Development of a Car Optimized ROM? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys,
The Mi PAD 4 is the perfect size(in most cases) for a car dash mounting and will be a great replacement for the now very old Nexus 7.
There have been a lot of development over the years of custom ROMs/Kernels that are specifically optimized for such a use scenario.
I for instance am in the process of collecting the needed cable and accessories but since my ROM building knowledge is very limited at best, would be very happy if there are more people here that think this idea is good and somebody builds us the custom ROM/kernel for that.
So lets discuss this.
What we will need are the following main things:
1. Kernel/ROM that is configured for a landscape use.
2. An option to have the device connected to power all the time but not charging (not to kill the battery)
3. An option to turn on the screen automatically on getting power over the USB port and turning of the device after the power is gone (car turned off) (preferably with a delay of some sort)
4. After power is lost to put the tablet in very low power mode by disabling WiFi/LTE/Bluetooth and so on (again configurable) This is to avoid draining the car battery if left for a long time parked.
5. Simultaneous Charging/OTG (this may actually already be possible, but I have still not found an OTG HUB that works properly with the Mi Pad 4)
probably I have forgotten some more things...
Have in mind that all of those I've mentioned above, already have been developed in one form or another for the Nexus 7, so it should be easier than starting from scratch...

Hey,
i am using my MiPad 4 also in my car. So far it is working fine.
I have connected the MiPad via USB to a carhifi DSP (in my case Helix MiniDSP)
Here are my answers to your points:
1. i am using Evie Launcher in landscape mode.
2. see 5.
3. MiPad is waking up and starts to play music as it detects the DSP on the USB-Port when the car is turned on, and is stopping and turning off when the engine is turned off, this is working with the Pad itself and the app Automate
4. use app Automate to turn off all radios when no USB connection is detected
5. i am not sure if this is related to the hardware of the MiPad or the Kernel, i have tested some CustomRoms but was not able to get it working, so i switched back to preinstalled inofficial international MIUI-Rom
Thanks

Hehe i also use it in the Car It was also a Replacement for my old Nexus 7 2013.

Can you please throw some more light on the "preinstalled inofficial international MIUI-Rom" ROM where simultaneous OTG+Charging is working for you? Is this is the fake ROM (as people call it) that vendors install after unlocking the bootloader and then sell it to you?
May be a link to the ROM (if its downloadable) or a screenshot of the ROM information from the tablet, will help.
TIA.

Now that I was able to make OTG+Charging work with HavocOS, am proceeding to replace the Nexus7 in my car with the Pad. Will let you all know how it goes.

I'm also thinking about installing a mi pad 4 into my car. Any news on a good setup and ROM?

HavocOs is working great so far in my car setup.

Which havoc os rom are you using? I flashed the current build today and otg plus charge doesn't work. It's one or the other.

I will next month also run a project for building in my mind in the cars radio mount (2din). So far I found Headunit Reloaded is really cool to have Android car working perfectly! For volume control I use a floating volume button (Virtual Volume Button on Play store).
But the rest I will figure out next month when I get my car finally haha

[Q] Venue 8 w/ tomtom, and backup camera

Hi, im new to this forum. I bought a venue 8 and plant to install it on my car. It just upgraded to 4.4.2. I havw some questions:
1. I install tomtom 1.3.2 us map in the internl memory but it does not work. Does anybody know how to fix?
2. Can i use easycap to connect to backup camera. If yes, w hat version of the chip of easycap. There are several chip outside there.
Thanks so much guys,
I am not familiar with the tom tom sotware but this tab is not going to work for a couple reasons. First off the easycap is not going to work on stock android as I'm almost positive there is no driver except on maybe CM rom which we can not flash at this point. Also even IF it was the windows version you had this tablet would still not be ideal for your application as it does not have a dedicated charging port. In other words you would have to disconnect your charge cable to connect the OTG adapter for the easycap. You would be much better off finding a tab with said dedicated port. Great tab, just not well suited to what you want to do. Hope I helped! :good:
so is there any uvc device capture I can use for my purpose?
What is the different between Nexus 7 and venue 8, b/c I read somewhere on the Nexus they use rooted android 4.4 or unrooted 4.3 which is similar to the venue 8?
This one will work: ( i'm under 10 posts)

Yes that will probably work but the issue is you cannot charge and use that at the same time, so if you dont mind unplugging the charger and plugging in the uvc everytime you need to use it then no prob, its just not ideal for a clean install imo. I dont own a nexus but as far as I know none come rooted (someone correct me if Im wrong) but I think it is a simple process to root em, maybe even a one click method but again I am not 100% sure. Ideally you need to see if the Nexus has the dedicated charge port or ask someone who knows as that is going to be the biggest advantage for your install if so.

Any tried and tested USB wifi dongle as sometimes my units WIFI doesnt turn on, I am hoping I can just add an external USB WIFI dongle to the OTG USB adapter and use that one that way ????

You can get other USB broadband modems working if you use the PPP Widget 2 app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget2&hl=en). I found it to be pretty annoying though so I came up with an alternative solution.
I now use a TMobile Z915 mobile hotspot. I plan to install a switch to the battery so I can still use it when travelling, but I can otherwise leave it installed in the car and have it powered by the radio. When the car is turned off, it should kill the power to the hotspot. When power is restored it will power up and have instant wifi.
I'm tempted to try my 4G USB broadband modem again just to see if it works now that I've installed the Malaysk ROM. With my portable hotspot, everything is great except that the radio thinks it is always on wifi so it doesn't mind wasting data.
Hello,
I use the Huawei E1750 USB 3G dongle. I see it run not stable and do not know the reason. I usually used this dongle in PC before take it to my car.
Sometime, the HU did not recognizes the dongle, most of times, the problem happens when I start the engine from the HU running by battery's power.
I guess the power supply for the USB port is not enough.
My HU is Klyde MCTB-KLD. RK3066, 800 X 480, Malaysk newest 4.4.4 ROM
Is there someone met this issue before? Please kindly share your experience to help me solve this.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am also using a HUAWEI E1750 in my Carjoying HU and had the same problems but maybe I found a solution.
At least the behavior of the dongle improved dramatically.
1. At first I updated the firmware to version 11.126.13.00.00.B418
2. I think this is the important point .... I disabled the CD-ROM and SD-CARD function on the dongle.
You can use for that the DC-Unlocker.
In the white window on the bottom I used this command
AT ^ SETPORT = "A1, A2; 1,2,3,7"

I have a Huawei E160 and unfortunately the AT ^ SETPORT command doesn't work on my dongle. In the past I've tried AT^U2DIAG=0 which stopped it from working with my HU - fixed by reset using AT^U2DIAG=276.
Based on the above advice, I'm now trying AT^U2DIAG=3. It works with the HU but time will tell if it has fixed the reliability issues. I'll update this when I know more.

I tried and successed!
The AT-comand must follow this instruction from http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands
The code for the "AT^U2DIAG=n" command depends on the model of dongle (Support by/Not support by)
The modem did fix quickly and more stable. But bases on the new firmware update feature: "More saving power" with your suggestion: "Disable CD and SD card reader", I think the main reason is the weak power of USB port. So, increase the USB power is more necessary because we may use any other device on it, not 3G modem only.
Thank you!
It hasn't completely fixed mine, the connection still drops out, but it MIGHT be better than before. Can't be sure though. Based on the above advice about firmware reducing power usage, I'll try that next.
This is for the benefit of anyone who owns a Huawei E160:
Do not install the latest firmware 11.609.10.02.432.b418.
After doing this, it wouldn't work with my HU at all. Unable to add APNs - they're not saved as the dongle is not recognised by the HU. It worked on my PC so wasn't broken, but the HU just didn't like it.
I downgraded to 11.609.06.02.94.B409 (was originally on 11.608.02.02.55 so is still an upgrade) and it now works once more.
I'm going to try out the different AT^U2DIAG commands to see if I can improve reliability.

Hey people,
I have a question. I have a 3g Stick Huawei E1750. It works very good, but I need 4G, because here at the most time only EDGE, and 4G is not supported by the stick. Does anyone knows a compatible working 4g STICK, not a Modem. Thanks

Trouble Restoring to Stock Nougat from CM 13.0

I'm trying to restore a Nexus 9 (flounder, WiFi) to stock Nougat from CM 13.0-20160924-NIGHTLY-flounder. Problem is, my PC won't detect the device.
I have another Nexus 9, which is running Nougat 7.1.1 and it is neatly detected by the PC as Nexus 9.
I've looked through the developer options and made sure the settings are the same on both devices. I've flipped through the various connection types while connected (charging, media, photo).
I'd appreciate some help unf#cking this situation.

I saw someone else with that same problem. Turned out to be the USB port. If it turns out to be that, it's an easy repair. Just change the USB daughter board. Couple screws and couple ribbon cables. Takes like 20 minutes, and they're like $12 on eBay.
Explore software solutions first of course. Maybe uninstall and reinstall drivers. Or even try wugs toolkit.
Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed, I read a similar thread with the same solution. A USB board should be on its way from China in the next few days. I was considering buying one anyway as the charging performance has been erratic at best for a while, which might be due to the same basic trouble with the hardware.
I'll update when the replacement board is in and installed in a couple of weeks.

I changed mine too (also from China). Mine was affecting otg connection. Fixed it right up, took about 20 minutes. I'm no pro either, only other hardware repair I've done is the screen on my n7 (2013).
Replacing the USB board fixed the problem.

Anyone been able to do anything with a Facebook Portal?

Been looking at the Facebook Portal, it's got a USB-C port on the back but according to Facebook's support it's only used "in the factory", so I'm assuming maybe that's something they might use with a flashing tool to reset damaged units. Has anyone messed around with one/found out anything about how it might work? I've noticed that, at least with mine, if I hold down power and the volume up button while it's booting, the screen remains black but the mic light is still on. Thinking this may be some kind of recovery mode perhaps.
Wow, you bought one? I can't imagine.

Oh definitely not. Wouldn't be caught dead buying one. XD Was gifted one as an early christmas gift by a friend, but trying to decide if it's something I can do anything with before I maybe... return it and get a better alexa-enabled device. Feeling really bad about that though considering they wanted to use it to communicate.
Ah-ha! Alexa enabled, but what powers it? Is it some open source thing? AOSP even?

From what I’ve been able to gather, it’s running on some form of AOSP with a custom Portal skin- haven’t been able to get much more info than that though as the info on the device past what FB has put out publicly is pretty slim. Definitely doesn’t surprise me that it’s an android device though considering that’s just about all FB seems to develop for outside of the web (Oculus Go, Facebook Home, etc.)
Would be really interesting to try using Discord on this device though, and possibly finding a way to disable FB functions. Might make it a good gift then, if not it’s making it really hard to hold onto it.
Edit: This is my source for AOSP, assuming it’s the “Android Open Source Framework” mentioned:
https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/08/facebook-portal/amp/
I got my hands on one (free gift from company) but I'm trying to figure out what to do with it too.
Hello everyone, sorry I am late to the party. It is definitely android. If you run the chromium browser and attempt to open something like a pdf file, chromium will give you an error and ask for download permissions. This error message also gives you a link to the applications settings page from where you get access to some of the settings. No permissions sadly. You can however go in to the battery optimization settings and filter for all apps and get a full list of everything installed. As can be seen in these images on imgur /a/QWqs0pP

We're stoked. We've been using the 15 inch Portal in our conference room. Hooked up a usb-c to HDMI adapter, ran it to our conference room 4K television and bam! Absolutely gorgeous.
Works flawlessly as an output, and even audio (as would be expected) is now running through the monitor.
Oh niiiice ! I actually asked facebook portal customer support, and they said nothin could be done with the usb c port ! It really is a shame cuz some people probably want to output to a bigger screen !
I want to try if usb c headphones and microphones will work. I don't have any around though !
I've tested and seen that I can use the port as a usb c PD charger, it charges my macbook pro and oneplus 6
Maybe we can figure out a way to use ADB to get us into the portal ?
---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------
Oh wait, never mind charging my macbook pro. It does so only intermittently, I should've guessed the power was too low !
So, any luck unlocking the bootloader or even getting ADB out the USB-C ?

USB-C to 3.5 mm audio only alternate mode?
Can anyone please test and let me know if a USB-C to 3.5mm analog audio jack also works - for 3.5 mm jack headphones or speaker out? More specifically, an active adapter because a passive one may not work. Such as this one: amazon.com/Tranesca-Headphone-Adapter-Compatible-Google/dp/B07M6Z2KJ4
What I do know from reading this thread is the Facebook Portal's:
- USB-C Video out (DisplayPort Alternate mode) to monitor works along with audio (monitor passthrough)
- It works as a USB-C power delivery charger
But if audio thru DisplayPort works means only audio to 3.5 mm jack will also work?
Interestingly, the official documentation (portalfb.me/2NAdtz1) claims the audio will continue to come from Portal's speakers. But people here claim it is transmitted to the monitor?
the portal burnt due to an electricity hazard overseas.
I just bought the newest Facebook Portal Mini. it comes with a browsers from Facebook. I was able to make a phone call using duo.google.com then the next day.. I lost permission to the camera: it keeps asking me for permissions.
I think they have some kind of firewall that blocks unusual behaviors

I don't really know how to do those things... But it tried scanning my portal for open ports, no ip adp connection possible. And then, with usb c connected nothing happens with adb. It can't seem to see it !
I tried enabling hidden developpers options by pressing a lot everywhere in the settings, but no luck !
Alrighty, I've got an update for you guys. It seems like FB locked out that PDF trick sadly. However, I found out that if you restart your portal and hold all three buttons down, then plug in the USB-C, it appears as a device named "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)". Based on what I've seen on a few threads here, that's a utility for reflashing and backing up device firmware. I believe we may be able to do stuff with this.
I am looking into getting the FB Portal TV. If the party on the other end of the connection is using their smart phone or tablet, does the image I am seeing become altered from wide screen to a vertical image
or does the unit adapt to keep the screen filled without becoming distorted in some way?

Have you been able to find out anything more with the qualcomm loader? I have been playing with mine and unable to get a utility to recognize is. It would be nice to be able to get get the fw off it.

I have not made any progress at all. I keep checking to see if anyone has done anything at all, but I think these devices are not too popular. Hard to find any information on them at all
So I was able to get fasboot access to my Facebook Portal+ (1st Gen).
If you plug in the power and hold down the vol down + power button. It will show the portal logo on the screen and on a black box it says "Please Reboot...". If you connect to the usb-c port then it looks like there is fastboot access to the device. It's definitely locked down, but it's a start.
I've been trying to figure out how to get adb / sideload access for a while now and this is as close as I've been able to get. I'll let you know if I find out more.

Hello, first of all: Unfortunately I have to work with the Google Translator. Therefore, the translation may not be entirely clean.
I am looking for a smartphone that can be rooted. It must definitely allow the screen to be mirrored, as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlOzI7eAfvE
Unfortunately, it seems that very few devices can do this, and connected hardware such as a remote control or the touch screen should work at the same time.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro, for example, can do it all. The Huawei P20 Pro can only mirror the display, but the touch screen and remote control do not work.
I connected a USB-C docking station which also charges the phone.
Now the Huawei devices can no longer be rooted. But I need root to automate various settings via Tasker & Co. Also some settings have to be made that are not possible without root.
Question: Which phones are still able to mirror the screen and can use the touch functionality and a remote control?
Thanks and greetings from Hamburg

That's a really interesting concept you have here, I want to try!
But I need more info about what he's doing and how he's doing. First of all what he said in the vid, I'm French and chose to learn spanish instead of German (sorry fella), so I didn't quite understand what he said. I think the video isn't a tutorial but just a demo of how it works. I'd like to know also what kind of cable he used in the video and where he plugged it in? (USB port, HDMI, ...?).
If you have any extra info it'd be great.
(For your question, idk which phone can do that but I'm quite sure that it's an app allows the guy in the vid to do what he does)
I'll come back with more info about that soon
Have a good day

A Huawei Mate 10Pro ( kept in a docking station ) gets connected via HDMI with Rasperri PI 7'' - touchscreen device.

Sorry for the late reply. I've actually finished everything so far. I took a Samsung Galaxy S9 for the project. I installed the crDroidAndroid Rom in version 6.7. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't seem to work with this ROM is the automatic boot process when the device is loaded. The developers of this ROM obviously cannot help here either. I've been in contact here for a week, but there is no solution to the problem in sight, so I have to start all over again. With other ROMs I can edit the /system/bin/lpm file so that the device starts automatically when it is supplied with power. this crDroidAdndorid ROM has obviously integrated the Charger from the Pixel 4. There doesn't seem to be a solution to this.
