link and they differ. Now MCU is from 2017-10-25. And yes I´m aware of not having a second "drive" while doing the update.

Nevertheless I managed to get the GTX ROM installed. What I did was to reassemble the unit from the car, opened it for better heat circulation and also used a hairdryer (without the heating turned on) to cool the system. The GTX ROM now works. At least as I do not reboot after assembling it back to car, then boot-loops occur again till the unit has cooled down. What does not work so far is that the display always stays awake, setting is one minute. And sad that there is no more Radio widget.. Also I wonder what display overlay means, I have some apps (File Explorer, Igo Navi/ GPS test, Rocket Player) which did complain about this setting so I disabled all apps in the overlay setting (including the system ones) and voila, now my apps work. And I´m able to get Sound through my USB DAC (Soundblaster Play 1), even though there is no Volume control... The audio_policy.conf file in /system/etc/ is already replaced as suggested here https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4084494&d=1490188105:

In the moment I´m back to Original FW, I first will assemble a fan and a heat sink, then try again.

In the end all what I want is:

Have the GPS fixed

Have Sound rooted through USB (with Volume control from the Joying unit), at least for playing my Audio files, Phone and Bluetooth, I don´t care much about the Radio, since the quality is bad anyway...

I´m thinking of buying this one https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/dac-...usb-dac-24bit96khz-sa9027-es9023-p-11074.html since it seems to have quite good values, and is asynchronous so that the Joying unit should be able to control the Volume.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Hey guys,

I just realized my screen doesn't take any touch inputs at a certain range (~2cm) on the screen. It seems the touchscreen is faulty at that area.

Has anybody heard of similar problems on our head units?
