Good Afternoon Folks.
I am a bit lost at the moment don't really venture over to the Samsung phones as I don't have one myself.
However my wife does and its running a very old version of Android and I think its quite rubbish to be honest. I would like to root it and upgrade the rom to the latest that is possible. (I have done this with with my HTC Desire and many times in the past with WinMo phones)
Now I am not 100% sure if it is a Galaxy 3 or not and I was wondering if anyone can clairfy that for me. All the pictures of the G3 on the web are almost identical to her phone but they seem shorter and fatter
Her's was called a Samsung Galaxy Apollo I believe when she got it. I have also seen it being reffered to a I5800.
I have gone onto the About screen on her phone and listed some information here if that helps:
Model Number: GT-I5800
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I5800XXJG3
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.B0JH1
Could someone please clarify to me if this is the G3 and if so the latest rom available or may even a link to a rom dev that is fairly stable and fast?
I am hoping for 2.3 but don't think that is about for this phone so I am guessing it will be 2.2?
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Max

yes! whatever info you have given indicates that the phone is a galaxy 3(and gt-i5801(Apollo)=gt-i5800) it means you can flash any firmware of gt-i5800 to gt-i5801 & vice-versa.
So, go ahead and flash any ROM like Indroid, Kyrillos, Destiny ROM or G3 mod etc using Odin multi-downloader(above listed are Froyo based custom roms) & almost all of them are good.
There is also a gingerbread based CM7 but it is in alpha stage, see if you like it. All these and more roms can be found in the Development sub-forum of galaxy 3. And yeah your phone IS galaxy3. Best of luck.
Hit thanks button if I've helped you.

Thanks for your reply that is very helpful.
One last question would you know the best rom for speed and power. I am looking for something fairly light as one of the reasons we are upgrading because she wants to play a game but with the standard rom half of the buttons appear white and very slow I am guessing this is because theres not enough power for the game to display properly.

Galaxy 3 has a crap GPU with screwed up drivers, so it faces problems rendering some of the imersive graphics of the games.
You should first flash any good ROM as Kyrillos 8.0 or Indroid 6 and flash any OC kernel like G3Mod or fugumod and overclock your CPU using setCPU and also use Chainfire3d. But, first learn about the advantages and disadvantages of overclocking

Any one else has problems with bluetooth tethering from another device (phone) to the lenovo ideatab A3000?
I've tried to bluetooth tether from several phones (including nexus 4 and 5) but there is no "use for internet access" option when I go to the settings for the devices connected/paired via bluetooth. I only see "unpair" and "rename"
Bluetooth tethering is on and I've paired the devices. I've also managed to bluetooth tether from the A3000 to other devices.
Would really appreciate any advice and help to solve the problem!
Android Version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version: 3.4.5
Software version: A3000-130125

Probably not, unless it is rooted and uses a Qualcomm FM/combo chip.

Custom ROM V787
Hello,
do someone know a custom ROM newer than 5.1 for Philips Xenium V787?
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
i got a problem connecting my Android device to my rk3188 HU via Bluetooth.
My devices:
Google Nexus 5 : Android version - 6.0.1 cyanogenMod
rk3188: Android Version - 4.4.4 Malaysk rom(newest)
Display - 1024x600
To my problem: i can pair my phone to the hu. No problem, but when i want to connect my phone to the rk3188 device it says, that it is connected but telephon is not possible. After that it disconnects itself. The connection breaks up. I tested it on several devices with different Android Version like 4.4.2 and 5.1.1 and it works just like it should. Seems like its an Android 6.0 and higher problem. Is there somebody with the same problem and know how to solve this?
Thank you!
Hi,
i can´t help, but i have similar problems...
My Devices:
LG G4 (Andoid 6.0)
Erisin ES2046B (rk3188 / 1024x600 / newest Malaysk Rom 4.4.4)
I can pair my Android phone to the HU, but when i try to sync my contact list it breaks up the connection.
I tested several MTCBlueTooth.apk (by Malaysk and other) but still the same problem.
I also changed the way of sync in the phone contact list options and tried to send the contacts manually,
but nothing really works.
I also tested another phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) a few months ago and it worked like a charm.
Now after an update to Android 6 it seems like the same problem like yours, its still paired but it randomly
breaks the connection.
I´m still holding out hope for a solution and thanks for reading...

Hi,
I have experienced the same issue with CM13 on N7100 and i9506. Appears to be a CM13 issue - perhaps post logcats on CM forums?

i don't know, i still think that it is an android 6.0+ issue. A friend of mine has a android m stock rom and it appears the same problem.
I have an LG G4 6.0 and it works fine with my Joying rk3188. But to be honest I haven't done more than make sure I can stream music and test out the hands free calling features.
I thought I was the only one!....I got a Lenovo zuk z1 with android 6.0.1 and the same problem.....you even can listen to the streaming music through you android car radio, but nothing about calls,.It seems can't synchronize with your contacts.Any help?
My Huawei Mate 8 with Android 6.0 connect perfectly via Bluetooth (phone calls, contacts, music) to my Eonon RK3188 4.4.4.
To all of you who don't have any issues with Bluetooth connection, which Rom have you installed on your HU?
G2110F stock rooted.
Still running the stock ROM it came with. Will give the ROM number next time I get in my car.

I can't make any promises, but I'm willing to look into logs from your phones (especially CM13 devices) as I have the same issue. Phone shows up as "Connected (no phone)" and Bluetooth media works fine. Grab a logcat or a bug report and attach or post on pastebin.com and I'll see what I can find.

Pardon my ignorance here (still learning) but nothing in the "About machine" is labeled as the ROM so I will list the following:
MCU - MTCB-JY-V2.73
Android version - 4.4.4_25082015
Kernel version - 3.0.36+
Build number - rk3188-eng4.4.4.25082015.12:15:58
One thing I did notice when I was pairing my G4 was that the HU was trying to control the pairing where as every other Bluetooth pairing was controlled by the phone. I stopped the HU and used my phone to control the pairing. And I did confirm that all features work properly. I loaded up my directory, controlled music, etc all from my HU.

i solved this problem flashing cm12.1 (android 5.1.1) back to my nexus 5. Now everything ist working like it should. I'm little upset to downgrade, because some features are missing which were very important to me. @nivron: i try to find some time to flash to cm13 again and get the logs. After that i will try to post it here or on pastebin.com or both.

Hi! I have same problems with connecting my OnePlus One (CM13) to HU (RK3188, Android 4.4.4).
I grab logs as you ask. Attached logs represent new connection attempt - I remove all devices and run search. I prepared both log from my phone and HU.
Thanks!

Problem is fixed with latest cm13 nightly... But be aware of the launcher problem! So I would suggest to wait one day! Launcher fix is already added but not in a build!
Cheers

What about those of us not running cyanogen? I have a Nextbit Robin and its bluetooth functionality is heavily impaired thanks to the changes in android marshmallow.
Is there any fix or app to downgrade the bluetooth protocol or something?
Same issue since Marshmallow update
Hi
I have a rooted RK3066 4.4.4 unit and and Xperia M5. Since the Marshmallow update on my M5 i can no longer connect my phone to my headunit. I pairs fine but just connects the reconnects. Has anybody found a solution to this problem?
Hi all,
I have a an android head unit installed in my car, this goes way back to 2013-2015. I know it's been awhile and ive been using it ever since. Upon going into settings to get some other info. This is what ive found/share with you guys so you'd understand what im dealing with better.
Android Version - 4.0.3
Baseband Version - Unknown
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7 -gd7614e0 [email protected] #63
Build Number - CarDVD 4.0.3 IML74K [email protected]
I know this is a pretty old headunit with low specs but is there a way i could update it to a more later version? I understand if they have discontinued updates , but is there any custom firmware or some kind of latest firmware that is compatible to run it? Or am i stuck with this forever?
Some of the details of the hardware
-Samsung Arm CortexTM-A 8 processor 1.2 Ghz CPU
-Memory: 512MB DDR2 SDRAM and 1.2G Mb for Android 4
-Internal Storage 4G Byte land SLC Flash.
THANK YOU!!

Welcome new member.
From searching xda.....
[is there a way i could update it to a more later version?]
- No apparent method, no.
[understand if they have discontinued updates , but is there any custom firmware or some kind of latest firmware that is compatible to run it?]
- No apparent firmware or options, so no.
[Or am i stuck with this forever?]
-Yes unless replacing it with one that has firmware that meets your needs.
No worries, you're welcome, anytime - bub-bye
