[Touch HD Accessories] pizzaman79:
Many said it wasn't possible to have a remote control with forward/back buttons on a 3.5 mm 4-rings plug like the HD, both on this thread and here.

HTC pleasantly surprised me once again. Their HD2 with the sense interface is showing a lot of vision, especially for an asian company. And it has a remote control built in the headset.

I've flashed a rom from the HD2 on my HD, so as soon as i meet someone with an HD2 i'll try out his headset on my phone to see if the remote control works...
[Touch HD Accessories] Nightcookie:
Hi all,

to anyone looking for a "remote control" to use with the HD, I recommend considering SonyEricsson's bluetooth watches (MBW-150, MBW-200) together with moneytoo's great'n'free smartWatchM software.

The watch has dedicated media player buttons, and sWM does so MUCH more than just control the media player, but it does that well, too.

Price shouldn't be too much of an issue - some of the BT headsets discussed here are quite steep, and the MBW-150 can be picked up from eBay for around the same price range.

Been using sWM for about a year and won't be parted with it, ever!

[Touch HD Accessories] pizzaman79:
I've just tried the headset with three-button remote control from the HD2 in my Touch HD (with HD2 rom, laurentius v4) and it does NOT work. Just to let you know.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Westindieman:
My phone was previously rooted and had been connecting to my car Bluetooth correctly for a couple of years. I have recently relocked the bootloader and reinstalled the phone but when I set it up now to connect to my car while I am driving, I have to manually open the phone and changed the incoming/outgoing call audio to the car. It used to do this automatically and I don't know how to fix this though I have searched through the settings on both car and phone. I believe the phone is the issue.

View attachment 5630863LibreTube is a application which is a YouTube alternative frontend built with piped, it is open source which means anyone with coding skills can help in the development.

View attachment 5630871

LibreTube is not connected to google directly, instead it uses piped instances to load data and play videos. Therefore this app doesn’t need to use any of Google Services installed. Also there is no need for a YouTube account, and it’s FLOSS

[Android Apps and Games] GalaxyA325G:
As a typical privacy-aware user, I love FOSS YouTube client replacements!

Hence, I will test LibreTube for you & post detailed screenshots from a privacy-aware user's perspective (which should help similar users too).

(Please let me know if you need specific test done from a user's point of view.)

Android 12 non-rooted Samsung GalaxyA325G (SM A326U)

No Google account set up (& with Google Play Store disabled)

Most Google apps are disabled (e.g., YouTube is disabled)

The first gotcha for me was that F-Droid had two versions while Github only had one version, so I tested both versions, which is perhaps a noob mistake I made that others might not make. Nonetheless, I found out something interesting in that mistake in that the newer version (apparently) broke something that wasn't broken in the older version.

F-Droid [LibreTube version 0.2.6 (8)] <== buttons are named

F-Droid [LibreTube version 0.3.0 (10)]

Github [LibreTube version 0.3.0 (10)] <== buttons are NOT named

See the "libre01.jpg" screenshot below that shows the older 0.2.6 version has the Google-login button names but the newer 0.3.0 version does not. Also notice that the newer version does allow "clicking away" the dialog box (which is nice) while the older version didn't have that nice feature.

Edit: As a privacy-aware user, moving forward, I will faithfully document my first-time perceptions (keeping in mind I'm familiar with other FOSS YouTube replacement apps) in a running log file which I attach below and which I will keep updating until all the features are tested, one by one. The hope is I can flesh out basic but obvious typical-user issues if they exist (and I'll offer suggestions as a typical user may see them).

[Android Apps and Games] matrasul:
Hi, the app is cool, but on my samsung tab s8 ultra no landscape?!? or I missed something?
[Android Apps and Games] toolhas4degrees:
Can't login or register. Also can you enable auto rotate function in the app to change from portrait to landscape(full screen)
[Android Apps and Games] matrasul:
Okay, in the Player view It works but in the browserview it doesnt work, it is laborious always to turn after any video
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
What do you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
There is no landscape view yet as we dont have much developers
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
Try registrating on Piped mabe/ i will tell the rest 😁
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
Btw there was a new 0.3.2 release today
[Android Apps and Games] matrasul:
I'll try again, for me a landscape view in browser view would be better as I wouldn't have to constantly rotate my s8 u back and forth. Feels like driving a car.
[Android Apps and Games] toolhas4degrees:
The full screen button on bottom right is landscape view
[Android Apps and Games] matrasul:
Thank you for your effort, we get it wrong. I realize that I can watch the videos in full screen landscape mode. I miss the landscape mode in the video overview. In newpipe for example that works.

Otherwise the app is cool.

Thanks for that and have a nice evening 👍
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
Yes you can watch the videos in landscape but it is not yet possible to use the ui in landscape as we are just working on it
[Android Apps and Games] WhatisallTech:
Your welcome, we are working on landscape ui as i said we are low in developers so we cant add it and make it work verry quickly like some other apps.

Have a nive evening to you too😁
[Android Apps and Games] CrispyAI:
Registered to say thanks for developing this app. Looks great and works well. Landscape UI makes it a must have for Huawei users.
[Android Apps and Games] Bl4ck R1ver:
Best Vanced alternative! Thank you!

The app looks and runs perfect!

The only problem I have is that chrome do not open automatically youtube links in the app.

All youtube related links to be opened by default by Libre have been selected.

Is there a solution for this issue?

EDIT: I have an issue with the subscriptions too. The videos in the tab are loading only after pull down and reload.

How do you reset your password? Today's update borked my install, had to reset & I forgot my login.

Probably a silly question: I know this doesn't NEED a Google account, but can it be used with one if you want to have your subscriptions and watch list shared across your devices?
[Android Apps and Games] dedycx:
LibreTube 8.0 can't run properly
[Android Apps and Games] Tu Dam:
No google login but you can export subscription and playlist into files from takeout.google.com and then let LibreTube import them.
[Android Apps and Games] BrunoGenovese:
LibreTube looks great buuut... F-droid is blocked on the Play Store and so is LibreTube.

Is there an alternative way to install LibreTube on an Android phone (like a Pixel) that you have not *yet* converted to a secure private version of Android?

SELF-ANSWER:

- Use the browser *on the phone*, go to the F-Droid site, download it.

- Then use F-Droid to download LibreTube.

- Finish by finding a tutorial on how to export your youtube subscriptions and import them into LibreTube.

LibreTube is for Android, and could be run on windows in an Android emulator.

But I see links that claim to provide LibreTube for Windows. Are those windows versions trojan horses?
[Android Apps and Games] red5pade:
I feel like this app has been forgotten or doesn't get the attention it deserves because everyone goes for revanced.

Imo, libretube is the best YouTube app out there. Download it from their github. Fdroid is out of date. Also, spend the time setting it up the way you want it. You can import your playlist and subscription list even.

I used this in the past but it was too buggy and switched to sponsor block new pipes, and then tubular but unless I'm using a VPN to change my location, YouTube was blocking with their new system. I wanted to see how libretube was doing then and it's very good now.

There are some bugs though but they are mostly just things like after adding your subscription list it not loading the list at first. Fixed by restarting the app.

Hello,

I have infinix Note 7 (X690B) mobile which i wanted to root.

I unlocked bootloader --> Success

I flashed TWRP recovery --> Success

I booted into TWRP and installed Magisk --> Install successful

Now, i tried to reboot --> phone entered bootloop

Phone is bricked.....yes, i know. Now i want to re-install stock rom with SP Flash Tool

I tried to power it off, power btn + volume up/down, didn't work

I opened the phone and removed the battery, and immediately i connect USB to the phone, it powers ON automatically and bootloops again

Whenever i plug USB into the phone, it connects (computer makes a sound, and it also shows in device manager) and disconnects after 2 seconds (computer also makes a sound, and it disappears from device manager)

Now, this is the big problem. I can't even establish a connection between phone and PC, so that i can proceed with SP Flash tool. This looks like an impossible mission.

Please Help!!!

[Android Head-Units] Subbieatspal:
Hi, New to the site and a greyhead who knows nothing about the electronics of these things. I installed a Navitree Y1E Android 11 4core 2+32GB Car DVD player for Ford Focus 2 2004-2011 audio for car video AM FM RDS 4G WIFI BT in my 201 Ford Focus. All appeared well as fitting was easy. All looked great and now I have found there is a constant live feed to the unit that is the possibe cause of a flat battery. My son is a mechanic and accepts he is not electronically knowledgeable, but he tested the wires and found a Yellow wire that was live and for memory, but there was a red wire that was permantly live and should be a switch feed. Can anyone advise if they have had experience with this model (Direct from China) and what is happening? Appreciate any help.
[Android Head-Units] Subbieatspal:
Hi Guys asnyone able to help. No help from supplier and looks like I will have to ditch the headunit..
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Why would you ditch the head unit? It needs the permanent power on the yellow wire and a switched feed on the red wire. Your vehicle is currently not providing this so either you have wired the unit to the wrong feed or there currently isn't one so you'd need to find a connection in the vehicle which does switch with the key and run it to the red wire. As the red wire is only a sensing input it doesn't need heavy wiring.

It is not a head unit fault.

Note some vehicles supply the switching information to the stock head unit via the CANbus, yours may be like that and would explain the lack of a switched feed at present but you can easily overcome this.
[Android Head-Units] Subbieatspal:
Thanks

Mr.TT_NZ​

Thanks for replying..appreciate comments..The red wire is going into the canbus via a 20 pin connector if it is cut the problem seems solved, so are you saying that I should have a switch cable run to that? See image for wiring.
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Ah so you do have a CANbus module, I believe there are some issues with switching via those modules but I've never had one to play with.

You could try removing the red wire from the CANbus module and connecting a switched feed to it instead (not as well as) so the head unit only gets its switch control from your new wire. Maybe that CANbus module is not exactly correct for your model of car, there are so many variations even within a certain model that it is hard to see how the people who write the software for the modules can keep up with all of them.
[Android Head-Units] Subbieatspal:
Thanks again. I will try this...did a bit off research on the canbus and there is no UK retailer who will sell me a Ford canbus and guarantee it will work! Most said it would be a sale with no return.. Hey Ho..
[Android Head-Units] pasmotorek:
For anybody arriving here in the future: I had the same problem with a drained battery by the Android Head Unit on a Ford Focus Mk2. I was able to fix it by cutting the "Alarm" Cable (Pin 13 on the Ford Quadlock) - the Cable had 12v when Ignition off and the radio seemed to be pulling current which in turn prohibited bus sleep. Anyway, i cut the cable on the Android side of the Quadlock and isolated the line with electrical tape. No problems anymore with drained battery.
[Android Head-Units] skett0@hotmail.com:
Which cable is the one you mention? Do you have any diagram? I think I'm about to go through that same thing.
[Android Head-Units] pasmotorek:
Pin 13 on the Ford Quadlock. Was labelled "Alarm" on the wiring diagram i had, might be called differently - somethin along the line of "theft protection" or something. Seems to be used when the car has an OEM radio that is connected to the alaram system.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Good.. I already have a solution with Tasker to work in Greek (and every language) but I'll try it to see if it works better/simpler.

My solution is to use tasker to:

-disable all keyboards when AA is starting and keep only Google voice as phone keyboard.

- In android auto select to use the keyboard of the phone.

There isn't a real keyboard in phone so Google voice is open, so you just say anything and it writes in AA.

-when AA stops, keyboard in phone is enabled again.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Working fine. Here's a video :
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
Working fine on Audi A4 B9 but I got two Error messages:

1. onError 5 ERROR_CLIENT - when I choose "End Recording" while Recording.

2. onError 7 ERROR_NO_MATCH - when address has been already recognized, Google Maps started fine. But, for some reason, it starts Recording in Google Maps again finished with this error message, which I have to cancel every time.

Actually, app is always starting to record TWICE! Even after all is recognized and started first time.

Thank you for the report.

I have noticed this, and it has been fixed in commit https://gitlab.com/ron.gr/aa-speech-to-text/-/commit/97b9c423835d70c716b0e24f1481e57f1d20497b, but the update was rejected at google play, not sure why.

Try to install the apk or the aab from the repository directly and it should work without the messages: https://gitlab.com/ron.gr/aa-speech-to-text/-/blob/master/automotive/release/automotive-release.aab https://gitlab.com/ron.gr/aa-speech.../intermediates/apk/debug/automotive-debug.apk
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
Thanks, installed, I will try it today.

Anyway, is there an easier method for adding translations? I don't have android studio (and don't want to install it).

Maybe by edit xml file?
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
Yes it is possible.

Create a file with the same structure as file https://gitlab.com/ron.gr/aa-speech...automotive/src/main/res/values-el/strings.xml

To see the meaning of each word see the english file at https://gitlab.com/ron.gr/aa-speech-to-text/-/blob/master/automotive/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

Maybe create an issue with the new xml and I will compile it to test it.
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
This version is working fine!

Thanks!

[Android Auto General] djv1234:
Thank you very much, I just pushed the translation to Gitlab, and sent the app for review on google play, let's hope it passes this time.
[Android Auto General] itamargs:
Nice work!! I'll defently contribute.

Addresses works great (which is already worth it)

but can't manage to search contacts. It's always search for addresses only even if it's recognizing the word "Contact" as prefix
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
Thank you for the kind words.

Regarding contact search, what recognition and UI languages are you using? You're saying that the navigation opens with an address such as "Contact John Doe", is this correct?

I have tested it with Greek recognition and English and Greek UI and it seems to be working on my end. Note that the "hot word" will be different depending on the UI language.
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
In Croatian language everything's fine with "contact" hotword, works fine. App version is ok under google store now.

I would like to change just one small translation phrase, if its possible (for the next version)
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
Sure, just add an updated strings.xml for Croatian, and I'll replace the existing file.
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
Here's new (fixed) croatian translation: https://easyupload.io/d6lh27

There are also two small bugs (or is it a feature?):

1. When you choose an option to record voice and stay silent it ends with "onError 7 ERROR_NO_MATCH"

View attachment 5636549

2. When you choose an option to record voice and choose last option to cancel recognition it ends with "onError 5 ERROR_CLIENT"

The app works great.

But in Hebrew if I try to call a contact it doesn't work. This opens the maps .

And Send me a link to buy you a coffee.
[Android Auto General] tuncan:
An idea for discussion - some cars can use only rotary knob while using Android Auto. In this case, the voice commands are even more critical. And if I want to use "AASpeechToText", I have to use a knob to start it. Is there any possibility of adding AASpeechToText to Google Assistant? Probably the author should create a bot for this? Then we can run "AASpeechToText" with a voice command, like "Hey Google, run SpeechToText". And then follow with voice recognition.

Just for discussion.
[Android Auto General] tuncan:
Two more suggestions (one is above this post :cowboy:):

1. I would like to have a "take a note" command supported. While driving I often want to save an idea to my Keep, but what is saved is usually strange (I would like to say it in my native (Slovenian) language).

2. If I say a destination, there are 10 seconds of waiting (or using a rotary knob and selecting an option to start navigation immediately). It would be nice if this can be settable. In my case, I would use 3-5 seconds (just enough to cancel, if recognition was bad).
[Android Auto General] tuncan:
After some days of using AASpeechToText, I can also confirm the issue with contacts.

Everything I say goes to the navigation ...

It looks like it doesn't recognize the keyword "CONTACT".

Speech Language: Slovenian

UI Language: English
[Android Auto General] maxlieb:
HEADS UP:

Latest waze beta breaks the app, it no longer opens the search in waze...

Needless to say the next stable version might inherit this, would be nice to get ahead of it.

I installed beta to try the "coolwalk" support (yes, it's pretty cool), reverted to stable waze for now and everything works as it used to.
[Android Auto General] dankec2000:
Is there any way to prolong speech listening time and shorten nav opening time? My suggestion is to add those parameters in settings.
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't know how to do this or if it is even possible. If anybody knows how I'd be glad to add the feature
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
2 has just been pushed to gitlab, waiting for approval on google play.

For 1 it seems like a good idea, not sure how to handle the storage of multiple notes in the UI, maybe a pull request would be helpful to demonstrate how it would work
[Android Auto General] djv1234:
This has just been implemented, let's hope it gets approved by google play.
[Android Auto General] tuncan:
Is this app available on Google Play? I can't find it. Besides that, I can't find APK on Gitlab. I simply can't remember where did I find it some weeks before.
