7010B Touchscreen Car Radio Project - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Noticed while looking around that this specific Chinese Touchscreen Car Radio listed as a 7010B is quite a popular buy on eBay and Alibaba. You can find an example of a listing by searching 7010B Radio (Would post up a link but sill a newbie)
My question to you smart folk is, Is there a way to install a working version of android onto this device, while still keeping bluetooth functionality etc? I've purchased a unit to mess around with however I wouldn't know where to start looking.
Thanks for your help!

I purchased one last week, and would also be interested.

Hi Guys,
Have you got any updates about firmware upgrades about this radio? I bought this model last month, most of the features work well for me, but i really wanted to change the background and bootlogo for my car radio and I couldn't find the option to do so. Please update me if ever you guys found a new firmware.
Thanks and cheers!

It would be great if we could at least install some APK's.
I'd like to install Torque Pro for guages. That would make a LOT of sense.

Hey i tried upgrading my radio and it gave me a blank screen after doing so. My question is, does the 7010b, SWM S7 AND THE SWM 88802 use the same firmware?

There are only unofficial 2.0/2.1 ROMs available at the moment, and most of them have some issues. For many, they are small enough that they can use these ROMs on a day to day basis, but for others they are not.
If you are a total noob to Android, and your ROM comes with a 2.73 build, I would leave it as it is for now until you get a bit more knowledgeable.
And some handy apps like a sat nav thats good possibly free ?

Since you are on PAYG, I take it you won't have much data allowance? If that's the case, you don't want anything with online maps. I use Copilot, which is paid app, but it's *very* cheap for what it is and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Look around these forums for a while, especially the dev forum. Everything you need is here, and you'll get less flak from forum users if you take the time to find it yourself. Of course, if you run into problems post a question, but remember the mantra "search is your friend"!

Thanks alot for your responce i will try searching the reason i do ask though is not through laziness but i am really that stupid when it comes to technology hehe
I would find it and read it and still not have a clue but ty for your answers once more )
How do i check which if i have ROM 2.73 build ? and if its not i take it i would need to find and install that build somehow?
But yes as you said i am a total noob so i guess waiting untill the official 2.0 update is availible.
The copilot you suggest sounds good as thats the main thing i will probably use. Would you have a link to the cheapest or best place to get that from?
So ty for the suggestion.

Official Initial Thread: Malata Zpad T8/T8-3G (Roms/Questions/Developments)

Hello,
Since there is many random threads but nothing is official. I am opening one official thread so all concerns about this great tablet can be questioned and answered here
Go Go Go!
1) Anyone knows how soon custom Android 3 / Honyecomb Rom expected to be released for T8?
2) I dont get it...for a week i got convinced by web that T8 as newest model more advanced, better...etc...then T2. So i spent today online 600$ + 49USD DHL express to get this beast as good investment for long time (assuming its best tablet with power which can handle long term demands...)
Now some weird finding...
ZPAD T2:
Under web sote of MALATA!
They say: hardware 3D acceleration
BUT on ZPAD T8 they say nothing about 3D:
in other hand both says Tegra 2 T20....
Confusing and frustrating....
Please help me understand what i am missing here
Other question, Since no one was willing attach GPS module with t8-3g i ordered...Any one knows if I can use GPS usb dongle from dealextreme as GPS for t8-3g?
Thanks!
zpad T8
One subscriber more here.
As soon as I heard still is not built the GPS model, anyway in my case I bought a Bluetooth antena cost 60€ aprox (was not the cheapes one) and I installed blue4gps and I got it running perfectly, I'm realy suprised as is sincronasing satelites and having and amazing coverage all better than my tomtom wich I payes one year ago 250€ per it.
I got some small problem with google market as I can not get a lot of aplications from there, but downloading from a diferent place are running perfectly.
Of course you need to delete a lot of things and install some other but as I expected before order my ztab T8.
What I really miss is to have phone functions included on the phone in order to run some app like whatsup or make a direct call from a website from isntance.
Another big thing I miss and I hope someone will help me is that I was not able to install voice search (google) is giving me a error during isntallation and not able to make it work.
Really I'm more interested into have 2.3 than 3.0 as sure are more aplications for it, 3.0 I guess is still too early to be interesting.
I already downloaded a 2.3.4 rom from Ezpad but I think is not working for 3G or something should be done for make it run and as I don't have it clear because of the bad translations from google or babelfish I still had not tested.
Also want some info if someone already installed CWM, in any case I installed titunium backup and made a update.zip of my app to restore it easily if is the case...
3D aceleration.... I had once one error telling me was not 3D aceleration and not allowing me to instal sygic, later one I download it from a diferent place and I'm running the latest version without problem, just a comment... amazing street navitation presentation, what a grafics....
for rooting just install Z4root.
Thats all for now folks, hope to join more people and share experience for getting profit of this great tablet.
Just one think I bout it for about 350€ shipping included from hotmid.com without leathercase and screen protector neither, If somebody is thinking on buyiing this model I strongly recomend try to get some goot price from them as I was not able to get it cheaper anywhere.
Regards
David

[Q] hong kong knock off tablet

Hi all, so just recently i ordered a knock off android tablet running 2.1, now to be honest it ain't all to crash hot seeing as how slow this runs. I've been doing a bit of looking around to see any way in which i may root this tablet in order to flash a better rom then the current stock rom, but to my dismay i have not located anything such. As it is a knock off there is no official brand name so it is quite hard to locate any real help on rooting this device. here is a link to the product i bought ( [ww w.dealextreme.com/p/compact-7-capacitive-lcd-google-android-2-1-tablet-pc-w-wi-fi-tf-camera-71022 remove the space in the www ) i hope someone can offer me some help on my problem. cheers in advance

[Q] Help with a Chinese phone...?

Hello
First of all apologies if I am listing this new thread in the wrong place, I am fairly new to the forum!
Secondly, I have read that many people do not much like the Chinese phones, but I was looking for a decent spec, cheap phone for my 13 year old son, so that I would not care too much when he stands on it while playing sports at school, or it get 'misplaced'/lost/stolen by some other 13 year old, or if he simply abuses it to hell and so this iBOLD X-U 4.7" (1280x720) quad core phone just fitted the bill.
So I bought one and out of the box it looks and operates as expected, other than... the dreaded Chinese apps! Most of the apps are English/in English, but it has some in Chinese, one of which I believe is something to do with the rooting of the phone (does "com.mgyun.shua.su" mean anything to anyone?). I am also unable to find a custom ROM for it, or any instructions on how to get round to do this...
The main question is, how do I get to a UK/English only ROM/Software/Setup/Menus & Messages for this phone please, to at least get to Google store only apps? Am I asking too much and is this possible (on a Chinese phone) please? If I can flash it up from the 4.2.2 version it reports to be loaded with, to something like KitKat it would be brilliant!
Apologies for the relative inexperience, I do build normal PC's and write some code, just never not got round to changing anything on an Android phone (or worked with Linux type software!) as yet, so any help/advice welcome!
Many thanks
Assuming you are rooted and have a custom recovery, otherwise this is not possible via recovery.
If that's the case, extract your zip and make sure you install the proper DPI, all that is done automatically if you can flash a zip.
This is 5.0 gapps, KitKat linked in the op.
