[Q] ES9401A 2 Din 8" Android head unit - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I recently bought this head unit on ebay. It's running Android 4.2.2 on a dual core 1.6Ghz CPU and everything is very smooth and fast. The device is rooted too.
The unit comes with navigation software that start automatically when you press the hardware 'GPS' button on the device. I would like to change what program is started when I press that button (ie. start TomTom or Sygic). Does anyone have an idea on how to do this? I've been in contact with the Chinese seller on ebay, but they don't seem to understand my question. I keep getting answers back that tell me how to change maps in the provided navigation software :silly:
So if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did you find the way, how to change the GPS hard button sohortcut?
Thanks

Since the unit is rooted you can install the xposed framework. Using the Xposed additions module you can remap the function of buttons. I'm not sure if this will worth with the unit but it's worth a shot :good:

[Q] [SUPPORT] Headphone Audio Controll issue

im sorry if im not explaining myself well i dont know the terms
ok heres my problem i have been on a hunt for a pair of headphones that will work with a samsung conquer 4g (sph-d600) and have media controlls
currently i have a pair of Sol republic Tracks V8 headphones and the media controls are messing up
when ever i press a button on the wire the voice dialer or call log comes up
my os is Android 2.3.6 gingerbread rooted with a custom rom i cant find
im trying to use poweramp
im attaching a logcat (its my first one so i hope its done right) and screenshots of my headset settings from dbpoweramp
anything i can do to fix this?
new development in post 6 http :// forum.xda-developers. com /showpost.php?p=38217123&postcount=6 (remove the 6 spaces in the url, im under 10 posts)
That's because Android doesn't recognize 3-Headset Buttons correctly due to some patents from Apple...
thanks for your reply
but it does recongnise all 3 buttons as key:231 (according to CWM recovery key test)
so in theory i should be able to assign this as a single button remote
or should i just return this product to the store
is there any way to get rid of the voice dialer
or use an app from the market to fix this issue
on a side note i used to know of a site or forum thread that gave descriptions of system software and weather or not they are safe to remove. would you or anyone else happen to know what that site or thread was?
Sorry but I dont get you...
If you mean wheter its theoretical possible to use a 3 Button Headset: YES
Have look here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/
You also could try to develop an App on your own in combination with this Hardware Mod. Therefore change the resistor values and check them in cwm. Then route them over the standard Prev Play/pause and next function.....
But this is theoretical....

[App] GALA (SDVC) Speed dependant volume control (using GPS)

Did you guys ever notice the "GALA" function of your stock radios?
When you drive faster the volume is raised automagically.
I really love this feature and miss it here. BUT I am currently coding an App to fix this lack
I hope you are looking forward to this and so I have a Alpha Verison ready for you. But beware! it is not tested in live environment yet!!!
I will update this post with any new version or information.
Hint: GALA = german "Geschwindikeitsabhängige Lautstärkeanhebung" which means "Speed-sensitive volume increasement"
On Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.firesplash.galaapp
//Updated 2014-06-17
Do you have an updated version of this or no? I know this is an old thread but someone pointed it out to me.

There is Car Service app that supports this among other fubctions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petrows.mtcservice
It is preinstalled on e.g. Malaysk ROM. I would recommend to use it as is is stabile and proven to work on our units.

That's what I was using but I was having an issue w/ the first speed jump being more than the specified jump. The new Malaysk ROM fixed that though.

There are settings in RK3066 HEADUNIT, is this kph or if the unit is on MPH, do I use those values 2 settings for up and down?

Same question here.
I see the setting in the Malaysk ROM, but it's not quite clear what the numbers mean or what the reference units are. It'd be nice if there were further explanations.
I tried some settings. They are KPH values for each volume kick up or down. I did 40, 70, 100 and the volume goes up or down at those thresholds.
It was confusing for the default values.

Hi , the way, this discussion seems dead and the "Gala" application too. I'm looking for an app SDVC that increases volume based on speed on my PX5 android 6. Unfortunately Gala does not work on my unit like any other I've tried. I would like some developers to make an application for all Px5 MTCD or better yet updated " Gala" that supports MTCD Px5. I hope some genius will do it soon.
I am also (and many PX5 user too ) very interestest on a app like "RK3066 Headunit" or "S.D.V.C." (unfortunately Android 4.4/5.1.1 only) , which can provide Speed Depend Volume Change for Android 6 / PX5 users!
Come on Guys, i believe somebody can programming a small SDVC-tool - I would donate for it!
We hope that a developer will consider this request. Many Px5 users want it.
Do not you move a leaf for this? !!
Is anyone get this GALA function (increase volume from speed) i have PX3 with Malaysk 3.1 rom,but I not see MTC SERVICE in Malaysk rom,and I can't get this function to work in any way ???
I have created an app that does that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.festinger.autovolume

...installed your app a few days ago - but can't figure out, how to set it up properly so that it works. is there even an option like a settings menu? all i can see, is the speedometer (working - means: the speed is shown) and the volume: recognizes the volume i set via volume-knob.. BUT: the volume does not change at all, no matter how fast or slow i drive... is there anything i can do?
how is this app supposed to work??
I've made an instruction video, see if it helps.

wow. thanks a lot for your work and uploading an explanation. but unfortunately this did not solve the problem. it seems, the app is not working on my head unit - it's a s32f0_leima, rk3368.
maybe your app is only for phones?!
i recorded a video of my last try with your app - i set the minimum volume to 8 and the max to 20 - for testing i set the speed between 10 and 120... your app is showing the speed, but the volume never changes - it only displays the current volume which i set via volume knob. it also recognizes, when i change the volume by myself via volumen knob - but the app unfortunately does not change the volume at all
...link to the recording: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2nc5w0opc9i3de/VID-20230111-WA0000.mp4?dl=0
...any ideas? or maybe you can adapt the app for head units?! would be great!!
Sorry, you are correct, it won't work on head units, didn't work on mine either. Google doesn't think controlling volume from an app is needed there. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/172344922?pli=1 .

How to use Mode Key when Creating an app

Hello Guys.
Hope i'm in the right forum now.
I'll write a app to let people switch between every app the like to with the mode key on the SWC. The difference between the app that is alraedy there is that i want to do it with an graphic interface like it is on the Parrot Asteroid Smart.
https://youtu.be/SHipM8Nm0yo?t=8m30s
I have a little experience in wirting Android apps, so the app itzelf won't be a big problem i think.
The big question for me: Show can i recocnize if the mode key is pushed or not?
Anybody ideas?
Already thanks

Decompile Xposed MTC modules around here or even Car Service app (RK3066 Car Service or somethinh on Google Play). Or contact developer. He may help you.
BTW I think having simple app with UI would be great thing. I really dont like these *.ini files for Xposed modules where you never know what you are doing.

I am using MTC keys module to overtake the function of the mode switch in my app ( modeswitch). I didn't manage to do it without this module. I manage to recognise the button presses without xposed, but the " original action" will launch anyway parallel to the "modified" one, leading in a mess! Since xposed doesn't work in the "hybrid 5.1.1" ROM until now, that limits the possibilities.
I have also in plans for a graphic interface, but there are a few thinks to concern: eg how to navigate between the options when you show the graphic interface.
If someone find/share how to intercept the buttons commands without xposed and "on the fly", it would be easier to set everything up.
I still use kitkat so its no problem.
On the parrot you press mode as far as the app you like is selected. If you don't press the key after eg 2 seconds the selected app will be started.
That's a little bit what I want. But with any app I want, so I can simple change between music, navi ...

Google Home Control with SM-T820?

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get Google Home Control to work with my SM-T820. I'm trying to stay away from rooting until my warranty is up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!!!
Hi! What specifically isn't working for you? I've got a Nest and a Home, was able to install the app, and find the devices.

I would like to have Google Assistant pop up when I say "OK google" rather then Google Now. There doesn't seem to be much support in the Custom Roms area for this device either? I have a couple weeks before I can return this tablet and wasn't sure if I should get a Refurbished Tab S2 that I saw on Amazon for $319? I know the Tab S3 has only been out since April, but I would have thought there would be more development by now since we do have root access?
You're right about that. But it's Google assistant that's not working.
It appears this tablet is too expensive for much development. You might return if this tablet doesn't provide specifically what you need.
It WILL be getting Oreo, though I'm not sure that'll bring assistant.

Any suggestions on how to get Google Assistant to work? I would be willing to root if that were my only option.
I'm going to look into it, but time is crunched right now.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention though.
There's an "assistant enabler" magisk mod if you get root. I haven't tested it, but it worked on my phone. It should work on any magisk rooted device I guess.

I recommend just installing a third party launcher instead. I too found no easy way to remove it.
it's a fixed position widget starting from Android 8
sadly the only way to remove it is third party launcher ...
I had this problem too. Like said above, the problem is solved immediatly with a third launcher. I've taken Nova Launcher and it works perfectly.
Otherwise, if you don't want to install another launcher, you can try this method : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
For a complete lists of your package, you can use the app : "App Inspector" on the playstore.
I did this for all google app. For the search bar, it didn't work fully but it was better than without this tip. I read that, for some people, it worked fully.
Hope you will succeed to remove it!

There is no special topic about this phone, does it work well for you?
I have it since last october ,it works pretty good! I would like to root it but I don't find a safe way to do it. I found some tip on german or russian forum but I don't speak those langages and the google trad is very approximative...
Do you find something to root it safely? ANd does this phone great for you?

I saw some guides but I didnt try to root this phone because I dont have a need for it, especially since the phone is already stock Android 9 where you can simply use adblocking DNS from within the Network settings.
Im generally satisfied with it, but proximity and finger sensors tend to misbehave sometimes, maybe its too sensitive to dust or dirt, I dont know.
My phone has V11 firmware, no updates available through the update manager, but there should be V13 available.

yeah it's true that you can replace a lot of root's features with third app's with this phone but it will be cool for me to have full access for more fun! Like totaly uninstall some apps useless for me, more customisation etc etc...
But it's really cool like it is now!
With mine : I don't have trouble witj proximity sensors but fingers sensors react weirdly, indeed. I think your hypothesis is the answer : it's too sensitive to dust and dirt.
The light sensor is a little bit weird too, but I think it's due to an android feature : user'shabits learning. Weird at the beginning, but works good after.
In my case, I have the V13 firmware (install directly via Cubot's website). I don't think it will be more update later...
One question : Do you know if this phone works well in USA? I see that it has some US's band so I think so , but I would like a confirmation
I received message from Cubot support that there are no significant or important changes in V13, so I'll leave it at that.
I also noticed phones behavior and sensitivity of sensors has changed over time, maybe it's that habit learning you mentioned..
I'm in Europe, so I can't say if it works in US. Shouldn't be too hard to find out.
I'm generally satisfied with this phone, as I tend to drop it a lot (relatively speaking) and it holds together well, and the software support+performance is satisfactory as well.
@urpi_ > Thanks for the feedback Happy to share with a Quest's owner, there aren't many
Like you, I've dropped it sometimes and the shakeproof it's real! I haven't test yet the waterproof. I will do it this summer
In very good points, I found GPS, Wifi and bluetooth respond very quick and well!
For the GPS, even in a remote location, the Quest fixes very quick
And the blutooth works very well with my earplug, even in running.
For the price, it's a very good smartphone, I'm happy with it too
Since when do you have this phone? I have it for 5 months nearly.

That's one of the reasons I would like to root it. Like you, this functionnality annoys me, although this button is very usefull . It's too bad that we can't configure it like we want and with a root, it would be possible.
For now on, I don't find a tip for changing this long press function. Maybe someone will read this thread and will have an solution
If I found something , I will share it here

Yeah, I have used Key Mapper ( https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper ) to change normal press (no root required) but I haven't found a way how change long-press behavior. Perhaps it's possible with Key Mapper too, and I just didnt find it?? Maybe.
@urpi_ > Thank you for the share, I will try it and search too if we can do something for long press configuration!
But for the normal press, you can already choose any application in settings. So, what does keymapper moreover?
Otherwise, about the fingerprint sensor:
I re-saved my fingerprints but differently :
Without perfectly clean up the sensor, like "out in the pocket" 's mode ( ) and with the "soft" part of the finger.
Before I saved it with the very extremity of the finger. This time, I used this "soft" part (a little bit under the top extremity of the finger) and with the finger kept flat.
It works pretty better now! Maybe it could make it work better for you too
Im pretty satisfied with the fingerprint sensor now, but yeah it can be probably fine-tuned to work better with this phone, like you said.
You can choose any application for normal (side-key) press, but I wanted to map it to something other than applications.
I used KeyMapper to make it a Pause/Play key for media.

So I tried this app and I think I found for the long press mode.
When you are on the window for creating a new macro, clik on "more" and then choose "long press"
After,you click on "record trigger" and push the button you want to configure, then choose the action you want.
I tried for launching an app, it worked well
But I tried for togglethe torch and it crashed the app. ANd then, the app didn't work at all, I had to reinstalled it
Hope it will help you
By the way, can you tell me what does "Data protection" setting do exactly? I see it under Security & location - Advanced menu.
I know it asks for a security entry pattern, but what for? Phone is supposed to be encrypted by default.
Yeah good question! I wonder too and I never enter a pattern for this. I think it is an android protection by default, but there are another protection too. By the way, I think there is too much protection
Other subject : I had a security upate nearly by september, I found the fingerprint and thbe camera respond much better. DO you feel that way too?

No update available for my phone. Still at February security update from 2019.
Strange, maybe you should visit the official website? If you do this, be careful : I've done the update via this way because the direct OTA way didn"t work. If the OTA's way is just an update; via the official website, it's a total reset, so, backup before doing this way
