[Android Head-Units] Moufa:
Hello,

I am using an android head unit (px30) in a ford Mondeo mk4. Suddenly the screen did not power on and found that the canbus stopped working. I need to buy a replacement one, but I need to ensure that will work in the specific model. I 've tried to ask sellers in aliexpress (dasaita, isudar, etc) but they can't confirm that will work. Should I take the risk and buy one? Is there a way to check and pick the correct one? (Mondeo does not have ACC connection pin to power on red wire coming from iso cable through the harness, it needs canbus and CANL+CANH will tell the unit when to power or not, so i had to modify and connect both red-ACC with yellow-Power cables together but now I have to shut down the unit on my own). So Is there a way to find the correct canbus for ford or does not matter which one to buy and confirm only the car model?

Thanks and Regards,

Tasos
[Android Head-Units] nic2k:
I take it you didn't buy your HU from Aliexpress or you could just ask your original seller to sell you a new one. In theory any Mondeo MK4 CANbus box should work if all you need is to control power and illumination as those are separate wires coming out of the CANbus box. You might get compatibility issues if the new box doesn't translate all the bus messages your HU needs for other features like temperature, open doors...

I would suggest you start by opening the broken box and re-solder all the connector pins and any other pins of roughly the same size you see.
[Android Apps and Games] Mark2dp:
I wanted an app that would offer a service like the Keepa's one and designed for smartphones.

There are other solutions on Google Play but no one satisfied me in features and UI. So I decided to create one by myself. This app is called Reprice and it's a beatiful Amazon price tracker.

From a product Amazon page, you can share it with Reprice which will ask you if you want to get notified when price drops under a desired value or every time it changes. Done. From this moment you have only to wait for the notification.

(I'm also implementing the possibility to get notified only if the product is sold by Amazon or only by third part sellers, or from all)

As today is available for free in UK, France, Germany and Italy. Planned to release it in other countries.

What do you think and which features would you expect from an app like this?

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] p00h:
Hi,

First Post, first question. I bought an XDA Orbit 2 and flashed it with Bepe 0.67 - now, after reinstalling Tom Tom 6 the internal GPS Receiver is not displayed/provided in the Tom Tom Config Menue anymore.

Is there any chance to reinstall it? GPS setting in WM6.1 is set to 4800 and COM4. Thank you very much!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] p00h:
1 week passed, anyone an idea?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
Hi,

Internal GPS setting never worked in Tom Tom 6 on my Polaris. I use Other NMEA, COM4, 38400 and Tom Tom 6 works fine with these settings. Hope it helped.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] p00h:
I already did try this settings but it didn't work :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwaradzyn:
Can you get GPS working in other apps? If not then you propably have incompatible radio and system ROMs. It happen to me after flashing new ROMs (build 195XX or 199XX) and keeping original radio ROM - everything worked except GPS. I flashed 1.64.08.21 radio and it started to work again.

You can download this radio from: All Polaris Radio ROMS collected thread
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] p00h:
Thanks a lot man! I already did try flashing the Radio ROM also, but not that particular one. I will give it a try for sure and keep you posted about the result ;)

Google messages app on tablet works in connection with Google messages on phone. It connects just like on a PC browser
[Connected Car] xiangwuzei:
Aloha,

It readily connects to a car, or F-150 in my case, but it constantly gives the above^ message every time you push the media button in the car, just in case you ever tire of commercials on the radio. I deleted the connection a couple of times before figured out it was the phone blocking it. I think it is similar to the constant Privacy Guard notices, "XYZ app will not be able to access your personal information." But the phone is not personal information. It is an appendage that connects you to WWW.:cyclops:

I want to listen to my music, not commercials. Calls can be made, but I have not yet received a call so not sure if that works. I know I saw in an earlier version release notes, 14.1, release notes it says it can't connect to cars. So it is an improvement. And haven't tested 17.1 since [MENTION=8276284]Claymore1297[/MENTION] 's Rom for 10 android, 17.1 (which I used initially,) says in its' internal workings that it is in fact Android 17.1. Only discovered this because his version of Gapps for Android 10 won't install because of it. (note the Gapps site does not as of yesterdays have a build for 10 or 17.1 at least not of the stock.)

The other pertinent details are my device is an HTC One M9 with a battery life of only three or four clicks most times, but works when plugged into an external power source e.g. the car.

I may have just found a solution. Google Play Protect is the source of above mentioned Privacy Guard. Disable it. Or just go into Google setting and turn off. Which is what I just did. But Now I need to drive somewhere and (I have had to much to drink, 2 beers at 7.8%) So It can wait till tomorrow. （Alas Google is trying to run our lives. Even after disabling in Google settings and rebooting it still pop ups saying Privacy Guard is protecting you from yourself. Time to disable in app settings.) I just noted the fact that when I click on the i icon it takes me to the Android System app info. So maybe it is not the Google self protection service, but I need to verify in apps if it re-enabled itself. Far too many Google and carrier apps can do this. So much for painting the Google machine black, the setting is still turned off. (this is turning into a step by step trial and error solution post.)

p.s. [MENTION=7050182]MishaalRahman[/MENTION] 2004+1^n Thanks

p.s.s I just checked the Lineage official website (See No Links in initial post) and there is only a build on there for HTC One 2014 (m8) no m9.

My theory as of now is that Bluetooth is just another app that is Guarded to death, rather than notified to death:eek:
[Connected Car] xiangwuzei:
It was just the Bluetooth permission for HD audio

For some dumb reason, the settings for individual bluetooth pairings has a number of permissions not enabled by default. Just enable it then delete the connection stored in the vehicles and I've got tunes. No scratchiness in previous versions.:rolleyes:

But the vehicle still complains with the same message because I don't allow contacts.

I've seen it's a trend not to have 1080p 60fps on Pie roms, is there any way, magisk module, setting or any ported camera to do so?

Also could someone help me understand why is this happening? Since oneplus it's a dev-friendly company releasing sources and on top of that our device has native Pie support I don't understand why we don't get 1080p60fps in custom as well, thanks everyone in advance

Yeah, of course I have tried, I did some research and found out that I'm not the first one pointing this out, there's this thread and also this reddit post which talks about some OOS camera libs in the comments but I haven't been able to find those anywhere.

I later asked on the Telegram group for Havoc (ROM i'm using right now) and, the guy didn't think twice to tell me that the only option was stock

Hey Thanks so much for this post. However, for Option 2 , the command is not working , Then i tried dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist, it worked but the issue was not solved.

and for Option 4 . i pressed the flash_all.bat but nth came out , so i installed fastboot files into the fastboot file and when i click the flashall.bat it worked . but then after setting up , my IMEI , Wifi and simcard were still dead

Any suggestion?

Once again im soo grateful for this but my 16 thanks limit is up :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Okay, I am getting ready to go to bed so this post will be brief. Persist issues are usually caused by encryption, or somehow the persist image gets wiped. I used a spellchecker and I think it added the space. Doh!

Try using adb command : fastboot flash persist persist .img

1. You must first put a copy of the persist image from the Images folder into the ADB folder, or open the ADB window from within the extracted folder.

2. If this works then use flashall.bat method to restore phone. if it fails with the 11.6 Rom then try an older one.

If this fails:

I assume that you do not have a backup that you can restore? if so by all means do that first. Because it will absolutely work. Next remember that you must wipe the phone completely including formatting userdata/storage. and use the TWRP that I listed above.

Please explain exactly how you arrived at this issue, and don't leave out details. How did you arrive at this issue? If you were editing the IMEI then tell me , that requires restoring a QCN file and using QPST. (That issue is not really a persist issue, not at all.) But I don't mind attempting to helping you figure it out. Did you ever flash a persist image that someone posted somewhere?

Be sure that you are using a fastboot images rom specifically for your device, is it a Global or Chinese device?

Again please provide details.

This way we dont waste time taking non relative steps.

So you tried the flashall.bat steps? What should happen is the ADB windows will open and each partition image is flashed one by one, when it's complete, you will see the Miui setup page and then you sign into Wifi then you miCloud account.

Edit

[MENTION=8231530]Theevanz[/MENTION]

I found a flashable file to restore the persist for the Oreo version of the Chinese Mi8. If you a have global device it will not work. However, I used a program called beyond compare to figure out how this file works. if all goes well, I may have a flashable fix for you tomorrow. I plan to simply make a flashable file that will flash the Global Version of the persist image to the persist partition. You will still need to be fully wiped and formatted, so you do not get a write error message. Don't worry we will get this. I have had the exact same issue happens to me and I was able to get my phone working again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] CMBoii:
Thanks for the guide tsongming.

You have absolutely helped all of us more than once. I've been using custom roms for more than 7 years and I didn't even know what "persist" partition was.

I'm currently using the TWRP made by mauronofrio because I haven't had any issue yet. However, as you explained the only TWRP that can backup the persist partition is LR Team one. Would you suggest me to flash this version and make a backup of the partition and then swap again to my original version of TWRP?

I know the questions is quite WTF but atm asking is free.

Thanks for your help.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Theevanz:
Hi, so i will say the whole issue i had. I will miss out some details along the way as it happened very long ago

So i started installing custom rom for my Dipper and everything was fine until one day that i try to download a app on the playstore that promises to enable camera2API to improve my phone camera quailty . after i gave it root access via magisk and started the process, my phone just went down into a bootloop.

So i reinstalled my rom and my camera was not working , after some digging finally realise my persist was missing.

i tried to use MI FLASH TOOL to try to install back my persist but to no avail.

then i flashed persist from the fastboot rom (Im not sure if it was global or china but im having a global phone) and cleaned (Format data , advance wipe everything ) and reflashed my rom(Pixel experience rom - it was actually quite stable as no one was complaining the same issue) .

then after awhile , my phone start going into a bad state where it would go into a boot loop every 2 weeks or smth like that and then it would say "mount /data/..../..../.../..... (structure needs cleaning)" or sometimes persist. and i will do a clean install (Formatt , advance wipe everything, reboot back into recovery ,flash my rom ) over and over again ever few weeks . until like a few days ago , my phone died at 0 percent and when i plugged in the power bank it said 7 percent (Something wrong with the battery?? ) and i immediately powered it on and that happened .

Now the symptoms of my phone is that it cannot connect to the wifi , neither detect the sim card , no imei , apps will sometimes hang for awhile before responding , while starting it up , it will enter a black screen for ard 1 min before it shows the lock screen .

Thats about all i can think of ....

Update :

I tried the method u suggested on the fastboot flash persist persist.img . but it says partition is write protected , ima go sleep . thanks for the effort . ill send thanks when my 12 per day wears off
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Absolutely because although that version that you use works, it does not backup the persist partition and DTBO partition individually and it doesn't restore it. ( The problem with restoring persist is that it has to be your persist no else's will work) I would strongly recommend using the LR Team Version simply to make the backup and then store it to your Desktop, then if you ever need it. You will need to use the LR Team version to restore.

You need to backup everything except for:

Data

System

System Image

The partitions I backup are:

Cache

Boot

DTBO

Recovery

Vendor

Vendor Image

Firmware

Persist

Bluetooth

DSP

Cust

@ Theevanz

What you describe sounds like a combination of encryption and the persist, it also sounds like you did not flash DM verity on a Rom that called for it. The only version of DM verity that I know to work is the August version, later versions do not work. ( I don't know why)

Yes, when you come back. and click thanks . Remember that the phone must be fully wiped and Formatted.

IT Must be absolutely Formatted, ( type yes, reboot to recovery) wiping alone is not good enough..

The description that you gave, sounds alot like what i was dealing with. but in my case the phone would not even boot after a couple of days.

I have helped quite a few people with this exact issue and flashall.bat alone should work.

Flashall. Bat Steps

Boot to Fastboot

Download fastboot dipper images rom, and use flashall.bat method to restore the phone.

Download dipper_global_images_rom / It has to be a fastboot rom and not a Recovery rom

Unpack the rom twice on your desktop

You will be left with a folder and inside you will see batch files and a image folder.

Doubleclick Flashall.bat ( be careful on what you click, you want flashall.bat only) with the phone attached an in Recovery mode, fastboot or EDL

Flashall.bat is a batch script that will wipe your phone and restore all images, and then boot to system.

You should then Setup rom

Afterwards install TWRP and root then create a full Twrp backup and save to your PC.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] CMBoii:
Thanks for your reply.

I've downloaded the twrp for android 9 (currently using los16) but it seems that it's a .zip. Can I flash it via TWRP or shall I flash it using fastboot mode?

Moreover, I don't know what actually are those all partitions you backup for.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Yes its a zip, it will write to the Recovery. if you are nervous you can unpack it and you will see the image, that you can flash instead.

The partitions are selected by default, double check to make sure. These partitions are the one that you need if your partitions are damaged. personally, I have found persist and DBO to be exceptionally useful. However, be sure to back them all up, I have seen issues on other phones where these partition backups are lifesavers.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Leoleo96:
Sorry, may be i don't understand english so good. I tryed to instal persist (taking .img file from a fastboot ROM Global) partition with your twrp, the process is completed but wifi, signal still not work.

I don't have my backup of that partition because mine doesn't exist any more.

After flashing it i still can't see any file in /persist folder (via twrp) is it normal? Or just cant see folder contenent via twrp?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] CMBoii:
So the other file that comes in the .zip is not important?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
No, You just flash the zip, there is a code that tells it to flash to recovery.

I was just letting you know that the image was inside the unpacked zip, and it can be flashed traditionally. Personally, I always flash the zip.
