I have an issue with the local banking app (m-ba) and I'm on STOCK rom - OOS 11, rooted of course. The app can run "fine", but refuses to enable NFC payments because it detects root. Tried all the mentioned steps. It's mind boggling how they accomplish this, and why the hell they even bother...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
As much as we all like custom ROMs and root, they really are a security risk. Less than 10% of smartphone users root their phones so these banks don't see the need to cater to such a small percentage who sees a benefit versus the rest who just see risks. Now imagine the flip side... Someone gets ahold of your phone and roots it with a keylogger and malware payload so they can exfiltrate your data and now your bank just discovered it and told you. I think the second scenario is what these banks and other finance companies do these checks for, not to inconvenience the rest of us who intentionally break the security on our devices.

Is there anyone who know how to extract the FMRadio program from official WM5 rom?

I find that the FMRadio program in official WM6 rom is of ver 6.0.2.0 which has the problem of system slow after using FMRadio while that in WM5 is of ver 6.0.1.6 which does not have the problem. So I want to use the FMRadio program of ver 6.0.1.6 in WM6 rom. Is it possible? thanks!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] bravedoan:
Yes, you can. Up ROM WM5 by cable, after that up ROM WM6 or WM6.1 by SD after cutting first 12byte of FLASH.DIO & save as file AL1.DIO.

For all my Joying units, I'd like to keep the status bar visible at all times, no matter what, cause there I have my back button and it also displays time.

Some kind of app for that?

The following message is copied from the Cubot Pocket thread.

Answers were off topic.

To my request, moderator @Badger50 moved them here.

Thank you @Badger50 !

Cubot, if you read us : please make a smaller phone with the same screen.

100 * 52 mm with the same screen should be within reach.

You could even make a smaller phone if you use a screen with round corners.

People who buy 4 inch phones do so because they want a small phone body ; not for the "pleasure" of a small screen. But in the actual lineup, the smaller the phone is, the bigger the borders (and the worse the screen to body ratio) are ! :mad:

palm pvg100 or unihertz jelly 2 are already here for you

personally i'd love to get a small hi-end phone with android but market and vendors think differently
[General Topics] Cobus089:
The Palm PVG100 is a nice phone but

Android 8

Battery is a nightmare

Screen is a bit small, at 3.3 inch

Screen-to-body ratio is only 61.4 %.

The same body with a bigger screen and a decent battery would be OK.

The Unihertz Jelly 2 is a joke, with its screen-to-body ratio of 52.8 % !

It is even worse than my 10 years old Sony-Ericsson Xperia Active !

Cobus.
[General Topics] badcodelab:
ok, balmuda phone then - 77.8% but 4.9''
[General Topics] Cobus089:
Thank you for your advice, badcodelab !

I knew the Balmuda Phone too.

Nice screen-to-body ratio, but the Balmuda phone is 123 * 69 mm. The Cubot Pocket is already too big for me at 119 * 58 mm.

And 800 € is too expensive for my usage.

It may be the right phone for you ?

Cobus.
[General Topics] badcodelab:
nope, balmuda like mode1 grip and other jp phones doesn't support some 4g bands

i would still use my bb q10 if rim released bb os 11 or at least 1 more major update (bb os 10.4)

it was the best phone to me

cubot kkm or pocket has perfect size despite of poor hw

lets stop this offtop please, we won't get what we need
[General Topics] landsome:
Did you own the Jelly 2? Why is the screen to body ratio even an issue? As an owner (and previously of the Jelly Pro, the original Atom too) complaining about it in a phone with a notification led and physical buttons and that particular size is meaningless. The Jelly 2 is exactly as it should be - given what it aims to be. (Unfortunately, it has other issues...)

(Get a Rakuten Mini from Japan, then.)
[General Topics] landsome:
It's obviously easier to design a very small phone with a screen that does not take so much real estate, especially if you plan to add notification light and physical buttons. Minimal borders is not a concern for some, like me and others I know.

The more general problem is big manufacturers have all abandoned small phones. The only Apple trend nobody is obsessively apeing. If they cared, a phone catering to your needs would eventually emerge.
[General Topics] kkm6761:
Me too. But I am not certain about the bands working in Europe, otherwise I'd try to get it. But I also don't know where, I could not find any website. iPhone has almost all bands. I see myself buying an iPhone 12 mini before it is gone, because I know in some years they won't be anything of the kind. I don't understand why Palm did not make a new effort at a more appealing device for a wider audience. Size wise I like my old LG GD880 mini, but with today's demands it would be too small to fit a sufficient battery.

A smartphone is about access in your pocket, not the whole office workplace in your pocket.
[General Topics] landsome:
Afaik, the Rakuten Mini is in fact a larger Palm with better battery, that is, made by the company which made the Palm. Not completely sure, though.

In my country (Romania) it worked flawlessly, but I never tested 2G (3G plus 4G coverage is almost complete).
[General Topics] kkm6761:
I read Rakuten Mini was made by Alcatel for Japan only. They indeed are the same phone, the later with bigger screen and battery.

Cubot promised other smaller devices, but with the "Pocket" name, I doubt we'll see anything smaller and strong. Since the time KKM is on sale, Pocket is a disappointing product for those that already know what it is and have moved on to higher expectations.

Looks like no phone maker can do anything satisfying in the 300€ range.

For now I won't get the Pocket, because i just got a new iPhone SE2, will repair my iPhone SE1 by putting it in an iPhone 5C frame and will get a new iPhone 12 mini in some time this month if I am yet lucky. I am still tempted by Rakuten mini over Palm, and of course theSharp Aquos R2 compact. The Sony Xperia XZ2 compact is too expensive for being so old without support, and is not even supported by Sailfish OS, which is quite frustrating.
[General Topics] Cobus089:
According to PhoneDB, the Rakuten mini is made by Wiko. Wiko belongs to Tinno mobile.

Palm belongs to TCL. TCL owns Alcatel Mobile Phones too.

Anyway, the PVG100 is/was "manufactured by a new Palm-branded startup company from California that is financially backed by TCL and basketball player Stephen Curry."

So I don't think that the same company makes both phones. But I may be wrong.

Why do you say that the Rakuten Mini is in fact a larger Palm ? Do both phones share the same motherboard ?

To me, both phones are small Android smartphones, but that's all, AFAIK.

Cobus.

We are (and have been for a while) off topic. Where coud we move this discussion ?
[General Topics] landsome:
The R2c is the same gen as the XZ2c, which has been getting official LOS18.1 for a long time now. I reliably get the weekly update. I did not try this Sharp, but had the Rc for a while (Softbank). Nice but quite underpowered and very quirky software wise, with very poor battery on 120hz.

I said was not sure.

Definitely. Cubot has pretty underpowered devices even compared to other Chinese rugged phone makers. They will probably not put a strong CPU in one of their smallest devices.

After use HardSPl

I try to flash my Diamond Pro

and I have Eoor 244 : Invalid Device ID

and the flash stop

So what is the problem

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
u wont get that error is hardSPL is installed properly. check ur spl by putting ur device in bootloader mode. if ur hardspl is correctly installed, continue to flash rom using raphael ruuwrapper by cmonex.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lilive10:
thanks

but how i go in bootloader mode and then see if hardspl is well install?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
Next time pls read the thread thoroughly especially when u r upgrading ur device. u can get more info from where u get the correct HardSPL for raphael.

Just an advise from friend to a friend. U can go to the main thread to get more info. For entering bootloader, just press voldown + reset hole when device is on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lilive10:
Hi

I use the correct hardspl for raphael

when I go in boot mode, I see 1.90 Olinex I think is it the good one

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magikweis:
I´m using an Android 10-based Headunit in my wife´s car and also one of these Android 10 AI Boxes in my car.

In both cars it bothers me that my prefered navigation app TomTom Navigation App does not launch in 3D View by default - it actually launches with a 2D Map zoomed all the way out until I actually plan a route. While I get the idea behind it I would prefer if the app would launch in 3D mode by default, even if no active routing is in progress.

I couldn´t find a setting within the app so I was wondering if there is a different way to achieve my goal, maybe with a Tasker shortcut?

I found several threads about this in the TomTom forums and it seems to be addressed with iOS/CarPlay but I couldn´t find an answer regarding the Android app.

first it could be a problem because you have installed opera in storage card ... usually it must be installed in your device not on storage card

second is your registry

it can easily resolved by choosing a web browser to default

[Android Head-Units] Scoot_Scoot:
Hey all, I've been messing around with android for ages, I've built a head unit using a Nexus 7 running Timurs kernel. That's become fairly outdated now and I've discovered that I can buy one of the head units running android which does everything the nexus did but better.

But I am so out of the loop with all the terminology and it seems that there isn't an obvious Go-To brand.

I was hoping this forum could answer some questions that I'm sure a lot of people are asking. So,

What does MTCB, MTCD and FYT stand for, a basic explanation of them and why would you pick one over the other?

What are the most popular / widely accepted / most supported brands / models from each group?

I'm personally after a ~ 9 inch device I can use as a dash for my aftermarket PCM (RealDash is the app I'll use) that also has standard headunit features. I'm looking at a Joying unit but I want to know what my options are.

Thanks heaps for any information

Hopefully this can be made into a thread for new people to get the lowdown and basics of Android based head units.
[Android Head-Units] WildWest66:
I have had an ATOTO head unit for over a year now and I have been very pleased with it. I recently got a newer model that I will be swapping it out with soon.

ATOTO has the best value for features and performance on the market today. Their products are primarily sold on Amazon, and they also sell direct at https://store.myatoto.com/ . There are several reviews on Amazon and you can Google ATOTO reviews and read some independent ones as well. Overall, they come highly recommended. They have great customer support, but since they are overseas it is by email only with a 24-48 hour turnaround for a response. You can also search for ATOTO in the forums here and there are several threads.

I hope this helps...
[Android Head-Units] famadorian:
I saw a video for beginners the other day on Youtube

He seems to have lots of other good videos.

I'm also new, even though I've used Joying for a decade.

It seems they all use the same image or build off a common base, like all units use a PX5 or PX6 rom image. I wonder if they build it themselves or where is the origin?;)
[Android Head-Units] WildWest66:
Atoto makes their own Android based custom ROM and UI, the current units are based on Android 10. Unfortunately, there is no resource I have found here to root this latest version. But, you can certainly install another UI like Nova Launcher and such.

BTW, their latest models have a 1024x600 IPS display with 178 degree viewing angle.
[Android Head-Units] famadorian:
Atoto does not use these px5 or px6 images?
[Android Head-Units] famadorian:
Ok, px5 and px6 are actually processors.

Then I guess what my next question is, do they build off a common Android for head units branch?
[Android Head-Units] famadorian:
As in, I dont't think they all are branching the git repo of Android, instead of branching from some head unit branch?
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
This really ought to be a Wiki article (except XDA axed that) or a sticky. There are many people here who know a ton about Android but aren't conversant with head units. Most of the posts on this subforum have to do with specific problems for specific functions on specific units in specific cars. Not a great way to get an oversight.

Let me flesh out what I mean (from my naive knowledge and subject to correction/expansion):

Head units are composed of:

Chassis

Single DIN

Double DIN

Others?

Motherboard

STM32F microcontroller (usually?)

Speaker amplifier

FM radio tuner

WiFi interface

Bluetooth interface

Resistive steering wheel controls interface (2)

Serial interface to external, optional CAN BUS (OBDII) box

Rear view camera interface

GPS interface

Standardized? rear panel connectors

"Core board" (a pluggable, modular Android system) Often named after the Rockchip processor used, PX4, PX5, PX6. Is this the only format? Are these modules used for anything besides head units?

LCD/OLED Display
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
See my comments inline in red..

That is not that easy with these units.

The most important thing here is, that thread starter do not use the search function, which leads to a lot of duplicated threads. There needs to be a clear instruction to use the search and how to figure out which sub-forum to ask in, means the thread starter needs to know the facts of his unit in front....

As we see in the MTC and this forum, we often have to ask about MCU and Chipset and that leads often in asking the mods for moving the threads into the right forum.

If you ask me: I have no real idea how to get that structured in a way that someone who has the knowledge is able to help without check backs for details.

If you have a look at this forum, you might find some dozen of threads regarding the same MCU/Chipset... really not ideal.
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
I have been watching this guy's videos as well, but can't helped getting the feeling he is being heavily sponsored by brands like Joying.

Also: I personally don't believe, that a octacore head-unit is necessarily. There a plenty of Quad-Core ARM A7 headunits out there, which are below €$£ 150 where as the octacore units are way more expensive.

€ 110,61 50%OFF | Ekiy T7 Qled Dsp Android Auto Radio Voor Suzuki Celerio Alto 2014 - 2018 Stereo Auto Multimedia Video Speler 2din carplay Gps Navi

https://a.aliexpress.com/_vE6we4

So personally I opted for a € 150 unit, featuring a 720P IPS screen, 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage and Apple Carplay and Android Auto support. The last one seemly is called AA, although AA is also the road assistance in the United Kingdom....

Anyway most people will tell you not to buy a Quad-Core unit, but I did it nevertheless. These units are in a way quite similar like the Nexus 7, which has a Cortex A9 instead of Cortex A7. The last one being one of the most energy efficient chipsets.... isn't that important as well for a car?

The Nexus 7 had a 800x1280 screen, and 1GB of RAM and worked just fine. Until the storage got screwed up.... I still have mine, but it doesn't seem to do much anymore.

One thing to consider: when using mainly Android Auto or Apple Carplay, than in theory even a 1GB RAM unit would be fine. I believe he tested some of these as well.... they where quite impressive for the money. Also technology is way better, than a few years ago. Even though it seems there hasn't been much going on at the budget side...

But budget head-units below € 150 used to be way worse: a few years ago I couldn't even find a single unit for my car, below € 250. Now it starts at € 110 with a completely integrated frame. Of course I would suggest adding € 40 more and getting atleast the unit with 2GB of RAM.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
This is your personal thing.

I don´t recommend to buy such a QuadCore thing, as it is lame as hell, does not support deep sleep, does not provide any support in case there is something wrong with the unit. This, I already wrote to you in another thread.

Please don´t recommend such a nonsense as there are top units available for around 200-250 Euro/USD. It is may be okayish for you, but the majority wants and needs something which does not need these stupid AA or this Carplay.

To use any head unit just as a monitor for Android Auto or Apple Carplay is just a bit hard to understand, as the units with at least a PX5 has more functionality as Android Auto or Carplay would ever be able to provide.

Buy this overpriced unit with a QuadCore and I would really hope that we don´t read that you buyed just BS.
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
Well it's your personal opinion as well.... it ain't facts.... and it isn't overpriced. The euro is just very weak on the moment, one euro is only $ 0,99 I saw last time.

Ah well have fun with your expensive Chinese Android head-unit, I bet they break as fast as the cheaper ones and there won't be any difference when using Android Auto. And please stop calling it AA, because it's confusing as in British English that's how they call the road assistance. How do you call Apple Carplay then? AC? That's your air conditioner 😂

For € 300 I can buy a JVC: so why the heck spend this kind off money, on a Chinese Android head-unit?

Anyway Saab Unleashed also tested an cheap ARM A7 unit, and it's just fine. This being even a unit with 1GB RAM and only 16GB storage. Also no 720P screen. It really depends on your own usage, how the experience with such a unit is.

Not all Android applications need so much processing. And also I don't believe it's a fact that these units don't support deep sleep. Because there is still a lot of difference between ARM A7 Android head-units. A quick search on Google learns, that deep sleep is supported within the ARM A7 chipset.

And it's not like that Joying or any other brand, is in the league of a Chinese brand like Xiaomi. So yes I rather go for a cheaper Android head-unit, even though it comes with a slower but very energy efficient chipset. Energy efficiency is also very important.

Oh and all Chinese goods bought directly from China, don't provide the warranty you are used to for example in Europe. If I buy a JVC unit, for € 300 than I can be sure to have warranty for atleast 2 years. An Chinese Android head-unit, no matter which price only provides warranty as long as the AlliExpress buyer protection lasts!
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
This reinforces what I've been saying. This whole subforum is an inbred world only with difficulty accessible to a non-auto Android user (or even developer).

I presume from the above quote that those things are basically equivalent to Roku screen mirroring with some bells and whistles thrown in?
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
Well that's usually the case isn't it? But I just recently heard about Roku, saw those streaming sticks lying in a Germany Saturn. Didn't know what it was, but I guess it's something like Amazon Fire stick?

But actually the cheapest vehicle specific headunits, don't even come with Apple Carplay or Android auto support. I considered getting the cheapest one, as they are all able to use native Android apps.

Only I was concerned, that 1GB RAM would not be enough to atleast run Google Maps and Spotify on the same time. So I looked further, compared multiple sellers. Mostly all offering the same ****....

So I was surprised that Ekiy, was offering a unit that came with a 720P IPS screen. While other resellers, sell these kind of units with a 1024x600 TN Screen.
