Hi, I'm completely new to all this so please forgive me if this has been covered well elsewhere.
I can't find much information on why it's taken so long for an Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop Head Unit firmware. Does anyone know what its development status is, when it might be released, if it will be compatible with older android head units and if there will be many differences?
Thanks
Well the developer of 'Joying' tells me they're expected by March... https://twitter.com/carjoying/status/674874058891104256
Seems a bit pointless putting out lollipop with 6.0/Marshmallow out just now they would be better off just releasing Marshmallow instead

Hello respectfull people☺
I've got a headunit unbranded and written on the screen that it's android 4.4 but if I tap on the label android version I discovered that it's android 4.2
Anyway that's not a problem because it works good
My question now is how can I upgrade it to android 4.4 kitkat?
Other question is if I can't upgrade it so can I make a format to the software and install a 4.4 android to replace the 4.2????
Thanks for you all if you helped me in that issue.

No one can help unit youve shown us something that can identify your unit, post a pic of your settings/about screen that shows your MCU type.
What we can say is that if its got an Mstar processor its deffo NOT an MTCB/C head unit, it may be an AN21-U unit, theres a thread for them in the General forum.

informations about the headunit is full AOSP cedric3 on Mstar.. and I will be thankfully if you give me a link to catch any answers from it
I don't know why pictures of the headunit I can't uploaded here
You will have to look for a thread with "AN21-U" in the title in the Android Head Unit General forum (its a very long thread started at least 3 years ago with millions of views) - in order to post a link I would have to look, so you may as well look yourself.
Ok thanks [emoji1] [emoji1]

Hi guys,
in the last few days I had a look at various type of "chinese smartwatches" mounting Android Lollipop 5.1. I'd like to buy one of them for curiosity and for trying to build some apps.
I have a question about the software: as they mount Android Lollipop and not Android wear, is there the possibility that they will be updated, I think to Android 6.0 or something like that? Or better, is there any Android wear custom ROM to flash on them? Thank you for your replies guys
Update info
The update to Android marshmallow would be possible but I do not think any manufacturer decides to do an update, the smartwatch come out with Android lollipop to recycle code and have greater compatibility with older apps.
In future it may be possible to have a custom rom with android wear but will be a long and not compatible with all Chinese devices, when I have not seen a single port on a smartwatch that runs Android 5.1

That works, but one wonders if it is worth the effort?
Have it synonymous with my MTCD RK3188 tried and have given up dan!
Sure, you'll find an Android 6 update on the web, but it would be easier to just flash a ROM, for example. Malaysk ROM or Hal9k depending on tastes and functions, I recommend you both, whereby Malaysk ROM offers more features and finishes.
Hello!
I am sure this topic has been covered before but couldn't find any information I am looking for unfortunately. I got a 10.1" Android headunit off AliExpress and it came with Android 6.1.1. I would really like to update the system to android 8.1 if possible. I tried going to system update in the settings and it states "path does not exist." If you guys have any input or links to where I can download the software and still keep the functionality of the tablet for my car, please let me know!
Thanks!
Hello,
I need help to find out, how to update a chinese PX6- Based Android HU.
I have bought this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-E87-E82-10-25-Android-8-1-SixCore-Auto-GPS-Navigation-Radio-2-32G-iDrive/113662190612?hash=item1a76cb6414:g:NOoAAOSwFfJccWCv
But it says no where which manufacturer it is.
I have seen that all HUs are looking same, but have all different vendors.
Are they just like whitelabel products, and every HU is the same?
If i can update the HU, i would like to write a little tutorial in order to help the rest with these chinese HUs.
I have found a chinese site with a PX6 software version, but dont know if its compatible.

Thank you very much.
Most BMW Headunits are from GS, you find the code within the MCU version numbering.
It`s not possible to upgrade from a lower Android version to a newer one, if you have an 8.1 Unit you only can update internally to newer 8.1 Updates.
the chinese do not release source codes, if you want to have a unit with newer android, unforunatley you need to buy a new Unit (better with Snapdragon 625).

Oh thats an answer I don´t quite expected.
Are updates not possible even with other custom roms?
Can´t these custom roms simply add the BMW-Skins?
What would you suggest to do with this device?
They are quite expensive.

It`s more a question of what features do you miss at the moment, newer units also miss some features older units have.
There are two large Posts at the F30 forum, one primary for Android 7.1/8.1 and one for Android 9.0.
Note that Android 9 is available for PX6 and Snapdragon, anyways it`s not possible to upgrade a 8.1 Unit to 9.0 at the moment.

I found a page called xtrons
