[Android Head-Units] xonzer:
Good morning,

As the title says, I have been looking for the best android head unit for my car (VW GOLF MK7 2015 Right hand drive). I was looking at the below ones but I am not sure if they are the best in market.

TS10 7862

Android 10 Auto Qualcomm

My key factors for this upgrade are:

- Crisp sound (no cheap amplifiers)

- Android Auto (usb or wireless)

- >9" screen

- Generally fast as a device

- Wifi enabled (connecting to hotspot/usb from phone)

This is my first time doing such an upgrade and would like to know if I will be losing any features from my car if I will replace the factory head unit.

I attached my current unit for reference :)

Thank you so much for your time :D
[Android Head-Units] lenvirthus:
Hey mate, how did you go with your upgrade? What did you end up doing? I am also looking to do the same for my 2014 golf mk7 rhd with either mib2.5 but crazy expensive or something like teyes cc3 but im concerned I'd loose oem functionality like selecting drive modes (race, eco, normal etc)
[Touch HD General] jackthekayman:
is it actually possible to change wallpaper (I mean a 480x800 pic) in all touchflo tabs?
[Touch HD General] Gustopher:
Yes, do a search in this forum using your own title - you should get your thread and one other that will give you enough information to try it out.

Be warned though, the end result is slightly disappointing - the source image has to be 256x256 apparently - so you will need to take your 480x800 image and resample it to this size. The HD doesn't seem great at restoring the image without losing a bit of quality. Maybe there is a better way but I haven't found it yet!
[Touch HD General] jackthekayman:
yes I yet known that thread but I don't like that 256x256 result, I hope as soon as possible will be available a full customization of HD touchflo.

however thanx for the answer man ;)
[Touch HD General] Gustopher:
Yes, it should be that way. Don't understand the 256x256 limit and might see what happens if you use a bigger image. Seems a terrible waste on a device like the HD

Hello, Very good job with this rom, everything I use and need, this rom has, normal battery consumption, I recommend it 100% thanks MetolsTalken. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mchasard:
Hi what are the difference's between this spark om and the arrow ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] UrekD:
This one has more customizations and features, also has the pixel launcher and dialer already installed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] UrekD:
Thanks for this ROM, first impressions seem good.

Only thing I had an issue with is that on clean install with TWRP on OS boot it rebooted to recovery and needed to be reset, setup and then to flash TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi,

Just switched to ArrowOS last week and new ROM comes out, glad to see our phone still alive.

On SparkOS website i can read :

"We have our OTA updater app inside the ROM, so you wont ever miss an update when it comes out."

Is this rom official or unofficial ?

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MetoIsTaken:
It's unofficial for now :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nveloso:
Is that what means official and unofficial? To have its own OTA updater inside the ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Yes, unofficial update by dirty flash, official by integrated OTA
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lucianofontao:
Hi friends,

The best ROM at the moment...

Only problem i found is ok google and services like weather notifications

Thanks dev for your efforts.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lipe_riba:
Thanks Dev for this ROM. Everything is working good! Waiting for more surprises!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nveloso:
Is there an option to set 5 columns where we have the apps? Right now it's 4 columns and I would like to set it to 5.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lipe_riba:
On Wallpaper and style settings has an option. Seek for App Grid.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nveloso:
Thank you. I was blind xD
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lipe_riba:
You are welcome!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xsuperdev:
Voice match (ok google) doesn't work (the same issue in the spark os a12 build).

I've read it can be because google is not a system app. (Trying this may fix it?)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xsuperdev:
Just found another bugs. After rooting mtp connection lost (same issue on Corvus OS, anyone haven't know how to fix it); After rooting there are no icons in the apps list in the stock launcher.

About first one. After rooting persist.sys.usb (~similar toggle name in build.prop) was set to none. I've changed it to mtp,adb with no result.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi,

Switching from ArrowOS to this rom, great job, everything work as expected.

Most of features are present , very fluid.

Hope this rom will be continued and updated with monthly security patches.

I'm not interested by cosmetic changes or pixels arrangements or rounded corners.

It's a big chance to have developpers supporting roms for this (old) phone.

Let's go back to main purpose of a phone with security and speed.

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MetoIsTaken:
I rooted my device too. There's no problem for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lipe_riba:
When will this ROM be official? In my opinion everything is working good.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danicompras31:
Amazing rom! I have disabled animations to make it feel even faster, but I love it. However, it doesn't seem to be able to read my 256gb sd card, is it a known bug? Other rooms (some) do read it without problem. Could you please tell me how to root with this rom? Every tutorial I find tells me to use a patched boot.img, however, I cannot seem to find the boot.img for this rom, and I tried using the stock for 9.0 and it made my phone boot loop. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rashed_mamun:
This ROM is amazing!

This A/B partition thing is a criminal.

**After two days of use, it starts rebooting automatically. :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ThoKu:
Thanks for the ROM.

I made clean flash, BUT the FM-Radio doesn't work.

Can someone crosscheck, pls?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MetoIsTaken:
Probably I'll fix with an update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nestorhugo:
Hola a todos y felicidades al desarrollador ya que la Rom va muy bien. Lo único es que la radio no funciona y aún no hay opción de actualizar por OTA.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nestorhugo:
Tengo otra consulta, porque en la página oficial de Spark OS no es posible descargar la Rom MI A1, ya que en la sección hay error de descarga y en los demás dispositivos no.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nestorhugo:

How to root this OS?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lipe_riba:
Why on my device is showing a notification Sandboxing Google Play is running but not connecting to the internet? I have no connection.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] teacapan:
Magisk 25.2 apk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
What a good job with this release (y)

Clean flash and rooting going well,rom very fluid with interesting new features.

Happy to switch to official , discovering new stuffes but didn't have any clue on how to use them :

1) Integrated AdBlocker : same manual config as AdAway or automatic ?​

2) OTA update menu missing (only in developper mode automatic update system), does it mean without user interaction ?​

3) Sandboxed Google Play is new for me, what's the features ?​

​

For point 3 i'll try to search the web on my side , sorry normal user i'm trying to understand.

Edit : Found point 3 explanation in my native language (french) for those interested :

GrapheneOS et Play services

Keep it like that, just monthly security updates are relevant for me.

Regards

I experienced this issue too. After rooting with magisk, I lost cable connection. When I connect phone with USB cable to pc, it doesn't get recognized. I had to remove root and dirty flash to make it work again.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Can anyone confirm or deny?

To reboot to recovery hangs

- from the advanced power menu,

- from the tile,

- after executing "adb reboot recovery" and disconnecting from the PC.

Only when power is applied does it go to TWRP.

p.s.

Since I have an inactive area where the letter "y" is in TWRP, I can't do the data partition formatting required in the first post, so I do a reset.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MetoIsTaken:
I still haven't seen that problem. You can set default USB configuration as file transfer in developer options.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rakesh986:
Hey, I am flashing my device for the first time. I am using twrp recovery 3.5.2. I have tried to flash this rom but struck in boot loop. Can anyone provide me the correct sequence for flashing the rom. I have downloaded rom zip, gapps zip and boot.img file provided in the downloads.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Yeah. I did that too. It didn't solve the problem.

But when I connect an otg flash drive to the phone, it works perfectly. So I'm a little confused 🤔
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MetoIsTaken:
Which TWRP are you using?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
I have tried both twrp-3.4.0-0-tissot and twrp-3.5.2_9-0-tissot

i just rooted my phone again. same problem. But in recovery and fastboot mode, usb connection works fine. It's really strange... I suspect it has something to do with magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
You must always flash twrp-installer-3.X.Y_9-0-tissot.zip after flashing the ROM by TWRP 3.X.Y, as tissot is a device with a dual system partition layout.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rakesh986:
Thanks for the reply, but I tried a different way. I have side loaded the rom and gapps again from Spark recovery, which I boot into after flashing the rom zip in TWRP recovery. Now it booted successfully.

Install the apk through Google "files" app.

Tried just to answer as i never use data transfert by USB (i use a NAS to sync app/data/photos so local lan transfert) you're right phone don't appear in laptop when connected, only MTP, strange behavior.

Rooted Magisk 25.2 (rename to zip Magisk-v25.2.apk to flash) with TWRP (twrp-installer-3.5.2_9-0-tissot.zip)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure it's not an isolated issue. Hopefully, the developer will see this and provide a fix for it soon.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lhbaires:
Hello, it seems to be an amazing rom, but i have three issues with it: 1) every time I insert a SIM card the phone restarts. 2) Ok Google or any attempt to talk to the phone doesn't work. 3) Phone calls don't work, i cannot either talk or listen to phone calls. I did a clean rom install. Am i missing something?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
** FEATURE REQUEST **

I think it would be nice to have "Lift to wake" feature. So that when you pick up the phone, the Always On Display (or lockscreen) turns on for a few seconds. I used to have this on pixel experience rom and it was great for checking notifications without physical action.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Apologize for my last test about USB transfert, bought a new cable (2,5€ Action store) where it was specified data transfert and everything is ok now.

Great job thank you (y)

As i don't see any OTA update menu can you provide us best method step by step to dirty flash this rom please ?

Asking because i see different methods here and don't want to ruin my phone.

Adb or TWRP ?

hi guys, what kind of battery life you are getting in the rom?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
The ROM consumes 0.3% of the battery capacity in an hour when lying down and not in use. I consider this a very good result.

The maximum usage in an hour is not easy to estimate, because it all depends on how you use it. Flash it and check.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rahman Fariz:
Im stuck on booting loop how can i fix that ?

Also how can i download kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Use TWRP 3.5.2 instead of SPARK recovery.

Wipe internal memory, and after flashing ROM.zip, don't forget to flash twrp-installer-3.5.2_9-0-tissot.zip.

No dirty flash only but wait before upgrade not big deal but some freezes on some apps.

Apparently even pixel phone owners are affected by the last december update.
