InDashNet Octa Core Lollipop Head Units Info Thread

[touchpt12]

That's great!
I hope the repacking goes well, I just mailed Thomas again to get instructions about the repacking just in case, since Dragonface doesnt work for this image, mostly for the differences in the default build.prop and script.bin files for this HeadUnit for what I can see.
I you can, share the link to the tools and some indications, the O.S. used doesnt matter

Im basically just waiting for confirmation on my CAN BUS working and the source release to get one of this, as a community, I think we can also help to make it better besides the customizations
(asked again about the list of radio chips options for those interested)

Thanks again, as always

I'm learning as I go... I want to eventually create a DEODEX version so that we can tweak the ROM and add themes. Getting root will be the ultimate goal.

root would be a blast to have!

the HuiFei type Head Units (rk3188) use this code on the Factory Settings menu item
*#hct#root#
and just after the code is introduced without a restart, you can install super su or kingroot
http://d.kingoapp.com/default/KingoRoot.apk

I dont know if such a code works on this lollipop image, but on the new lollipop image from joying its still working, as recently reported

I hope Im getting some good news soon about my car model and the source, so I can take the plunge and join you guys

I wish you success

Finally after a lot of attempts, I managed to compile a ROM with a working Playstore. Everyone, give it a try and report any issues. I will begin work on DEODEX and optimizations to improve this ROM even further.

rubenjavier, DragonFace is the utility I was using all along to extract the system files and mod them. I used the latest version 2.25. The issue with getting the ROM to boot and not crash was implementing the correct APKs etc.

 

[swyner]

Awesome work guys. Anyone test this out yet? @CompletelyNumb you have chance to test it?

 

[CompletelyNumb]

I will test tomorrow and report back!

As for DragonFace, I tried saving an image with build.prop changes, it didnt boot properly. I also tried saving an image with a new boot logo, it too didn't boot properly. Every image I tried to alter failed to install or boot properly. The stock image worked fine. I tried no less than 3 dozen times. (5.1.1 img, DF2.25). Would love to know where I went wrong there.

I created a new boot picture, made Nova Launcher my default launcher and added a clock/weather widget for the home screen.

Awesome! Thanks for doing that. The system seems really smooth and looks good. One thing I did notice is start up is just over 18 sec then wifi, bluetooth and everything else loads by about 33 sec. Obviously you are testing this on a bench but would be curious how long it would take to get radio playing from cold boot. Are there any "sleep" settings in the stock ROM?

Thanks again for all your work guys...

Hey all, this unit seems like a promising platform. Decent CPU+GPU combo and Android 5.1 capable, but it's unclear to me what the hardware connections are. The website also only 1 low quality picture for my car model (Kia Sorento: http://www.in-dash.net/buy_en/store/index.php?route=product/product&search=sorento&product_id=138) and doesn't have a picture of the rear side with the connectors. Does anybody know whether this unit has a video out (RCA) connection? I have two screens for my kids in the rear seats which I have currently connected to a Pioneer AVIC-F910BT unit.

 

[CadillacMike]

i too am very interested in this, but the website is sort of confusing. Just one pic per model, has a spec sheet, but not an actual description:
http://www.in-dash.net/buy_en/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=22_6&product_id=11

 

[j0bro]

Ok, to answer myself on one of my questions: CompletelyNumb did post a link to some pictures of the actual unit: http://imgur.com/a/qOpDU (link to his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66242080&postcount=9). It shows the rear+connection diagram so we have plenty connectivity options (even two video outs which I actually need!)
@CompletelyNumb: were you able to choose that front bezel, is it a car model specific one or maybe the standard one? Thanks!

 

[CompletelyNumb]

I have a vehicle specific model. Your front bezel will be customized to match your vehicle, so long as it's not a universal model.

Good to note it didn't come with the proper mounting hardware, had to go to home depot and find my own screws.

Going to try that new image today. Has anyone got bluetooth working with 5.1.1? I notice there's no native bluetooth function in the android settings, and the supplied "bluetooth" app has no settings or connection dialog.

Bluetooth works but only with pairing to your phone/tablet. Just look for your head-unit when scanning for Bluetooth devices and then connect to it.

Any chance of getting an OBD2 reader to connect with bluetooth in the future? Or will I need to go for a USB version?

 

[swyner]

Does anyone have Thomas' direct email? I have been emailing the indash.net general email and not sure if that is Thomas or not. I really need to find out the status of making my specific fascia for Audi TT. If someone has it can they PM me?

 

[j0bro]

Yeah or just post it here. I also mailing via their website but got no reply. I wanted to see more hi res pictures of the actual units. The images on the website are very fuzzy and I would like to have more detailed specs about the hardware and connectors.

I believe you may be able to connect to a OBD2 adapter if you have a app like Torque installed. I have been doing testing with the ROM so I have yet to put it back in my car to test everything out.

In-Dash doesn't make any for my BMW, hopefully one of the other manufacturers makes one of these soon

I emailed via their website and got a reply, but it didn't make a lot of sense. I thought in-dash was an American company but the text didn't read like English was their first language.

And the answer made no sense. I asked why there were three different units listed for Jeep, with different product numbers. All the pics and specs were the same. The email replied said they were all the same. Makes no sense
