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.
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

Okay the title may say it all but I am looking to get myself an Android Double Din car stereo.
I currently have a 6.2" Clarion and the screen size is adequate and it is very usable and I love the radio but I would prefer to have an Android stereo, possibly with a larger display.
I haven't made a decision yet and I'm extremely interested to hear from all of you to see what type of Android car stereo you are using and why you think it's the best one.
Ideally the stereo I would like to buy would have a 7" screen that is either detachable(and doubles as a tablet) or motorized with full DVD capabilities. I'm not super picky about the screen size. DVD/CD is not a real requirement but would be nice to have.
I do not care if it can be rooted but root would definitely be a plus.
The newer the Android OS loaded onto the stereo the better as long as it's stable and everything works as you'd expect.
I've already done a bit of research on these stereos and was leaning towards the XTRONS TD729A or this OUKU Stereo found on eBay but I know there's hundreds of different stereos out there and what better place to get advice on Android Tech than XDA?
Also saw the Newsmy NU3001 Android 4.4 Double Din car stereo. No DVD or detachable panel like I'd like but it does seem like a nice stereo. Opinions?

I think that radio looks nice but there's no way that would fit in my dashboard. I had to modify my dashboard to fit a double din stereo to begin with. The way my current stereo is installed it sits flush in my dashboard. It almost looks factory. See the photo attached below.
I'm looking to recreate that "almost factory" look again but this time I'd really like an Android stereo. That stereo you linked to would require extreme modification to my already modified dashboard.

And yes these stereos to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and with the correct accessories, 3G as well.
If the stereo has Google apps installed and is connected to the internet, it will sync most information with your phone.

This Sony stereo is not an actual Android car stereo. It's a double din Xperia phone mount that replaces your radio and puts your Xperia phone in it's place. As far as I can tell anyway.
I'm really starting to think that this one might be a winner.

Certainly the unit I posted before wins on specs, but this one is more good-looking, for sure... it seems nice. I can't understand why you said that the device with the tablet wouldn't fit in your car but this one would... both of them are 7", right?

The tablet unit you posted before has a much larger bezel around the screen. that bezel makes it too large to fit in my dashboard. Might not be the same for everyone but if you look at the photo of my current setup that I posted up above, you'd see what I mean.

The only thing I can see about that stereo that kind of makes me keep looking at others is the fact that in the item description there's no mention of the stereo having Google Play. Maybe it's been figured out in the xda thread I linked to in that post but without Google Play what's the point in an Android device?
EDIT-- Even though the website selling the unit does not expressly say that Google Play is pre-installed to the device, there are hundreds of posts in the xda thread that mention "install this from Google Play" or "install that" or "I installed this from Google Play"
I'm assuming that considering it is pre-rooted out of the box that you can either install Google Apps from recovery or that the apps are pre-installed.
Here's that same radio only it has 2gb of RAM.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-2-Din-Uni...05&prg=11353&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=271673297957&rt=nc
I confirm Google play is installed.
I just check one video on YouTube and I see the icon installed
And checking randomly in the xda post related, I see discussion about "where do Google play and Google play music install their files after downloading "
So definitely yes

Yeah I really think I like that unit. My only gripe with it is the lack of DVD capabilities which truthfully isn't an issue because it's been confirmed that you can plug in a portable hard drive and use that for movies and music just fine.
That and the damn price tag. For the model with 1gb ram you're looking at about $400 and the model with 2gb ram is over $500.

Here is a link to a quadcore SOM board
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...L-KLD-RM-GS-JY-YZ-BN/1657211_32608448711.html
I bought my head unit from this seller. Had good communication with him, reliable seller.
I have RK3188 SoM 16GB in stock
IN USA I can ship you one for 85$ plus shipping
Hi ! thanks for your inputs
Did you notice a real difference between the dual core and the quadcore?
Thanks !
Is this compatible with KYD model?
I have the KD-c1908 from Pumpkin audio and they have been upgrading this unit.
the RK 3188.
They quoted me 70$ us shipped to me in canada from china for the board and 100 for the front higher resolution panel (complete minus som)
Now the question is do I do the display upgrade as well
I have noticed twice the speed when using google earth and I can simultaneously install several apps much faster than with the 3066. Not much of a benchmark I know but I would say it was worth the investment in the quad SOM.

May I have one question: Can I upgarde the LCD screen too? From 800X480 to 1024X600. If yes, where I can buy it?
Thanks!

I'm in Canada. I'm not sure what the lcd model number is. Its a KD-c1908 from Pumpkn audio and is the 7 inch version with the SOM board on the back.
I'll see if there is a part number on it.

Sorry Joying does not have a head unit like that and the motherboard is different.
you can show me the actual LCD and I will check if I have it but so far not very Joying like,

The lcd is hidden under that, I haven't disassembled it any further than that yet.
There are 3 connections coming from the lcd/digitizer. In that picture there is: 1 two wire white plug for the backlight on the left. One small ribbon on the top for the digitizer and one long one on the top right for the lcd itself.
Do you have a picture of yours that would be similar ?

It is not too hard to open,
anyway from what I can see I dont know if I can help, you can ship your head unit or just the front so I can try to fix it but no guarantee as I have only worked on Joying.
and this seams a bit more private so email me directly joyingUSA // gmaiI
Hi,
I'm looking for a place to buy the RK3188 SoM to upgrade my JY RK3066 headunit.
I saw the link to aliexpress on the first post but they are asking $120 (!) for something that I see others got for $70 shipped.
Any place to order it for a decent price?
thanks
I need help as confused with which one to buy, my budget is 50 to 70 dollars,
Requirement is mainly channels viewing (no games required) especially sports channels.

Oh such a nice response,,,,,
Maybe because it is next to impossible to find an Android TV for this price, at least new...

On AliExpress there are many with thousands of buyers, I'll share some links,,,?
Feel free to do so as I still fail to find a good Android TV for under 100 bucks.

Both of the above around 70 dollars each
Ahh, now we see the difference
You ask for an ANDROID TV but in fact you are looking for an Android TV BOX - big difference!
In case I got this right:
IMHO there is little to no difference between the various boxes.
Comes down to what the firmware can provide as the hardware is next to identical.
Sure, a new DDR4 box will load much faster and might be a better choise for gaming...
But for watching videos it matters more what TV you have and what you do with it.
For 4K content and DRM stuff you should check first if the box really supports it.
4K in Youtube and Netflix usually only works if Android TV is installed but won't always work in 4k on a normal box.
And of course if you need Bluetooth (game controller, phone pairing...) then you should look for those having BT4 and dual WiFi.
I have the X96 that I only got because I saw little support for it and wanted to try some modding on my own.
Quite happy with it but it has no BT.
Got the Yundoo Y8 a few days ago and although it is fast and has BT I am not really impressed by it.
There is no DRM support that is worth to mention, not even Widewine.
3D gaming performance is, for what I can see, neither better nor much faster than on the S905X.
I suggest to check what you really need in hardware, then check which boxes in that field are supported by the modding community.
Beelink, Mecool, VIM, just to name a few.
Android Nougat is overrated IMHO too.
So far no manufacturer produced a Marshmallow rom that had no annoying flaws, even if it is just the messed up keyboard support.
Android7 brings more problems for the modding and so far only half cooked solutions are hitting the market
Unless you love to tinker with firmware a lot I suggest to stick to Android6 for now.
Beelink GT1 Ultimate !!!
Just ordered to my nephew from AliExpress. The Price is below 60$ and the Beelink firm is well known.
It has 3G RAM and Memory of 32G. The processor is Amlogic S912 Octa Core CPU DDR4. In other words it's a beast for that price.
Enjoy,
