This is what I'm wrestling with. The original plan was to purchase a Sony XAV-AX200 from Crutchfield. It supports Android Auto and has a physical volume knob (essential for road trips with kids). If I purchase from Crutchfield, I get the bezel surround for my truck, the PAC RP5-GM11 interface unit to mate up to the GM factory harnesses (including the Bose digital amplifer), the backup camera plugs right in, and so on. For a small fee, Crutchfield even pre-solders all the harnesses so you literally just plug the thing in.

Which leads me to a side question - do I use the same PAC unit to connect to these Android head units and mate to the steering wheel controls? I wonder if the Bose digital factory amp connects the same way... hrmm.
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
I should add that I have two additional motivations for using an Android head unit, both related to towing our 28' travel trailer:

I planned to purchase a standalone trailer TPMS system, but it would be great to have the head unit monitor the trailer's tires.

I use an Android app to level our trailer (put a phone on the floor of the trailer, and it sends the angular level to a second Android device), but I could run the receiving app directly on the head unit.

I have my eye on the Joying JY-UO135N4PX5:

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...id=SB_20180403143951&SearchText=JY-UO135N4PX5

At the time of this writing, the JY-UO135N4PX5 is not available on Ebay or Amazon. It is on AliExpress, but I'm not sure which of the sellers is the official Joying store, or all of them, or none of them...
[Android Head-Units] carter.w.jason:
FYI, Those Joying units are not MTCD/E. You will not have all the 3rd party support that the MTC units have.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
The mtcd/e units honestly are...a mess... MCU files and such. If you find the joying xxxP2 models....those are FYT SoM px5 units...gobwoth those...also means TWRP support and Xposed...and custom roms coming as well. The only downside is you can't install malaysk rom...but that seems to be bloated anyway. Take a look at the work done with the Intel joying...the P2 model is virtually identical to the intel save for the Px5 cpu...so lots of customoziation available
[Android Head-Units] carter.w.jason:
Is TWRP all ready out for PX5? Never saw it. I've been reading up on all you guys work on the Intel side, made me jump ship and buy Intel. Or is all this still in the works for PX5? Will be nice to have as a backup, and once support matures a bit more.
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
Well crap, I didn't realize that.

Okay, so what do I really lose by that? I can still run a third-party launcher (FCC Car Launcher, etc.), right? I'm new to all this, so it's not a rhetorical question.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
Once I get my hands on a P2 unit, yes, the bootloader is easier than the Intel to work with.
[Android Head-Units] carter.w.jason:
Yes, you can still run your own launchers. These Chinese units have a few bug here and there. For example the Joying PX5 sleep mode will kill background services that other apps depend on, giving you unwanted app crashes. You have to find work arounds for things like that. Short on time to go in depth tonight, but feel free to ask any other questions. Though the other devs here are better suited than me.
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
Link to the MCU version for this Joying unit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frxm0uNSTtE&feature=youtu.be&t=1256

So guys, you've already lost me. So if I go with this JY-UO135N4PX5, basically I only get whatever updates Joying provides, and no other options - is that correct?
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
I'm an engineer, so I regularly experience "analysis paralysis" while trying to make a decision. I get caught up on the details, which is especially difficult in areas like this where there are lots of details, but sparse and scattered over a wide area!

I want a 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM - pretty much because the numbers are higher, which makes me happy. I want a physical volume knob. I originally looked at the Eonon GA2170. The Joying unit caught my eye because it's got a SRC button, which would be handy for quickly switching between sources.

So given that I want a 4GB/32GB unit and a volume knob, what do you guys recommend that I look for?

Back in the day, I had one of the original Rio Car ("empeg") head units installed in my 1995 E36 M3. Man, that was a killer setup. I had my whole collection with me. I had a 60GB unit, which had to use two 30GB drives because drives were so small at the time.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
I would skip the n4 px5, it's a different OEM that isn't easily modified. the P2 models are the best, although currently limited to 2gb/32gb
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
Are the P2 units a board platform, similar to MTCD/E? Is Joying the only supplier for P2 units, or are there others? You mention that the P2 platform is currently the best - best in what way?

Here's a Joying P2 unit with the front panel I like (but limited to 2GB as you note):

https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-h...em-touch-screen-head-unit-with-bluetooth.html

I suppose I could wait until 4GB units start becoming the norm. Great information here, guys. Thanks a bunch. I'll make sure I give back to the community by documenting my install (and my on-the-road towing experiences!) once I get to that point.

- Chris
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
The OEM manufacturer is FYT (fyttek) they have a SoM module platform. The Intel Sofia by joying uses their 5009/6021 modules...they make a variety of modules for different resellers. Their latest SoM is the 6026 which is similar to the 6021, but with a px5 instead of the Intel. They are big in China, though a few resellers do use their platform to sell globally. They are not MTCD/E, they use their own MCU. I've had MTC units, as well as FYT based units, I like the FYT stuff better for the moment. Easier to work with.
[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
I prefer my $299 Pumpkin 8.0 unit to my $1100 Alpine AA unit.
[Android Head-Units] gtxaspec:
Same here, though I'm sure the audio quality on the Alpine is superior, functionality is night and day between them.
[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
I wouldn't say the audio is hugely better. I have two setups I have done for my Jeep and F150 in the past 3 months.

Jeep: Alpine i207-WRA, JL HD905/4 Amplifier, JBL GTO609C Premium 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System - 2 sets, Rockford Fosgate Prime R1L-2X12 2x12" subwoofer box

F150: Pumpkin 8.0, Rockford Fosgate P1683 6x8" 260 Watt 3 Way Car Coaxial Speakers Audio - 2 sets, Rockford Fosgate P400-4 400 Watt 4-Channel Amplifier, JL 12" PowerWedge, JL Audio tweeters

The Jeep setup was over $3200, the F150 about half that (my goal was under $1000, but then added the PowerWedge subwoofer) - (prices include installation)

Using XM Radio in both the results are I have more lower end bass in the F150 due to the sub setup (and a Loudness setting that appears missing from the Alpine unit) and both have the same crisp sound. For streaming I feel the results are also the same at normal volumes.

Where the difference is, if you want to really crank it up the Jeep will go way and above the F150 with the dual 12" subs and better amp. But the reality for me these days is not cranking it, its just enjoying it without making my hearing any worse for wear than it already is after years of doing these kinds of systems.

I would gladly spend half what I spent on the Jeep.
[Android Head-Units] chrispitude:
I've spent too much time browsing AliExpress auctions, and I really like the button layout (with SRC button) of the Joying units. However, the only 4GB Joying unit with that button layout is the N4 (JY-UO135N4PX5) unit. The P2 version of this Joying unit comes in 2GB only.

Do you think the 4GB/32GB unit in the following AliExpress auction is a hardware clone of the Joying N4 unit?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbobeckyj:
spb has a forum;)

but go to settings (click and hold on the today screen probably will work) select the feature options of the today plugin and de-select all-but-one of the tabs (don't worry it will probably ask if you want to save all the items in the tabs you get rid of, and add them to the remaining tab for you)

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] GotJsv:
Hi,

I'm new to the forum, and I have searched for an answer but have not found anything.

Hopefully it's a no-brainer for u experts out here.

I'm very tempted to try an update available for MTCD_MX - later than my 1.97b.

I have 5.1.1 MTCD_MX built into my car, and it works great with the original buttons of the dashborad & steering Wheel etc.

Anyhow, at the moment I have no possibility to change the key-mapping in my unit (nothing happen when I open the Key-mapping tool that came with the unit) so I want to know if an update from 1.97b to 2.59 will have any effect on the key mapping at all?

Or maybe there are other reasons why I sohuld / should not do an update - if so, please let me know.

If anyone knows this, please let me know in advance of doing something I would regret :)

Thanks in advance

Hello, you must modify the car model in the setting factory. You can try GM RAISE
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] tlatech:
I am running a px5 in a 2010 Insignia and running MX_2.75 on it with all the key mapping running fine. From what I can tell (and I am open to correction here) the key mapping is all done through the canbus adapter - this is why you can't change the key assignments (so my supplier in the UK says).
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] GotJsv:
Thanks both for your comment.

Are updates possible through USB or is mandatory with SD-card via GPS-slot necessary?

(I failed my attempt with USB - so everything was restored to factory, still 1.97b)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] tlatech:
I use USB without a problem. Are you sure that it is a suitable img?

You might also need to update to Android 6.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] AnonymousPenguin:
You cant use key mapping because it's CANBUS buttons. Updates won't fix this. You can use the app in the development section to address this issue.

I just upgraded to a px5 with 4gb - it's quicker, but remapping is not an option.

Iv got a Firestick V2 for Xmas. Its just in the TV and I hardly do anything with it. I do however use torrents quite a lot via a seedbox and torrent site. But i cannot get certain things like live events at the time they are being shown. I do have certain places to go and try to get to watch these but they are not reliable at all and every time i want to watch something it always changes and im forever trying to find a feed to watch the one program.

Anyway I was going to ask anyone can suggest a app to put on the Firestick to enable the watching of sports streams? And if so just let me know then ?I can reserch it and get it put on thank you.. Iv also got a iPad the other day have been thinking about doing the same with that as I have already got a VPN up and running on the ipad,,

Tmobile works too

Thanks a lot for the guide. I was able to get TWRP, encryption, Magisk, Xposed (non-systemless), and VoLTE on T-mobile USA working. I used the customer.xml located in "XAA/TMB" folder (located in zip file) from CSC selection 2.50 thread you have linked. I am on Android 7.0. Just wanted to post for those who were interested.

Only thing I changed was to keep the customer.xml file rw- r-- r-- 644 instead of the suggested 755. Don't think it makes a difference.

I did try multiple times to get Systemless Xposed working, but it would always freeze up on the screen with the unlocking icon when booting up. If anyone gets stuck there, just hold Vol Down + Home + Power until phone restarts. Power the device off when you can (will be able to access the power menu on the secure boot password screen). Go back to recovery -> format data -> go through setup process again. After setup is complete, the phone will not have an encrypted /data partition. You have to go back into recovery -> run Magisk uninstaller -> format data -> install tweakpro-tima.zip / no-verity-opt-encyrpt-5.1.zip -> go through setup again. You might be able to run Magisk uninstaller on the first boot to recovery, but I am just posting the process I went through.

If anyone is able to get Systemless Xposed working, please do share. I hate running phones without XPrivacyLua.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] oFillo:
So I've hit a snag with this whole process, i waited for 7 days got TWRP installed, rooted and everything,(encryption was not important to me), but attempted option 1 for getting Verizon Volte working with no luck. (things never seem to work the easy way), so i did option 2 with installing the US CSC per the instructions and that went all fine and dandy.. but when I boot up the phone into the system and it ask me to choose the network for my sim it shows 2 options VZW and VZW. When selecting first option it says device needs to reboot to apply features so I click OK and it attempts to reboot but then goes straight into recovery blocking whatever process it was doing. If i select the second VZW it just does nothing. Was curious if any insight or advice can be given on this. I'm in no way at a pro at all this just want to enjoy a Samsung phone with a psychical home button and a none weird screen ratio haha. Thanks and much appreciated ahead of time!

[General Questions and Answers] xda_football:
Hello,

first, I'm happy i've found this forum, so many cool people discussing simply everything psosible about Android is great.

I'd really like to know your oppinion to this topic:

Do you think travelling with the premium smartphones of today (with full possible protection like cases and screen protectors) is nearly possible anymore?

If I look at the premium smartphones from right now: the S9, S8, LG G6, the iPhone X...

I see: smartphones with big displays, really small bezels and bodys totally out of glass!

Can a modern smartphone with the best cases and screen protectors be a relatively reliable partner on a travel or are they just 100% designed to look good?

If I look at for example the Galaxy S8 active, I see that beautiful design and functionality can harmonize together! Sadly there are nearly no active versions from other manufacturers at all and the S8 active is really rare.
[General Questions and Answers] xda_football:
Addition to the starting post

I don't want the main question of this topic (if modern smartphones can be taken on a travel anymore) to move into the background because of my personal question, that's why i'm not adding this into the starting post:

My story behind this is:

I'll probably go to Mexico for a longer time soon (that's a big thing belonging to where I live) and because I don't like carrying big cameras with me, I want to buy a good smartphone camera.

The problem is, that the best smartphone cameras are new smartphones (S8, S9, G6 etc.) and all of these have the extremely weak attributes I described above.

So the dilemma I am into now is:

Should I buy an older or cheaper smartphone with a relatively bad camera or should I risk to take a modern glass smartphone to Mexico, which could be destroyed after one drop?

Please take into consideration that this is my first post and I'm no native english speaker.:o

Good Morning Everyone,

Just inquiring to see if there is a way of how to obtain your MSL code for Sprint without calling customer service.

Does my Note 5 phone have to be rooted or not or is there an application within the google play store or a 3rd party apk that i can download to obtain this code.

I believe you have to go into the settings after pressing ##3282 and then edit but it is asking for a code.

And if by chance i do have to call customer service what would be a valid reason for trying to get this from them.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the post. I'm giving the app a go, and so far, it works well. I have a question regarding app elements, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips. I'm going with a black theme, and when I apply it, there are a few elements in a couple of apps that are turning out all black. One is calculator. The numbers are fine, but the symbol keys are all blacked out, making them invisible. The second is dialer. Everything looks alright, except for the FAB for the number pad. It's all black.

For primary color, I used #000000, and for accent, I used #ffffff. Am I doing this right?

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Figured it out. I had to change the primary color from black to something else.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gadget069:
In trying to use Substranium on Oreo and isn't working very well. Disappointed for sure. Hopefully the $2 I spent will fix the bugs
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] HIcycles:
The only reason I chose to go with this app as opposed to Substratum is because the bar for entry with this app is really low, comparatively. I have an S8 Active which is not rooted (nor am I planning to root). This means I have to download Andromeda ($2) and the desktop script in order to get Substratum to work. And I have no guarantee that it will work well. I have to pay $2 to find out, and then request a refund if it doesn't. With this app, I download one app, no additional app(s) to install, and no desktop script to run after every reboot. Plus, I don't have to deal with paying, only to request a refund later if things don't work out.

It may not be as pretty, but it's functional for my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tonybahr:
After oreo substratum and andromeda aren't working on my note 8 so I tried this app again after months of not using it. Its come a long way. I freaking love being able to do ANY color notifications I want with ANY color text! I don't think people realize what this app can do now. I see people that basically just want black notifications with white text so it can be easily read. In my opinion it blows substratum out of the water even when I did have it working on nougat. This may be my favorite app ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryaneu:
So this is just a Trial app and you have to pay to unlock all features? And I think its not fully compatible with OREO yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tonybahr:
Oreo compatible. Is not a trial, it has features that require a donation but it's functional without those couple of options. Also it s a trail breaker built in. So themes will stick without messing with disabling anything.
