[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Term1nator3000:
Thanks for your reply will take a look

Edit: no support for this device :(
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] traman124:
Sorry… was just about to say that after checking it just now. The reason I suggested it is that it has a ton of back ports from caf (or it did last year… )

Is there a reason you want caf specifically? I’ve never seen any noticeable performance/battery difference in general usage between los/aosp vs caf.

IME the best rom in terms of smoothness and general polish is PixelExperience :)
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Term1nator3000:
Pixel experience gave me magisk errors, I couldn't hide it from banking apps no matter what. And couldn't install dolby or customize to my liking.

Im currently on ancient os which is best one I've tried so far with plenty of customization and magisk hide is successful. Also has dolby support however theres no vibration working at all and speaker overall sounds very quiet. I even managed to change boot animation!

I've always read that caf uses Qualcomm drivers which are better suited for battery, reliability and generally has less bugs hence stock roms are based off it. I do like oo12 deposit many others don't so i might just modify that and try and get custom viper/dolby just the brightness issue is super annoying af.

I remember back in the days there used to be oos based roms but debloat+ added features on OP3T. They were the best!
[Google Pixel 6] bleedingoutward:
Hello. Ive been around awhile, not new account but coudlnt get my login info right. Sorry about that. Soooooo... I purchased a Pixel 6 via Amazon listed as unlocked / renewed. I fully charged it and booted it up. Its running Android 12 currently (not 13), and its model is: GB7N6 .

After enabling developer mode, OEM Unlock is indeed greyed out and unchangeable. Isnt model GB7N6, running Android 12, specifically compatible for bootloacker unlock?
[Google Pixel 6] traman124:
Does it say anything underneath the toggle? On my 6A it shows as "carrier locked" and wion't let me turn it on.

View attachment 5878353
[Google Pixel 6] bleedingoutward:
Underneath, it says "Connect to the internet or contact your carrier". Currently on wifi. Have not switched yet from my iphone to this one (was hoping to have it flashed with a custom rom etc beforehand)
[Google Pixel 6] traman124:
@bleedingoutward Can you put the imei into an IMEI lookup? It might be an unlocked Verizon phone (which cannot be bootloader unlocked)?

That message will show sometimes with Verizon Pixels
[Google Pixel 6] bleedingoutward:
Its not Verizon. Model in settings is GB7N6.
[Google Pixel 6] traman124:
@bleedingoutward

Ok, so it's T-Mobile (which will unlock). Can you try flashing 13 with Google's online flash tool and seeing if it unlocks from there?
[Google Pixel 6] bleedingoutward:
From my understanding, wont that make it permamantly unable to be unlocked? I thought i read that about 13
[Google Pixel 6] traman124:
No, 13 will not do that. 13 supports unlocking on Pixels (I'm sure about it).
[Google Pixel 6] bleedingoutward:
Still no luck
[Google Pixel 6] traman124:
Take a screenshot of about phone and dev options please?

And can you try putting a sim in it?
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
During a recent sale at AliExpress, I ordered an Android headunit that replaces the factory screen for my 2016 B8.5 Audi. I ordered from the "Nunoo" store due to them listing a Snapdragon 665, and I ordered the supposed 8 GB/128 GB model for my MMI car.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805118631091.html

The unit hasn't shipped, so I messaged the store asking what's up and making sure that the order was going to fit my particular car (needed an Air Bag light relocation cable and AMI cable). I also asked to confirm it actually had the Qualcomm chip. The seller messaged me back saying that it would instead ship with a 8581 processor due to issues with the 665:

"The cpu will become 8581, because 665 CPU with some problem"

I'm getting sketchy vibes. Is there any hope that these units are worth messing with? Since ordering this, I've done some more reading around and see where Chinese sourced units often mis-report hardware, versions of OS's, etc.

I'm currently running an android box that attaches to the stock, non-touch screen in the car and allows for wireless Android Auto. It connects to Canbus and the MMI audio system, and is generally OK. It just has no touch screen, so I thought I'd upgrade. Should I bail on this order before they try to ship and look around for another seller?

Is there a Android head unit issues for dummies I should read to catch up on the state of these things?
[Android Head-Units] Darthsternie:
Heya, the Listing only mentions an 8 Core Processor in the Pictures itself. It mentions the Snapdragon 665 Version down below but that is not selectable. I only know that because I myself just ordered one of those for my A6 4F MMI 2G. I had to search a bit for that Version. Just click a few different Listings on Aliexpress if you want that version.

I myself used an Android Head Unit in my Older A6 4B with a generic 8 Core CPU and that was more than enough Performance. it never had any lags or other things.

My Unit used an UIS7862, the 8581 seems to be a less powerful version of it. It could be Powerful enough to work without Lags but if you want to be really sure maybe search for reports of Headunits with the Spreadtrum UIS8581 CPU or try finding the Snapdragon 665 Version but be prepared that it's gonna be a whole lot more costly. And don't settle for the 625 Version, that is a pretty old CPU and all I could ever find about those Versions where lackluster performance and other issues :)
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
My unit finally shipped, so we'll see what I get.
[Android Head-Units] Darthsternie:
Sweet, please report about that CPU Version Performance and stuff :)

It's sadly quite hard to find any Information about the Nunoo Headunits.

I'll try to keep this updated about the 665 Version that I just bought too
[Android Head-Units] i4560011:
Well..... don't keep us in suspense.

Report back because i'm looking to buy a Nunoo 665 as well.
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
Conveniently the GPS cable arrived today that allowed me to tap into the car's GPS antenna. Big win if you ever want to use the built in navigation. Works great, although the cable I ordered is a bit tight. Now I can pull out the other GPS antenna that I had routed behind the glove box to go up the A pillar.

While installing, I googled B8.5 MMI GPS hookups to make sure I had the right cable off the back of the MMI unit. Apparently I wasn't exactly an original thinker, at RSNAV already offered these cables. This is the way to go and the AliExpress sellers should 100% include these instead of the full antenna that you have to mount somewhere.

Audi Original GPS Antenna Splitter Cable for S2, S3, S4

Audi Original GPS Antenna Splitter Cable for RSNAV S2, S3, S4 Android system on Audi Vehicles with Audi Navigation System only. - Best reception of GPS signal for your RSNAV S2,S3, S4 Android system - GPS hot start, super faster time sync - Work both for Audi MMI system and S2, S3, S4, This is...

rsnav.com

*I have not tested the stock nav yet, but I never use that anyway. I'll try to remember to look to confirm that's still working. Might be some kind of time interface into the car that it grabs from GPS, so it might still be important. I'll do it before I reinstall the dash. I just wired it enough to verify via the GPS testing app that it was better than the included antenna (it was).
[Android Head-Units] i4560011:
Thank you Andy, much more detail than i expected.

Really appreciate the quick writeup :) esp the notes on the gps issue and getting a splitter.
[Android Head-Units] Cutprods:
Great review and very interesting because I'm looking at getting the same car. Just a small point, Android Auto does in fact use the car's GPS where possible. Waze uses the phone GPS but Google Maps and Sygic can use the car's GPS, for example.
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
I doubt it would in this case, as Zlink as I understand it is kind of a hack to make AA work. On a truly integrated solution, I'm sure you are right.
[Android Head-Units] Cutprods:
Works with the Headunit Reloaded app, that I use on my older PX5. I don't know if you can use that on your new HU? Zlink and Easy Connection never worked well for me.
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
I might try it to see if it will solve my wireless issue. This is my first real Android head unit other than the pass through box I used before that isn't really a head unit. Is there a best way to install? Just from the Play store?
[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
Thanks for the info @Darthsternie. Do either of those brands make a unit that works with Audis? I briefly looked and couldn't find anything. I hate to end up buying a third unit for my car, so I guess I'll keep this one for the time being. I just really want to get the wireless piece figured out.

I just went out and put my stuff back together to confirm the GPS splitter cable did not interfere with stock nav, and it doesn't. So whatever the car might use GPS for should still work. While doing that, I confirmed what Darthsternie said about switching to the stock interface, it does pause playback. Not just mute. I assumed that was correct, but wanted to confirm on my unit. Backup camera has an option to disable this, but if you go into anything else from the Audi MMI, it pauses.

Also, thanks for the info on the temp. I'm on the 3g MMI "High" on my 2016 S4 (B8.5). "High" I believe means has stock NAV. Might ask the company about my issue. To be honest, since I have the dual temps shown on the temp dials, it's not really something I care much about.

I did log out of my google account and used an abandoned account I used years ago for a specific purpose that I no longer need. Should have known better. My concern was for apps I may have purchased like Torque. Don't really want to buy again. Wonder if I can put my other account in my family? Will look up how many people can be in a family. I think I'm at 2 right now.

As to the wireless, once I get in a bad state where it's constantly looping the connection attempt, I've been unable to solve it without a reboot. I can kill Zlink. I can cycle bluetooth on the phone. I can manually navigate to Zlink, but that's not the problem because I can even auto-launch Zlink at start and it still does it.

Will have to investigate a replacement for Zlink if that's possible on these. I just haven't really dug into Android head units enough to know anything at this point. Need a good wiki or something :)
[Android Head-Units] twist:
Navifly is not a guarantee either, they also sell snapdragons as well as MTK units, you want the legit snapdragon with the KSW software if you want to have a compatible unit with what most of the modders are using. I got mine a few years ago from Navifly and it is a P60 cpu MTK unit and it works well and gets the job done, but I would much rather have a KSW based unit.

I also have a B8.5 Audi.

You should download Device Info HW from the play store and it will give you a breakdown on the unit and let you know if they are faking the android version, etc.

Device Info HW - Apps on Google Play

Hardware and software information app for Android devices.

[Android Head-Units] Andy S:
Suspiciously, Device Info HW will install, but fails to run on launch. Will dig a bit more.
[Android Head-Units] twist:
I finally heard back from these guys and got a screenshot. Here is the link for the unit.

And here is the screenshot he sent. This is the newer KSW software and it should be a legit snapdragon 662.

View attachment 5909103

Talking to these guys through their aliexpress translator is almost futile. I ended up sending him a screenshot with the APP Ver highlighted on a different older KSW unit and then he sent this back.
[Android Head-Units] Darthsternie:
I have just bought this one for my Audi A6 C6 from 2005.

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005240382533.html

I hope it's a real 662 Unit but according to the seller and a screenshot from them it is.

I will try to report back again when it arrives and compare it to the Nuuno Unit that I have now
[Android Head-Units] iZz0s:
Hi,

Ive just ordered 2 weeks ago a Nunoo 12.3 128+8GB device with Snapdragon 665 for my A5 B8 Pre-Facelift. Ive asked the seller to confirm if its really 665 and he did. I can also confirm, that my device have a 665 if i can trust CPU-Z :D this device info software shows also Android 12S. I dont know, if its better to have this MTK8581 CPU like on the COIKA devices or the Snapdragon 665. I just can say i was focused on the 665 because this is that, was RSNAV uses.

I had before an RSNAV S1, so the first generation in 10.25". This unit was also for sure not bug free and i switched it because it was now fully bricked. I got random bootloops and blackscreens, even after factory reset. My brightness control was buggy, it was inverted and dark at day and bright at night. Support from RSNAV haven't helped me with that. Finally, I also had no GPS reception any more. I had used the roof antenna from the A5 for the S1, without the splitter. However, as the roof antenna is a known problem and tends to break down overnight, I assumed that this problem had now also affected me. But that's not true, because the roof antenna now showed 15 satellites when connected to the MMI again :D After research, I found out that this was also a known problem with the RSNAV S1, that the GPS transistor burns out and that this is not repairable.

I don't have any further experience with the new Nunoo device yet, I need a few more days for that. I can report back then. What I noticed is that the frame that was sent to me has a much worse fit than the one I had with the RSNAV S1. Let's see if the support team can do something about that.

By the way, some people have already reported that the RSNAV firmware runs just as well on the Nunoo devices. I have not yet tried this out myself. However, this could fix some bugs and possibly bring a few more options.
[Android Head-Units] twist:
RSNAV was a major rip off IMO, they are just selling the same Chinese units at a markup and the markup is not worth what little support you might get, that is just my opinion and I know many will disagree.

The snapdragon is going to be way better then the MTK I had an MTK previously and it worked fine but I was unable to change launchers or do anything outside of what they supply, the MTK units are super locked down and proprietary, the snapdragons have all kinds of fun mods and capabilities so you can really dial in your head unit how you want it to be.

I don't personally know anything about nunoo but these units are almost all made by Mekede / Navifly and being resold by multiple different stores just rebranding. I am sure there are some other companies making fake units, but a lot of the chinese stuff all comes from the same factory and then a ton of other companies rebrand them and resell them.

Even my previous Mekede MTK unit was fake android 10, it was really android 9, the fraud and scams on aliexpress is so unacceptable, which is why I buy very little there, these headunits were the only 2 purchases I have made on there in the last 2+ years.

[Magisk] TechnoSparks:
Spare the Phantoms​

This module enforces the sparing of phantom processes from being killed.​

## About​

Since Android 12, there is a hard limit on the number of processes a program can have and also a heuristic-based CPU usage limit. When exceeded, the system will terminate the processes whole.

For normal Android users this do not cause any problems. However, if you use Linux on Termux like Andronix for example, you will quickly reach the max number of processes and Android would terminate the Termux processes.

On Android 12L and above, a feature flag has been added to disable this process termination.

Comprehensive documentation about this phenomenon here.

## Usage​

- Flash and forget

### Requirements​

- Magisk version 23 or newer

- Android 12L or newer

### Installing​

Flash the zip (Releases section) in Magisk Manager or in recovery.

## Disclaimer​

- Module is provided as is. No support is provided

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aveejnasv:
Hi,

I have unlocked my rog 5s using official app.

I did some playing with roms and installed official firmware by flashing RAW firmware.

I have locked the device using below command.

fastboot oem asus-lock

Now that my phone is in unlocked Rog phone list, I am not getting any updates nor Asus Unlock app is working.

I want to unlock my phone again and install some GSI roms as I officially don't get any updates from ASUS.

Any help is appreciated........
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Maybe by changing the device rom and fingerprint back to Chinese version and hoping that the unlock tool will pick it up as a good match - Guess being that your phone is a CH>WW convert and not an original Global/WW version from factory.

Re-locking converted devices is a bad idea. It's posted and warned about so many times in this forum by other CN device owners...
