Could I add apps to Apple Car Play if rooted?For the vast majority of users they don't need to root. If the system does what they want then leave well enough alone.
I've rooted all my Android devices since the original Google G1, with the exception of my Sony TVs. For me, rooting gives me full control of my device. I can backup all my apps along with their settings and I can easily restore them. I can block ads (I hate the ads in Waze). I can transfer files back and forth via ADB wireless for the ATOTO (none of the usb ports work for ADB). For the ATOTO, I want to fix the bloody buttons that don't open the correct app. Why in the world would I want the microphone button to open Google Voice Search and search the web instead of Google Assistant that I can open apps and have it make calls with. The AC-44F5 also is hard coded to open the FCAM app instead of being able to change it to open the HDDVR app.
I was really dissapointed to loose the rear cam calibration settings after spending 90 minutes measuring and calibrating the rear camera. So I was not going to go through that again unless I can backup the apps and the settings. Swift Backup gives me that.
So root if you want full control over your device, otherwise leave well enough alone and run the stock firmware.
I think you can use any reversing camera you want. Just has to be plugged into the RCAM video port.Does any one know if it's possible to use a wifi reversing camera with the S8? I want to install one in my bus but the wifi reversing camera is a must.
Afraid I don't know since I don't have a iphone. I would guess though that you would not be able to since Car Play is controlling the head unit and if it's not already on the phone, I don't see how you would add it.
adb shell pm list packages | grep launcher
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.launcher3
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.launcher6
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.launcher8
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm enable com.android.launcher3
adb shell pm enable com.android.launcher6
adb shell pm enable com.android.launcher8
Well when you root 8.11.22 I'm gonna give it a shotAfraid I don't know since I don't have a iphone. I would guess though that you would not be able to since Car Play is controlling the head unit and if it's not already on the phone, I don't see how you would add it.
It's for a bus so I'm trying to avoid running 15 metres of cableI think you can use any reversing camera you want. Just has to be plugged into the RCAM video port.
ro.sf.swrotation = 90
I had a problem updating my S8 Premium 10" with the rooted firmware. The unit booted up in portrait mode and it made the launcher unusable. After searching all over the place for a way to rotate the screen (even in the secret menu), I found someone else suggested on a different Android HU to put the following in config.txt and place that on the sd card when flashing:
Code:ro.sf.swrotation = 90
also is there a way to get it to write to sd card?i rooted thinking it would fix the accessability problem on radio but it didnt. so i have a few apps that need accessability permission and every time radio restarts i need to grant new permission anyway to fix this?
yep that'll do it.I had a problem updating my S8 Premium 10" with the rooted firmware. The unit booted up in portrait mode and it made the launcher unusable.

Is it possible to add V4A to it also?I emailed Yolanda at ATOTO about the Home Launcher not sticking and she gave me a link for a firmware dated 2022-09-22.
I'll root it and give it a go on my unit in the next few days.
Sounds good enough.I think once you are rooted you can install Viper 4 Android without any issues. I don't think I want to start making changes to the ROM other than patching the boot.img allow root. Once rooted though you should be able to install V4A without any issues though.
What S8 model do you have? Didn't see 9-22 one for the ultra g2I emailed Yolanda at ATOTO about the Home Launcher not sticking and she gave me a link for a firmware dated 2022-09-22.

hello.I have the 7" G2 Ultra. I did not try rooting the 20220811 version. The Home Launcher pinning seems to be working now as AGAMA comes up every time.
Link to the firmware provided by Yolanda for the Ultra:
Uh, that's not how BT1 and 2 are supposed to work or be used.Long story short. The last update I did on my ATOTO S8 Pro Plus S8G2B75PL made Bluetooth,internal and external mic break. I was able to get Bluetooth back working by browsing the net finding a script file to upload. The funny thing is on Bluetooth 1 I can hear the person on the other end of the call but when I try to talk to them they can not hear me at all. When I switch to Bluetooth 2 the person on the other end of the call can hear me just fine. I just can’t hear them. I’ve tried 2 different brand mics and 2 different recording apps. I’ve also contacted customer service about the issue. Needless to say they were no help. I was wondering if anyone else has run into a similar situation and may know how to fix this issue.
FWIW, I use this 4 port USB 3.0 hub (https://a.co/d/azTaKgI) with my Atoto S8G2A74SD S8 Gen II 7" head unit (https://a.co/d/jiRgl2E) and it works flawlessly...hi, i got the S8 premium, honestly very satisfied so far from the sound and features, although there are many things I am still exploring. When I connect my android phone (AA) I have the connection with my USB 2tb SSD (exFAT) dropping and I need to unplug and replug the drive for the system to see it again. i understand that a USB hub can solve the issue when connecting the phone via USB. Any known solution for wireless connection that you know? mthx in advance
I've rooted phones before but what do I gain/loose by rooting my headunit?
