Yes, I have done it but I'm out of the country so I can't remember off the top of my head where in the settings I got into it.

I believe there is the hidden settings (which isn't the Joying settings but rather the true android settings menu that frankly looks like an exact copy of the samsung phone settings layout but I digress)

The way I get into THAT particular "true" settings menu is (if I remember correctly)

Open chrome

Sign in to your profile if you're not already signed into it

Click on your profile photo on the top right side of the chrome page

Then you'll see some options but I think the one to tap on is google settings or chrome settings?

Then I think google settings?

Then hit the back button and boom you're magically in this new "true" settings menu that lets you scroll down to the bottom to turn on developer mode then I am off to the ADB races.

You'll figure it out if you're not new to android OS.

I need to make a video on how to do it when I get home for my Youtube channel

Hey! I am a new user of QCM6125 android radio for Mercedes (1920x720). It has fake android 12 (real 10) and has got a qcm6125 chipset. It is not Joying model - it is random vendor (i do not who). These firmware are ok fot that unit?
[Android Head-Units] Dbleyou:
Hi there.

Very interesting posts for someone like me who was about to jump on this new HU.

You just made me worry about the carplay GPS issue over ZLINK. Is that a general issue? And if the wireless carplay is screwed, what about the wired one, anyone using that?

Had a look at the FB group mentioned earlier as well but I did not find a definitive answer.

Thanks for all the info you gathered and test for the community.

EDIT: joying confirmed that they don't support the OEM reverse cam of my Octavia III (and don't feel like pulling the cables all the way back to install their own cam), nor some of the car settings such as the side mirrors folding, parking light behavior etc... so I'll most likely pass on this HU. I need to be able to manage the car settings :/
[Android Head-Units] ddudek:
It worked 🎉🙌

I actually have Idoing GT2200 for my Subaru Levorg, but I noticed that it have similar specs and software to this Joying. Just leaving this for others looking for some news.

iDoing has even similar bugs, e.g. when moving fader to front speakers only, subwoofer gets muted along with back speakers.

For small fonts - changed minimum window width to 160dp in developer settings, and I can recommend. Some small graphics in system UI look worse/don't fit, but Maps, YouTube, etc is much more usable with larger buttons, and I think better in terms of road safety.

For those who don't know how to enable developer settings - tap 10x on build number once you get into system settings with quoted response.

4. Optimized Google service.

5. Optimized the dynamic effect of UI switching.

6. Optimized system application response speed.

7. Optimized DSP sound effect.
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
Ugh, update went smoothly but it WIPED everything clean. Had Nova launcher and about 15 apps configured exactly how I wanted them.

Looks like a brand new upgraded version of ZLINK in this. Will try it out tomorrow.

Frustrating they can't spell GOOGLE correctly in the menus. I'm sure this was spelt correctly in the previous version.

'Goolge' store anyone?
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
@CCJ22 I've got a nova launcher question for you. I set a nice wallpaper on there but when I went to dark mode by turning my headlights on it would remove the wallpaper entirely and just show a grey background. It would not reinstate the wallpaper once the headlights are turned off either.

How were you able to get around this in nova? I'm pretty sure having watched your videos this did not happen to you. Did you do something special there to fix it?
[Android Head-Units] CCJ22:
I am not sure.

Glad my instructions worked for ya :)

Came here to say this. Love it.

Wiping the whole unit clean is par for the course w/ Joying, at least on my 2021 head unit I had.

LOL at the goolge store

Interesting! I wonder if that's because you're on the newest firmware and it's a bug w/ that firmware version?
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
No, it happens with the older version, I’ve not yet tested this new one.

But it sounds like it ‘just works’ for you. Hmm. Will test the new software later today and see what happens. Thanks anyway.

UPDATE: Ok, I figured it out. You can’t use the Nova wallpapers. You need to set the wallpaper for both light and dark modes in the Joying wallpaper app. Anyone know how to add new wallpapers to it?!

UPDATE2: I see someone has mentioned the same issue re headlights and wallpaper in the comments of one of your videos:
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
A quick image to show what Nova7 can look like...

And here's yet another spelling issue. CANCLE?
[Android Head-Units] CCJ22:
This is interesting. It does work for me. I wonder if it's because I have the 13.3" model?

What size screen do you have?
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
11.6". But the wallpaper you have in all your videos is not a Nova7 wallpaper, that beach scene is one of the 4 in-built Joying wallpapers. That one does revert following a headlight/dark mode switch.

However, if you set your own personal wallpaper through Nova7 then it doesn't stick when headlights are turned on. Even if you use the Google Wallpapers app, the same happens. It reverts to one of the 4 Joying wallpapers.

And the worst part, I see no way whatsoever of adding to those built-in Joying wallpapers.

[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
It's in the YouTube comments.
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
it seems to be just more optimized
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
I have frequent black screens and screens with artifacts, does this happen to you too?
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
No, that's not normal. I'd suspect the ribbon cable.
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
The ribbon cable it's ok. I think my unit is faulty
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
Anyone know what the password is for this? This is not something the end user sets, it's set by Joying.
[Android Head-Units] maximusmx:
Did you get password? I also want to know the password to reset UIID because I flash Chinese Head Unit with Joying official firmware. So far it running great but now i need to reversed to stock firmware because with Joying do not support camera360 function.

new firmware for 2023-11-21 is released. could you patch again the recovery?

Also, Do you know how to wipe emmc? i want to flash the other firmware but it blocked with UIID didn't match

did you done?
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
Hello,

My feedback about new joing car audio.

I bought 13.3 inch version.

Sorry for my English.

1) This head unit is rubbish.

2) Screen is terrible. It has small viewing angles. If look directly black will be black, but from driver seat black will be light grey. Brightness in zero position is too bright for night driving, brightness in 100 positions is not enough to drive during sunlight. But i can fix it trought factory settings.

3) Dim button have only three preset (30,60,90%)

4) I can set screen brightness for day and night mode. But night mode brightnes is activated only when +12V on ILL cable. If I set change day/night mode by time brightness will not change.

5) The backlight of sensor buttons is terrible. Uneven glow, uneven colors. The backlight creates a stray glow to the main screen. It looks cheap. I can not adjust backlight auto off after a few seconds. It can be always on or off, I can't adjust backlight brightness for day and night mode.

6) Launcher... It is not usable. It looks like a pre alpha version, not like a finished product.

7) Walpapers. Fu//k! I can choose only pre installed wallpaper (4pcs for day mode and 4pcs for night mode), but I can not install my pictures as wallpaper. There are no options to set pictures as wallpaper!!! If i use expernal applications wallppers will be reset to system walpapers after day/night mode change.

8) Device is too slow. I bought newest 2023 device, but 4 years old budget smartphone works faster.

9) No push popups.

10) I can't use accessibility servises, some error when I trying to enter to this menu.

11) I tryed make root via Magisk. I patched boot.img, added it to update_car.zip, signed archive via Zip_signer. But it not working. Who could help me? :)
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
How to configure the buttons on the steering wheel? I can't find the app or entry in settings
[Android Head-Units] CCJ22:
Optimized the optimization lol haha

It does not happen to me.

if ribbon cable is fully seated then your display may be faulty is my guess.

I am unsure.

I have not finished the install yet due to other priorities.

I really hope we can find successful root one day.

For me it's in settings menu.
[Android Head-Units] Skippman:
I'm planning to order one of these units here soon. I've put together a pretty basic wiring diagram. I'm wanting to get a sanity check on it and see if I'm missing anything or leaving anything out. This will be going in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler.
[Android Head-Units] xenos666:
I have the this unit but I can't find any way to adjust and resize the reverse camera guide or track lines for backing up. I'm pretty sure I could resize them in one of the older Joying units but now the option doesn't show up. Does anyone know how to resize the lines?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] stevosdiesel:
Get image to wallpaper app play store. You can do anything with it. It is confusing and complicated but with persistence anything can be accomplished. I'm using smart launcher on 9" hu
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
I found the section in the options to configure the steering wheel controls but I can't memorize them. Is there a particular procedure? The instructions say to press the button on the steering wheel for 3 seconds but nothing happens to me
[Android Head-Units] tids2k:
patch recovery ?
[Android Head-Units] Skippman:
Other than having to ground the male end of the RCA's to the chassis of the head unit, is there anything else I need to do before install to avoid future issues?
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
No, and Joying support won’t share it unfortunately.
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
This one?

Image 2 Wallpaper - Apps on Google Play

This app sets the picture as wallpaper with resizing, alignment and effect.

play.google.com

Have you tried this? Because Joying seem to do wallpapers differently and requires them to be in the Android image and seemingly can’t be added to.

I asked about getting new wallpapers and they said I could send them the wallpapers and they’d add to the firmware image for me.

Haven’t taken them up on that offer yet. Mainly because I don’t want to wipe my device yet again with a firmware update!
[Android Head-Units] @Life:

[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
Joying support told me:

-the steering wheel buttons are decoded by the canbus adapter directly and it cannot be remapped.

- the radio cannot support all the car parameters. Some settings can only be checked in the Vehicle app, but cannot be changed.

Maintenance km, light times, etc. cannot be changed. It all seems very strange to me, can you confirm this?
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
I found if set 3d wallpapers and remove this application wallpapers will be change to black (for all modes day and night) until you open system wallpaer app.

Also you can use Dark/Light Wallpaper Scheduler from google play, this app will be change wallpapers after system wallpaper app. But it not work when you rotate screen.

You can find system wallpapers app in oem dirrecory (WallPaper.apk). if you unzip it you will find dirrectories for each resulutions, for each modes (day/night), for each orientations (land/portrait). You can change pictures and make mod with your wallpapers. But you need root to remove stock app.

yesterday i trierd flash patched boot.img via ADB, but my PC can't find joying dvice, i think i should find some pins to switch it to ADB.
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
Thanks for this. Yes, the issue I found was that if I turn the lights on and off it then loses the wallpaper and goes back to stock. Probably similar to when screen rotation occurs, like you mentioned.

I would be fine with it being all black however, so will try your suggestion. Thank you for your help.

If not, are you saying I could extract the wallpaper.apk, add my own images, and then repackage a run? That would work?

Also, good luck with ADB. Nobody has done this yet to my understanding, all the best!
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
signature of original app and mod app are different, so u can't update system app. Firstly you should delete system app, but you need root permission. Or you need app with manufacturer signature (joying can make it for you)
[Android Head-Units] stevosdiesel:
I have a joying snapdragon unit and it works with that app but I've never tried it with stock launcher

on the joying screen 3 dot top right corner usb controlled by two choices change it to other device computer will see it

I've had adb but not fastboot switch usb settings 3 dot top right corner to controlled by other device then use adb
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
Hi. Yes. I found it yesterday. I can load HU to fastboot but in fastboot mode my PC can't find the HU. But when when HU in device mode you can use QFIL. I will study the manuals. For me it the first rooting:)

And one bad news for russian users, this HU not working with russian SIM cards.
[Android Head-Units] stevosdiesel:
Yes I was able to reboot bootloader via adb but couldn't do anything after that.
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
hi, is it possible to set the automatic enabling of the front cam after reversing the car with this radio?
[Android Head-Units] CCJ22:
Not to my knowledge unless you touch AR Camera app and manually do it.

You could create a task using tasker to automate this however.
[Android Head-Units] Cuscio:
with this Joying unit you can't do anything, everything is blocked. Very disappointed with Joying, with my previous Dasaita you could do anything
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
I just got root. Guide will be later.
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
And yes, it is fake android 12
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:

Yes, I'd unfortunately discovered this too by somehow reaching one of the (very dated looking) system menus that showed this. It's a bit of a hack job with some old n' some new it seems.

[Android Head-Units] Darkoz61:
Just a quick question, what do you want to do with the unit by rooting it ?
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
With root, you can modify stock applications (launcher, wallpapers, settings, etc.), remove system app, and add your own apps like system apps. You can add some services, change the design, and more. This HU not usable out of the box. I used Ipad as HU for many years, and now I'm completely unsatisfied by joying HU
[Android Head-Units] Darkoz61:
It's a car head unit, it plays music, radio, has navigation, internet, bluetooth phone, wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play, Cameras, OBD diagnostics, even plays videos.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do, I'd say that's pretty usable.

This is my 4th Joying head unit over the years and it gets better with every new release and I'm more than satisfied with Joying.
[Android Head-Units] @Life:
I cry when I see such a poor design. Сhoice of 4 preset wallpapers... Text that do not fit on the buttons... No pop up notifications.Voice button launch voice search, but I need voice assistant. DIM button have only thre preset, i need five or more. I can't change app position when screen is splited. I can't use BT keyboard/mouse/remote control. I can't change the sensor button backlight separate for day and night mode. Some google servises not installed, so i can't use some features. It'is can be solved by software mod. Unfortunately, hardware problems cannot be solved so easily.
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
THIS! Well said!

The software quality of Joying is frankly appalling and some of the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s laughable.
[Android Head-Units] deckstar:
Most important for me.. Using vpn and firewall at the same time, using more open source apps in full power mode, and especially deinstall the Spyware on those poorly coded devices.
[Android Head-Units] deckstar:
It's fine for a car radio... But the position is pretty stupid, especially if you have a big metal cage under your dashboard...

I cutted this stub off and soldered a wifi sma socket onto the cable. Now a real wifi antenna works where and how I want it.
[Android Head-Units] Squuiid:
I asked Joying about adding my own wallpapers and they created an update file with them for me. However, I'm concerned this will wipe the device when I apply it. Can anyone confirm? I have spent SO LONG setting it all up I do not want it to wipe the device!

They replied to me and said that it wouldn’t wipe. And it didn’t. I now have my own wallpaper and everything works pretty great. Despite the shoddy software and misspellings everywhere it’s on the whole a very good device. I did a 5 hour drive the other day and had zero issues.

My main complaint now is the radio app, which frankly sucks, and the misspellings all over the place.

[Android Head-Units] Samitro1:
I hate a lot of things about the latest Android 12 10.1" for Honda CRV 2016, the limited settings and inability to change anything, the fact that it cannot auto connect if you have 2 phones, etc. But my OEM camera works, steering wheel buttons work and it fits well. I can still send it back as I have it for few days only but is there any good alternative really for the Honda CRV IV generation (2012-2016)? All I need is functioning OEM camera, steering wheel buttons for volume up/down and Android auto. Thanks for any suggestion

Btw. I have installed car launcher pro and as part of the setup process while it was the launcher was asking for rights, it displayed the standard android settings beautifully, I mean all settings. I was hoping I was able to get there later but I couldn't even after showing all applications in the menu options. But if it showed it at the beginning, it means it's doable. Any idea how to get access to all settings without root? Thx
