[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mik-el:
Here's one of the projects that took the place of the Galaxy Ace, lately.​

In March under the guise of a contest, I learned a bit about Unity and C#.

I made a video game that can be played in stereoscopic 3D on any monitor, without expensive 3D screens or glasses!

The Londoner developers of HoloSDK have done their evaluation... and my app is in the top 5!

Now to win and get first place, we need the public rating!

⚠️ Apply this guide by September 27, 2021!​

Hi, developer here, I'm back for this.

From September 27, 2021, Google will block its Gapps on devices with Android 2.3 and below. I devised this guide to make a special backup and get around the lockout.

The guide is "calibrated" from my Galaxy Ace ROM so it should work!

Hurry up and Apply my guide in time! ⏰

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mik-el:
Updates, Android 7 browser on Android 2.3 (other devs and I are working on it)​

Hello everyone, how are you guys? As you can see the development of this custom ROM for Galaxy Ace is still "paused" after 2 years or so.

Unfortunately, Android 4 runs slow on the Galaxy ACE, and the battery usage is very high. So I opted for Android 2.3, moreover, many 2.X devices can't be updated at all.

Many people contacted me asking to port the ROM for the ace s5830i or other phones, but making a ROM for each device is a bit a waste of time, so I decided to start coding new apps that could run on every Android 2.3 device and I thought about a method to quickly remix any old 2.3 Rom, removing bloatware and installing new/better apps, with a script.

So yeah, basically I'm working to make Android 2 usable again!

(I wrote a guide on how how to develop and backport apps for Android 2, I' m working on an updated browser with Android 5 or 7 web standards... and much more!)

I just made a small telegram group with other developers I met on this thread and on the XDA forum. It's faster to communicate and when we'll finish something, we'll post it on XDA.

Currently we're working to port the Android 5 or 7 browser to Android 2.3.

Would you like to test the apks we're developing or see what's going on?

(I also made a website where I embedded some youtube videos that can be watched from the old 2.3 browsers and I need some feedback).

In Xperia Play (as in the entire line of Xperia 2011) is a Qualcomm MSM8255 with Adreno 205 and ARMv7

S5830 has Qualcomm MSM7227T with Adreno 200 and ARMv6
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mik-el:
The HW was "similar" considering they both were Android 2.3 devices. Actually I don't know why I said they had same CPU and GPU. Strange...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ulumia:
It seems that the capabilities of Android at the time did not allow to make the control of the music player in the notification bar

But smartphone manufacturers (such as Samsung, HTC and others) could modify the notification bar and the music player to control music from the notification bar

On my Acer Liquid mt even has a separate tab in the notification bar to control the music (screenshot attached)

So we need to modify the notification bar and the music player

This is only my suggestion

Appreciate your work but 2.3 is not usable in 2023
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Galaxy A40:
Not really, I forgot my account details (GT-I9515 csual user) and had to create a new one. I jrarely use my Ace nowadays.

I do not use my Ace for browsing the web anymore. Even if a browser is ported to my device, I have some doubts, whether web-browsing would be a smooth and fast experience given that websites nowadays are written with higher hardware expectations in mind. But it would still be very cool though.

I have also tried web alternatives such as gopher and gemini on my Ace.

Overbite for android works quite well, but Phaedra (https://codeberg.org/oppenlab/Phaedra) crashes on startup.

I probably have to agree with this one.

I am not a Telegram user. But I am curious, does Telegram still work on android 2.3?

Err, and does anyone know where to get the usb driver for the Ace for Windows?

@Mik-el

Hi dev, do you still have a working download link for your latest "Mich-C"? I got an Ace lying around at home collecting dust. Also, does it come with Gapps? Because at this point those are arguably dead weight, any fun or utility to be had with 2.3 should honestly focus on capable native offline apps. Music player, compass and so on.

Hey all,

I just bought a pumpkin android octo core, 4GB ram Android 8 head unit.

This isn't my first android HU. So some quick thoughts...

Very nice they gave a good WiFi antenna with the included kit.

This unit has something odd about it that I need some guidance on... it supports some super fast boot up where if I put the igntion on , the unit is ready to go in a second.

I wonder is this a battery built into the unit? Is it using some large capacitor (tested at least 1hr after shutdown, bootup took 1 second) I very much hope it's not draining the car battery (old android head unit never did).

Everything seems lightning fast on this unit. I can finally even use Google assistant. I sort of could with the last Joying one, but it was just too slow to be practical... as was waiting 5 minutes to be able to use the GPS.

This is literally day zero, as in I just got it a few hours ago so I'll be updating this and testing anything people want me to test later... but I have one other issue and that is that there seems to be a slight hissing sound coming from the unit .. .even with the levels turned way down in the factory settings app... not sure what's causing that but it's a bit of an issue while there's no music playing / not driving around.

Some pics of course :

I got it from Amazon. Cost me £250 on-sale.
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
The sleep mode you're talking about is the "Auto" setting in the sleep settings menu, I think it's under the "Extra Settings" menu entry. It basically keeps the unit on in a low power mode indefinitely until it gets a 12v+ signal on the red wire behind the radio. During this time though, it's still drawing from your vehicle's battery. Unless your car has a low capacity battery or other charging system issues, it shouldn't be a problem for you. I've left my truck sitting for over a week with the radio in sleep mode and it fired right up to whatever screen I left it on.

Since this is your first unit, don't get hung up on brand names. All of these units are basically either a PX3 or a PX5, and the roms and programs you'll find on these boards are broken down based on what processor is in it. Theres a dozen different brand names, but they're all basically the same three units.
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
Thanks Hazard15301 it's good to know. I travel a lot for work and often leave my car in airport car parks for weeks. It has a good AGM battery so I guess I should be ok.
[MTCD Software Development] zeMadCat:
from what i can tell, that box is actually the design Erisin uses on their boxes. and the headunit im pretty sure is a Klyde. what is the MCU version on it?
[MTCD Software Development] skezza:
I left my car for well over a week with my unit in 'sleep' mode. Started up no problem :)
[MTCD Software Development] imogenheap:
Hi, how did you download Google Assistant onto the pumpkin head unit? And can it work just like the phone - playing specific songs in Spotify etc? Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
Google assistant is built-in to the android OS on it. Just enable it and say "OK Google". It can do anything you can do on your phone (although i'm now having trouble with it making phone calls because it thinks it's a phone.. on my old unit it would just bluetooth to the phone and make the call ... the new one won't make calls for some reason - haven't had time to figure out why yet) ... very happy with this unit. This is what Android head units should be like. Everything works, and it's fast.
[MTCD Software Development] imogenheap:
Thank you very much for the quick reply!

Is the Google assistant an app on its own in the HU? Do I have to click the app first in order to say “ok Google”?

Or can I be on any screen and say “ok Google” and it’ll work?

thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
It's already there, installed as part of the OS, but you have to enable it.

open the Google app (again, built in / pre-installed)

At the bottom right, tap More More and then Settings and then Voice.

Under "Okay Google," tap Voice match.

Turn on Access with voice match.

It's not a separate app, it's just in the "google" app (it's just literally called Google on mine)

Once you enable it ... you can just say "OK Google" from any screen ... you don't have to press anything / open any app first.

For some reason I have to set my language to English US (I'm British) otherwise it says English UK isn't supported.

Cheers

Follow up on unit

Hello, I know this is an old post, however i would like to know how your Pumpkin stereo has held up? Even if you no longer have the head unit or you sold your car, what was your thoughts during the time you had it?

I am considering putting one in my VW Jetta, as i noticed you also had it in a VW and would appreciate your input?

Thanks in advance
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
Hi

I still have the headunit, and I'm really happy with it. It has served me very well while i've had it. It has never failed, crashed, slowed down etc and I've never needed to mess around with custom ROMs or anything. I can still install apps from the play store etc. Waze works perfectly, as does google maps.

I did purchase poweramp for it and the controls on the steering wheel work just fine too. So I would still recommend it. This is my second android headunit and it's so much better than my first Joying one stuck on android 5 and had only 1GB of RAM and it was sooo slow that GPS was almost unusable. But this one is lightning fast, it goes into standby when you turn off the car so when you turn it back on it's up and running straight away.. no waiting to boot.

The radio is a bit crap though, if that bothers you (I never listen to it) .. it doesn't recieve signals very well and I did hook up the power to the antenna and I did set it to Europe region (where I live) but yeah it doesn't pick up that many channels for some reason but since I either stream music or listen to MP3s from the memory card, i'm not too bothered about that.

One other strange bug, on my old android head unit I could use google assistant / say OK Google and say "Call work" or whomever, and it would dial on my phone. This one seems to think it's a phone , and says that there is no service. But not a big problem, I can press the phone button and just dial .. but it would be nice if I could do it by speaking to it.

Overall, very happy.
[MTCD Software Development] zapper_master:
Thank you so much for the quick response. Your information is VERY helpful. I do realize none are going to be perfect, but it sounds decent unit for the price. Do you mind sharing what model you got? unless you mentioned it earlier in the thread then i apologize for asking.
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
No worries, feel free to ask me as many questions about it as you like and i'll try to answer.

With regards to which model,

The amazon listing said "Pumpkin Android 8.0 Car Stereo for VW Golf Passat Polo

4GB RAM Sat Nav Bluetooth Support CD DVD GPS DAB+ WIFI Android Auto"

if i check the about menu on the unit itself it says it's a "PX5"
[MTCD Software Development] zapper_master:
Thank you I appreciate it. Looks like the internals are all about the same on most models with just small differences.

Enjoy your evening.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories] steveblue:
With no headphone jack - and at times a need to charge and listen - it is either bluetooth headphone or getting a usb-c dongle that does both charging and headphones in one ( for nighttime - for car). I am less of a bluetooth headphones guy ( hate to have to deal charging headphones) so was looking for a simple usb-c splitter that does both headphones and charging. Trouble is there are articles and reviews stating how many of the these dual usb-c dongles do not work (they do not charge) on many different kinds of phones . Has anyone found a good one that works ( charges while listening) on the mi A2. I see this has better ratings than many others.

Can anyone also reccomend a good working faster charger for the mi A2
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories] kesadisan:
if you're looking to use the phone while driving car, you could always get a bluetooth module to hook on your aux input.

as for charging it, really you could just hook up the module to your car charger all day, it won't damage it. Maybe just use those lighter charger with multiple usb in it, so you can hook the bluetooth module on one port, and the other port for your phone.

I have done reviews of the Soulsound Dongle on Essential and Pixel 2 and I am impressed. Fast charging works on both those phones and sound quality is amazing.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories] elzafir:
I can confirm that the Baseus L45 Type-C Male to Type-Female + 3.5mm Female Adapter works flawlessly on Mi A2, running stock Pie 10.0.2.0. I can do voice calls (both phone calls and games, tested with PUBG Mobile) and charge at the same time. Mic works. I use a Xiaomi IEH Pro HD, headset remote volume control works, middle button works to bring up Google Assistant. The adapter costs me $5 in Indonesia.

Product page: http://www.baseus.com/product-295?lang=en-us

Volume might be a little low (around the same as the stock dongle) but that is due to a software bug on the phone that followed EU's low headphone volume regulation regardless of whichever region we chose. [MENTION=4170920]onbeskarakterli[/MENTION] fixed the bug through a Magisk mod (needs to unlock bootloader and root): https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/themes/magisk-low-headphone-volume-fix-t3886008

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Hi,

Like I mentioned in "my" Joying PX5 review thread, I was (and still am) happy with the Joying PX5 and the nicely functioning split-screen on Android 8 like I mentioned in my video review on youtube.

What I didn't like at all was that the FYT/Joying apps lack the split-screen functionality (see here), which is so easy to accomplish, like I explain a little later.

It only requires one line in the AndroidManifest.xml.

I also mentioned that the Joying/FYT apks are signed which made it impossible to hack them because a changed AndroidManifest makes the signing invalid, which is why I can't do this..

Wrong!

By completely internally renaming them inside every smali file (for example from com.syu.bt to com.syu.btss -> ss for splitscreen), recompiling them and giving them a completely different signing it works. It took me only 15-20 minutes per apk. Of course I used some linux commands to do this for me. On Windows this would have taken much longer.

See images attached. I hacked the radio app and the BT app.

I'm the first to admit that in their current state they look horrible as the layout is not designed for split-screen, but that is not the point. Android also gives you easy options for your layout.xml files on how to behave in splitscreen mode: almost automatically.

Anyway: Making them ready for split-screen was the easy part. Reworking the layout files to adapt automatically to split-screen will take more time, which I don't have at the moment but it is a nice target to go for.
[FYT Android Head Units] warata:
Nice!

[FYT Android Head Units] julien_blanche:
thanks for the tip @surfer63 , is this method applies for android 10 joying? hence i dont have split screen by default and using 3rd party apps doesnt work very well.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I don't know what you mean. Apart from the Settings app, all FYT apps do now display in 50:50 on all the Androi 10 FYT models.

So what's your issue with Android 10? Do you have images?
[FYT Android Head Units] julien_blanche:
I have Joying 13.3" model with uis 7862 and it was the only model that joying didnt provide split screen function. When I press the recent app button there is no option for the apps for split screen. I think something is missing related with systemui.apk file
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Can you try the "split screen launcher"? I use that one anyway to put some shortcuts in my home screen for often used combinations.

It will tell you if screen is enabled at all.
[FYT Android Head Units] julien_blanche:
