I am looking for help on choosing the right android radio for my car.
I have a forester 2011 with gps buit in, but that super feature removed the a2dp fonctionalty !
That is all I wanted! !!
I have read these 2 thread AN-21U and 4.2.2 a9 dual core
These 2 are hard to find on ebay !
I have a galaxy s5, note 2014 and wife has galaxy s3... we are very in android.
What I would like on the radio is:
- a2dp perfectly working
-good gps with available free updates (without having to always use google maps on tethering from my phone). But Google maps still available
- port for microphone (unless the micro from the head unit is good for phone call. .. but I doubt it! ). I could use the one already installed in my car
-steering wheel control. .. they all seams to have it
-able to browse Internet and YouTube videos (on tethering)... flash player probably working with firefox...
-torque apps should work. .. already using it on my phone (OBDII)
-google account working linked with chrome
-good radio reception. .. the is a must since this is my. ...radio! !
-fast boot time. .. or even being able to stay on sleep mode. I guess 30 secondes is fast enough, but might get slower with more apps I guess !
-tv tunner would be awesome
-reverse camera
Am I dreaming wanting all this ?
Between 350 and 400$ should be doable !
Root is not necessary since I might end up with more problems. (Radio not working, steering wheel issue, ect) But rooting can solve a bunch of problem too...
Thank you very much for your help.
Reading both thread above did not really helped me. .. the first one seams to have a bunch of issues. .. and icannot find the second on ebay on simple double din .
Martin L.
This one seams ok... would it be a good choice ?
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301197118041&alt=web
Is it one of the 2 listed above ?
Please give me a little help here!
Even if I read all the descriptions. .. it is always better to ask a person who owns one!
Too easy to waste money buying something you think does all you want! !
Thank you

ive also been on the market and looking but from reading peoples post on different h/u its pretty save to say its all a gamble most of these units are chinese built and the build quality is questionable some units have good features but lack memory the units you may wanna look into more would be the ones with some sort dev support and root those seems to be the ones that if there is an issue at least someone can come up with a solution also you may wanna stay away from h/u that are windows CE as they run android on a top of the windows and may lack android features
Thank you very much for your help.
That is exactly what I thought, a gumble !
After reading the first thread posted above (AN-21U), it seams to have to much issues.
But the other about the 4.2.2 a9 dual core seams very interesting. but I cannot find any of those on ebay searching by the names HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) !
There is a buch of 4.2.2 a9 dual core.. 1.2ghz, 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, 2Gb ram .. they might all be fake, I cannot know !
It seams all the auction lake on real detail about the product (model #, ect).
Is there anyway I can by certain I order on of the HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) ?

Hello Martin,
I dont know your car type, but I recomend DX.com for buy things from China. Try to find with: "autoradio" and "android" keyword.
Eg.: Joyous 8" J-8813-8A for VW group cars.
BR, Mark
It is said in my forst post that you quoted, it is a subaru forester 2011 !
Simple double DIN will work in my car, no special fitting is needed !
If I find a good one with RK3066 processor, does that mean this is the right one (from the second link of my first post) ?
Just an example, looking at that file: HuiFei/Klyde/RoadMaster Reference, I clearly see what the Hui Fei and roadmaster look like.
But since there is more info on the Klyde one, this is the one I would like to buy but I cannot see what the head unit look like !
Searching the web for Klyde android car, I see a LOT og different model ... which one is the right one ?
I don't think any Klyde model will work, I need the right one !
Same thing for RoadMaster ... I can find the model I see on the picture on ebay, but no way to be sure it is the right one !
This video is for Klyde: Youtube Video but does not seams to be the one on the file !
If it is, this might be the one I want !
Thank you for your help !
The problem is they are all Chinese built so they tend to be all nock offs of each other you have to get a confirmed hardware specs for the klyde unit and then when you search look for the same hardware its small difference in hardware it could be the GPU or the ram or etc. Even though they all look similar its the internals that will tell you which is which ....I'm currently looking for a unit with 4.4 and 1024*720 screen resolution I found one in a Europe site but am trying to see if I find it on eBay I have a wrx sti ::subie wave::
I see a lot of Ouku that seams good, but as it is not mentioned anyway in here, I guess these are not a good idea to buy !
They where good at one point but now theirs more competition out there

Thank you for sending me this link: New Model, but I find it weird that they wrote: can be upgraded to Android 5.0 .....
I need a little help here !
I have 25Tabs onped on my Chrome, I read everything written here on XDA.
I can see that the RM are bugless, so that might be what I want!
But I find no where I can buy them exect from aliexpress.com, but they are not cheap at all !
This one seams perfect and cheap, but from WinLink ?!?!?! WinLink
Or that one from Zhoon with 7" display that seams good: Zhoon
Or one from Infidini Infidini
All I really want is to be able to charge my cell (1 USB and Built-in Wifi), have my OBDII bluwtooth connected with my cell. And be able to have my music on bluetooth. Also have the reverse camera and steering wheelm control !
They practicly all have these features, but the best is a pure android and being able to root !
All the link I find here to buy one are no longer working, so ther eis no place to buy one.
Except from aliexpress.com where Rm are really expensive, and Ebay where you have no idea what you are buying !!
Please, I want to order one! I am so tired of my Pioneer always crashing in my car !
This is what I am looking for, but I don't want to order 100 of 'em RoadMaster
You want one that is multi channel Bluetooth too if not you either do obd or phone but not both that's something to consider also
Ok, i am really going to buy one, but only need a little piece of advice before i do !
I finally found a klyde not to expensive : klyde
Can i use the bluetooth for anything else then my phone ( with obd dongle for example).
Is the microphone good enough for phone call ?
I have been searching for that model since i see in other threads that they seams to be good. .. with no bugs !
But now that we are already in September, is there better product ?
Maybe this one is better ? http://m.aliexpress.com/item-desc/1948364463.html

Hi i read so many bad reviews , I don't know what to do , i want to buy tablet first i was thinking about epad , superpad , now i can buy a new folio100 for 250$ , is this screen so bad ?
Hi
I recently bought a Folio 100 for 250$ and I'm really satified with it
It's true that screen view angle is quite narrow but quality is good enough to be seen apart from using it under the sun
Materials are good and with all the mods around you can definetely do whatever you want . I use Cyanogen (but I tried Folio 1.4 as well) and it works well. I also tried the Honeycomb version but I couldn't play games with it and I had other little things missing so I decided to go back
So , for 250$ I do think that it's far better than any Chinese clones
Hope I helped you
Regards
Ramp
hi in my country this is the cheapest tablet with tegra ,
in Cyanogen rom everything is all right ? can you use 3G usb dongle ?
do you have any problems with this mod ?
what about screen is it true you have to put in behind you to see enything ?
Hi
In Cyanogen almost everything works fine except for a few apps . Folio Mod 1.4 is probably the only rom in which all the apps are working , but I prefer Cyanogen as works with Android 2.3 ( Folio Mod 1.4 is 2.2) and , to me , is a little bit faster and has a better flash integration
Regarding USB 3g , I've never used it , so I don't know if it's working or not
If I were you , as a first install , I'd put Folio Mod 1.4 , then after downloading some apps and playing a little bit , I'd do a backup and then try some other mods in order to see which one's the best for your needs
Regarding screen , the problem is mainly that you have to be centered to see it well , if you move left and right it's quite ok , not if you move the screen up and down
Ramp
I bought the folio because it can do 3g with foliomod 1.3d and with folioblur 1.2 ... In the end, however, my 3g-modem huawei e1750 is disconnected all the time unless reception is exceptionally good. Also, after shutting down the screen, you need to reboot the folio to get 3g working again.
I will buy a 3g-router instead. Wifi works better with the folio.
i have just bought folio and want to instal rom but I can't I was in recovery menu but instalation faild , should I first root it is any easy way to root folio ?can I use z-root ? a have to install the recovery.img or not I don't know what firmware i have
Good price

Hi, I have the same one since a week ago. Unfortunatelly I updated it with another Android OS and now I don't have WIFI. May I ask you if you are still on the original firmware to send me the file wpa_supplicant.config? Or if you have the original ROM it will the best way if you can send me the link to download it. Thanks.

Thank you for your answer! Is your device rooted? Because only if it's rooted you can go to the folder where the file is. Or maybe you have the ROM? That will be the best way if you have the ROM to send it to me. Or to ask your reseller to send it to you? By the way where did you buy it from? That might help me to obtain the original firmware.
Thanks

How is the folder named? Let me look in to that first, i don't think the site allows direct company names that sell this product.
I'm surprised about the low info here on this tablet.
Maybe new info i found will help, it's also known as superpad.
And I'm sure it's no fake. Google it. I will not advertise here.
Still need some good info and answers.

I bought one of these chunks of crap, it ran for 24 hrs now it won't boot it had newer yospad firmware but I can't remember the exact build cause it won't boot now. What I need to know is how to do a hardware reset, not the little reset button it just restarts it or another yospad rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Who the hell gives names to this devices .. ? Flytouch 5 ? zomg!
this is the ONLY company that has the Infotmic SoC available for implementing into tablets:
http://www.shuoying.com/global/index.asp
http://www.shuoying.com/global/Product.asp?/3.html (tablet page)
I Know that, cause I personally visited the head of Infotmic SoC design (Shenzhen) and ShuoYing CEO, also in Shenzhen (Infotmic HQ is from Shanghai)
If there is any other tablet with "Flytouch" design, then they are tempered from the original tablet made by Shuoying, or they are so wild that it is really a mystery of it's origin.
My guess is that those are regular FT2 (since all have the same CPU) tweaked by some wild chinese people, Kernel and OS, and RAM/ROM
not to all - dont buy tablets from companies that dont show up in 1-2 hours search. You'll end up with tablet that someone assembled by hand and a screwdriver, and most probably extremely bad OS.

Use only Z4 to root the yospad. Can someone leave link for fw flash for yospad

I think your completely right there.
I use it for a remote control know.
Thanks for the input btw.
Digital Zoro - im sorry for your failed tablet device.
On the other hand - I find the FT2 design to be the best tablet design ever. it obviously lacks the fine finish, and better materials, but - 10 inch wide tablet, with every god damn port there is - pure win.
I saw the "actual" FT3 in Infotmic Shenzhen, and it looks awesome - capacitive screen, ARM Cortex A8 based infotmic SoC (about time dudes, you are sooo late) .. dont know why isnt out yet, cause all those named "FT3" dont have same specs as the one I saw.

My Flytouch 5
The design is not really bad and i like that it has the rj-45 port.
The screen I find bad. No multitouch and slow reaction when touched.
Its thick and heavy to hold.
Flytouch 5 should have GPS build in, but it doesn't.
The Flytouch 2 3 4 5 are all the same design. On one moment it lost the second mini sd slot.
Is this only with the fake ones?
No, they are all faulty. the forementioned Shuoying company makes crapy tablets
I took for bussines 30 units the first time around, and I still have 6 broken units. others had flaws, mostly of how they are assembled - everything is sticking out, and such. USB/SD slots die more often than you could imagine.
buttons are the biggest problem - they are not glued in & soldered - they are JUST soldered. so the only thing that holds them into place is Tin (Sn) and we all know how that is firm and solid
oh, there is also a screen problem - there are 3 types of ZIF wire-to-board connector types for the screen, so if you ever need a screen replacement - dont even think about it.
the best assembled chinese tablet is from a company Utopia, in my expirience. you can find them by the name "imx515" A8 or A10 tablet. it turns out that solutions for assemble is better than most of the branded companies.

dude even I'm searching for the same....
even I got one HCL AP10 A1.. bought from ebay...
aah.. I too got it from ebay. atleast we can start sharing our apps / experiences until someone gets us an update.
have you changed the recovery on it? or still the stock one?
do you have any wonderful achievements on it?
well it kinda sucks doesnt it .. even i have got the same one ... things i of what i know ppl use rom manager after rooting .. but after installing rom manager .. what i noticed was that HCL is not at all in their list ... for crying out loud it even has Spice Mi tablet on their list but not HCL .. so i think we are stuck
it doesn't really suck that much.. hehe. I love the performance of it.. almost everything works with mine.. Skype Video calls, High End Games (Trial Extreme, etc), Jabber VOIP Calls, etc. I use VTL Launcher and it adds a lot of space on this tab. I use MultiLing Keyboard for Tab which increases the productivity. I wanted to make Junos Pulse Work on it. If that works, I see nowhere else. Any help there guys? may be the tun.ko file is needed for this
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
its a good tab... i played all high end games THD games on it... using wifi/ 3g/2g for browsing and chatting with friends... installed spb 3d shell...

I too am planning to buy this tablet.
I'm quite sure its either the Malata SMB-A1004 or The SMB-A1009.
If it is then you all can install honeycomb meant for the Notion Ink Adam.
Here is the link to the Adam ROM http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4T971PL
Learn to use nvflash first if in case u brick the pad.
Then flash it in recovery mode.
If any of u r successful, pls post it.
HCL ME Tablet AP10-A1
i am planning to buy HCL ME Tablet AP10-A1 but before i go ahead i had some questions in my mind.
i would really apprciate if some one could answer them.
1)how is the touch screen response, is it pretty good or just ok?
2)does it has android market installed by default, if not can it be installted by rooting in to the device?
3)have you tried upgrading this device to gigerbread or honeycomb? is it possible?
4)how is the 3G coverage from this device?

I have one more problem, it has facility of inserting Sim Card, but I am not able to make the voice calls from my Airtel SIM (2G). However, I am able to send and receive messages just like normal mobile phones. Do you have any idea about this?
One more thing to add, as it doesn't have warranty, it's product no. is not registered with HCL Service center and they are not able to provide any support on this.
Mine also comes with Nvidia Tegra.
Can you please guide me how to root it successfully? Does Android Market work after rooting it?

Can anybody please suggest which all applications or games are worth keeping on this tablet?
I am currently using a few games like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Chess etc. Apart from that it works as a good e-book reader...good to read books on big screen
Also, did any of you manage to register it for HCL support atleast, if not the warranty?
Even if it is a bit bulky, I feel it is worth the price we got on eBay!!
Please keep posting your experiences and new things you learn about it, which others can take advantage of

No GPS is not working .. i have installed mapmyindia and it was not locking the location...
we can fix all this issues once we upgrade this device to final FROYO version or 2.3 Gingerbread version..

I too am planning to buy this tablet.
I'm quite sure its either the Malata SMB-A1004 or The SMB-A1009.
If it is then you all can install honeycomb meant for the Notion Ink Adam.
Here is the link to the Adam ROM
Learn to use nvflash first if in case u brick the pad.
Then flash it in recovery mode.
If any of u r successful, pls post it.

I think it is SMB-A1002
uploded few models check it out guys
Okay. Seems GPS locking is a global issue.
@chaskarn - i agree with every word of @parmesh in his reply.
@vishalblr - there is not warranty or support from HCL for this Tab. But hey, who needs it.
There is no voice call support on this Tab. only SMS works along with GPRS/EDGE/3G.
I tried using the internet on GPRS, EDGE, 3G and Wifi and everything works perfect. I'm pretty much impressed with that.
You can install every thing on it after rooting. Android Market, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Facebook, Google Maps, Google Talk.. etc which are compatible with the hardware and Andoird 2.2
For rooting the device, I used SuperOneClick v2.1.1 - ShortFuse. You can google for the instructions on rooting with this tool.
And about the games, I say every game works perfect. HomeBattle3D, CricketFever, other 3D games, Droidhen, etc etc..
I am very much satisfied with the Tab. I never felt a lag or force close on this device unnecessarily. I am trying to get Junos Pulse working on it. If any of you have become successful in connecting to VPN with it, please let me know.
Hi parameshwaran/sajavid
thanks a ton for your reply, i indeed order this tablet yesterday.
don't really care if i don't able to make voice calls but looks like this is disabled by manufaturer (same as ipad 2), should able to crack this.
also i am interested to upgrade OS of this device, looking at the hardware specification i think this device can be upgraded to gingerbread/honeycomb/iCS
if anyone able to upgrade it, please post here.

Eager to know ur experience
Hello, I am semi-new here( been around but not a member) , but this issue has brought me lookin for a bit of help:
I purchased a generic "OEM" brand Android 2.3.7 (advertised as 4.1...... liars), attached pictures show the STOCK "About Device" , This unit is VERY close to the OUKU UNBRANDED thread device . But it has an 8 inch screen , no sim slot, android 2.3.7 and an ARMv7 instead of ARMv8. I was able to gain root by flashing the Capacitive BT OBDII SW Controls rom ,built for the ouku 6.5. also I screwed up and flashed the mcu to a lower version that had no sound apparently, so looked around the web for a week tryin to find the original stock mcu , to no evail. I tried one for the s-150 I believe and it upgraded the mcu to a 2.11 version ( still older than my stock one in the screen shots).
Basically, after all of that, I got it all working GREAT!, every factory app works perfectly, bt w/torque works amazing and so does the canbus adapter that came with it . , keyboards and Bluetooth mice work , phones work , hard disks and unpowered hubs work great. . everything but ANY kind of gamepad or controller device works absolutely great. , so I looked around and found that I am missing joydev.ko and that is the one thing in the way ( I tried a lot of apps and terminal commands, a weeks worth) , SOOO I need to find a way to get that file compiled for my device , I know basic coding and am an intermediate user of Linux for the last 24 years , so I can help in any way needed, when I try to insmod ANY joydev.ko that I can find I get an error telling me its compiled for the wrong arch..... guess I am gunna have to be the first to make one because this NEEDS to happen( video games in dash .. Battletech 1 and up haha)
Anybody willing to give the new guy a hand? could be a pretty fun project in the end!
...Also, I am willing to learn how to port a rom to this thing.... that could be an even easier way to make this work right? Any help would be great if you guys could point me to the right place/person.

Is this the same you posted before, based on the Eonon october ROM?
I had several issues with that ROM, Waze crashing at start, same for the canbus app. None of these issues with your August or September ROM.

Now you have a heat sink, I have one on order and others are thinking about it, maybe we could revise the cpu throttling, discussed earlier, that drastically limits speed because of suspected worries by the devs about heat ? What do you think ? I guess it wont be until the summer that we would be able to fully test this . . . actually its summer in the southern hemisphere so users down there could tell us if theres any problems.
BTW youve missed one of your posts in the MCU feature request thread and not deleted it, post #45 ! Cant see the point of deleting posts in that thread as well - @dhmsjs has just tried to go through the MTCC MCU for you to see if he can make it compatible with your radio IC as you requested, but if youre deleting your posts from that thread then you ll make it more difficult to help you.
I take screenshots of useful posts, so the deletion of all your posts does not affect me, however, you are now making life more difficult for the rest of the community, as well as yourself, by deleting them.

Regarding shipping & handling fees (from HK), I would suggest to individual buyers, to ask for DHL (to Europe), which may be significantly cheaper.

Well done for spotting that . . . just as youve upgraded to 2GB and 10 others are about to !
Still, if the price of a new SoM isnt too high (assuming its MTCC compatible), an RK3188 SoM with 2GB RAM might be attractive to RK3066 owners, so, after selling our old SoMs, an octacore upgrade might not cost too much.
And of course we may be lucky and Marshmallow might be available for the RK3188.
The PX5 is 1.3Ghz, 64bit, has light, proximity and g sensors, has HDMI and uses a Realtec RTL8723BS wifi/BT board from what I can see, wonder if it ll still be compatible with the MTCB/C BT set up ?

Ok, Installed OCT ROM and forgot to mention about bluetooth. After the reboot, it would not connect to my phone (was CAR KIT, now EONON) So I tried 0000, 1234, looked it up and was 5xxx. Still no go.
Change to CAR KIT, 0000 and rebooted.. all is ok.
Still want to try that voice calling stuff and will install SYGIC Nav after work..
Runs smooth but I have the same issues with the September ROM as with the last - Waze craches after starting the app. @dsa8310 any chance you can fix it?

What is Waze?
(I don't use it)
I would check it out if you give me the exact (play store?) link.

Thanks, much appreciated
Waze is a free community based navigation app. In 2013 it was acquired by Google, it look really promising. The below link only allows me to see the Danish version, not sure if you will be automatically diverted to your country version, hope so
