Software Development [CLOSED] [ROM] [CUSTOM] [INTEL JOYING] GTX joying ROM V9a3 2018-04-22

[casio58]

If your unit is the same as a joying unit use the 3 button reset with the reset pin hole and reinstall stock should work from there

 

[ratdude747]

That worked for getting me back to a stock image. Was able to root it (wifi-ADB method).

But, the custom app doesn't seem to be installing TWRP (or I am not able to boot to recovery)... it says it installed, verify says it's there, but both reboot options from the app just have the system reboot normally (not to recovery). Same thing it was doing when I tried to re-install the rom image from the "broken" install.

Both the custom apk and the rom files I downloaded from the first post. I do remember having issues when I went to install this originally... but I don't remember what special thing I had to do to get it to go.

 

[ratdude747]

Figured out the strategy:

1. Install the stock rom.
2. Use apps to enable ADB over wifi and obtain IP address
3. Use the .bat script in the first post to get root (do not use the SuperSu method listed in another thread! It breaks something somewhere). Set Superuser to "always grant" (as for some reason I've never been able to allow root access via prompt on this head unit). Launch custom and install custom recovery.
4. Make USB stick with GTX files. Install rom via the three reset method.
5. Wait patiently and eventually it will start to update.
6. Pull the USB stick once the "android" boot logo comes up!

Translation: RTFM... to include how to obtain root!

Edit- still back to square one with google play services crashing things. At least I've been able to use the custom app within the gtx rom to install the custom bootloader and then use the three reset method to reinstall said rom. Seeing if there's a workaround... as it (and anything dependant on it) fails within 5 minutes or so of the intial bootup (not a recent version issue, not updating doesn't help my cause). Worst case, at least I got my $20 out of the head unit.

Edit2- Fixed the original issue by swapping the OpenGapps file for the latest pico file for x86 (renamed file, too lazy to edit the TWRP script )... so far, so good.

 

[dyabolikarl]

Well had a good few years but it seems my backlight has packed it in. Is there any recommendations for new units or just the newest version of the joying headunit?

 

[joooe]

I'm having problems with google play services too with this ROM. How can I flash the latest pico x86 opengapps, without resetting the unit? Is it possible to flash only the opengapps file?

 

[joooe]

Ok, managed to install the latest 6.0 pico x86 opengapps, but the problem persists.
Flashed the pico file alone, with twrp. Didn't work.
Flashed the whole ROM file with the new pico opengapps inside. Didn't work.

Help, anyone?

Hello,
I'm here and trying to figure out what to do with my Sofia 3GR.
I'm now on 5.1.1 firmware.
I've read that android 6 is very unstable, but this rom works only with that version.
But most of the comments about problems after updating to andoird 6 are very old and I'm wondering now if this GTX rom has some improvements and fixes of that bugs.
Generally is it worth to update to 6 and install GTX rom, or just stick with the old firmware?

 

[bahha]

Thank you for the awesome Rom.
I have a Chinese clone of an Intel Sofia 3gr with fake android version with 1GB/16Gb .
Recently it started reseting and became very slow .
so I decided to try your rom, after all, I had nothing to lose .
I rooted it and checked in Adb the real specs.
I first tried the temp TWRP, it worked .
I followed the instructions to install but it get stuck every time it wanted to boot TWRP and I couldn't get back to the original OS.
So I reflashed a Joying stock firmware, it worked with a MCU and DVD warnings and an audio cut-off every 10 sec, the radio didn't work .
I finally reboot to TWRP and flashed your ROM. it got stuck on boot animation and a white screen , turned out, it was very hot.
after letting it off for some time , I tried again and it worked fine
your Rom fixed:
- Radio works
- no audio crackling and cut off.
-next and back button on steering wheel works on Android Auto playback .(it did not work before) using headunit reloaded .
- no DVD warning .
had to use a tweaker to remove yellow banner about mcu not matching .

so far it's working really well and faster .

Thank you very much for giving a new life to my s**ty HU.

You might want to consider the heatsink & fan mods, especially if yours is single DIN. all the Intel-sofia run quite hot. Mine has been reliable for several years since doing this.

What is your problem? You show errors and also working screens. And one working screen is "normal", the other is in Airplane mode.
So tell us first what is currently happening with your system. Show us screenshots of your current situation.
Even more: Is this even a FYT unit? 90% of the Sofia units were FYT units, but that makes 10% not a FYT unit.

 

[arass1979]

After the icons are shown, it turns off after 10 seconds

If you did a firmware flash with this custom rom, you might have run in one of the Sofia issues: getting too hot.

On those units, after flashing, the optimization of apks need to take place. But in doing that some units get extremely hot and simply shut down, and then restart the same optimization step. That is when you get the error on your Audi screen where it says "...has not fully launched 3 times...".
If this indeed took place your unit will be very unstable.
Two things to try:
- Remove/unscrew the lid from the unit and restart the unit. Cool the CPU with a hairdryer (or something alike) on "cold" and hope the optimization step will continue.
- If that doesn't work, reflash it again and immediately use the cold hairdryer to cool the CPU during the restart/optimization step. This can take take up to 5-6 minutes.

Issues:

-Unable to send text message via google voice app using Pulse SMS, error is "Message couldn't be sent" // If anyone has a fix for this, please let us know
-Google Assistant doesn't work, launching activity manually results in "The Google Assistant doesn't work on this device" / You can fix this by changing the resolution to at least 720. use the command wm size to change the screen resolution or another tool that can change DPI

For FYT SoM (5009/6011/6021/6022/6023) based JOYING / Intel SoFIA units ONLY!

Hello, here is a custom rom based on the SYU Stock Build [sofia3gr_car_64-userdebug 6.0.1 MMB29M eng.bsp.20180110.181524 release-keys]

Your Head Unit MUST ALREADY BE ROOTED! You must be able to obtain Super User access within Android!

Due to Bluetooth, WiFi, and as well as nvram patches in the ROM and bootloader, you must be running Joying 6.0 firmware dated 2017_12_15 or later to install this ROM.


Why this ROM? Simple answer: It's makes your Head Unit faster than running the stock ROM's, has updated Google Apps, and has the bloat removed! It's pre-rooted also!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Unzip the contents to the root of your USB flash drive on your computer, then plug the flash drive into the Joying unit via USB.

Step 2. Use the Android helper application "custom" to install. Download from link below, either on the Head Unit itself, OR on PC and transfer using ADB. Once installed, open the program, and grant superuser privileges when prompted, you'll be presented with screen as here:

Step 3: Click INSTALL CUSTOM. Wait for output to say recovery successfully installed!

If you wish to preserve your /data, AKA dirty-flash, click on "Do not wipe data" at this point to prevent your data partition from being wiped.
ALL EXISTING DATA ON UNIT WILL BE ERASED. THIS IS A CLEAN INSTALLATION!

Step 4: click REBOOT TO INSTALL GTX ROM - Your Joying unit will reboot, and installation will automatically proceed through TWRP.

(NOTE! The ROM automatically re-installs stock recovery during installation, so if something goes wrong, you can always restore to the original JOYING firmware.)

Recovery options:

RESTORE STOCK - Restores the original stock recovery
INSTALL CUSTOM - Installs superdave's custom recovery (needed to install this ROM)
VERIFY RECOVERY - tells you which recovery you have installed

Rom Utilities:
(all options on this menu work only if you have custom recovery installed)
"Do Not Wipe Data" Switch - enable this to prevent your /data partition from being wiped when installing the ROM. (Your results may vary. Works for me!)
REBOOT TO TWRP - Reboots to TWRP home screen allowing you to do things
INSTALL GTX ROM- installs joying_gtx stock rom from installation media
Exit - exit custom
